SweetLeaf Sweet Drops Liquid Stevia Variety 5 Pack 1.7 fl. oz each

The sellers of this product are amazing people. The product itself is really nice for those of us watching sugar intake but still wanting a variety of flavours. The plastic packaging makes them very portable to take with you out and about where you may need your sweetener for coffee.

I’ve been using this brand of liquid sweeteners for a few years now (like 3-4), and I am honestly a HUGE fan! They travel well (airplanes, trains, cruise ships, car) and I love the compact size. I throw 1-2 into a backpack, purse or carryon bag and off I go. Surprisingly TSA has never asked me to place the bottles into my 3-1-1 bag. I’ve never had a bottle leak. However, the liquid in the more fragile glass bottles tends to “cloud” up despite never touching liquid or mouths. IDK why this happens but it’s consistent in the Hazelnut flavor. I use 1 good squirt, or 2 baby squirts if I am mixing flavors. Chocolate caramel, Coconut chocolate, Vanilla caramel & vanilla coconut are my primary 4 combos. Lastly, when the coffee is super strong (fresh from Colombia) I tend to use the unflavored one. That way I can enjoy the heady flavor inherit to the coffee without having to also accept the unsweetened taste. I use a baby squeeze though so as not to adulterate too much.

First, I'll start off with the funny thing. My husband thought these were water flavorants. Which I get, they kinda do. The look just a little similar to water flavor things I've purchased in the past. So when I found out he had used quite a lot to get his water to taste like vanilla, I bust a gutt before I could tell him they were for coffee. He laughed with me, thankfully. My girlfriend came over for coffee and I was like, "My Lady you HAVE to try this. " this girl is a coffee fanatic. Like goes through a giant Costco sized bag of beans in like a month. If you've seen the meme of Snow White keg chugging coffee, that's my girlfriend. Anyway. She agreed with me that the coconut is the best one out of this pack. Next comes chocolate, vanilla, then caramel. Which is odd because given a choice of flavor, caramel is my kryptonite. It just didn't have a strong caramel taste to it. Maybe I didn't use enough, but that's something I can test in the future. But the coconut! Oh my gods that one is divine! Whomever thought about that one with liquid Stevia and made it happen deserves a freaking raise! I don't normally use creamer in my coffee. Not enough space in the fridge for the good stuff. With this, I don't need it. Just a bit of this, pour in the hot stuff and BOOM. Party time.

I'm on my third order of these. I LOVE them. I use them in my coffee and in cooking/baking. The vanilla is the most versatile, since I can use it to replace vanilla extract in things like Keto ice cream, mousse, cakes, etc. The non-flavored seems to leave a bit of an acrid taste, but I find that's true with most stevia sweeteners--especially when heated. But these are highly concentrated, so it only takes a small squirt to flavor things. For low-carbers, here's a great recipe I came up with using these: Bulletproof Keto Hot Chocolate: 1 level tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder 1 scoop vanilla flavored low-carb protein powder 4 packets of Truvia sweetener 1 tbsp heavy whipping cream 1 tbsp salted butter 1 small squirt of Sweetleaf Drops of your flavor choice 8 ounces of hot water Place hot water into your blender or Bullet cup, then add butter. Stir a bit, then add the other ingredients. Blend well (I use a Bullet), and serve immediately. *The protein powder makes it rich and frothy--better than regular cocoa, even--and it's very filling. It's a perfect caffeine-free substitute for Bulletproof Coffee, and really helpful for that nighttime sweet-tooth!

I love the squeeze bottles and they certainly serve a purpose for me. Yes, there are added ingredients, which makes you use a lot more per serving, and this is why they are so inexpensive. But I wouldn't use these squeeze bottles to, say, bake a cake with! They serve a portability purpose, like to throw in your bag so that you can have coffee while on the go. Also, I keep them in my desk drawer at work. We have to drink coffee at our desks with a lid on the cup, for me it's easy to just squeeze a squirt into the drinking hole on the lid, rather than remove the lid once I get to my desk and risk spilling it. This is a nice inexpensive set to have all these fun flavors at your fingertips. There is no monetary savings to order here, the price for the set works out to exactly the same price as buying individually at my local Publix, but with the convenience of having it delivered to your door. Also, my local Publixes never have all 5 flavors at once, ever, so here I get all 5 without having to leave my house! That said, there is a purpose for buying the powder version, like for baking, or if you need to use more quantity for something and make it stretch farther. If you are a purist and for health reasons want a purer form of stevia, the glass bottles offer several options but I got tired of the stevia drying around the bottle neck eventually, making the cap too tight to easily unscrew. For all these reasons, I love these squeeze bottles!
