SweetLeaf Leads the Way in Flavored Drop Trend

Gilbert, AZ (PRWEB) October 23, 2012

More people are moving away from high sugar beverages and opting to exercise control in sweetening and flavoring their own drinks. SweetLeaf Stevia®’s 17 refreshing flavors of its zero-calorie, zero-carbohydrate SweetLeaf® Liquid Stevia Sweet Drops™ are available in stores nationwide and have already proven a big hit with consumers. Earlier this year, three new flavors – Coconut, Watermelon and Cola – were added to the popular liquid stevia product line.

Not only are the drops a hit with consumers, but Sweet Drops are gaining acclaim from food professionals as well! Chocolate Sweet Drops won a Best Taste Award from the World Stevia Organisation at its 2012 Paris ceremonies. Chocolate Sweet Drops also were awarded a 93 out of 100 possible points as a winning product for “intense, versatile taste that goes a long way with just a drop or two” by food trends editor, Today show correspondent and “supermarket guru” Phil Lempert.

Made with USDA Certified organic stevia leaf extract and natural flavors, SweetLeaf Liquid Stevia drops can be added to foods or beverages – from yogurt to oatmeal, water to coffee, sauces to smoothies – for sweet, sugar-free flavor. Adding Cola to sparkling water creates a healthier soda, a few drops of Watermelon in yogurt gives a fruit twist to a favorite, while Coconut perks up coffee, tea, milk and truly any food or beverage! Berry Sweet Drops combines with whey protein powder, frozen berries, ice cubes and water for a refreshing, invigorating and healthy smoothie! All 17 flavors of SweetLeaf Liquid Stevia come in easy-to-use dropper bottles, so consumers can add as much or as little as their taste buds require. With an average of 288 servings* per 2 fl. oz. bottle, SweetLeaf Liquid Stevia also offers great value in addition to a delicious sweet taste.

Along with the three new flavors, SweetLeaf Liquid Stevia is available in Lemon Drop, Valencia Orange, Berry, Chocolate Raspberry, English Toffee, Vanilla Crème, Hazelnut, Peppermint, Root Beer, Grape, Apricot Nectar, Chocolate, Cinnamon, and SteviaClear® for the sweet taste of sugar without the calories. SweetLeaf Liquid Stevia is available online at http://www.buywisdom.com or at select supermarkets and health foods stores.

To demonstrate how versatile Sweet Drops are, we offer this recipe from the SweetLeaf kitchens, just in time for holiday cooking:

Baked Apple Crêpes

Serves 12.

    ½ cup butter
    4 finely chopped apples
    20 drops Apricot Nectar Sweet Drops
    1 tsp. cinnamon
    1 tsp. ground nutmeg
    1 package cream cheese
    10 drops liquid SweetLeaf SteviaClear
    10 to 12 pre-made crêpes

In a saucepan, melt the butter. Add the chopped apples, Apricot Nectar Sweet Drops, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook down until apples begin to brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine the SteviaClear drops in a bowl with the cream cheese and whip until fluffy.

Place a spoonful of the apple and cream cheese mixture in each warm crêpe. Roll gently like a jelly roll. Serve and eat!
