ReplyDeleteTry substituting that wonderful calorie-free herb- based stevia for splenda. Look at this interesting article about splenda: http://www.womentowomen.com/healthyweight/splenda.aspx
ReplyDeleteSee web md for information on Stevia.
Stevia works especially well as a sweetener with tangy foods like lemon and with yogurt.
A great summer refresher is iced water with lemon, stevia and any herbal tea bag to give it color and flavor.

Merlyn, thanks for your suggestion regarding substituting stevia for splenda. While we are comfortable with the safety of incorporating moderate amounts of splenda in some of our recipies, stevia does have a distinctive flavor that some might enjoy or prefer when used in the H3 Fruity Sangria or other recipies that call for a sweentener.
