SPLENDA ESSENTIALS : A Secret Weapon in the Cookin' Lean Kitchen -Review & Giveaway

When it comes to cleanin' up our acts, one of the first things to go are the sweets. I know, it breaks my heart too. Well, the good news is that SPLENDA No Calorie Sweetener Products make it possible to fight off the sweet tooth without totally giving up our favorite treats. This is why I refer to SPLENDA  as "my secret weapon".

Just when I thought cookin' and bakin' lean sweets with SPLENDA couldn't get any sweeter, they went and wowed me again! SPLENDA No Calorie Sweeteners have gotten a boost with their new line of SPLENDA ESSENTIALS!! What does this mean?!?! I'd be happy to tell ya!

This new boost means that I can still keep calories low in my favorite recipes, but now I can increase the good stuff with added fiber, B-vitamins and antioxidants!! That's right! The same great taste we love, plus a healthy boost of nutrients. I know....pretty flippin' sweet!


Recipe COMING SOON!
As many of you well know, I am personally not new to SPLENDA. I use it in quite a few recipe makeovers found around here; such as Banana Pudding, Ultimate Coffee Cake and Holiday Whoopie Pies. I like it because, well, it really helps cut down on calories and carbohydrates. But most of all, I like how easy it is to use in place of regular sugar. Just check out these healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies Kimber and I made this weekend using SPLENDA ESSENTIALS No Calorie Sweetener, 1 Gram of Fiber, Granulated (recipe COMING SOON)! Who says you can't bake with SPLENDA? I beg to differ. Here's proof!

SPLENDA also takes pride in the safety of their products. People are sometimes concerned with sugar substitutes, but SPLENDA is different. They use sucralose to sweeten, which has been rigorously tested and proven safe. Check out more facts on the SPLENDA SAFETY PROFILE. I was very happy to see this, since a few of you have asked me about these products in the past.

Thanks to an interview I had this past summer with RD and author, Heather Bauer, I have had plenty of time to scope out all of the fabulous recipes using NEW SPLENDA ESSENTIALS on the SPLENDA website. Heather kept referring to the recipes found there...and now I can see why! There are so many great recipes to pull inspiration from. Try anything, from Chocolate Pudding with Strawberries and Banana Walnut Pancakes to Grapefruit Raspberry Sparklers and a Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Bowl.

With all this talk about how great these sweeteners are, wouldn't it be nice to have some SPLENDA ESSENTIALS to test out on their recipes and maybe some of your own?!?!?

  7. Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and
    gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put
    the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched
    her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but
    I had to tell someone!
