Has anyone compared this to KAL stevia (which in my opinion was the best tasting before they added filler)?

I've used both. The only downside I've found here is texture. This brand is very powdery to the point of being messy. The taste is good.

I agree with Northernliving. NuNaturals stevia was my favorite, before they changed their formula, and I've tried many, including this one since. Nothing I have tried has compared to NuNaturals' old formula. This one is okay, but takes more to sweeten and isn't as good in my opinion. Good luck!

I cannot compare to GS Oats/Whey, as I have never tried that product; however, I can tell you that, at least in my opinion, the Natural Vanilla does not have a detectable stevia taste. I don't necessarily dislike the flavor of stevia, but I cannot use Truvia in my coffee because of the taste, and I can taste its presence in vitaminwater zero, just to give you a frame of reference. Hope that helps a little!

Hi Dr. Rusty. Honestly i did not notice a difference between this and a previous brand's "regular" flavour seaweed snack. The next time i try these i will try to pay more attention to the flavour. Please don't hold your breath however, as i will likely try a different brand next time. (Only because i've tried just one other brand so far -- with a "regular" or "plain" flavor, IIRC -- the two different brands tasted exactly the same to me, though i admittedly did not do a proper side-by-side taste test with both products present at the same time.)

I did not buy the packets, only the bulk pure powder. In my experience, I have never found a pure stevia product without an aftertaste. That being said, I love the product and we don't notice the aftertaste anymore.

Stevia has an aftertaste to me. Swerve does not. It tastes just like sugar to me.

In my opinion it is more similar in taste to that of a bland strawberry yoohoo when blended with milk... I like it just fine that way personally..BUT, If you are desperate for a "fuller" strawberry milk taste (or just feel like splurging a bit) add one teaspoon, or two at most, of Hershey's Strawberry syrup. I've done this and it tastes absolutely divine, like its not even a protein shake, but more like a desert shake with all the benefits and none of the "guilt".

I tried the Garden of Life raw protein. It was gross! I don't know if it was the stevia that was the problem, but I have a whole tub of it that I just can't stomach. As for the Growing Naturals, this stuff is AMAZING! The chocolate rice protein is equally amazing and even smoother in taste. I don't notice any excessive stevia taste in this product. I've tried Sun Warrior, which is also good, but this brand is by far my favorite. I highly recommend it!

I just posted on this. There was a posting a few months back that the product was now being made in China and the taste was unpleasantly different. I do not think this was true of my batch, but I was influenced by the comments of others. Look into those early 2013 comments if you feel the need, but if you are not happy with the taste nothing anyone says will make a difference. I would suggest you look around for something else but stay in the Stevia family.

No. Actually I have found out that it also has maltodextrin and silica in it, too. I think I will look for another brand that is pure stevia. I'm glad you asked.

sierra-I am using the better stevia and the label is a green color(marked better stevia and not the same label as you are showing. I think you are showing stevia extract and not better stevia. hope this helps your question to be resolved. the better stevia works very well for me with no bitter aftertaste.

We stopped taking this because they changed the flavor. From what I can tell it's because they started using Stevia in the new formulation. I compared my old jar to the new one and that's the only difference I can see. My kids used to love them, now they just taste nasty!

It has a different taste than the NOW stevia. I think now has more of an aftertaste. I had to adjust. I buy both and use differently. Mood and Mind is more cost effective. Use M&M in food, and NOW in drinks. I use a lot of stevia.

I use the Zero Erythritol packets in my coffee almost daily. It tastes more like sugar than Stevia. Sometimes I combine and other times I alternate between the Zero and stevia. I like both.

I don't know about the other Stevia "drops" but I can tell you this is about the consistency of a body lotion....hard to describe but it's definitely gel-ish like. I really like it, it's got a good taste to it unlike some other brands of liquid Stevia, which to me, have a weird aftertaste. This brand is good and there's no aftertaste at all.

I want to know this, too. I've been buying pure stevia powder from Vitamin Shoppe so I'm wondering if there will be a difference from what I'm used to. How can this stuff seem so much sweeter?

The recent one I received about 2 weeks ago doesn't have stevia in the ingredients. I didn't know it was changed and it taste the same as the previous formulation to me.

I have not tasted a difference in the 3 years Im have been drinking it. I prefer this taste over any other energy drink I've tried. The active ingredients; Taurine, Ginseng, and caffiene, were approved my my gastroenterologist. I also like the single serving can. Most of the other drinks say they are 2 servings. Like any one is putting a half can in the refridgerator for tommorrow.
