sugar vs splenda

alexa137

why cant splenda or domino light taste like sugar? i still cant get over the taste its so yucky!
and has anyone used the domino light yet? it seems a little better than splenda! but still has that after taste! i have cut back on my iced tea and mostly drink water 90% of the time, but when i have coffee or iced tea i have to have some kind of sugar

try a vanilla protein shake in black coffee - same cals as with sugar but healthier and tastes much nicer than sweetner.

I personally like TRUVIA...

Splenda is bad bad bad for you! 1 packet of sugar is only 1 tsp. or 15 calories - and much more natural and healthy than the majority of substitutes (and why I think they taste "wrong"). If you need a no calorie sweetener, try agave nectar. It's all natural and much better for you than any commercially produced sugar substitute.

Truvia/Stevia or Agave are the way to go.

well to be honest at $4.99 A BOX OF tRUVIA, i cant afford it! the only way i got the splenda was b/c i had coupons! i had to get the packets also! open each one to put in my sugar container! i think i would actually rather have no sugar than to have the after taste that splenda has yuck!

Agave is not calorie free, has about 20 calories per teaspoon. But it does taste great! Love it in plain yogurt
