The latest in sweetners...TRUVIA

I discovered this great sweetener the other day. It is made from Stevia! Yay for that! It is processed so it is not Stevia in it's own true natural form...which makes it taste better. I think as far as non-calorie sweeteners go this one is at the top of my list! Splenda is sooooo NOT good for the body. I can live with Truvia...it doesn't have the bitter taste that powdered and liquid stevia tend to have. I still use the liquid real form of stevia in my yogurt concoctions ...it is prefect for that. I like carbonated water with real lemon juice and a few drops of stevia too! Very yummy as a treat. Truvia tastes excellent on oatmeal too. There is a new soda out now that is made with Stevia as well. It is called Zevia and comes in orange or cola. I will not be switching to that from the "DP" because why waste the money...but it does taste good. It is not just the sweetener that is bad in soda anyhow.

I have decided to turn a new corner and stop "replacing" my addictions with other addictions...like sugar for Diet soda..and so forth. It is time to begin living, really living life! Basic food and water are good for me...and ya know the best part...I AM HAPPY WITH IT!

SATISFIED!

I have heard that alcoholics are just people thirsting for spirituality, but getting addicted to substance instead. I guess that's what all our addictions and yearnings are for--for eternal truth. We just go to things that will never satisfy. Only our yearning for love can be satisfied through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
