Anybody not hate stevia?

If you don't hate stevia, did it take you a while to get used to it?

I like it. I confess to only using it in coffee. But I think it is the safest of the artificial sweeteners.

Did you like it the first time you tried it? I'm wondering if I'll get used to it if I keep trying.

I tried it today for the first time in some yogurt I got at my local grocery store..... I didn't much like it.....

ElectricMayhem

ugh i hate it! especially in hot drinks such as coffee, leaves a very funky aftertaste. I'd rather save up my calories and use agave nectar or nothing at all vs. using stevia. Just sayin :happy:

iishnova

I liked it right off...maybe I'm strange..

Ready2Rock206

My fave - right off the bat...

xonikitashafferxo

i like it but i don't use a lot bc i think it's very sweet

fitniknik

I like it in tea. Unfortunately I don't like it in much else. I think its just because of a kind of strange after taste?

Depends on who makes it. Health food store years ago~ tasted bad~
from the grocery store as Truvia~ tastes great

PixelTreason

I like it. Liked the truvia right away -also bought the sweetleaf liquid stevia and that took a bit longer to appreciate but I like it fine now.

Personally I've never developed a taste for it over the years -- if I have to use a sweetener in something I tend to us splenda or real sugar depending on the application...

liquid stevia in french vanilla flavor. Loved it from day 1. Someone had mentioned previously that it's artificial... but it's not. It's all natural.

I'll admit I've only tried Stevia once, but considering the almost rotten sugar taste it gave off and how long it lingered on my tongue despite eating something else and even brushing my tongue, I can't say I'd willingly try it again.

But then again I hate all alternatives to sugar. They either leave bitter aftertastes or churn my stomach and have me on the toilet for a while.

My weird tastebuds aside I've never actually heard anything bad about Stevia or heard anyone with the same complaints as me. So I guess so long as a percentage like it and don't find it harmful to them in any way then hey. Go for it.

i love stevia, but i use the liquid type in hot beverages. the alcohol from the tincture evaporates in hot water, and the taste is completely non-bitter. i find powdered stevia gross.

Silver_Star

it tastes good at first then it has this bitter aftertaste...i have gotten used to it though. i add it to my oatmeal when its not too warm...im beginning to find it tastes better in cold things than warm . i like it ok...its not the best taste but i will take it over artificial sweeteners any day

luhluhlaura

I bought Truvia the other day and used some in my iced coffee today....maybe I used too much, but it tasted HORRIBLE...but I've always been super-sensitive to that "artificial" sweet taste...I hope I find a way to use it.

I don't mind it and haven't noticed any weird tastes, but I've only ever used it in my coffee.

Stevia is the only artificial sweetener I've found that isn't completely disgusting. I only use it in my coffee, and even sometimes use real sugar instead because of the slight after taste, but it's much better than Splenda or Sweet-n-Low in my opinion.

ToBeCountry

I did not like it in coffee. I do use it on my strawberries and taste good to me now.
It is an acquired taste. However, I cut out a lot of items with sugar in it, so maybe after a while it was "sweet" to me.
Stevia in the Raw is what I use.

PunkyRachel

I like it, I have only used in drinks, so far. It taste diff. than sugar, but it don't taste weird or gross, in my opinion.

yasmine36

I love it and have sence I first started using it. Tastes good on everything to me. I guess I'm lucky

karisma81

I hate the taste of stevia in my coffee but ok with it in yogurt. Maybe the difference is the temperature.

You can try gradually reducing the amount of real sugar you put in your coffee until you acquire a taste for coffee with little to no sugar. I'm down to 1 teaspoon of brown sugar or 0.5 tbsp creamer which is only about 15 calories.

The cheaper varieties/ brands have an aftertaste. The costlier brands don't. Only a very small percentage of the plant has no aftertaste. The more expensive brands only use the part of the plant that doesn't have an aftertaste. Not sure what the brand name is though. I bought it at Safeway, and the package explains the reason for the aftertaste.

It tasted GOOD, not funky like the other stuff. I believe that it was packaged in smaller packets like sugar packets. I don't use it anymore. I just use honey or pure maple syrup.

Stevia is a natural plant that grows in the wild, it's not a Frankin Food dreamed up in a lab. If I still had a craving for sugar I would still be using it.

McKayMachina

I like it. I just use it in small doses only. Truvia is pretty good. But a lot of people say it tastes soapy to them. I don't taste it. Apparently my palate isn't great? haha

brandiuntz

I use it and like it. One thing is to use less of it than you think you need. Too much is definitely bitter. I've slowly reduced my sweet tooth by cutting back on added sugar/stevia in my coffee, etc.

rileysowner

I like it and liked it the first time I tried it. I used the liquid type at first. The next batch I got I didn't like, but then after doing some research I discovered there are different types of stevia with varying levels of after taste. Most today are the type with little after taste, at least it seems that way to me as I doesn't seem to matter any more which brand I get.

It's not artificial.

And it is safe.

Table sugar is the evaporated solids of the sugar cane stalk.

Stevia is the evaporated solids of the stevia leaf.



Not fake.

Not really it may be the kind you are using

I love stevia with my Greek yogurt and a few other items. I can tolerate it in my coffee although I still prefer the taste of Splenda in my coffee instead. I love the fact that it is a natural sweetener though and generally use it before anything else at home especially since I was recently diagnosed with gestational diabetes and I have to watch my carbs.

Maybe Stevia in the Raw?
