Earlier this week, we gave you the scoop on calories in popular pies and shared a healthy recipe for pumpkin pie. Turns out, the gals over at Does This Blog Make Us Look Fat? have also had their eye on pie this week. They even had their own pumpkin pie tasting before T-day – using a new zero-calorie sweetener!
There’s a new zero calorie sugar substitute on the market called Truvia. It’s made from rebiana which is a part of the stevia leaf. Manufacturers say it’s 200 times sweeter than sugar. Truvia aims to offer a natural alternative to other sugar subsitutes on the market. Truvia sent us a sample since we’re always interested in ZERO CALORIES!
In honor of the Thanksgiving holidayI have a pumpkin pie recipe that works nicely with sugar substitutes. I made one pie with Splenda and the other with Truvia and then unscientifically taste tested them.
Want the results? And the recipe? Get both right here!
This looks so yummy, I want to eat the picture! 
I want to try it! Problem is – I’m not much of a baker, so maybe KiKi can send me a slice? Please?! We usually go for some yummy store-bought pumpkin pie at our holiday gatherings. So, I’m wondering – do you bake your own pies or buy them for Thanksgiving? And do you go for the low-cal… or the real deal?
I don’t eat pie very often, so when I do – it’s the real deal.
I stay away from artificial sweeteners, so when I do want something sweet, I make sure that I get the best taste bang for the calorie buck.
My DH makes pies, and sometimes he will use stevia or splenda.
I am interested in the Truvia, will have to try it.
