Foods/drinks made with Stevia
There are not alot of foods made with Stevia right now. Mostly because Aspartame is alot cheaper. I know about drink mixes..but if you like, you can make kool aid without the sugar and add the stevia..or splenda yourself.
Yes, RNY worked for me but it also requires a lot of work from me!

My husband works in the food industry and Stevia/Truvia were only JUST approved for commercial use.
So it's not likely that you will find much out there for a while. Companies have to spend $$$ and time on product development, reformulation, and quality control in order to add Stevia products to their lineup.

My local Walmart just added 3 flavors of the Walmart brand drink mix, like Crystal Lite, that a Stevia based ( no aspartime or splenda in them ), a few more carbs and cals then the non-stevia ( I think 15cals and 4 carbs per serving)...I tried it and liked it - however, it is MUCH sweeter to me then Splenda or Aspartime flavored ones, so be aware...You get 1/2 the number of packets for the same price ( $1.98?)...
good Luck

I use Stevia and stevia based product.
I use Emergen_C lite vitamin mixes and add a bit of stevia to it. 36 packages, on line app $8.
Not only I get extra vitamins and minerals but get nice drink.
Adding a bit of lemon juice and the stevia, makes a good lemonade.
As for food:
There are a lot of protein powders that use stevia: my favorites _ I have 2:
- About Time Whey - whey protein isolate - lots of great flavors
- MRM brand - they have 2 whey concentrate - naturals: French Vanilla and Dutch Chocolate. Like them a lot.
They even start making some protein bars: Power Crunch bars - not only taste like a candy - but most of them are made with stevia (check the inheritance)
I usually shop at Vitacost.com or Luckyvitamins.com. Both sites have great prices...
