Good morning Everyone. My last post got randomly deleted, still trying to figure out what went wrong! Sorry!
I am very excited to play catch up on some important things for this blog today, as I never have time during the week 
Last night went well chaperoning the dance. We had more kids then last time and I think everyone had a great time. Most kids were well-behaved. Can I just say though that most grade 6,7,8 girls are more stylish then me? And their cellphones are totally blinged out!? It’s crazy lol. I also listened to Miley Cyrus “Party In the USA” more times then I care to admit 
Twas a late night though… Not sure how I feel about that.
Anyways the point of this morning’s post is to provide you guys with background information on a wonderful company: NuNaturals I was contacted awhile back and they asked me if I wanted to try out a couple of their products to sample and review for the blog. I was curious because I had heard Jillian Michaels talk about the wonders of stevia and my dad’s diabetic nutritionist uses it for her patients. So I thought, why not!?
I used to be an avid aspartame addict. I hate to think of those years when I was 12,13,14 etc etc…slurpin back that lethal little poison and what it has done to the inside of my body!? Ever think about that!? Sure I still slurp back some nasty products still but it is a lot less than what it used to be!
I think it is safe to say with companies like NuNaturals on the market, my aspartame and splenda days are over!
I think it’s important for parents to think about what their kids are eating as well. Back when I was a kid (oh 9 years ago) we did NOT have the resources that we have today. We just didn’t have the research and scientific evidence. But today we do. We should be making proactive choices and decisions as to what enters our bodies and if you have children, their bodies!
Which brings me to NuNaturals
NuNaturals is a company based out of Oregon USA. They have been serving quality products for over 20 years. (20 years!? Where have I been!?) Oh yea, slurping back aspartame.
NuNaturals currently offers:

* Aspartame

NuNaturals products are not altered or produced through genetic engineering. Stevia is derived from sustainable agriculture which assists in making a healthy and happy Earth!

If you are worried about the safety of those other artificial sugar alternatives (which i am) And I’m sure many of you are, why not try stevia instead: Low glycemic, zero calories and low-carb, which makes it a perfect match for most importantly those who should be staying away from sugar products (aka diabetics) Although I don’t mind some REAL sugar every now and again… it’s the fake stuff that freaks me out. Miagranes and cancer!? No thanks.
MORE KEY FEATURES
Sorry if I am repeating myself
Nunaturals stevia products are the amazingly sweet and delicious way to decrease sugar and carbs in your diet (if thats what you are looking to do!)
NuNaturals. provides several forms of stevia extract. They offer a delicious non bitter taste, zero calories (perfect for those watching their waistline) does not affect blood sugar levels, and is safe for diabetics, plus dissolves instantly in hot or cold beverages. (I should know I have been using the packets in my tea!) Yum! These products are also FOS FREE eliminating potential digestion problems. Nustevia also claims to be more economical because you will most likely use less of it. NuStevia contains more Stevia per serving than most stevia products on the market.
I have only used the NuStevia (packets) but it was so great in my tea and didn’t leave an icky aftertaste or my tummy feeling weak which makes me sort of excited to try out all of the other wonderful products they sent me!
As you know I am also trying to lose some weight the healthy way – which makes using Nunatural products so great and easy for me! I don’t have to worry about hidden fat, or carbs.
I was happy that it was zero calories and non bitter. I’ve had sweeteners that just leave a very unpleasant taste in my mouth and TMI: send me to the potty a few times afterwards (Splenda anyone). YUCK. Pleased to say this did NOT happen after having NuStevia White Stevia powder.
Other stuff you can try out with the Nustevia packets…( I really wanna try some of these out)
Sparkling Limeade
12 Nustevia pkts
1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lime juice
1 quart sparkling water
Begin with Nustevia product, add to the lime juice and stir until the Nustevia is dissolved. Add the sparkling water, stir and taste for sweetness; add more Nustevia if needed. Pour over ice to serve.
In…
oatmeal
plain yogurt
tea
coffee
grapefruit
plain cereal
cocoa
Yum!
I am ecstatic that I also received the nocarb blend, the baking blend, vanilla extract and more to sample and review!
I will try to provide these within the coming weeks!
I really just wanted to provide you with company information this time around
I think I shall go have a tea with some NuNaturals stevia sweetener
Have you tried NuNaturals stevia products yet!? What did you like most?
Also what do you think of sweeteners like splenda and aspartame?

Their Stevia packets are my new favorite thing for my Peppermint Tea. Love it!

Splenda and aspartame make me nervous…so I try to not use them that much. That doesn’t mean I never do though….
Also, your Party in the USA reference reminded me that the other night I caught this male cab driver (prob in his 40s) jammmmmin out to that song, but himself in his cab late one night. I wish I had a picture. It was hilarious. No shame!!
Plus, sometimes cheesy pop music is just perfect.

I was so glad to get a chance to try these, too! I love the packets so far; so convenient! I was pleasantly surprised by the taste or shall I say, lack of aftertaste!
I’m looking forward to trying out the baking blends for upcoming holiday treats!

I love your mug!!
We don’t get NuNaturals where I live, so far as I have seen, but I do love stevia. I also use agave, though that probably has calories

Don’t know if we have stevia here, but the tea looks wonderful. I don’t take sugar in my tea or coffee anyway.
[Reply]
No I haven’t tried their products … I’ve actually never seen them.

I avoid artificial sweeteners at all costs, when possible. I don’t think people should need to worry so much about what their food is doing to them, but yet we have to all the time because different studies say this or that. I just stay away and stick to real sugar if I need something sweet. Real sugar, in moderation, is okay.

I really want to try their products, they seem neat!
I try to avoid splenda as much as I can. right now I use stevia from Tj’s because it’s cheaper.
[Reply]
I sprinkle this stuff on my pureed pumpkin – it’s delicious!!! Just like pumpkin pie filling… with out all the extras! Oh and I eat this every morning for breakfast and it’s super energizing!!!
[Reply]
I use light agave in my coffee regularly
So good

I’v been drinking my tea black more and more these days..
[Reply]
sometimes you just can’t avoid splenda! But I do try to avoid it as it sends me to the bathroom and I don’t think that is normal lol…I suggest you email the company and see if they sell it around you?
