Ugh, why does this have to contain stevia?!?
I don’t know how I missed the fact this contains monk fruit and stevia, but it is the first thing I noticed when I tasted it. The taste/aftertaste of these sweeteners is all I notice. I even tried using the mix in a smoothie in an effort to mask that taste; however, nothing I tried could cover the taste of the sweeteners. As someone who couldn’t tolerate artificial sweeteners and find “natural sweeteners” (other than sugar, honey, maple syrup, etc) unpalatable due to their overwhelming sweetness and horrible aftertaste, I wish manufacturers would either make options sweetened with sugar or completely unsweetened so people could sweeten products to their own liking. I won’t be able to use this, hopefully I can find someone who doesn’t mind stevia to give it to as it was too pricey to just throw it away.
