When it comes to sugar, I like to say, “I can’t live with it, but I really can’t live without it.” What do I mean? Well, I know deep down, sugar is my number one culprit when it comes to stomach problems and not feeling well (or number one now that gluten has been removed 😉 ), but sugar just makes everything taste better!! In recent months, I’ve started using Stevia in my recipes and drinks/cocktails, as a way of indulging in the sweet, without having to give in and use actual sugar, and I’m a total supporter of it.
Introducing Pyure Organic Stevia. An organic, Non-GMO, sugar free, calorie-free, vegan, gluten-free sweetener! Pyure‘s unique formulation only uses the sweetest part of the Stevia leaf so it tastes great, and it’s easy to use! Each product has a conversion chart making it easy to swap out sugar from any recipe. It’s great for baking, creating beverages, savory sauces, and healthy snacks…any recipe that needs a little sweetness! Pyure comes in an all-purpose blend, liquid Original & Vanilla flavor, Sugar-Free Maple Syrup and Sugar-Free Honey alternative, with more to come.
I’ve used Pyure’s classic blend Stevia for a while now in my matcha lattes, and it totally does the trick and gives my matcha the extra sweetness it needs. But like you all, I was most curious about the maple and honey flavored varieties! I mean, could it really be possible to taste like maple/honey, but not have the sugar? The answer is yes! First of all, I can have the Pyure Maple Stevia by the spoonful it is just so good! To test the power of Pyure’s flavored Stevia, I decided to make one of my favorite recipes, my Paleo Cacao Avocado Bread, but sub in Pyure Honey for actual Honey.
What You Will Need:
1 Cup Mashed Avocado (~1.5 small avocados)
3 T Melted Coconut Oil
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
3 T Pyure Organic Stevia: Honey
2 Eggs
2 Cups Almond Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 Cup Cacao Powder
Dash of Salt
The verdict? Just as delicious and flavorful as I expected it to be!
This weekend at Expo West I had the opportunity to sit down with Pyure’s Founder, Ben Fleischer, and chat more about his brand. He too, enjoys using Pyure in his drinks, but also brought up such an interesting point! Remember your childhood days when you drowned your pancakes in maple syrup? And then subsequently drove your parents crazy because you were on a crazy sugar high? Pyure’s maple stevia is a parent’s dream! Kids can experience the taste and flavor of maple syrup, all without the sugar rush, making this product totally parent approved.
Ben mentioned new flavors are on the horizon, as well as product expansion outside of the stevia blends. I’m super excited for Pyure to continue making its impression on our health and wellness community (can you believe they’ve been around for 10 years?!), and I’m excited to create awareness for this awesome company.
