LakantoLiquid Monk Fruit Extract Drops - Zero Calorie, Zero Sugar, Keto Drink Sweetener, Sugar Substitute, On the Go, Tea, Coffee, Water, Smoothies, Other Drinks (Vanilla - 1.76 fl oz - Pack of 1)

Fits perfectly in my purse for on the go convenience while traveling. Just a few drops added to sparkling water creates an instant sugar free "vanilla cream soda." It's perfect in ice coffee, as well as herbal teas. I've also used it in keto dessert recipes. It's a much healthier alternative to artificial sweeteners and tastes so much better with no weird aftertastes.

I prefer to use natural non-caloric sweeteners, with Monk fruit and Stevia being my top options. The Lakanto liquid sweeteners are the best option for me; I tried the vanilla, lemon and regular/original version so far. I find that Monk fruit doesn't have the aftertaste Stevia sometimes has, and keeps better the sweetness and flavor when baking (or otherwise thermally processing the sweetened item).What made me purchase this product was the clean ingredient list (just water, monk fruit extract and flavors), since I dislike when brands`bulk` this type of sweeteners with glycerin or use alcohol. I just wished they would use actual vanilla and lemon extracts, not `natural flavors` (which can contain many odd fillers as long as they have one natural ingredient).The Lakanto Monkfruit sweetener has no bad aftertaste and doesn't cause me any digestive issue. It's quite a strong sweetener (a little goes a long way), while the sweetness and flavor is preserved no matter how I use it.The vanilla flavor is not the best, gourmet-like; it's plain and basic, but still enjoyable.The lemon flavor is absolutely amazing, a nice almost natural lemon taste that is further elevated by the monk sweetness.The regular (unflavored) has a slight aftertaste (but milder than Stevia), I think that the added flavor in the vanilla and lemon options makes them a little more palatable.I use the liquid Monk fruit to flavor and sweeten yogurts, overnight or cooked oats, pancakes/waffles, baked goods.I prefer my coffee black and I rarely drink smoothies and shakes, so I can comment on how it works for that. But I love the lemon flavor in teas and in plain water (with ice), I even mix it with electrolytes and/or BCAAs to make my own sports drink.I usually use a `squirt` per serving, shorter or longer depending on serving size or what other ingredients I use (e.g. if my oatmeal has also fruits, I'll use less). I definitely got less than 260 servings/uses, usually a bottle lasts me 2-4 months, depending on how often I use it (e.g. I use the Original on a regular basis, while the Lemon maybe 2-3 times a week).I don't monitor my glycemic index, so I can't make any statements on that; what I do notice is that I don't get a sugar rush.Regarding the packaging, I just keep the bottle at home, but I also did notice that the cap doesn't closes that well, so it might spill on the go. My biggest complain is that it only comes in a squeeze plastic tube, I would have preferred a glass bottle (maybe a larger size) with a dropper.The only thing I dislike is that Lakanto is notorious for having this product `Out-of-stock`; I'm basically hunting them periodically to make sure I buy when they are available; the `Lemon` is often available, the `Original` sometimes is not in stock for weeks, while `Vanilla` is available once in a blue moon (I have it permanently on e-mail notification).Note: I ordered multiple times (and I keep repurchasing), pictures might reflect older packaging.Note: I would advise everyone to make sure that the item is actually delivered by Lakanto; some versions of the product are sold by other vendors, some not that reliable on terms of shipment and product quality.

Very good supplement for sugar. None of the chemicals like Splenda n others

This has a pleasant vanilla taste, and it is sweet on the tip of your tongue but leaves a strong aftertaste on the palate that lingers. It drips out of the bottle too, not easy to count drops. I will use, but not buy again. Monk fruit is only good with Erythritol. I upgraded this to 4 stars because it turned out adequate in strong coffee.

It has a nice taste and you only need a small amount. I was glad to obtain it on sale.

I used calorie-free coffee creamers with aspartame (2 tbsp per cup) and coffee tasted really sweet. With this product, Monk Fruit drops, I put 16 drops into a coffee cup (4-5 times the dosage) and coffee is barely sweet. What a waste of money.

Good priceNo erythritolVery sweet

I love this sweetener for my coffee.
