With warm-weathered months on mind, Truvia sweetener has launched the “Turning the Town Truvia” campaign in Dallas, Denver and Miami to promote natural, reduced-calorie sweetness.
Through the month of May, consumers can nominate a food service establishment via the Truvia page on Facebook and be entered for a chance to win a $5,000 grand prize. As result, Truvia sweetener may end up on the tabletop of their nominated bars, cafés or restaurants. A $50 Gift Card will also be given to one winner each week
About Truvia
Truvia sweetener is a natural, zero-calorie sweetener made from the best tasting part of the stevia plant. Packets are available in 40-ct, 80-ct, and 120-ct boxes, and the Truvia spoonable jar makes it easy to spoon and sprinkle just the right amount into coffee, oatmeal, yogurt or more. The new Truvia Baking Blend, a blend of Truvia sweetener and sugar, is specially formulated for at-home baking and offers 75% fewer calories per serving than sugar.
I love Truvia in my coffee and I buy it all the time. To me it doesn’t have an aftertaste and is just sweet enough for my coffee. I love a little bit of sweetener in my coffee and since I’ve been using Truvia (or something like it) I don’t like regular sugar in my coffee anymore.
I hadn’t baked with Truvia before so I was excited to now that I have some of the baking blend on hand. It says it bakes and browns jut like regular sugar and you only need a 1/2 cup of Truvia for every 1 cup of sugar. I used it in place of sugar the last time I made chocolate chip cookies and no one knew there was anything different! I’ve also used it in a few bread recipes and again, no one noticed a difference. So I’ll keep this in my cupboard for sure and later this year when I make all my holiday cookies, I’ll be using this instead.
Have you tried Truvia Baking Blend yet? If so what did you think? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I use Truvia for baking as well as day to day use for coffee and tea. Very surprised at the results of my baking, that there is no noticeable difference not using sugar. I have given up using sugar as Truvia is my sweetner of choice
I would love to try this! My mother in law has been using Xylosweet and it tastes great in baked goods =)
