I have to admit, I love using Splenda over sugar or any kind of sweetener; the taste is great and I love the fluffy white powder. But, have you tried the brand new Splenda essentials yet?
They come with Fiber, Antioxidants and Vitamin B. I was super excited when Publix had this BoGo Sale and I had a coupon making the packs very affordable and I grabbed a few of the Splenda Essentials with Fiber.
I added one pack to my cup of Starbucks Coffee, which I drink every morning, and I HATED it. I have no idea, but it tasted like wet paper towels, I did not care for the Fiber Taste at all. I know a lot of products have Fiber in them nowadays and you barely can taste the “paper or Tree branches”, but the Splenda is AWEFULL!!!
I tried drinking my coffee with this all week and just never got over the awful aftertaste and looks like I will not be using the remainder of my box. Is it just me or does it really taste wired?

I did pick up the Hazelnut Flavor 6 boxes for $15.36 and FREE Shipping, that’s $2.56 per box of 30 Sticks

I like Splenda, but I’ve never tried Splenda Essentials. I’ll have to add it to my next shopping list!

I’ve been hearing some bad things about Splenda lately, so I’ve switched to Truvia. It also has that nice powdery substance you were talking about. Have you tried it? Much better than the other Stevia brands, too!

Tara, I haven’t tried Truvia yet, but soo want to. Need to check it out, I used t love Splenda, BUT no idea what they are doing….Thanks for letting me know 🙂

I don’t think it’s the brand itself that is doing fishy things, but some people say that sucralose is bad for you, whereas Truvia is just made from stevia, which is simply an herb. Since they taste so similar, I just switched to Truvia. 🙂
