Splendid job, Splenda!

As some of you know, my daughter has type 1 Diabetes, and I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. As you can imagine, sugar is not our friend. So when I was given the opportunity to try out Splenda with Fiber, I said, "Oh, yeah!" Well, I've tried it and I'm still saying, "Oh, yeah!"

Splenda with Fiber has 3 grams of fiber in every tablespoon. To give you an idea of how much that is, it's about the same as eating a 1/2 cup of oatmeal. It's recommended that we (adults) get about 25 grams of fiber in our diet each day so Splenda with Fiber goes a long way to helping me reach that goal.

So does Splenda work? Yes! I loved that it measures the same as sugar so I don't have to spend time figuring out how to substitute it in recipes. I really enjoy the taste. I don't feel like it has that aftertaste that some artificial sweeteners have.

The other thing I like is Splenda has a great recipe section on their website! Just this week we made the Choco-chip Recipe and they were great! Plus they are only 11 grams of carbs per cookies, so much less than cookies made with sugar.

There is also a great section on living with Diabetes, and an amazing Wellnes section! Go visit, there's great information there!

Splenda with Fiber is now our "go-to" sweetener! Want to try it yourself? One lucky reader has a chance to win your own bag of Splenda with fiber! Sweet! (hee-hee, pun intended!)
