***GIVEAWAY CLOSED***
When I get around to drinking tea, I prefer a bit of sweetness. I also enjoy a little milk in it too. The milk addition came about when I was on a missions trip to Spain and we were enjoying dinner at a host's home. She served Earl Grey tea to us and it was sooo good with the sugar and milk in it, I continued that when I came back home. Ever since then, I was hooked! I don't usually use plain sugar though as I find that I need alot to get the sweetness to my liking. I know I know...it's probably better for me. But, I have a great sweetener alternative to introduce to you all today and you are sure to love it!
Truvia is a natural calorie-free sweetener that originates from rebiana, the best tasting part of the stevia leaf. This sweetener begins with a plant...which really means alot to me. Remember the huge Aspartame scare not too long ago? Well, when your sweetener comes from a plant, you don't have to worry about that nasty chemical.

Remember the huge Aspartame scare not too long ago? Well, when your sweetener comes from a plant, you don't have to worry about that nasty chemical.
Here is a bit more about Truvia...
Sweetness born from a leaf, not in a lab. Meet the stevia plant. The proud parent of our natural sweetener. People have been sweetening foods and beverages with stevia leaves for hundreds of years. The taste comes from a natural ingredient from the leaves called rebiana.
Rebiana is what gives Truvia™ natural sweetener its clean, honest sweet taste. Simple. Who knew going green could be so good?
I love how this sweetener originates from a plant...that's so great!! 
For this review, I was sent the spoonable Truvia as well as a 40 packet box of Truvia. I was anxious to try Truvia because I am a Splenda user and wanted to see the difference. The first thing I noticed was the difference in size of the granules. 
Truvia granuals are actually larger whereas Splenda is more of a powder. Also, I did notice that Truvia is a bit sweeter than Splenda. I am not yet sure which product I like better though...it will take a bit more sampling. :) 
Being that it is chilly (ha ha...more like freezing!) out tonight, I decided to have a nice cup of tea. So, I prepared my tea and instead of using my usual sweetener, I tried out the Truvia. It really tasted good in my tea and took very little to get the sweetness to my liking...which was nice.
On Truvia's website, they have a whole page of recipes that you can use this sweetener in and I am very excited to try some of those recipes out! When it comes to purchasing Truvia, you can search on their website as well for the nearest location that carries it. I like that feature!
So, in my opinion...Truvia is a very nice product! I love the convenience of the spoonable container so you can get the right amount. The packets are great as well for travel and needing a sweetener for on the go. I am impressed with the taste and quality of Truvia and am looking forward to trying some baking with it.
