    A Twist on Summer Sips with Truvia and Giveaway!

    By Laura CyraDecember 6, 201831 Comments3 Mins Read
    Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr Email

    During the summer there is nothing like an ice cold glass of iced tea!  You know what I'm talking about, that moment when all you want to do is melt and then you take that first sip and feel refreshed again, yep that moment!  The only part about iced tea for me is the sugar content so I try to stay away from it but I've found a fun solution for all of us!

    Truvia the Calorie-Free Sweetner!

    Truvia is calorie-free, naturally sourced sweetener made from the best tasting part of the Stevia plant leaf.

    Why it calorie free?  Easy answer!  Truvia sweetner comes from nature, the stevia leaf to be exact!  All you need is 1/3 teaspoon ofTruvia to provide the same sweetness as 1 teaspoon of sugar.  I've tried it in my tea and on fruit, delicious!!  I find the sweetness to be better than sugar it is more pure tasting if that makes any sense.  The only thing I can describe is it is similar to when you eat veggies out of your garden and they taste so much better than store bought.

    A Truvia Twist on Summer Sips

    I had the opportunity to experiment with the samples I was given and I managed to find a few new favorite recipes that cut the sugar content in drinks and food!!  Cutting sugar for me in the summer is huge because I want to fit into that bathing suit all summer long.  My favorite recipe I wanted to share is a twist on the iced tea that Truvia has on their website.

    All I can say is delicious and refreshing!  I love the sweetness that Truvia gives in this drink and the combination of the fruit and tea is amazing on a hot summer day or just for a treat in the afternoon.  The Truvia website has an amazing collection recipe waiting for you to try!
