Lakanto Liquid Monk Fruit Extract Drops, Original, Erythritol Free Sugar Substitute Sweetener For Coffee, Tea, Smoothies, Oatmeal, Yogurt, Cocktails, Sugar Free, Vegan, Keto, Zero Sugar (1.76 Fl Oz)

Great purchase! I have been trying to cut back on sugar but I have a massive sweet tooth! I was also looking for something natural as opposed to highly processed. These Monk Fruit Extract Drops were the perfect product to stumble upon! Here are a few reason's why I love them: *They have a natural, unprocessed taste that does NOT leave a gross residue in your mouth *They are not overly sweet, which helps keep my sugar addiction in check *They are healthier than several other artificial sweetners on the market *They EASILY dissolve into drinks, yogurts, tea's, etc. *This little bottle will go a LONG way - it has over 50 servings! Overall, I am completely satisfied with the taste and quality of these drops. I will definitely be buying these again in the future.

I finally found the one. Yes, it’s expensive, but a little goes a long way and it doesn’t have erythritol! It’s absurdly hard to find pure monk fruit without it being mixed with something else. This is as close as you’re going to get to pure. At this point, after using it for months in my tea, cottage cheese and even baked goods, I am sold and I just put it on subscribe and save to cut that 50 cents out. Every little bit helps. I can’t stand stevia aftertaste and this has barely any in comparison. To me, I find it very slight and not bothersome. If you overdo the sweetening, you will obviously have a stronger aftertaste. I add about 5-6 ish drops in my tea? They come out fast, so I do wish there was different packaging, perhaps a glass bottle and dropper like another user suggested. But if that will drive up costs a lot, I’d rather the plastic. If you rise it to like 11.50, I would do it, but anything more and I probably won’t. Also, please stop creeping up the price. I beg of you. It’s already steep. Love, a thankful customer. I might just try to add it to an amber glass bottle myself. If anyone does that before me, please update your review ! I’d love to hear how it worked out. 💪

I prefer to use natural non-caloric sweeteners, with Monk fruit and Stevia being my top options. The Lakanto liquid sweeteners are the best option for me; I tried the vanilla, lemon and regular/original version so far. I find that Monk fruit doesn't have the aftertaste Stevia sometimes has, and keeps better the sweetness and flavor when baking (or otherwise thermally processing the sweetened item). What made me purchase this product was the clean ingredient list (just water, monk fruit extract and flavors), since I dislike when brands`bulk` this type of sweeteners with glycerin or use alcohol. I just wished they would use actual vanilla and lemon extracts, not `natural flavors` (which can contain many odd fillers as long as they have one natural ingredient). The Lakanto Monkfruit sweetener has no bad aftertaste and doesn't cause me any digestive issue. It's quite a strong sweetener (a little goes a long way), while the sweetness and flavor is preserved no matter how I use it. The vanilla flavor is not the best, gourmet-like; it's plain and basic, but still enjoyable. The lemon flavor is absolutely amazing, a nice almost natural lemon taste that is further elevated by the monk sweetness. The regular (unflavored) has a slight aftertaste (but milder than Stevia), I think that the added flavor in the vanilla and lemon options makes them a little more palatable. I use the liquid Monk fruit to flavor and sweeten yogurts, overnight or cooked oats, pancakes/waffles, baked goods. I prefer my coffee black and I rarely drink smoothies and shakes, so I can comment on how it works for that. But I love the lemon flavor in teas and in plain water (with ice), I even mix it with electrolytes and/or BCAAs to make my own sports drink. I usually use a `squirt` per serving, shorter or longer depending on serving size or what other ingredients I use (e.g. if my oatmeal has also fruits, I'll use less). I definitely got less than 260 servings/uses, usually a bottle lasts me 2-4 months, depending on how often I use it (e.g. I use the Original on a regular basis, while the Lemon maybe 2-3 times a week). I don't monitor my glycemic index, so I can't make any statements on that; what I do notice is that I don't get a sugar rush. Regarding the packaging, I just keep the bottle at home, but I also did notice that the cap doesn't closes that well, so it might spill on the go. My biggest complain is that it only comes in a squeeze plastic tube, I would have preferred a glass bottle (maybe a larger size) with a dropper. The only thing I dislike is that Lakanto is notorious for having this product `Out-of-stock`; I'm basically hunting them periodically to make sure I buy when they are available; the `Lemon` is often available, the `Original` sometimes is not in stock for weeks, while `Vanilla` is available once in a blue moon (I have it permanently on e-mail notification). Note: I ordered multiple times (and I keep repurchasing), pictures might reflect older packaging. Note: I would advise everyone to make sure that the item is actually delivered by Lakanto; some versions of the product are sold by other vendors, some not that reliable on terms of shipment and product quality.

It is a great product, my only complaint is that it is somewhat difficult to control how much comes out. I love the liquid aspect because it incorporates easily in pretty much anything. It seems as if it will last a while since it only takes a couple of drops.

I love sweet things, and always have. BUT I've been having a hard time with sugar lately, and it seems like I end up not feeling good after I eat it. I've been trying different options, but most of them leave a funky aftertaste. Stevia is better than most, and I have a monkfruit powder that I use in my ninja creami that's pretty good. This monkfruit is nice, because it doesn't contain erythritol like most brands. The erythritol has a strange taste and makes my tongue cold. This is a liquid, so it mixes right into my tea, and a few drops does the trick. A little goes a long way.

If you try to take your electrolyte powder on a trip with you, IN ITS NORMAL CONTAINER, you're going to get pulled out by TSA every time. It's the same when you use monk fruit sweetener (powder) instead of sugar. TSA is all over it, and you get delayed at each airport you fly out of. So, now we buy electrolytes in the small stick form, but what about the monk fruit? Would I have to use regular sugar and blow my glucose numbers out of the water? Lakanto saved the day. I've used their allulose powder on occasion and like it, then saw this little beauty. 260 servings and only 1.76 ounces. It tastes good but it's not allulose...instead they use erythritol. I normally don't add that to my diet but went with it here for convenience purposes...and... TSA never flagged it once. No sugar, no TSA hassles. That makes this a big winner for me.

I've recently had to cut back on my sugar intake for a while, so I was looking for alternatives. I ended up going with the Lakanto sweetener. I use this liquid for drinks and the Lakanto Monkfruit crystals with erythritol for baking. I really like the liquid sweetener. I hate stevia. No matter what brand I try, I just can't get around that bitter and licorice taste. I even bought a non-bitter brand and it still tastes awful. It ruins whatever drink I put it in. This monk fruit sweetener does not have an aftertaste like stevia. It does taste slightly different from sugar, but it's much more palatable for me than other sugar alternatives. Splenda tastes okay, but gives me stomach upset if I have more than a teaspoon or so. I also tend to avoid aspartame and Sucralose, so I was very excited when I tried the monk fruit sweetener. I use the Lakanto Liquid Monkfruit Sweetener all the time for my tea and beverages. I put maybe 3-7 drops, depending on what I'm drinking. If I add lemon to my tea, I add more. If I'm just drinking a jasmine tea or green tea, I might have 3-4 drops. If you don't like your tea or coffee as sweet, 2 drops would probably suffice. My only complaint is that this sweetener is on the expensive side, but since you're only using a few drops at a time, it does last a while. I highly recommend it for anyone who hates stevia, but needs to reduce their sugar intake.

This is working out quite well, especially with cold beverages. Not as sweet as what I am used to, but I'll get used to it.

Very Nice

Excelente producto. Es solamente monk-fruit y no deja ese saber. Es maravilloso y lo volveré a comprar cuantas veces lo necesite.

I had high high hopes I really wanted to love this. But it tasted HORRIBLE and wasn’t really sweet. I couldn’t drink my coffee or have my oats after I’ve used it which was pretty disappointing

It has a horrible aftertaste

Not good with tea
