I partnered with Born Sweet™ Zing™ Zero Calorie Stevia Sweetener to bring to you some of my favorite stevia recipes and an awesome giveaway that Zing™ is sponsoring for YOU! I have been using stevia for many years to sweeten our drinks and snacks and I especially like Zing™ because it’s made with only real ingredients — nothing artificial, and has a perfect sweet taste. Stevia sweetener is derived from extract of the stevia plant, so it naturally sweetens drinks and food without adding calories or artificial ingredients. Below are some of my favorite ways to sweeten my day with Zing™.
Our mornings are made up of coffee, smoothies, and coffee. Did I just say that twice? Yeah, we like our cup ‘o joe. My favorite coffee drink to make with stevia is a Skinny Vanilla Latte. You can customize the ingredients to your taste but what makes it “skinny” is the skim milk and the no calorie stevia. I added an image with the recipe I use so that you can pin it for later. You know I drank that cup of goodness right after I shot this picture… yum!
Well, coffee is in first place but in at a close second are smoothies. I try to teach my kids to eat their veggies but truth is, I am still trying to learn myself. I sneak in some healthy kale into this strawberry smoothie and the kids (and me) love it! Of course, I add a few packets of stevia sweetener to cover-up any bitterness from the kale and we are left with sweet yumminess. Tip: When I buy strawberries in bulk, I freeze half of them for smoothies and I leave the rest in the fridge for snacking.
This one is for you so I dressed it up with a strawberry. Don’t say I never gave you anything.
This simple snack is my kid’s favorite! I simply mix some 2% Greek yogurt with 2 packets of Zing™ Zero Calorie Stevia Sweetener and I cut up some strawberries.
I then dip them into the yogurt/stevia mix and I place them on a tray lined with parchment.
Then they go into the freezer for a few hours. I don’t make too many at once because I will usually make it for an after-school snack and they all get gobbled up.
And they come out looking like this. Kids will want to eat them asap.
No, really. I was barely able to take the finished-product pictures before my little taste-tester attacked the plate!
Those are some of my favorite ways to use Zing™ Zero Calorie Stevia Sweetener. What are yours? Look for Zing™ in the Sweetener Aisle at mass merchandisers and grocery stores nationwide!

Heather says
We make smoothies 3-4 days a week, but I’ve never thought to add sweetener. I bet I could pack a lot more spinach in there if I were adding some sweetener too 😉
Kendra Nay says
Love Stevia. Use it in my Chai, smoothies and oatmeal. Among other things.
carolyn clifton says
I want to use it in my iced-tea.
Joan says
O, this is a good idea. I will use Zing stevia first in Almond Milk….heated with vanilla, cinnamon and some of the Zing for sweetening. In the summer this would be good
cold. Whirred up in the blender with some ice.
Loved your idea of dipping the strawberries in the sweetened yogurt and then freezing them.
Rosie Areola says
Well I was going to say in my daily iced coffees but…now I first want to try it with your Skinny Vanilla Latte recipe!

Stephanie says
Is it just me and my kids or am I missing something because we could pick up on the artificial sweetner taste totally. I want to keep this as a regular thing, but honey (with its more calories) tastes better to me…any thoughts??
Maria says
Stephanie, I do like honey in my tea but I don’t use it for everything because the calories add up. I didn’t detect an artificial taste in stevia when adding it to smoothies or the recipes above. I would assume that every brand of stevia sweetener is a bit different. Also, I usually only add a packet (maybe 2).
