I make my own hot chocolate, using natural sweetener and cocoa powder. I avoid anything artificial, such as Splenda and Sweet and Low. It’s difficult when I want something sweet, and can’t use those things. However, I use Truvia these days.

Water. Sunshine. Nutrients from the earth. That’s what goes into the stevia plant. Then nature works her magic and creates a wonderfully sweet taste.

Next, we steep the leaves, much like making tea, that begins the process of capturing rebiana, the best tasting part of the stevia plant. Ultimately, this little leaf gives back a recipe for sweetness that’s both delicious and zero-calorie guilt free.

I’ve tried Stevia in the past, but it doesn’t dissolve very well. It also has a bit of an icky taste to some people. So – I tried Truvia! It works very well, and has a great taste. I bought this for myself, and had to tell you all about it.

I know many of you out there drink soda and/or energy drinks. I’m not passing judgement! I’m just telling you to have those things in moderation. They just aren’t good for you! Drink the smaller cans, or cut back on how much of it you drink. Why not cut back, and then drink water also!? Better yet – why not make some hot chocolate made with Truvia!?
