The sweetener itself looks like sugar, pours like sugar, and, most importantly, doesn’t make me question my life choices.Taste Test:I started small-coffee. One spoonful and I was convinced I’d accidentally grabbed real sugar. No weird aftertaste, no “wait, is that… licorice?” moment. Encouraged, I went full mad scientist: banana bread, brownies, and even a batch of “I-swear-they’re-healthy” muffins. Every time, the results were so convincing, my family staged an intervention for my “sugar addiction.” Joke’s on them-it’s monk fruit!Health Perks:Zero calories. My bathroom scale is finally less judgy.No blood sugar spikes. My pancreas sent a thank-you card.Keto-friendly, gluten-free, and apparently safe for pets (though my cat still prefers tuna).The Fine Print:Yes, it contains erythritol. If you’re sensitive, maybe don’t eat an entire tray of cookies in one sitting (ask me how I know). But for most, it’s smooth sailing.Final Verdict:If you’re looking to cut sugar without cutting joy, this is the sweetener for you. It’s so good, I’m convinced the monks who invented this were actual wizards. Highly recommended for bakers, coffee lovers, and anyone who wants to have their cake and eat it too-without the sugar crash.

I do not like most sweetners that are not cane sugar. However, I love this Monk fruit natural sweetener. I changed my diet to Paleo to eat cleaner and that included doing away with cane sugar.This product is perfect!

Without the extra calories and without the poor gut health and inflammation from processed and refined cane sugar. What's not to like!
