How is the taste compared to Swerve? How is the taste compared to Splenda?

I never tried Swerve or Splenda. The only other non-sugar sweetener I've used is Stevia, which is fine, but can be bitter if you use too much. This measures like sugar.

I haven't tried Swerve yet, but I prefer erythritol to Splenda, because it's a subtler sweetness with no artificial aftertaste. I've made cheesecake, sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chip cookies and magic cookie bars using erythritol and no one has been able to guess that they were not made with sugar.

I'm sorry, I don't use those products. It is 70% sweet as sugar, with the same taste as sugar, I hope that helps.

Erythritol is MUCH MUCH better than splenda, and MUCH healthier. Really no comparison. Erythritol has no after taste, just pure sweetness (a bit less sweet than sugar), andit's actually beneficial to health. No idea what Swerve is???

I've never heard of Swerve, so I can't say. But I have used Splenda. Erythritol is only about half as sweet as Splenda is. I've come to realize Erythritol is a sweetener best not used alone. The easiest (and cheapest) way to try it is to buy you some Truvia sweetener at the grocery store. It has both Erythritol and Stevia in it and the two together make a good sweetness.

I have not tried Swerve. I didn't care for this product - went back to using Stevita. Only need a tiny bit and it is similar to Splenda.

Yep, they use Splenda. I use them in latte and mocha concoctions and don't have any issues with after taste.

I do believe it is with Splenda . They are great... Splenda taste better than other sweeteners.

You are more aware than me! As far as I know there is none. I love this sweetener knowing it's natural and secondly it doesn't leave the after taste that some do. Just know that it isn't a cup for a cup. It's much more economical and takes a lot less. I found that about half is equal to a cup of sugar but that's preferential taste.

Swerve tastes better. The stevia in Truvia gives it a slightly metallic taste. Swerve doesn't have this. In many applications, it really is impossible to tell that it's not sugar.

Hi jellybean girl, You may have to check with the Swerve people. I use the granular but I do have a few recipes that call for the confection. So far, everything I've made has been a great success. Hope you enjoy this product!!

From a purely subjective point of view (and a sample size of just 1), the Wedderspoon Gold had a more balanced/smoother taste to it. The medicinal taste common to the Manuka honeys (of all brands) seemed to be a bit muted in this version. I don't particularly mind the medicinal taste, so I'm on the fence on how much that is worth. That said, others in my house hate that medicinal taste and appreciate the softer tasting Gold version. Hard to say if the 1 jar my answer is based on is representative of all the Gold batches though. My 2 cents, if you want quality Manuka honey with a softer taste... it is worth it. If not, save your money and purchase one of the other raw Manuka offerings.

I just made strawberry using Stevia. I almost didn't need any sweetener, but, yes it works just fine. I also made apple cider jelly with Splenda that also works fine. The nice thing about the instant pectin is that you can always add more the next day to get the consistency you want, without having to boil like with the regular or low/no sugar method.

I want to know this, too. I've been buying pure stevia powder from Vitamin Shoppe so I'm wondering if there will be a difference from what I'm used to. How can this stuff seem so much sweeter?

I believe it is Splenda... I don't find it really sweet enough, so I will sometimes add a Tbspn of sugar-free vanilla syrup!

I love s'mores. The tiny marshmallows get stuck in the sieve in my shaker and don't taste too great on their own, but GREAT chocolatey flavor. Have not yet tried banana creme, so I can't compare the two. Will edit.

Sucralose otherwise known as Splenda. I react to fake sugars yet I am able to drink this! NO Aspartame! I can't consume Aspartame. Aspartame gives me a headache. I think the percent of Sucralose in this drink is ver y low and that is why I tolerate it well. My suggestion is try it!

I cannot compare to GS Oats/Whey, as I have never tried that product; however, I can tell you that, at least in my opinion, the Natural Vanilla does not have a detectable stevia taste. I don't necessarily dislike the flavor of stevia, but I cannot use Truvia in my coffee because of the taste, and I can taste its presence in vitaminwater zero, just to give you a frame of reference. Hope that helps a little!

I got.the chocolate I think the vanilla would be better. I woud try the Plain maybe better looks like it doesn't have stevia. Normally i might put a banana in or dates but it taste bad with the stevia.

It is sweet, i expect with Splenda, but not overly sweet. I used it in my protein shakes to make a spiced flavor.

Yes, Sweetened with SPLENDA Brand Sweetener, our Sugar Free Flavored Syrups have the same world-class flavor as our Classic Syrups, but without the calories. SPLENDA is the only zero-calorie sweetener made from real sugar and as a result, it tastes more like real sugar.
