NECTRESSE™ Natural No Calorie Sweetener (a review)

I want to start out saying I received this product for free from Influenster in their Sugar N'Spice Voxbox. These are my actual opinions of the product. If I hate the product I will say so if I like it I will say so if I think it's just meh I will say so.

Now according to Nectresse's website

"NECTRESSE™ Sweetener tastes like sugar and is naturally 
zero calories per serving. How? We started with the deliciously
sweet extract of monk fruit and combined it with the perfect
blend of other natural sweeteners. It's 100% natural with
nothing artificial. You're going to love the way it tastes".

Nectresse is a natural no calorie sweetener from the makers of Splenda. This sweetener comes from monk fruit and this box contains 40 packets. One packet is the equivalent of two teaspoons of sugar. 


Now on to my opinon.  Mainly I've used it in tea. The sweetness is very light and isn't overpowering or fake tasting. I definitely like that it comes from a natural source and isn't a manufactured fake sweetener.  I also used it to make a cake. I can honestly say I prefer real sugar in baked goods. So I probably won't make any other baked goods with it. I do like it in my tea. I like that it is in packet form and doesn't have that funky aftertaste that most "fake sugars" have. I will probably buy more when my free sample runs out to keep at the office for my afternoon teas. I vote yes for coffee and tea drinks but meh for baked goods.
