I dislike the taste of Stevia. Does the Rebaudioside A give this a Stevia flavor? Can anyone compare to GS Oats/Whey (no Stevia, higher sugar count)?

I can taste the stevia in it. I don't like the taste, either. I'm drinking it right now. I added PB2 to try and hide the stevia flavor, but it isn't working! Stevia may be all natural, but as far as I'm concerned it tastes just as nasty as artificial sweeteners!

I cannot compare to GS Oats/Whey, as I have never tried that product; however, I can tell you that, at least in my opinion, the Natural Vanilla does not have a detectable stevia taste. I don't necessarily dislike the flavor of stevia, but I cannot use Truvia in my coffee because of the taste, and I can taste its presence in vitaminwater zero, just to give you a frame of reference. Hope that helps a little!

Hi everyone, This is Jeff from Integrated Sports Nutrition. We formulated and produce Red Leaf Pre-Workout Energizer. The supplement facts panels for dietary supplements are a little different than for regular food products. Sorry for any confusion. There is 0 grams sugar and 0 carbs. To be super precise, there is a trace amount of carbs from the natural lime flavoring, but it rounds down to 0 (per FDA labeling guidelines). The sweetness comes from the combo of natural flavoring and the sweetener - which is sucralose. Sucralose is the same thing as Splenda (the yellow packets you see at Starbucks). But we use very little of that, less than the equivalent of 1/5 a pack of Splenda. It's the combo of these various ingredients that makes the product taste sweet - even though it has 0 sugar. It was a painstaking flavoring process that took over 1 year to get right. It's because anything with any green tea or caffeine in it is nasty. So covering that up without using a ton of flavoring and sweetener is a bear. But we did it, using a very minimal amount of flavoring and sucralose. Hope you like it. Feel free to email me at jeff@isnlabs.com with any questions at all. Best regards, Jeff ISN

I purchased a bottle in December of 2013. The label reads "Stevia extract - Stevia rebaudiana (leaf) supplying steviosides" and "Other ingredients: None." It's the best tasting product out of the 12 brands that I recently tried.

I haven't tried the Natural. However, the vanilla is quite good, very mild taste. I don't notice a stevia taste and as your aware, stevia is not a sugar. You may need to just try them both. I doubt either will offend your taste so much that you'll not be able to consume it. Sorry to not be more helpful.

No. Actually I have found out that it also has maltodextrin and silica in it, too. I think I will look for another brand that is pure stevia. I'm glad you asked.

You can view the label on linef.....supposed to be all natural....the only thing that I didnt like was the stevia. Although it is supposed to be in a natural form, I dont tolerate artificial sweeteners and it made me sick.

It's my favorite brand of Stevia, not coincidentally the healthiest (both stevia & inulin from chicory root are actually good for us). But Stevia is a hundred times sweeter than sugar, so "less is more" w/ stevia--use very little or it becomes bitter :) I also use it w/ maple syrup or coconut sugar to use less of those more costly & higher glycemic sweeteners.

The consistency is similar to a very fine tile grout. It doesn't clump in a shaker or blender. Actually, the texture was nice but I'm not a diet soda drinker, etc. so I couldn't get past the after taste. And, yes, you can smell the stevia. I didn't want to waste what I bought so I mixed with milk and berries and it seemed to cut down the sweetness. Hope this helps.

This is a good question. Sugar has a glue like quality in baking. I have used it in bakin and it kind of worked, but didn't get the same texture. Regarding the taste: if you like the stevia flavor, you will like it cooked. If you don't, you will not. I use stevia for cranbery sauce and love it for example. If this is your first time working with stevia, try the flavor in a coffe first. I hope this helps. Oh, but this is the sweetest stevis out there. Very good quality. You will only need a tiny bit.

I use the Zero Erythritol packets in my coffee almost daily. It tastes more like sugar than Stevia. Sometimes I combine and other times I alternate between the Zero and stevia. I like both.

I don't think so, but taste is such a personal thing. I've read where some people feel there is an aftertaste but they get used to it. I really like it for certain recipes and I tend to only use it for those recipes since it is more expensive. I use my erythritol, xylitol and stevia most often.

Only stevia, and way too sweet for me with an aftertaste. If you prefer to adjust the sweetness yourself, best go with the unflavored and mix it with something else.

Hello, the "natural flavor" found on our label is actually a mistake from our label designer. We DO NOT have any natural flavors in our stevia liquid. The ingredients should read "Water, stevia, Vit. C, potassium Sorbate (freshness)". We apologize for this isprint and are revising our labels to reflect this. Unfortunately, it takes a while for this process. Thank you for your question and let us know if we can answer anything else. Thanks, Diana-Stevia Select

I buy this product because it is pure stevia. Read the label. Under other ingredients it says " none". Love it.

My personal opinion.....I like Dandy blend better. There's a certain after taste with Teechino for me. I have tried may flavors. I am just not a fan :-/ Dandy blend is smoother and even a little frothy. much better, especially with Stevia

In a hour as I am not home right now so stay tun. I will tell you this however, it is sugarless. As you know it is sweetened with stevia and by far stevia is the best sugarless sweetener I have ever tasted!

Not sure, i ony buy the KAL brand. Ive not found any of the other brands of stevia to be of the right taste for me and especially my kids.
