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.

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 rechecked the nutrition label just to be sure and it indicates 0 calories. Stevia is by far the safest (probably the only safe) sugar substitute.

According to the information supplied to us by MRM we see that the product label states "no artificial sweeteners or sugars" and shows the only sweeteners used is TreLEAFia™ which is a blend of (Stevia Leaf Extract, Monk Fruit Extract, and Trehalose). We hope this helps! - Swanson Health Products

I used liquid and granulated stevia in this machine (which I ended up throwing away see my review). Short answer - yes you can substitute and make ice cream with those sugar replacements BUT you may want to look for a higher quality ice cream maker all together as I found this to be useless after the first 3-5 batches.

I buy this product because it is pure stevia. Read the label. Under other ingredients it says " none". Love it.

No, only erythritol. If you want a stevia that is only stevia with water as the carrier, Sweet Leaf Liquid or Stevita Liquid is your other option. Great products either way.

You're welcome! Let me know if there's a different kind of stevia you are looking for. I have access to a lot more stevias than what I currently have in my store.

If you go to the manufacturer's website (stevitastevia.com) there is a link at the bottom of the page to get help. I'm sure they will be glad to answer any questions you might have. They seem to be very conscientious and transparent about their products. I like their Simply-Stevia product because it is one of the very few stevia products that has no added ingredients. Once you get used to the TINY amount required to sweeten things, it works very well, and the small container is quite portable. For baking, the spoonable is probably more suitable.

Hi Angela. The manufacturer in Brazil is releasing a new product, Stevita SOUL, which is 100% stevia, nothing else added. Keep your eyes out, hopefully the US distributor will bring it in soon :)

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

No there isn't. It says no sugar, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, milk,egg shellfish or preservatives.

It contains 10 mg of Stevia and is not sweet tasting so doubt there is a need for other sweeteners.

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.

I am not sure I know the answer. I did not see any sugars listed in the ingredients either. All I can tell you is that I never like any drinks sweeten w stevia, because I found it to have a lot of after taste, but I do not experience this w this protein. The label does list 1.5 grams of sugar. If you are concerned about sugar intake because of health issues, like diabetes, I would call the manufacturer. I usually add a ripe banana or a banana and a half, (which have a lot of natural sugar) ice and water. I found it to be delicious, very filling and w no after taste. Good luck. I hope this helps you.

I have tried Stevia, but it tastes a little too sweet for me. I prefer the Organic Coconut Palm Sugar, because there is no after taste and no sugar spikes. It is low glycemic and absorbs slowly. I made cookies with this and the sweetness is just right.

There is no added sugar to this product. There are ingredients that contain natural sugar such as organic strawberry, cherry, blackberry, blueberry, and beet root. I hope this answer is helpful.
