SweetLeaf Organics {Review}

When trying to change to a more organic eating lifestyle, there are so many products that claim they are just what you need. The problem for me is that most taste like chemicals. So when I was asked to give the Organic Stevia and other sweeteners from the SweetLeaf line a try, I was more than happy to accept!

The first product that was tested was the Organic Stevia Packets. One packet provides the same sweetener as two teaspoons of sugar. It can be used in cooking or as any sweetener.

SweetLeaf Organic Stevia® Sweetener has a variety of uses. It can of course be used in baked goods, yogurt, beverages, etc., but it can also be used in savory entrees like roasted chicken or turkey, pasta sauce, salad dressings, and more.

Our sampling packet also contained a box of Sweet Drops. These are flavor enchancers which can be added to your water bottle, coffee or any beverage to add a fresh flavor boost. Our pack of Sweet Drops contained the Berry, Lemon Drop and Valencia Orange flavors. Just a drop or two will add a flavor boost to your beverage.

Hydrate deliciously. Choose from four natural fruit flavored blends, available in 2.1 fl. oz. (64 ml) squeeze bottles. SweetLeaf Water Drops are a natural, convenient, sugar-free and gluten-free water enhancer. No artificial ingredients!

My favorite product in the sampling was the SweetLeaf Liquid Stevia Sweet Drops. They are a liquid yummy flavor that can be added to water, yogurt, oatmeal, smoothies, coffee, and much more. We received the Peppermint Mocha and the Pumpkin Spice drops in our box. What can be said about Peppermint Mocha other than yummmm??? The Pumpkin Spice added a warmth to hot cocoa on the last few cold mornings.

SweetLeaf® products harness the power of natural stevia to bring families everywhere a better-for-you sugar alternative containing zero calories and zero carbohydrates. There are no artificial ingredients in SweetLeaf products. SweetLeaf has developed more consumer stevia products than any other single company. Enjoy a healthier alternative to sugar. SweetLeaf is the only stevia brand consistently winning international awards for taste and innovation.

As a bonus to the sampling box, we received a bar of the Cream of Coco Face and Body Soap. Oh my goodness…this stuff smells amazing; and it leaves your skin soft and silky.

Often called the “miracle in a bar,” this all-natural, deep-cleansing soap is made from the edible, delicious tasting seeds of the fruit of the Paraguayan Coco Tree. The seeds look and taste like tiny coconuts. With numerous benefits to skin and hair, you can bathe, shampoo and achieve a very close, clean shave with this luxurious body cleanser. It softens and revitalizes skin, leaving both body and hair “squeaky clean,” improving sheen, softness and manageability. It is ideal for hand washing delicate fabrics cleaner, whiter and brighter.

Our remake of a favorite recipe was our Honey Nut Granola Bars.

Ingredients:
4 ½ cups oatmeal (not instant)
½ cup flour
¼ cup brown sugar (white will work)*****  Revived using SweetLeaf Organic Stevia Packets (6-8 packets)
2 cups of chopped nuts (any style or combination)
1 tablespoon salt
2 cups honey (heat in microwave for easy pour)

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the honey
2. Stir in 1 cup of honey and mix well
3. Press into a foil or parchment lined baking pan*
4. Pour remaining cup of honey over the top of the mixture
5. Bake at 350 for: 15 minutes for chewy bars, 30 minutes for crispy bars
6. Allow to cool. Slice and enjoy!

* Use damp hands or wet the back of a large spoon to prevent mixture from sticking while pressing into pan

Options: Try mixing in raisins or other thinly sliced fruit – we added a single banana to the mix and it basically dissolved. You could taste it, but not see it in the bars.

I really like that SweetLeaf products offer the taste that is sweet like sugar, but are gluten free, and contain no artificial ingredients. SweetLeaf products are a great alternative to those that are watching their weight but also a good choice for those that need to watch their blood sugar and calorie intake!
