NuNaturals.com
I was lucky enough to have been given several NuNaturals products to review!
As with all of my reviews, these are my own observations and opinions. I am under no obligation by NuNaturals to give a good review. (It doesn’t matter, though because they got a great review anyway)
NuNaturals is an Oregon company that has been in business for 20 years. They produce only quality, all-natural products.
MoreFiber™Baking Blend
I have been using this in all of my baking, since I got it. We can all use more fiber right? Why not use something that sweetens too?
I substituted half of the sugar called for in the first few recipes, after that I tried substituting the entire sugar amount and you know what? No one could taste a difference!
So nice to know that I can bake sweet treats and my family, friends and I are not getting a lot of sugar but we are getting more fiber (No bloating or gas). The flavour of the recipes is not compromised at all and there is no bitter after taste.
This product has just become a staple in my home.
{MoreFiber™Baking Blend contains no soy, yeast, wheat, milk, synthetics, msg, artificial colours or flavours, preservatives, saccharin, aspartame, sucralose, or artificial sweeteners.}
Pure Liquid™ Lo Han Supreme™
{The fruit, Lo Han Guo (Siraitia grosvenorii) has been used as a food, beverage, and traditional medicine. It is from the plant family, Cucurbitaceae. The cucumber, melon, squash, and gourd are also apart of this family. The most unique component of Lo Han Guo are the triterpene glycoside. These non-caloric sweeteners are known as mogrosides.}
I was unable to try this product because I am allergic to alcohol and there is some alcohol in there I have actually passed it on to a diabetic friend to try and will do a product review from her at a later date
About Pure Liquid™ Cocoa Bean Extract 2 oz.
{Health Benefits Without The Fat & Sugar
The average 40 gram bar of dark chocolate contains 250 calories and 14 grams of fat! If the chocolate bar uses Dutch processs cocoa, some of the polyphenols will be destroyed. NuNaturals Cocoa Extract contains 15% of the polyphenols and 10% theobromines in Cocoa. Ten milliliters of our Cocoa Extract would contain the same amount of polyphenols and theobromines in a chocolate bar at about the same cost, but without the fat and calories! But how does it taste? Delicious! We have added a touch of our non-bitter NuStevia™ extract to complement the taste of the Cocoa extract.
So Why Are Polyphenols So Good For You?
Antioxidants are chemicals that prevent the oxidation of other compounds. Oxidation is the process of adding oxygen to a compound. The oxidation process, if left unchecked, can produce “free radical” molecules. Free radicals can start chemical reactions that can cause damage to cells and DNA. Antioxidants help reduce the level free radicals by acting as recipients of the extra oxygen thus preventing the oxidation and subsequent damage to your cells. Your body can fight against this oxidation but this ability declines with age. You can enhance your body’s antioxidant defenses by eating antioxidant-rich foods. NuNaturals Cocoa Extract has very high polyphenol content. This is a excellent way to nourish your body with antioxidants.
ORAC, or Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity is a measure of antioxidant power. This measure quantitates a food’s ability to neutralize the harmful effects of free radicals. Data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Journal of the American Chemical Society show that cocoa is one of the highest foods on the ORAC chart.}
Again, with this product, it does contain alcohol so it was also passed on to my friend.
Wait for the review!
Pure Liquid™ Vanilla Alcohol Free Stevia™
{This is a truly amazing product. If you love NuNaturals Stevia, this is a product that you must try. This is not merely a Vanilla flavored Stevia liquid like so many others on the market. This is a true Vanilla extract made from premium bean that produces a product with incomparable taste. Once you have add this to your tea or coffee, yogurt, or lemonade, you will not know how you lived without it.
NuNaturals has combined Singing Dog Vanilla with our delicious Stevia. Now you can have the delicious taste of vanilla bean extract with our amazing Stevia. Our Alcohol Free Stevia Extract contains 140 mg per ml and is in a base of vegetable glycerine.
For individuals that are sensitive to alcohol, here is a product especially for you. For everyone else, the unique sweet taste that the glycerine imparts makes this a favorite of many NuNaturals Stevia users. The Alcohol Free Extract has a taste that is mellower than the alcohol based liquids.}
I used a few drops in my water to give it flavour – very, very nice!
I also used it in a couple of recipes, so far, instead of “vanilla extract” and it was wonderful.
I made some white icing for a spice cake and let me tell you the Vanilla Alcohol Free Stevia™ gave it a wonderful flavour!
Alcohol Free Stevia™
{For individuals that are sensitive to alcohol, here is a product especially for you. For everyone else, the unique sweet taste that the glycerine imparts makes this a favorite of many NuNaturals Stevia users. The Alcohol Free Extract has a taste that is mellower than the alcohol based liquids.

I have been using this product to sweeten my coffee and my porridge. It is perfect for drinks. I also made home made cocoa (Not an ideal summer beverage but I wanted to try it) The Stevia sweetened it nicely and I enjoyed my cocoa immensely (Except that I got very warm LOL)
Pure Liquid™ Clear Stevia™ Plastic Bottle 2 oz
{NuNaturals has developed this easy to use liquid that allows the most accurate measurement of Stevia Extract. This liquid is so concentrated, that only 5-10 drops are needed. Same Pure Liquid Clear Stevia in the glass bottle, but the convenience and lower price of a plastic bottle. Built in squeeze dropper top.
Our Pure Liquid Clear Stevia Extract contains 200 mg per ml and is in a base of vegetable glycerine and 20% pure grain alcohol. Clear Stevia comes in a 2 oz bottle. Great for teas and other beverages.}
Once again, this product went to my diabetic friend (Contains alcohol) and you will see the review soon!
NuStevia™ White Stevia™ Quick Dissolve Tabs
{Quick Dissolve Tabs contain our NuStevia White Stevia Extract and fiber. These marvelous tabs are a pre-measured serving. The tabs are very easy to break into halves or even fourths so that you can use as much as you want or as little as you want. NuStevia Quick Dissolve Tablets contains absolutely no calories or carbohydrates.}
These are great to take with you to restaurants etc. I keep my bottle in my purse. They are very sweet and there is no bitter after taste. Not only a great sweetener, it gives you extra fiber.
NuStevia™¬ White Stevia™ Extract Powder
{Our NuStevia White Stevia Extract is our most concentrated form, and only a tiny amount is needed. This is a powder extact. This form is excellent for mixing up large batches of beverages or for recipes.
The 1 oz bottle contains only the NuStevia extract and natural flavors.
NuNaturals Pure NuStevia Extract contains absolutely no calories.}
I love this product for making up pitchers of iced coffee or iced tea because a little goes a very long way!
There is no bitter after taste and my guests all thought I had used sugar!
NuStevia™ White Stevia™ Packets
{White Stevia™ Extract Powder contains the flowing agent maltodextrin, a food grade carbohydrate derived from grain. Tasteless, maltodextrin is the perfect medium to use with the extract, making it easier to measure. This form is perfect for sprinkling on cereal, yogurt as well as mixing in beverages. One quarter to three quarters of a teaspoon is the recommended serving.
White Stevia Powder contains 60% more Stevia extract than most other brands on the market. The cost to get the same sweet taste of other brands can be up to 2 1/2 times more expensive compared to NuNaturals. NuNaturals White Stevia Powder will save you money.}
These are great! I keep them in my locker at work, I work 12 hour shifts, so I often have “breakfaxst” when I get there. These packets are great for sprinkling on my cereals as well as on my grapefruit and in my coffee. The handy packets make it very convenient.
Sweet X™ Xylitol Crystals
{Sweet X, Xylitol Crystals is a naturally-occurring 5-carbon polyol sweetener found in many fruits and vegetables. Xylitol is even produced by the human body during normal metabolism of glucose. Xylitol is the sweetest of all the polyols.}
I wasn’t sure if I was able to use this product because it contains4 grams of sugar alcohols per teaspoon, so My friend will be reviewing this one as well.
