What’s Your Take On Keto Sweeteners?

What’s your take on erythritol and other sugar-free sweeteners?

I don’t have any issues with any of the low carb sweeteners myself, but I know we’re all different. I can even tolerate maltitol, like in sugar free Russel Stover candy – as long as I stick to a serving and don’t eat the whole bag. 🤣

But if I do eat let’s say two servings (or more), then it’s like: 😳 lol.

I don’t have problems with maltodextrin in ANY amount. I’ve tested that repeatedly. Although I’ve heard others say it DOES spike their blood sugar, so it’s definitely about bio-individuality…

For keto recipes or in products I buy, I definitely prefer erythritol. Although I don’t like things overly sweet, so less is good!

I use Swerve for ALL my low carb baking (which is erythritol).

What about you?

Some of my favorite keto recipes I use Swerve in are:

Best Keto Blueberry Muffins Recipe

🍌 Best Low Carb Banana Nut Bread Recipe (Keto Friendly & Gluten Free)

Success! Low Carb Pecan Pie Recipe 👀 Keto Dessert That Doesn’t Disappoint 😉

And of course the pancakes & waffles I make with the same recipe as the Blueberry Muffins. 😍

Swerve is DEFINITELY my go-to in the kitchen!

I love love love the Swerve Brown too – that one has been my favorite in the muffin recipe!

Let’s talk keto sweeteners!

I’d love to hear what you PREFER taste-wise, and what reactions or test results you’ve had from various sugar free sweeteners you’ve tried.

Our collective experience could be REALLY helpful to others who may have experienced a certain reaction or result, but didn’t realize it was from this or that.

Or YOUR experience I should say, since I seem to be pretty tolerant to most sweeteners.

I just don’t like the TASTE of Stevia, so I avoid that one in products (or in my coffee) and some companies go overboard with the Allulose (making things TOO sweet for my taste), but that’s really just a taste preference.
