In my 8 a.m. class, my professor always jokes that students are able to make it to Starbucks before his class, but somehow can’t find time to finish their homework. He shouldn’t’ take it personally though because SMU Collegiettes™ truly cannot survive without their Starbucks coffee. If we were stuck on a desert island, our necessities would probably be food, Facebook, and then Starbucks coffee. However, the only time we find ourselves hesitating to make that Starbucks run is when we think about the calories. Well, our Barnes & Noble Starbucks Cafe now has the answer: Truvia.
Truvia® is a zero-calorie all natural sweetener made of rebiana and is completely safe. The FDA has no objections and supports the safety of rebiana. It is even safe for diabetics because it does not alter your blood sugar lever. Just one packet of Truvia® natural sweetener provides the same sweetness as two teaspoons of sugar.
The best part of Truvia® is its honestly sweet taste. Unlike other sweeteners that either taste granulated or just too sweet, Truiva® had a clean, sweet taste. It is available in boxes of 40-count ($3.99), 80-count ($6.49) and 140-count ($10.99) packets at the Kroger, Whole Foods, and Target right by campus.
Still not convinced that Truvia® is the best tasting sweetener out there? Well, you might have actually used Truvia® and not have known it. Truvia® is used in vitaminwater10™, Sprite®Green, Kraft Crystal Light Pure, Dippin’ Dots© Chillz™, Powerade Play™, and Minute Maid Premium® Pomegranate Tea just to name a few!
