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.

I know I love cinnamon, so I really enjoy these bars with my coffee, or as an energetic morning snack treat.  I’m sure you will too, so hurry out and get some, and be sure and tell your friends about them.

My grandkids are always raiding my pantry, for whats good to eat when they come to visit. So, I plan on keeping a stock on hand.  I know my daughter’s would love having these on hand in their pantries, for those hectic times when breakfast is on the fly.  These Quaker Soft Baked Bars are good and healthy nutrition for those times, or anytime.
