NECTRESSE Review

NECTRESSE Review

Strawberry and Banana Shake

Ingredients

1/2 banana (I prefer frozen)
3 strawberries (fresh or frozen)
1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt
2 packets ( 1/2 teaspoon if using canister) of Nectresse
1/3 cup of ice

Directions

Just place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth

I received a complimentary canister of Nectresse in my Sugar 'N Spice Voxbox via Influenster. Nectresse is made from the makers of Splenda. It is 100% natural and is made from sweet extract monk fruit  and is combined with other natural sweeteners  It tastes like real sugar and has zero calories. It can be used in coffee, hot tea, sweet tea, smoothies, cereal, oatmeal, fruit, or just about anything that you want to sweeten. 

I have mixed reviews about this product. First of all I discovered that I don't like it in my iced tea. The product claims to dissolve quickly but I found otherwise. After about 10 minutes of on and off stirring, I finally gave up and poured it out. However, I absolutely love it my smoothies, shakes, cookies, cereal, oatmeal, and fruit. It tastes just like sugar and requires less because 1/4 of a teaspoon of Nectresse is equal to 1 teaspoon of real sugar. I also liked that there isn't an aftertaste like some sweeteners on the market.

Overall, I would recommend Nectresse for sweetening foods but not necessarily for drinks such as tea. I love that it is 100% all natural which is really important when trying to live a healthy lifestyle.
