SWEETENERS

[JOBUD]

I made some chocolate buns using Pure Via sweetener and didn't like the taste. There was a bitter aftertaste. I've tried other sweeteners but find some have unpleasant side effects :ashamed0005:

Has anyone tried liquid sweetener or can you recommend anything else?

Having read the thread about jelly sweets, maybe I should try Tesco cordial and have Pear Drop buns !

Never heard of liquid sweeteners.xx

I saw liquid sweetener on a website selling sugar free syrups. Just been to Holland and Barrett and got some "Total Sweet" which staff there recommended. Its 40% less calories than sugar, made from 100% Xylitol (sounds like a Cold Play album to me lol). I'll give it a try.

I hae got the canderel stevia one which isn't too bad (the green one)
But we sell something call agar nectar in wait rose which is liquid, not used it though.

Thanks for that. I dont have a waitrose nearby but I'll look out for agar nectar, not heard of it before. Well done on the weight loss so far. Amazing! :clap:

I've got some of the agave nectar - it is a natural sweetener as it is made from cactus. It tastes a bit like maple syrup to me. A lot nicer than artificial sweetener. 1 teaspoon is 1/2 syn.

Thanks Cruisedolly, I'll definitely look out for some as I love maple syrup, especially on porridge. I've not tried this total sweet yet but I'll be giving it a try on my saturday morning bowl of oats so I'll give a verdict then.
