Kid Friendly Natural Sweetener
If you have young kids and you're trying to avoid sugar in their diet, Sweet Leaf Liquid Stevia is a must have for your pantry. Our family favorite is the Vanilla Creme flavor. I was able to wean the kids off sweetened yogurt by adding a few drops to plain yogurt and topping with blueberries. The kids LOVE it! My other personal favorite is the English Toffee flavor. Perfect if you like a little sweetness in your coffee or tea! Stevia is simply an herb. It has zero calories, zero carbohydrates, zero glycemic index and is a healthy prebiotic for friendly bacteria in the gut. You can Google hundreds of ways to use it in your cooking.

Where do you order the flavored stevia? Our local stores only carry plain.
