Through Heather's Looking Glass

Something Sweet and $100 Visa Gift Card Giveaway

| blogging, food, Giveaway, health

I have always loved the taste of sugar, candy, and delicious treats. As I am now 6 months post baby, I am really trying to focus on making more healthy choices and small changes that can add up to help me on my health an fitness journey. A big weakness of mine is flavored coffees and creamers. I can’t stand to drink coffee black, but as a new mom I am throwing back way more calories than necessary because I need something sweet in my cup… or multiple cups a day. Please tell me I’m not the only sweet coffee addict?!? IMG_3343 (2)
I recently realized this was an issue, so I was excited to learn about Born Sweet™ Zing™ Zero Calorie Stevia Sweetener. This stuff has been a lifesaver because it tastes good and is better for my post baby weight loss efforts by not adding a ton of extra calories to my multiple cups of coffee. (One packet is equal to the sweetness of two teaspoons of sugar). IMG_3339 (2) Zing™ is made with only real ingredients, extracting the sweetness found in Mother Nature’s stevia plant.  It has zero calories, and is easy to sprinkle in your coffee.  Or, you can sprinkle it on some fruit, even in a smoothie or in some tea. (You all know how much I love sweet tea!) I have always ALWAYS had a serious sweet tooth, and while I know it can lead to major temptations, it’s just something I have always struggled with. I can work out all day long, but when it comes to sweets I tend to overdo it. But as I’m trying to make small changes like this one, it will help me cut back on calories and still enjoy the sweet flavor I love.

    I would use this product in my iced tea. I just started drinking my tea cold and it just needs a bit of sweetness. How does Zing compare to other sweetners? Getting my sample next so I can try it out! Thanks!!

  13. Kerry Wright says

    I make green tea mixed with homemade lemonade, and it sounds like Zing would make it an even healthier option!

  14. Ana says

    I would try it in coffee, so many of the “good tasting” zero cal sweetners taste break down when hot so that would be my test. There are times that I hate that my taste buds can pick them out a mile away.

  16. Rachel says

    I’d be interested in trying this in my coffee. That’s where I use the bulk of my empty calories each day!

  17. Chelsea Dotter says

    This would be awesome in my morning tea! I’ve been drinking mango passionfruit tea recently and it would be so much better with a little natural sweetness!

  22. Kend4a Walton says

    I would definitely try it in my coffee! I currently use Splenda and always look for a better alternative.

  26. Analisa says

    I love making passion tea lemonade in the spring/summer and I think this would be a perfect match!

  29. Karen H says

    I’d put it in my iced tea! If only it would warm up enough for me to want a cold beverage…

  34. Kristi says

    Definitely in my coffee! I’m not much of a tea drinker, and like you, have to have my coffee sweet!

  36. Amanda says

    I would love to try this in ice tea – it is my drink of choice, and it HAS to be sweet! I love regular Stevia, so I’d love to try this! =)

  40. Danielle R says

    Perfect timing! I’ve cut out sugar and have been wanting to research alternative sweeteners for those times when I just can’t go without something sweet. I love sweetened iced tea, but as we get closer to summer my favorite treat is strawberries with sugar… on, in this case, Zing!

  41. Kim N says

    I recently started drinking matcha. When I liked to splurge, I like to mix matcha with milk and a packet of Splenda for an iced matcha “latte”. Would love to try this instead of Splenda.

  45. Nina says

    definitely in my iced tea- even though it’s still cold here, I’m dreaming of having some nice cold and sweet iced tea

  50. alicia szemon says

    i am most excited to mix Zing™ Zero Calorie Stevia Sweetener with my iced tea!!!

  52. Natalie says

    I would first mix Zing Zero Calorie Stevia Sweetener to my morning apple spice tea. It would also go very well in my hot chocolate for a sweeter, lower calorie option.

  56. Randi Cook says

    I gave up soda (pop). Instead I make a pitcher of Sweet Tea. This would be perfect for that!

  58. Becca says

    I would try it in my baking! I mean coffee would be my first choice but when h need just a tsp of sugar in some of the baking I would add this!

  65. Trish Avery says

    Definitely ice tea. I can do black coffee no problem, but haven’t quite managed to nix the sugar in my ice tea.

  69. Madeline says

    I’d try Zing™ Zero Calorie Stevia Sweetener in my coffee, and also in homemade lemonade.

  72. BreannaS says

    I am addicted to sweet coffee also. I had not heard of Zing until today and look forward to trying it out.

  79. Jessie C. says

    I am most excited to mix Zing Zero Calorie Stevia Sweetener into blueberry smoothie first.

    I would like to add Zing Zero Calorie Stevia Sweetener to my iced coffee for a refreshing summertime drink.

    I can’t wait to use this on my coffee 🙂 Being diabetic, I have to look for sugar alternatives and some just don’t do the job! So this would be great to try out 🙂

  135. Ashley C says

    I would love to try it with my chocolate banana smoothies I have for breakfast each morning!

  174. Rosie says

    I would be excited to try it in my orange juice! I get juice in half gallon containers, and it is too tart! I’d love to add Zing to sweeten it up, as I’m not going to add sugar!!

  175. Linda G. says

    I would like to try it in my hot tea and also my iced tea. I would really like to win this gift card, thank you for the chance.
