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…
Keto Myths, My Starbucks Keto Iced Coffee & Maltodextrin Hype vs Truth
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 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.
