  • Do you want no sugar or no added sugar? The fact is when we eat fruit part of the taste is the sweet taste buds in our mouth getting stimulated.

    One way to go would be to replace the water with concentrated fruit juice and a bit of flavor extract, not the same either, maybe vanilla or orange. You then could add the stevia to taste.

    The other would be use the flavor extract or koolaid or whatever and then add the stevia to taste if you are avoiding all sugar. But then why not use jello mix where you add the sugar and replace it with the stevia? (some store brands are like that) Then the flavoring is all there for you.
  • tested with pie filling....

    & thought i would share

    i used the unflavored gelatin ( i pk) and the koolaid 1/3 pk) with the stevia plus powder (tblspn & 1/2 )in with 2 yogurt & 8 oz fat free whip cream...

    worked great!!!

    ( yogurt had splenda) Dooh!

  • i wanted to chime in with a suggestion to look into xylitol aka birch sugar as a sugar substitute.

    it has the same consistency(is that the word im looking for?) as sugar, so you use it the same way you would use sugar. measurements and all.

    xylitol comes from birch trees. and its good for your tooth enamel.

    however its very toxic to pets so keep it away from them.

    you can get it at health food stores in their vitamin and supplements departments usually.
