NuNaturals Stevia Products Review and Giveaway (Four Winners!)

UPDATE:  This giveaway is now closed. Winners have been announced in a separate post and will be notified via email.

Full disclosure:  NuNaturals provided the products for this review and the giveaway. However, this post is not a paid post and the opinions expressed are strictly my own.

gluten free, dairy free, grain free, refined sugar free, the spunky coconut

I was slow to hop on the stevia train … even for a short ride. I had purchased one bottle of liquid stevia years ago and I would try it from time to time in my tea, but I wasn’t pleased with it. But then a while back, I won a NuNaturals giveaway over at Ricki’s (Diet, Dessert and Dogs). I was very pleased to discover that I really liked the products that I had won. To me, there was no funky aftertaste or bitterness from any of the NuNatural stevia products (liquid or powdered) I tried and I liked having a few packets of their powdered stevia in my purse for that cup of tea out with the girls. More recently, the great folks at NuNaturals gave me an opportunity to try a few of the other products they offer as well—cinnamon sticks, ground cinnamon, vanilla beans, and pure vanilla extract … just to name a few. They were all outstanding! And, of course, more stevia—yippee! I’m not sure I’m on the stevia express yet, as you will still definitely see other sweeteners used in recipes here on gfe, but I like using stevia both as an alternative sweetener, and as a supplemental sweetener in addition to an unrefined sugar like honey or palm sugar when I want to use less sweetener overall.

Here are a few recipes in which I use stevia. Below my recipes are a bunch of other stevia-sweetened recipes from some of my favorite blogger friends. A big part of enjoying stevia in recipes is knowing how to use it—when it will work in a recipe, when it will not, how much to use … too much, too little. You can try some of these recipes to sample stevia-sweetened goodness!

gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free, pomegranate, POM, sherbet gfe Lemon-Lime Coconut Basil Ice

gfe Pomegranate Sherbet 

Super Juice here on gfe (courtesy of Dr. Christine Doherty)

Ali’s (Whole Life Nutrition Kitchen) Stevia-Sweetened Sugar Cookies (perfect for any holiday celebration or every day treat)

Alisa’s (Go Dairy Free and Alisa Cooks) Cinnamon-Fig Cashew Butter, Mocha Fudge Energy Bites, and Healthy Spicy Mylkshake (I had to share three of Alisa’s recipes; I couldn’t choose one over the other!)

AndreAnna’s (Life As A Plate) Grain-Free Cranberry Almond Cookies (perfect as the paleo/primal or gluten-free sweet treat)

Iris’s (The Daily Dietribe) Mini Red, White, and Blueberry Pies (adorable and delicious—always my favorite combination!) 

Kelly’s (The Spunky Coconut) Vanilla Bean Cake (Kelly’s Vanilla Bean Cake is now famous and deservedly so. I made this amazing cake when I did a review of her second book, The Spunky Coconut: Grain-Free Baked Goods and Desserts. That’s my version at the top of this post.)

Ricki’s (Diet, Dessert and Dogs) Marry Me Brownies, Caramel Ice Cream, Chocolate Whoopie Pies , and Lemon Blueberry Muffins (I know … I’m so mean to give you all of those heavenly recipes to choose from!)

If you reside in the continental U.S. and have never tried NuNaturals before, but would like to try the NuNaturals stevia packets in a “non-committal” way (i.e, free!), NuNaturals will send you a sample—again, it’s free! Just send a self addressed, stamped, #10 envelope (that’s the standard large envelope) to:

Plus if your order totals $35 after the discount is applied, you will also receive free shipping. This offer will remain valid until June 30, 2012. 

Now for the best part … courtesy of NuNaturals, I am hosting a giveaway that includes one bottle of Pure Liquid Alcohol-Free Stevia, one bottle of Pure Liquid Alcohol-Free Vanilla Stevia, and one box of 50 NuNaturals Stevia Packets. Each prize is a $36.00 retail value. There will be four winners! All readers are eligible for this giveaway.

  9. Alisa on February 23rd, 2012 6:24 pm

    Aw shucks, you included all three recipes? I guarantee that you would love them ALL Shirley :)

    I really like NuStevia; good range of products and reliable. I’m using a dissolve tab in my tea right now (yes, I’m sweetening my tea a little – it’s lemon ginger and not the best lemon ginger I’ve tried, it needs help :)

    Recently learned of stevia in a Nutrition class would love to try it out

  14. S Amick on February 23rd, 2012 6:45 pm

    Oh yummy! I am having a hard time picking just one or two recipes listed above. Maybe because they all look so good. Ok ok, I will pick Kelly’s Vanilla Bean cake, and Alisa’s Mocha Fudge Energy Bites.

    I have not tried NuNaturals yet as I am still trying to stock my GF kitchen. Bless us, in time we will have pantry items stocked for those days when Hubs wants something a little sweet.

  15. AmandaonMaui on February 23rd, 2012 6:51 pm

    I keep reading about NuNatural’s products, and I really wish they were sold in the stores here so that I could get my hands on them more easily. I’ve been interested in trying stevia again. The first time I tried it years ago it was overly sweet and left a weird aftertaste. I’d like to give it another shot, and I’d like to see if I can sneak it past my boyfriend in some of our treats.

  16. Jennifer P on February 23rd, 2012 6:51 pm

    I use NuNaturals stevia packets in my vegan pumpkin pie – yum :)

    I’ve really been trying to find alternatives to refined sugar. I feel sooooo much better without it! I’ve tried regular stevia, but have been disappointed with the results. Can’t wait to try the NuNaturals brand.

    I know this is off-topic; however, we found your cheese crust pizza on Pinterest and tried it tonight. My 8 yr old daughter was diagnosed with Celiac in my of last yr. She has missed pizza more than anything. FINALLY something that truly satisfies her (and us)!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I was near tears when she rated it an 11 on a scale of 1-10.

    27
    • Shirley on February 23rd, 2012 8:48 pm

      Hi Nantucketdaffodil–That news is so, so awesome!! Thank you so much for taking the time to share it! I am thrilled for your daughter, you, and your whole family. I believe it’s important to eat gluten free together so finding recipes that work for all is critical. I may cut and paste your comment on the post itself, too, because I want many more folks to know about this recipe. So many are skeptical that a flourless pizza could possibly work and don’t believe it could possibly be good, so please spread the word, and give your daughter a big hug for me, too! :-)

  29. Kelly Smith on February 23rd, 2012 9:09 pm

    I love NuNaturals Stevia – it is my favorite! I need to try Spunky Coconut’s Vanilla Bean Cake; I have not been brave enough to do that yet.

    29
    • Kathy on February 25th, 2012 12:53 am

      Be brave! I got this cake past my VERY judgmental husband and he really did not believe it was made with beans and Stevia. Had I not told him, he would never have known! You will be glad you tried this recipe.

  30. Kelly Smith on February 23rd, 2012 9:11 pm

    I also liked the NuNaturals page on FB and shared your giveaway, Shirley! (But I confess…I would love to win my favorite stevia!) Thanks for sharing the stevia recipes.

  31. Leann on February 23rd, 2012 10:14 pm

    I use stevia for my coffee every day. I’ve not tried NuNaturals and would love to try it. I am very interested in the recipes that use stevia. Thank you for posting them.

  32. Jacqui on February 23rd, 2012 10:29 pm

    I have not used the NuNaturals brand of stevia.. but would love to! I love stevia in a chocolate chia pudding!

  33. Ali on February 23rd, 2012 10:33 pm

    I love this brand, but can’t really afford to get it as much as I would like, so I try to use it sparingly! I would love to win this!

  38. tanyaci on February 23rd, 2012 10:58 pm

    I have yet to try stevia at all, and the vanilla definitely has me curious.

  39. Kathy on February 23rd, 2012 11:10 pm

    I love NuNaturals. I heard about it over at Amy Green’s blog. I figured if she loved it, I would too. It does not have a bitter aftertaste at all (just as you said Shirley). I use it to sweet my mocha latte (made at home)and sweeten my morning greek yogurt! Thanks for the opportunity Shirley!

    39
  40. lindsey on February 23rd, 2012 11:19 pm

    I started my sugar free journey only a few months ago and have been trying to avoid artificial sweeteners as much as possible. I learned of stevia and have been trying to use it, first in my coffee and now in my baking recipes. I have tried several brands, but I’m struggling to find one that leaves no bitter aftertaste. I would absolutely LOVE to give NuNaturals a try. Thanks for the chance to win!

    42
  43. rachel on February 24th, 2012 3:41 am

    I’ve only heard good things about nunaturals so that is why I want to try them!

  44. Ina Gawne on February 24th, 2012 9:02 am

    Shirley – that cake looks mouth watering delicious! I have never tried Stevia before. I have seen it in the stores – very expensive! Recently, I have been trying coconut sugar – it too is lovely!

    44
  45. Ellen (Gluten Free Diva) on February 24th, 2012 10:06 am

    I was slow to hop on the stevia train too. But after some experimenting, I found it great for gluten free baking, especially when I combine it with Coconut Sugar. I’m not a fan of the taste of it in particular on its’ own, but I love its’ nutritional status and now use it on a regular basis in my baking.

    45
  46. Jessica on February 24th, 2012 10:42 am

    I’ve tried some of Kelly’s other recipes with coconut flour and stevia, so I’m thinking the vanilla bean cake recipe is a must try! Beans!!! Who knew?!?!

    46
  47. Niv on February 24th, 2012 10:43 am

    I have tried the regular stevia and just like you said I am not too fond of the after taste. I would definitely like to try NuNaturals, it’ll be good to have one. Thanks for the giveaway.

    I have never used Stevia, but I keep meaning to try it. I always put it in my cart and the store, then put it back on the shelf. The price point tends to make me second guess the purchase. I need to get over it :)
    I wanna try it because so many wonderful food bloggers that I really respect, use it and swear by it. OK that’s it, if I don’t win this, I will go buy it! Thanks.

  70. Leese on February 24th, 2012 1:57 pm

    I am a member of a group on yahoo that uses a modified atkins diet to control seizures. A lot of members trade recipes, and it never fails, they want a drop of vanilla stevia, two drops of regular stevia, and another drop of a different flavor.

    I really want to try these recipes to find something edible for the seizure control, but I cannot afford all these bottles of liquid stevia.

    I would dance and sing if I could be one of your winners! ((starting to tap my foot already))

    p.s. If anyone wants to find out more about seizure control and the modified atkins, please let me know here. (Modifier: is there any way to link this message to my email so I can get anything that people reply to mine?)

  71. Liz H. on February 24th, 2012 2:24 pm

    Ooh! I have not tried NuNaturals but have tried other brands of powdered stevia. I really like the idea of a liquid. I think the vanilla would be great as a e in hot cocoa! Wow! Now I really want some!!

    71
  72. Kelly Holderby on February 24th, 2012 2:25 pm

    I have used the alcohol free drops and the vanilla before. Both were great.

    I use Stevia everyday, but not this brand. I would like to try it! The sherbet looks awesome!

  74. Desi@ThePalatePeacemaker on February 24th, 2012 2:29 pm

    I use NuNaturals alcohol-free vanilla stevia EVERY SINGLE DAY. I love it so, so, so much. It has been my sweetener of choice for the past year since I’ve been on the ACD. A Godsend! :) Thanks for this giveaway, Shirley!!

  75. Susan on February 24th, 2012 2:36 pm

    I’ve tried almost every brand of stevia out there – I was so excited when I first heard about stevia as an alternative to those chemical sweeteners that are so dangerous. SO…i jumped on the bandwagon and then off very quickly as most left a chemically, strange aftertaste in my mouth.

    THEN I tried NuNaturals. Made all the difference in the world. I LOVE it. No weird after taste, no chemically taste, no bitterness, and it lasts forever. It’s totally worth investing in it. I got mine from iherb.com. I think Kelly at the Spunky Coconut or Amy at Simply Sugar and Gluten Free offer some sort of discount code for first time users.

    Sweet Leaf is a runner up, but not nearly as good as NuNaturals.

    75
    • Shirley on February 24th, 2012 4:35 pm

      Susan–I totally agree with you on chemical sweeteners and NuNaturals! FYI: Many of us bloggers are iHerb affiliates. If anyone wants to order from iHerb, I hope they will consider supporting their favorite blogger by using that blogger’s code via their badge on their website. It’s an easy way to send some love back to the folks whose blogs you read. My badge is currently not up due to a new page that is being added, but my iHerb code for $5 off for new customers is LUT179.

      Thanks!

    77
  78. Maria on February 24th, 2012 2:59 pm

    I have not used stevia. As a matter of fact, I was at the health food store and was about to purchase it only to be told by the cashier that she did not like the “bitter” taste. After that I was sold NOT to buy it. I would love to try this brand and actually try baking with it too!

    78
  79. Tabitha James on February 24th, 2012 3:03 pm

    I tried Stevia once for some GF employers I was working for as a personal chef. It left me a little dry in the mouth although the actual stevia leaves from the garden were nice with tea. Now that I find myself in the GF lifestyle I would love to try NuNaturals to see if I could fit them into products to help make things a bit lower in sugar.

    79
  80. Brandae on February 24th, 2012 3:06 pm

    Hi Shirley! Thanks for your sweet email and checking in on my pregnancy – I probably have another week or so before the baby arrives. We’re very excited.
    I love my NuNaturals vanilla drops but haven’t tried their other products. I’d like to bake with the stevia powder. Thanks for the giveaway!

    80
  81. moriah on February 24th, 2012 3:48 pm

    I would love to try the powders as I’ve only used the liquids, which are amazing! Thx 4 the giveaways =)

  82. Amanda Hopper on February 24th, 2012 3:56 pm

    I haven’t used Stevia very much. I do have a bottle of liquid Stevia but it’s not NuNaturals, it’s some other brand. I have been curious about the vanilla stevia so that would be fun to win!

    Hi Shirley,
    I’ve used the powder for ages, but never drifted over to the land of stevia drops. So I am curious!

    Hi Shirley! I was just in Wegman’s a few hours ago looking at the liquid stevia. I have never tried it and was considering it. I couldn’t bring myself to pay $9.99 for a small botle of the liquid stevia so I opted for some good old honey instead. Hugs,

    I would love to win this giveaway! Stevia is expensive, and until recent years, it has had a heavy aftertaste. New methods and formulations have completely changed the product, and made it more palatable. Haven’t used mine in anything but beverages and ice cream, but I hope to bake with it soon. Thanks for the links.

    I would like to try the NuNaturals Stevia products as I had tried several over the years and I wasn’t able to get over the funky aftertaste. I have recently given up refined sugar and am looking for something to sweeten my coffee and other foods.

  105. Monique on February 25th, 2012 12:47 am

    I’d love to try it and see if it’s as good as you say. I’ve only ever tried stevia once and it was part of a less than tasty supplement powder. I’ve been told to give up all sugars, including my beloved raw honey, so some good stevia sure would help!!!

    105
  106. Shaina on February 25th, 2012 12:52 am

    I’m on the anti-candida diet (like Ricki was, which is how I found her blog, and then your blog). I’ve been using Stevia for a couple of years now, but only tried NuNaturals when my sister won a giveaway.

    I definitely think that their Stevia is better- a lot less of the bitter taste.

    I’ve tried a couple of brands of stevia but I’m still on the fence about it. I’ve had things turn bitter because I used a tiny bit too much. I would really like to try NuNaturals to see if it makes me a convert too. (I love vanilla so the vanilla variety sounds like fun.)

    I would love to try NuNaturals stevia again, I believe I bought some many years back, but at the moment I have a different brand. I don’t have any liquid stevia and so many recipes call for it, so I have been planning to get some next time I am at the right store!

    The first recipe I’d try is definitely kelly’s vanilla bean cake!
