Liquid Monk Fruit Extract Drops - Vanilla

I’ve been using Lakanto Liquid Monk Fruit Extract for years, and it has become a non-negotiable staple in my household. Every time it goes on sale, I stock up because a little goes *a very long way*. Just a few drops are all it takes to sweeten coffee, tea, yogurt, or even a batch of homemade whipped cream.What I love most is that it’s zero calories, with no weird aftertaste like some other sugar substitutes. The sweetness is clean and powerful—seriously, this bottle lasts forever because you only need the tiniest amount. It's perfect for anyone watching their sugar intake, following a keto lifestyle, or simply looking for a healthier alternative to processed sweeteners.I also appreciate the compact bottle and dropper, which make it easy to control how much you're using without any mess. I've tried other monk fruit drops, but this one has the best flavor and consistency by far.Highly recommend for anyone who wants a pure, natural sweetener that doesn’t compromise on taste or health.

I prefer to use natural non-caloric sweeteners, with Monk fruit and Stevia being my top options. The Lakanto liquid sweeteners are the best option for me; I tried the vanilla, lemon and regular/original version so far. I find that Monk fruit doesn't have the aftertaste Stevia sometimes has, and keeps better the sweetness and flavor when baking (or otherwise thermally processing the sweetened item).What made me purchase this product was the clean ingredient list (just water, monk fruit extract and flavors), since I dislike when brands`bulk` this type of sweeteners with glycerin or use alcohol. I just wished they would use actual vanilla and lemon extracts, not `natural flavors` (which can contain many odd fillers as long as they have one natural ingredient).The Lakanto Monkfruit sweetener has no bad aftertaste and doesn't cause me any digestive issue. It's quite a strong sweetener (a little goes a long way), while the sweetness and flavor is preserved no matter how I use it.The vanilla flavor is not the best, gourmet-like; it's plain and basic, but still enjoyable.The lemon flavor is absolutely amazing, a nice almost natural lemon taste that is further elevated by the monk sweetness.The regular (unflavored) has a slight aftertaste (but milder than Stevia), I think that the added flavor in the vanilla and lemon options makes them a little more palatable.I use the liquid Monk fruit to flavor and sweeten yogurts, overnight or cooked oats, pancakes/waffles, baked goods.I prefer my coffee black and I rarely drink smoothies and shakes, so I can comment on how it works for that. But I love the lemon flavor in teas and in plain water (with ice), I even mix it with electrolytes and/or BCAAs to make my own sports drink.I usually use a `squirt` per serving, shorter or longer depending on serving size or what other ingredients I use (e.g. if my oatmeal has also fruits, I'll use less). I definitely got less than 260 servings/uses, usually a bottle lasts me 2-4 months, depending on how often I use it (e.g. I use the Original on a regular basis, while the Lemon maybe 2-3 times a week).I don't monitor my glycemic index, so I can't make any statements on that; what I do notice is that I don't get a sugar rush.Regarding the packaging, I just keep the bottle at home, but I also did notice that the cap doesn't closes that well, so it might spill on the go. My biggest complain is that it only comes in a squeeze plastic tube, I would have preferred a glass bottle (maybe a larger size) with a dropper.The only thing I dislike is that Lakanto is notorious for having this product `Out-of-stock`; I'm basically hunting them periodically to make sure I buy when they are available; the `Lemon` is often available, the `Original` sometimes is not in stock for weeks, while `Vanilla` is available once in a blue moon (I have it permanently on e-mail notification).Note: I ordered multiple times (and I keep repurchasing), pictures might reflect older packaging.Note: I would advise everyone to make sure that the item is actually delivered by Lakanto; some versions of the product are sold by other vendors, some not that reliable on terms of shipment and product quality.

I drink espresso and I'm trying to get away from sugar that I normally add to it in the morning, tried this today and it tastes good, has a vanilla aftertaste. You definitely do not need a lot at all so it will last a long time.

Packed well no leaks. Flavor is great, but use sparingly to as it is super sweet! Great to too as to coffee, yogurt, & other drinks!

This has a pleasant vanilla taste, and it is sweet on the tip of your tongue but leaves a strong aftertaste on the palate that lingers. It drips out of the bottle too, not easy to count drops. I will use, but not buy again. Monk fruit is only good with Erythritol. I upgraded this to 4 stars because it turned out adequate in strong coffee.

It's not a bad product. It's sweet, the vanilla flavor is nice. But I'd rather go without sweetner in my coffee or tea, than use this stuff. It's essentially the same aftertaste I get with Stevia. I'm going to try it in some recipes other than beverages and see if that helps. Disappointed.

My husband is a diabetic and he keeps these drops in his lunchbox for his coffee. It’s so simple to carry and use. He likes the taste.

It’s ok has a little strange aftertaste I don’t like.
