Do You Have Favorite Liquid Stevia Flavors?

catkin · 05-18-2011, 08:05 PM

I need to get some but so far have only tried the vanilla creme and cinnamon. How do you use yours? Do you put any in your drinking water? I've only put it on strawberries, yogurt and in water--didn't like it in the water. Maybe a root beer or fruit flavor would be better in water.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks

I don't have a favorite since I have not tried them yet, but I have been thinking of ordering the chocolate raspberry one that Netrition sells. Sounds delish!

shelbyla · 05-18-2011, 08:21 PM

I have tons of them and here is what I think...

Vanilla creme - A: yummy in coffee, over berries or in some teas like Yogi Vanilla Hazelnut
Cinnamon - A: yummy in green tea and some herbal teas
Chocolate raspberry - A+: OMG my new favorite. Coffee, berries, club soda, yum!
Lemon - B-: meh. It's ok. Decent on berries or in flavored club soda. Not very flavorful.
Chocolate - C: weird flavor. Very "fake" tasting.
Rootbeer - B: decent in club soda. I expect rootbeer to be brown though so it may be just a color thing for me. Also needs a lot more to give a really good rootbeer flavor.
Hazelnut - A: great in coffee.
English toffee - A: great in coffee or over microwaved apples.
Peppermint - B+: Good in coffee, especially at Christmas time.

Plain - A: great in anything that you want a little sweetness like Asian dishes or over berries, in club soda with lemon, or over berries.

Thanks Ladies

I have Valencia Orange -- love it in iced tea or green tea. Lemon Drop -- meh -- too sweet, like a lemon lollipop, would have liked some tart lemon to balance. Grape -- my favorite in seltzer, since it makes grape soda! (a big childhood favorite, so you may or may not love it as much as I do). Vanilla Creme is nice over fruit, and people who like Creme Soda rave about it in seltzer (not my favorite, personally).

I like all of these in seltzer as a "soda", but also put the orange and lemon in tea.

Yes but watch out for weird ingredients like phosphates. I usually get "sparkling water" from La Croix or Arrowhead and use that. I don't drink it often and someone recently mentioned that they thought it wasn't allowed. I would say try it and see.

porkfatrules · 05-19-2011, 05:32 AM

I think P&I allows for mineral water or sparkling mineral water, so carbonation seems OK. I avoid Club Soda because of the sodium, but Seltzer is sodium-free so I think it's OK.

(I hope I'm right! trying to kick a wicked Diet Coke habit, and flavored seltzer is a big help)

ahealinglady · 05-19-2011, 05:48 AM

I love hazelnut stevia. I put it in coffee, some herb teas and even powdered greens to boost the flavor. The chocolate I was looking forward to but found it rather tasteless until I tried it in mint tea. Now that's like dessert without the calories LOL

KelliC · 05-19-2011, 07:40 AM

we mostly used vanilla creme and chocolate (my dd loved the choc-rasp but i didnt') I did use the lemon in water but I also put several lemon slices in too and it made a decent sub for lemonade (at least it was when I got really tired of water

) I used the valencia orange in my green tea

catkin · 05-19-2011, 08:43 PM

Got my list, thanks for sharing!

Okay - good thread. So I need to give other flavors a try, and maybe it's just the chocolate that's funky.

I really appreciate this feedback!
Flavored stevia is just a good idea - seems a shame to waste it.

NeekoM · 06-20-2011, 04:06 PM

I use the vanilla creme and the english toffee almost on a daily basis. Either one in my coffee and I LOVE the vanilla creme in my yogurt and berries. Valencia orange and sparkling water makes a decent orange soda too. Haven't really tried the others, except chocolate - blech!

Dreamchaser · 06-20-2011, 04:35 PM

I ended up getting the chocolate raspberry yesterday for my mineral water and I am in

with it!!!

Isn't it AWEOME? My absolute favorite so far. I was uncertain because of how yucky the plain chocolate is but glad I tried it!

catjrow3 · 06-21-2011, 07:29 AM

My fav is the vanilla creme in sparkling water, tastes just like a creme soda!!

shelbyla · 06-21-2011, 09:21 AM

I keep hearing good things about the orange. <sigh> Well, if I MUST buy another flavor of liquid stevia...

catjrow3 · 06-21-2011, 09:44 AM

I have the orange and love it in the sparkling water too!!

dbunny · 06-21-2011, 10:40 AM

I just got a sample pack with orange, lemon, chocolate raspberry, and vanilla cream~ how awesome it that? They are the tiny 6 ml bottles, perfect to try different flavors..

star a.d. · 06-21-2011, 11:38 AM

I agree with shelby's assessments! I also like the grape, though you need quite a bit, in club soda. the orange is good too.

Dottie · 06-24-2011, 07:41 AM

Bumping to ask about the flavors: Is there a caramel one or is the english toffee about as close as it gets?

I don't think there is a caramel (or I would undoubtedly have it!

) but the English Toffee is really good.

Dottie · 06-24-2011, 08:11 AM

Thanks

I have the toffee and it's really good in plain green tea

Huh. I wouldn't have put those two together but I drink a lot of green tea so I'll have to try it! Thanks! (Btw, the cinnamon is really good in green tea too, weirdly.)
