Looking to replace sugar in your diet? Discover monk fruit, the natural no-sugar sweetener!
Over a thousand years ago in the remote mountain highlands of Asia, a group of Buddhist monks, called the Luo Han, achieved enlightenment through meditation, prayer and pure living. On the slopes of a primeval forest, the monks discovered and cultivated a rare fruit, prized for its sweetness. This sacred fruit was named Monk Fruit, or Luo Han Guo, after its devoted caretakers and was used in elixirs to raise chi, or life energy.
In 1995, Lakanto was created to help people around the world quit sugar, to lose weight, help control blood sugar, and live a healthier life.

Would love to trial this. Would use in baking and on cereal first. So many things this could be a swap for sugar in.
I would love the opportunity to try lakanto monkfruit sweetener as an alternative to other sugars sweeteners we have tried in an effort to reduce blood sugar levels to avoid worsening diabetes. Thank you
My daughter was recently diagnosed with ADHD and we were advised sugar is definitely something to cut down/out of her diet. She eats pretty clean anyway but definitely has a sweet tooth and misses the occasional treat. I’d love to try this to make her something simple like a home made biscuit, or muffin, even sprinkle some on her cereal! This would be great 🙂
I would really love to try this product ,I’m a bit of a sweet tooth and with diabetes in the family I like to keep my sugar intake down .ive tried many sweeteners before including stevia ,did not like them ,and they didn’t exactly agree with me ,I enjoy baking and love to make some diabetic friendly items for my elderly father ,yes please consider me ,I’d be very excited to trial this new and amazing sounding product.

Making sweet treats for my children.
Yes please I would love to try this for my family of 5, we have been trying very hard to cut out our sugar intake especially me as diabetes runs on my side of the family. Would love to try this as a healthier alternative I do alot of baking wich I halve the sugar content so this would be a great substitute and then i can add no sugar and still get the sweetness but in a healthier way.
My son who is 12 and highly addicted to sugar has just started a sugar detox. It would be nice for him to still enjoy some yummy home baking in his lunchbox with the help of this product.
It would be awesome to use this product as sugar is not good.
I do a lot of baking for the kids and would live to try a sugar alternative to make their treats healthier. Thank you for the opportunity!
This would be amazing. I am living the keto life style so absolutely no sugar in my diet. The only monk fruit sweetener I have found was at bin inn which was extremely expensive. The other alternate sweeteners are just not cutting it. Super sweet tooth and make many different treats on a weekly basis using sweetener and only keto friendly products. Many of my friends whom follow keto enjoy my baking too.
I would love to try Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener as I am trying to give up sugar all together. I have recently given up meat and am trying to eat healthier. My goal is to get the whole family eating sugar free .
I would love to trial this with my family. I do a lot of cooking and baking so this would be great to test out! Even as a substitute for sugar in my coffee 😊
This would be amazing to try I have given up sugar to help with my health and I’m really missing being able to have a nice biscuit with my coffee in the afternoon so thats what I would do with it
Because my husband is horrified that I have 3 teaspoons of sugar in my tea, I’d love to try this product. Anything to encourage me to cut down. Thanks
Yes please I would love to sample This product in home
We are always looking for ways to reduce
Our sugar intake
Certainly keen to give this a go. Sounds great.
I would love to try this product in baking as well as something for the kids to add to their cereal instead of sugar.
Since starting a Keto diet earlier this year it’s really opened my eyes up to the amount of sugar in mine and my child’s diet. I’d love to trial this product to cut down on the sugar yet still be able to enjoy some sweet treats 🙂
I love baking and have a real sweet tooth, so this would be great to try in my baking and in my hot chocolate or peppermint tea. Yes I put sugar in herbal tea!
Would love to give this a go I’m wanting myself and kids to cut back.on how much sugar we have. I’d use it in hot drinks and baking.
I would love !!!! To try this product – I am currently on a mission to reduce sugar from my children’s diet, I currently bake all there sweets so I know exactly what and how much goes into their food. This product looks amazing and so much better than all the chemical sugar substitutes
Also wonder how it would go in my coffee 🤔🤔 worth finding out I think 😜
Would love to try this! Have heard so much about it and currently trying plant based way of eating and this would be so helpful!!
I would love to try this product. My husband and I have stopped eating sugar and one thing I really miss is baking / sweet treats. I have seen so many recipes with monk fruit sweetener and I would be keen to give them a try. Especially a cheesecake or sugar free fudge!
I’d love to try this, I have tried to cut sugar in the past but have never found a replacement that I could handle the taste of, I’d rather go without than use any sugar replacements that I have tried in the past
This would be amazing. I’m not a big fan of sugar so tend to use artificial sweeteners.
I would use this in the families baking, weekend pikelets and as a substitutes for sugar as will all follow a sugar free lifestyle.
My husband would also use it in his morning coffee aswell so our whole family will benefit as his current sweetener has stevia as non stevia products are seemingly hard to find in shops
I would love to try this. Would try in my coffee and on my breakfast and even in baking
I would love to try this in our baking, I try to adapt recipes to use less sugar or replace with honey or maple syrup as I don’t like giving my kids too much refined sugar.
I would use this in some keto baking to try some new recipes.
I would love to review this product I have ulcerated classes a bell disease and have been told if I take sugar out of my diet it should help me but the idea of having no sweetness is hard so I would love to review this product and have a healthy option to sugar and also having a diet without sugar would be a lot better for me overall so the sounds like a product I need to try
I would love to give this a go. I’m trying to lose weight but have a massive sweet tooth, which is often my downfall. I am also put off by alot of artificial sweetener aftertastes. I’d use this product in hot drinks for myself and baking for the kids, particularly biscuits.
Oh this would be awesome. We have recently cut most sugar out of our diet but the kids still love their sugar in Milo’s and on their breakfast scooped on top of it. I would love to give them a healthy replacement which is going to be good for them and not rot out their teeth. I would also love to try this product in my baking rather than normal sugar as it states it tastes much the same so be interesting to give it a go and get back into baking without feeling like I’m eating a bowl full of sugar.
