Stevia

[roxy28]

Hi Cathe,

I can't wait to do your new work outs. I just added ME and Cardio and wgts I really enjoy them.

I have a question about Stevia I saw you had made a suggestion about it a while back. I can not find it though. Does it matter what brand? I would be using it for coffee, tea and possibley shakes. I tried to locate it through my local stores but have not found it. I purchased some on line but just wondering about flavor and brand.

Thanks.

I'm not Cathe, but I find Stevia at a health food store on the supplements aisle.

If you go to Trader Joe's or Whole Foods, Stevia is NOT in the sugar isle. It's in the supplement isle. I have not been able to find it at any regular grocery store--only health food stores (i.e. TJ's and Whole Foods).

I get my stevia from King Soopers. In their baking aisle they have a tiny natural/organic baking section with Red Mill stuff, agave nectar, stevia, etc. That's where I got mine from.

Hi Roxy28! Do you have a Wegmans by you? I got mine there. The "less bitter" version in the form of a powder.

Good Luck!

All our regular supermarkets that have a health food section carry it here... Kroger, Randalls, Albertons if you have those in your area- I like the powder as well.

Stevia really upsets my stomach. If you have not used it before, you might want to buy a smaller amount the first time.

Thanks for all the replies. I didn't know it was a kind of bitter, or that it can upset stomach. Thats why you guys are here. Thanks!

Hi, I like SweetLeaf Stevia Plus. It has some added fiber. And this brand is not bitter at all.
Remember Stevia is sweeter than regular sugar, so you don't need a lot of it.
