As someone whose sweet tooth has its own gym membership, I’ve been on a never-ending quest for a sugar substitute that doesn’t taste like regret or leave me wondering if I just licked a chemistry set. Enter: Health Garden Monk Fruit Sweetener, Classic. Spoiler alert-it’s so good, even my sugar bowl feels threatened. First Impressions: The bag is so big, I briefly considered using it as a doorstop. But then I remembered: I have cookies to make and zero time for doors. The sweetener itself looks like sugar, pours like sugar, and, most importantly, doesn’t make me question my life choices. Taste Test: I started small-coffee. One spoonful and I was convinced I’d accidentally grabbed real sugar. No weird aftertaste, no “wait, is that… licorice?” moment. Encouraged, I went full mad scientist: banana bread, brownies, and even a batch of “I-swear-they’re-healthy” muffins. Every time, the results were so convincing, my family staged an intervention for my “sugar addiction.” Joke’s on them-it’s monk fruit! Health Perks: Zero calories. My bathroom scale is finally less judgy. No blood sugar spikes. My pancreas sent a thank-you card. Keto-friendly, gluten-free, and apparently safe for pets (though my cat still prefers tuna). The Fine Print: Yes, it contains erythritol. If you’re sensitive, maybe don’t eat an entire tray of cookies in one sitting (ask me how I know). But for most, it’s smooth sailing. Final Verdict: If you’re looking to cut sugar without cutting joy, this is the sweetener for you. It’s so good, I’m convinced the monks who invented this were actual wizards. Highly recommended for bakers, coffee lovers, and anyone who wants to have their cake and eat it too-without the sugar crash.

I really only use it to sweeten my coffee, and iced-tea, but it tastes good and is a great substitute for those of us trying to cut back on your sugar intake.

Taste just like brown sugar

This sugar substitute tastes closer to actual sugar than any substitute I have ever tried in my 50+years of type 1 diabetes. It measures like sugar as well. If they could get the price down some more it would be perfect & I would give it 5 stars.

Same as sugar

El mejor reemplazo para la azucar, sabe igual y no deja residuos de sabor en la boca.

I do not like most sweetners that are not cane sugar. However, I love this Monk fruit natural sweetener. I changed my diet to Paleo to eat cleaner and that included doing away with cane sugar. This product is perfect! You can add it to anything you used to put sugar in; coffee, sprouted oatmeal, use it to bake with almond flour. It's one teaspoon of monk fruit which equals the same amount of cane sugar. Without the extra calories and without the poor gut health and inflammation from processed and refined cane sugar. What's not to like!

My husband needs to cut out sugar due to gout so this is a wonderful alternative
