In my box I got a coupon for a Free 40ct Pack and 7 packs with Pure Via samples and  $1 off coupon inside each

       I was very excited when I was choosen for this campaign. I care about what I eat and drink and for long time try to reduce sugar from my daily use. So now, I drink tea without sugar and even coffee try to drink without, enjoying bitterness and the true taste of the coffee (sometimes, with a bit of something sweet). But I can do nothing with my husband that put 2,5 teaspoons in his coffee. Ok, his mug is big.. but 2.5 tsp /daily, sometimes twice a day is a crime for me.

      So when I saw that I will receive a Natural Sweetner I thought that this is my chance to switch him to a healthier option.

A pure extract of the naturally sweet stevia plant is the secret to Pure Via’s sweetness. 

    "Stevia - is a  small, green plant, native to Paraguay, stevia 's leaves have a nectar-like taste that can be 30 times sweeter than sugar, depending upon the quality of the leaf."

All natural, 0 Calories, Eco-friendly package  - all claims to be a very good product.. and I know it is.. The only question is if can replace the taste of sugar? - the sweetness? 

       First we tried it with coffee, because the biggest problem for me was my husband's super sweet coffee, so I added a pack that is like 2 tsp of sugar (sais on pack) - My husband didn't like it ..then I tried.. and.. I felt nothing, it wasn't as sweet as two teaspoons on sugar, it wasn't bitter like pure coffee, it didn't have any additional taste. So, for me, I would drink that coffee but my husband said it didn't work for him. BUT, I did not give up and tried to bake something and to try out how it will be in a Muffin recipe that all loves. 

So I baked my Coconut Muffins with Pure Via in stead of sugar

Here is the recipe for 12 Muffins 

                                                          - 8 packs of Pure Via

                                                          - 1 spoon of sugar *optional

                                                          - 4 eggs

                                                          - 200 gr. melted butter

                                                          - 4 spoons of yogurt / butter milk

                                                          - 1 tsp of baking powder 

                                                          - 250 gr flour

                                                          - 200 gr coconut 

Just mix all the ingredients, put in forms and bake for about 20-30 min at 355F

After my husband tried the muffins and said that they are Delicious, I told him that I used Pure Via instead of sugar and he was surprised.

Bon appetite!

I think it is a great product for people who want to have a healthy option to their sweet drinks or meals, for keeping your weight and for people with diabet(is a must)!
