This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of NECTRESSE™Sweetener for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
I have recently recieved a free sample of NECTRESSE, a new no-calorie sweetener from the makers of Splenda, and I've got to say, I'm impressed. It's the only 100% natural sweetener made from fruit; monk fruit, to be exact. I love that it's textured a lot like cane sugar, YET it still blends easily. I would have to say it's one of the best, if not THE best, no-calorie sweeteners available.
Another thing I like from NECTRESSE™Sweetener is that it has a better after-taste than most other sweeteners. Sugar has a slightly sour after-taste, but NECTRESSE doesn't, and that should be noted. There really is nothing more to say, other than try it!
Here is another is a video testimonial of Lisa Ling, a world famous journalist. She endorses NECTRESSE enthusiastically because, and I quote:
“From the moment I tried NECTRESSE™ No Calorie sweetener, I loved it. Not only is it all-natural and calorie free, it was incredibly delicious! Made with deliciously sweet monk fruit extract, NECTRESSE™ Sweetener tastes like sugar and satisfies my sweet tooth in a way that fits my healthy lifestyle and is yummy too. In fact, I love it so much that I bring it with me everywhere I go. If you were to look inside my carry-on, you would find packets of NECTRESSE™ Sweetener!” - Lisa Ling
I served a healthy snack for my 4 year old son yesterday. Oatmeal mango pudding is one of his favorite snack. I make my recipe as simple as possible for his picky taste. We all know the health benefit oatmeal can give us but only few of us loves to eat this including me. So I tried many recipes to come up with healthy yet delicious and easy to prepare snack and breakfast for my family.
Oatmeal Mango Pudding
- 1/4 cup quick cooking oats
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup heavy cream for added flavor (optional)
- 2 - 3 single-serve packets of Nectresse Natural no calorie sweetener. Remember that it is 150 times sweeter than sugar so just add one sachet at a time according to your taste and you don't need to use that much. I used NectresseNECTRESSE™Sweetener for a natural sweet taste without all the calories of sugar. It was the perfect substitute for sugar and I loved that.
- diced ripe mango
- Put the oatmeal and water in a bowl, mix well.
- Microwave for a minute or two, depending on how you like your oatmeal done.
- Remove from the microwave, add Nectresse and heavy cream. Stir well.
- Top with diced mango.
- Serve warm.

ReplyDeletehealthy alternative to the usual table sugar we have.. :)
ReplyDeleteIs this available in the Philippine market? I hope it is because I'm really in search of a low-calorie sweetener. Most of the time, I don't put sugar in my drink to avoid excess calories.
ReplyDeleteWow that is yummy and the recipe is just helpful...
ReplyDeleteHaven't used this nectresse but we use Splenda sweetener as well as regular sugar :-)
ReplyDeletelooks like the one i have been using, i use sweet pal, it's more affordable.
ReplyDeleteTruly said, sweetener plays an important role as a substitute for normal sugar. Many times where sugar is not available this sweetener can be used in food products which helps to control the blood sugar levels.
