Goal For The Green

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Nectresse™ Sweetener for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

What’s left of Summer just got a whole lot sweeter with Nectresse. From the maker of Splenda® Sweeteners, NECTRESSE™Sweetener derives its natural sweetness from the monk fruit, a small green melon that has grows on lush vines in remote mountain regions in Asia. For hundreds of years this wonderful fruit has been used by natives of the mountain regions, and NOW it is the only sweetener made from this naturally sweet fruit.  The deliciously sweet monk fruit extract, is combined with the perfect blend of other natural sweeteners in Nectreese, to bring you the rich sweet taste of sugar without all the calories.

Lisa Ling,is America’s favorite journalist,and she is the NECTRESSE™ Sweetener spokesperson! Due to her family history of diabetes she has always been cautious about her sugar intake and relied only on no calorie sweeteners to satisfy her sweet tooth.  She hasn’t liked any other sweetener as much as NECTRESSE™!  Here is her video testimonial about Nectresse:

An important thing to note is that, NECTRESSETM Natural No Calorie Sweetener is 150 times sweeter than sugar. It can be used in cooking and baking to add natural, zero calorie per serving sweetness to your favorite baking recipies and beverages. You’ll be surprised at how little Nectresse you will use to achieve the desired sweetness you are after.Your recipies will have the same great flavor, at a fraction of the cost and zero calories.

Here is a picutre of what I had for breakfast

2 golden plums with 1/2 cup of blacberries from my yard.  A 6oz container of Oikos Cherry flavored Yogurt, and 1/2 cup 2% Cottage Cheese for protein.  Topped with a packet of Nectresse equal to two teasppons of sugar, a few sprinkles of Cinnamon, and a handful of Cinnamon flavored Rice Chex (gluten free).  Nectresse was just enought to flavor the cottage cheese.  I will be doing this again, as it was a very tasty treat, and not overly sweet. What I’m really pleased about, is there is no lingering aftertaste, that I have noticed in some other sweetners.  That is a big plus to me.

NECTRESSETM Sweetener, is available NOW in grocery stores, drug stores, supercenters and online, for suggested retail prices of $3.99 for convenient single-serve packets of (40 servings) and $.6.99 for an easy to hold canisters of (140 servings) availavle with a multipurpose lid for sprinkling, pouring or spooning.

Well, now’s the time to get out there and get one. During the month of August, there is a massive August Prius Blowout sale going on.   The Prius debuted in 2001, at the new edge of design and technology. It’s powered by a hybrid electric motor that is paired up to a gasoline engine-so you have power when you need it.  The units are designed to work together in tandem or individually, allowing you to earn great fuel economy while producing next to NO carbon emissions.

Unlike many of the other subcompacts Prius is roomy and qualifies as a midsize sedan. It comfortably seats four adults, while offering a smooth ride, and it can be loaded with just about any high tech features you can imagine. For the environmentally conscious family or individual looking to enjoy the outdoors and conserve fuel- the Prius is your answer to achieving both goals.  Over time owning a Prius, or just about any Toyota, saves you money, while offering you unparalleled fuel economy. I previously owned a Toyota Carola, and loved it. My BIL, owns a 2010 Prius, and loves the fuel economy he gets on freeway driving.

The Prius first went on the market in Japan in 1997, as the first mass produced hybrid vehicle. It was then introduced worldwide in 2000, and is now sold in over 70 countries.  The 2 million sold milestone was reached in September of 2010.

Toyota expanded the Prius family to include Prius-v an extended roomy hatchback wagon, and the Prius-c toyota prius c special offers a subcompact hatchback in 2011, and this year they have added a Plugin Hybrid to the family of Prius choices. With at least five different choices of the Prius and a nationwide blowout sale, now’s the time to scoop up on the value at your nearest Toyota dealership.
