Liquid Monk Fruit Extract Drops - Vanilla

👍 👍 The original ❤️ red bottle is & has treated us good for years in adding sweetness without flavor to anything but this new caramel🤩 option is sooooo much better than the fake-chemical tasting vanilla option. It’s more rounded out flavor profile works well with anything and everything that needs a little more depth than what the original sweetener does❣️🤩❤️‼️ 👎👎 When asked about the “value for the money”, the ten-buckeroos is a lot & barely worth it imo. Lakanto’s new asking price of fifteen-buckeroo’s is totally INSANE‼️

It is sweet, has a little after taste when you first use it. After a week, I preferred this to sugar in my hot tea and no aftertaste noticed. 4 drops in a regular size coffee mug is plenty.

I've tried all the artificial sweeteners and I'm ok with Splenda as it uses Stevia. However, it's not completely pure but better than most. This monk fruit sweetener is fantastic. I use it only for sweet tea and I don't over sweeten but use enough to give a good taste that's not artificial. Wish it was cheaper but I feel it's the best out there health wise.

I prefer to use natural non-caloric sweeteners, with Monk fruit and Stevia being my top options. The Lakanto liquid sweeteners are the best option for me; I tried the vanilla, lemon and regular/original version so far. I find that Monk fruit doesn't have the aftertaste Stevia sometimes has, and keeps better the sweetness and flavor when baking (or otherwise thermally processing the sweetened item). What made me purchase this product was the clean ingredient list (just water, monk fruit extract and flavors), since I dislike when brands`bulk` this type of sweeteners with glycerin or use alcohol. I just wished they would use actual vanilla and lemon extracts, not `natural flavors` (which can contain many odd fillers as long as they have one natural ingredient). The Lakanto Monkfruit sweetener has no bad aftertaste and doesn't cause me any digestive issue. It's quite a strong sweetener (a little goes a long way), while the sweetness and flavor is preserved no matter how I use it. The vanilla flavor is not the best, gourmet-like; it's plain and basic, but still enjoyable. The lemon flavor is absolutely amazing, a nice almost natural lemon taste that is further elevated by the monk sweetness. The regular (unflavored) has a slight aftertaste (but milder than Stevia), I think that the added flavor in the vanilla and lemon options makes them a little more palatable. I use the liquid Monk fruit to flavor and sweeten yogurts, overnight or cooked oats, pancakes/waffles, baked goods. I prefer my coffee black and I rarely drink smoothies and shakes, so I can comment on how it works for that. But I love the lemon flavor in teas and in plain water (with ice), I even mix it with electrolytes and/or BCAAs to make my own sports drink. I usually use a `squirt` per serving, shorter or longer depending on serving size or what other ingredients I use (e.g. if my oatmeal has also fruits, I'll use less). I definitely got less than 260 servings/uses, usually a bottle lasts me 2-4 months, depending on how often I use it (e.g. I use the Original on a regular basis, while the Lemon maybe 2-3 times a week). I don't monitor my glycemic index, so I can't make any statements on that; what I do notice is that I don't get a sugar rush. Regarding the packaging, I just keep the bottle at home, but I also did notice that the cap doesn't closes that well, so it might spill on the go. My biggest complain is that it only comes in a squeeze plastic tube, I would have preferred a glass bottle (maybe a larger size) with a dropper. The only thing I dislike is that Lakanto is notorious for having this product `Out-of-stock`; I'm basically hunting them periodically to make sure I buy when they are available; the `Lemon` is often available, the `Original` sometimes is not in stock for weeks, while `Vanilla` is available once in a blue moon (I have it permanently on e-mail notification). Note: I ordered multiple times (and I keep repurchasing), pictures might reflect older packaging. Note: I would advise everyone to make sure that the item is actually delivered by Lakanto; some versions of the product are sold by other vendors, some not that reliable on terms of shipment and product quality.

Item is great as sugar replacement for coffee

I love sweet things, and always have. BUT I've been having a hard time with sugar lately, and it seems like I end up not feeling good after I eat it. I've been trying different options, but most of them leave a funky aftertaste. Stevia is better than most, and I have a monkfruit powder that I use in my ninja creami that's pretty good. This monkfruit is nice, because it doesn't contain erythritol like most brands. The erythritol has a strange taste and makes my tongue cold. This is a liquid, so it mixes right into my tea, and a few drops does the trick. A little goes a long way.

These are a staple in our house and I have a bottle at the office as well. They are super sweet and you only need 1 drop, so they last forever! When my brother in law requested keto goodies for Christmas I ordered a bottle for him - along with a few other items to support his keto journey. I love that these don't spike your glucose but also that they're natural and not synthetic and full of chemicals. They're pricey - but with how long the last, it is worth it to me.

I love this. No sweet aftertaste
