slightly artificial sweetness?
342138
From all the rave reviews, I was psyched to try this product. It looks too good to be true! 100% of daily vitamins? Filling, tasty meal replacer? There must be a drawback.

Well, it is tasty indeed. I blended it with spinach and frozen peaches. However, it is strangely quite sweet (and the sweetness tastes somewhat artificial). The thing that really scares me is that there is no proper ingredients list. The only two ingredients listed on the bottle is "natural vanilla and chai flavors", so where do all the minerals and vitamins come from? And moreover, how is this product so sweet? I want to know what I'm putting into my body, especially if it's claiming to be ber healthy.

Next time I will try blending it with a banana, and see if that improves things.

PS: this is the label:  [...]
I want to know WHERE the fiber, protein, etc etc comes from...now just how much it has!

Good, but just a bit too sweet for me. I was hoping for a bit more beef jerk flavor with a little of the extras added for an exotic flavor.

The syrup was fine. On its own (when I took a little taste from the bottle directly) the syrup tasted nice. It wasn't too sweet or vanilla-y. Unfortunately, like a lot of other people seem to find, when mixed with my coffee the vanilla flavor disappears, at least if you use the amount suggested on the bottle. If you're a bit of a sugar lover like I am and you dump quite a good amount of the syrup into your glass, then you can better taste the vanilla. However, that amount of the syrup would probably be too sweet for other people.

All in all, I did like the syrup for what it was and I was a little prepared from reading the reviews that it may not be as vanilla-y as I would like which is why I'm not leaving a low-star review.

This is pretty good, but you need to learn a better way of sweetn9ng it. Stevia. Erithrytol ,not the killer fake sugars you put in it.

These are not cheap cookies and they are almost delicious.  However, I tasted a horribly artificial sweet taste in them.  The front of the box says naturally flavored...I assumed that meant all of the flavorings were natural but I was wrong and it tasted it.  For some reason (I'm sure cost, although in a 4 dollar a box cookie the slight savings should not mean much) they use vanillin, which has an awful taste,  The "naturally flavored" is definitely misleading, and in a quality cookie, a weird tasting ingredient like vanillin should be excluded in favor of the real vanilla.  Considering this is basically a very good tasting little cake, it's a shame they sacrificed it for a few cents a box.

This is not as sweet as we had expected. We had to keep adding more to our coffee to make it sweet enough for what we normally had used a little stevia for. Also this is a corn version, versus a wood version. I did not realize it then. It is a Non-GMO but i do not care for it that much. It is probably is a better substitute for cooking & baking. The price was good enough for a trial run, but will go back to my Stevia.

I was previously subscribed to another brand (Taste Nirvana) and I love that one, but the price kept getting up. So I decided to try this Rising Sun to check if it's as good or better. It would have been good...but IT IS TOO SWEET, it made me doubt the purity of the contents. I grew up in the Philippines drinking coconut water regularly, and while I am aware taste may vary from place to place, I have not ever tasted coconut water this sweet. This brand is overly sweet for my taste. I have been on a low-carb high-fat diet and have not even used sugar in my coffee, so that my taste buds now have become very appreciative of any hint of sweetness in supposedly sugar-free foods. This brand has a sweetness that seems fake to me for a real coconut water. I am going back to Taste Nirvana.

The filling is tasty, but the frosting has the same fake taste as blueberry & strawberry Poptart frosting. Somewhat bitter and artificial.

This sweetener tastes like an artificial sweetener which is what I was trying to avoid when I purchased it. I ended up giving it away. To me it has a chemically taste. Would've been great if not for that. The search continues...

Just tried the strawberry. It's ok....sorta... too sweet ( expected that since it's fruit & fruit pure). But leaving my tongue a bit tingly.  Nothing in there that I'm allergic too... just a bit 'too much'. I'll stick to solid fruit but you might like it. ( mixed 1 part with 4 parts water; maybe need 1:4?)

I really don't like the taste of this candy. I thought it would be orange or orange like, but to me it tastes like artificial flavoring, with mild undertones of honey. Sorry, just my opinion.

Not as sweet as sugar, so I have to use more. I believe it has a low glycemic index so I'm all for it.

The taste is good but I'm disappointed they use some artificial sweetener.  Not a lot, but it's there.  Read the ingredients!

could actually be less sweet be OK.  stuff I do like for not being over sweet does not stay in the market long  I guess we collectively really do have quite the sweet tooth.  Will be more crumbs and less clumps by bottom of box - always.  Still good.

I love yogi teas, however I have to admit that this one tasted a little bit too sweet from the stevia. I don't mean sweet in the good way....It gave a weird after taste and i really didn't enjoy it. However this is just my taste preference. If you don't mind an overwhelming stevia sweetness than this tea would be fine.

I like the taste of a little sweet, and cinnamon smell.
When you have a craving of sweets, this is the good alternative.

The flavor is good but this cookie is much too sweet for my taste.  It's  surprising for a French product since I find their pastries to be less  cloying or sugary than American desserts.  The best I can say of these is that they're crunchy...if that's what you're looking for.
