Hi there!

I am kind of obsessed with Splenda. I put it in my coffee, smoothies, oatmeal, pretty much everything. I've heard that Splenda isn't great in terms of sugar substitutes and being "good" for me.

What other sugar substitutes should I look into? Thanks for any help! I'm new here. :)

    I try to use Stevia in my coffee and honey in most everything else that I need to sweeten.

    Thank you!

    I've also heard of Agave nectar or something like that? Is that healthy?

    Agave nectar is a great one! You don't need much because it's pretty sweet naturally. I'm a Splenda freak too... gotta try new things!

    I like Stevia (Truvia), honey and agave.

    Stevia! I have a jar for home use and have packets by 'Now' brand that I carry w me in a zip-type snack bag.
    It is from an herb and not a man-made chemical.
