Gentle Sweet-
Having trouble adjusting to the taste of Stevia?
Sweeten those “hard to get right” treats with Gentle Sweet and you can bank on the “yum!” word passing your lips. The Trim Healthy Mama community fell in love with our pure Stevia extract and Super Sweet Blend, but some of you kept begging us for a sweetener that popped like pure sugar itself. Gentle Sweet blend has a cotton candy taste but won’t mess with your blood sugar.
Xylitol is often the sweetener of choice for those who can’t seem to get their taste buds around Stevia. The problem with using Xylitol as your chief sweetener is that it can be too easily overdone. It is hundreds of times less sweet than Stevia and unlike Stevia it contains calories which can really add up since large amounts are needed to pack that sweet punch. Large amounts can also cause digestive issues like gas and bloating. Gentle Sweet contains some xylitol for that perfect frosting like taste, but is sensibly blended with a small amount of Stevia extract and non GMO erythritol. The result is a smoothly powdered gentle sweetener that is still twice as sweet as both sugar and Xylitol.
And finally a word from doggies everywhere: “Please keep your Xylitol baked goods away from us. Our canine digestive systems cannot handle it and it can be fatal for us if you turn your back to answer the phone and we sneak your chocolate muffin from the counter top- woof woof.” Canine-safe Xylitol-Free Gentle Sweet Available Here!
Ingredients: Non-GMO Xylitol, Non-GMO Erythritol, Organic Stevia Extract Powder
Though our sweeteners do not contain any corn, our xylitol and erythritol are made through a fermentation process involving non-GMO corn. We choose corn over birch because birch requires a chemical process, whereas by using corn we are able to utilize an all natural enzyme process.
Suggested uses: Cakes, Cookies, Smoothies, Deserts
Benefits: Diabetic-Friendly, No Fillers
*Please Note: As we NEVER put fillers or anti-caking agents in ANY of our products, please gently massage the bag before use to avoid clumps.
Super Sweet-
Muffins, cakes, cookies and shakes can all be yours while your waist whittles down! This blend is the perfect combination of two natural sweeteners, non GMO erythritol and our Organic Pure Stevia Extract Powder. Both are diabetic friendly, offer numerous health benefits and have no impact upon blood sugar.
Our Sweet Blend looks and acts similar to regular sugar (although it is a little sweeter) without the negative health and weight consequences . It is heat stable and offers bulk to your baked goods, so you’ll love it for baking, along with all your other sweetening needs. For many of our “Drive Thru Sue” mamas, it “feels” more conventional than using stevia extract alone.
There are many stevia blends on the market but unfortunately, the majority of them use fillers that won’t do your health or waistline any favors. Stevia that is blended with sugar, dextrose, fructose or maltodextrin can raise your blood sugar and nix the slimming aspect of your Trim Healthy Mama treats. We don’t want you to unknowingly sabotage your progress by using ingredients that can be harmful rather than helpful.
We are making available to you the very blend we have in our own kitchen cupboards and use to create our Trim Healthy Mama recipes.

Stevia-
We are proud to stamp our name on our Pure Stevia Extract Powder!
This pure stevia extract IS NOT an artificial or chemical sweetener. Our extract is made from the non-bitter, naturally occurring, sweet component of the herb stevia – a glycoside called Rebaudioside A. This naturally sweet component is isolated from the stevia leaf, using a gentle water extraction process. We carefully monitored the process from leaf to powder and you can be assured that no bleaching occurs, nor are any unhealthy chemicals used.
There are two ways our stevia stands apart. Most stevia extracts on the market use lower concentrations of Rebiana A (the sweetest part of the leaf) which results in that bitter taste we all want to avoid. Of course, this is cheaper for the company but if you despise a bitter sweet flavor in treats – us too! Blech! Our extract has the highest potency of Rebiana A available – 99%.
Our stevia is also so minimally processed, it has not even been granulated which means it remains as a fine white powder. – like a dust. In the world of stevia products this is rather non-conventional, but we wanted to bring you the most natural and minimally processed product possible. When you receive your stevia pouch, tap it on your counter a few times then zip the seal before opening as the powder likes to plume a little when first opened. Make sure to watch the video on our website about the art of “doonking” your stevia. Too much fun! When adding the powder to your drink or recipe with your doonk, turn spoon downward and gently tap it on the side of your glass or bowl as you empty it out. This will allow the stevia to flow out of the spoon. Don’t put the doonk back in the pouch as you’ll have to dig around in the white powder to find it. Find your doonk its own special home somewhere else in your kitchen.
Our Pure Stevia Extract Powder puts desserts and sweets back on the YES list for those who want to lose weight or watch their blood sugar. It is a zero calorie sweetener and does not raise blood sugar levels. It is considered safe and even beneficial for diabetics or those who suffer from hypoglycemia.
Out of all our Trim Healthy Mama sweeteners, the pure extract is the most economical if you are pinching pennies. A little goes a long way. You only need a few dashes doonks in your smoothies or single serve muffins. Larger cakes may only need ½ to ¾ tsp. to sweeten the entire cake. Start with a very small amount, taste test, then add more if needed.
We made sure the extract you hold in your hand is non GMO, USDA certified organic and is GMP and FDA compliant.
We are making available to you the very Stevia we have in our own kitchen cupboards and use to create our Trim Healthy Mama recipes.
