This is it, stop looking for an alternative sweetener.
I was skeptical that I'd find an alternative sweetener that was naturally occurring, not artificial, and not have a weird taste or aftertaste. But this is it! I didn't want to get too hyped because many Keto Youtubers have recommended Swerve and how good it is, but Besti has you like, "Swerve, who??" I made ice cream with it last night, and I tasted the unfrozen 'batter' and WOW. I didn't think it would be possible to low carb and have 'normal' desserts, so I'm pretty stoked about this.
The only thing is I'm not a fan of this in my coffee, only because I had to add 3-4 tsp to get it to my liking. But if you're the type of person who always liked regular sugar in your coffee, then you'll probably like the way this tastes actually. It tastes like I put actual sugar in my coffee, which even when I wasn't low carb-ing wasn't a taste I liked anyway. I'm a stevia gal there when it comes to my coffee. But other than that, it's phenomenal. Tastes good on its own too. No weird aftertaste at all (looking at you erythritol!) It's not as sweet as real sugar, so I would start subbing 1:1 but try heaping servings and it should even out. I won't buy another sweetener now, this is it.
