Is there stevia or sugar alternatives in this product?

The Nutrition Facts mention "Sugar 10g", but I don't think Stevia is in it or sugar alternatives, unless you consider Fructose a sugar alternative. When you found this item on Amazon, they should have the info on Fruitein on their site & look in the Ingredients "folder". Or go to - http://www.drugstore.com/natures-plus-fruitein-high-protein-energy-shake-rainbow/qxp352469 I discovered Fruitein & Spirulien a few years ago & really like it for a breakfast meal or an afternoon meal. My favorite flavor is any of the berrys, Rainbow is tastey cause it's got a lot of fruit, spirulina, white tea, etc. in it. I use milk to mix it in. And I found out that whole milk is better than 1% or 2%, so I switched. Better tasting drink with whole milk. You could use water, but it wouldn't have the same taste, I don't think. If you are Lactose intolerant, try whatever you like, i.e. Soy Milk. enjoy

No stevia, but Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) also sometimes called oligofructose or oligofructan, are oligosaccharide fructans, used as an alternative sweetener. FOS exhibits sweetness levels between 30 and 50 percent of sugar in commercially prepared syrups.[unreliable source?][1] It occurs naturally, and its commercial use emerged in the 1980s in response to consumer demand for healthier and calorie-reduced foods.

NO. You have to buy a Stevia baking mixture. This contains some sugar. Have already tried using this alone and the ingredient mixture made it obvious.

I would say not, but I haven't tried it. I've never met an artificial sweetener that tastes exactly like sugar. It seems there's always an after taste. I think it's the best of the lot even though it is 70% sweet as sugar. Monk fruit extract mixed with this product may be a better combination although I am not sure of the percentages of each to make a mix. I'm going to order this as I have used eryrithritol before and although it is not perfect it is the best of any. Splenda is okay as sweetener but full of chemicals that are a bit scary with potential health problems.

Stevia is very stable at high temperatures and is a good sugar substitute for baking. I use it all the time and no one can tell. Go to their website for a conversion chart.

No, there's no sugar added. It uses xylitol, a non-caloric sugar alcohol, as a sweetener.

You are more aware than me! As far as I know there is none. I love this sweetener knowing it's natural and secondly it doesn't leave the after taste that some do. Just know that it isn't a cup for a cup. It's much more economical and takes a lot less. I found that about half is equal to a cup of sugar but that's preferential taste.

You can use Stevia in place of sugar (or honey) and you can puree some fruit and add instead of whole pieces.Jill Merrill

You can view the label on linef.....supposed to be all natural....the only thing that I didnt like was the stevia. Although it is supposed to be in a natural form, I dont tolerate artificial sweeteners and it made me sick.

Stevia is NOT an artificial sweetener! It's a little strong tasting, but it's NOT artificial!!

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.

No. The label does not list that as an ingredient and has no other ingredient but "organic stevia extract that has not been mixed with any other ingredient".

I wouldn't use chemicals with it. It would defeat the purpose, but I have used a little stevia as that is a natural low cal sweetener that is a good sugar alternative substitute. Try low fat milk and stay away from sugar and anything that is man-made.

Even with stevia of equivalent sweetness, there is no standard. This is supposed to be equal to half a packet of sugar. If you mix 2 tsp of this to a 2 oz. dropper bottle of water, you get about the same thing as a bottle of liquid stevia.

None that I can see on the label. It has less than 1 gram of sugar per serving.

No, this did not have stevia... I checked the ingredients statement for it and the box says it's all natural ingredients... crystalized lemon juice.
