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.

We would love to try Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener Classic. Our family try to have a low sugar diet and use natural sweeteners like honey & rice malt syrup. I’m interested to see how this cold be used in baking and would love to try thanks.
Would love to try this out in baking for the kids lunches
I like the sound of keto friendly also trying to loose weight
Would love to try this as iam a diabetic and because of my sugar intake with having diabetes it not only affects my body but how I go about my day, this would be awesome to try
As a type 2 diabetic I am always trying to find alternative sweetners. I would love to try this product.
Yum, would love to try this! I like to bake for my children and family so this would be a great alternative product to sugar to try out some of my favourite recipes.
Would love to try this. I’m living off homemade lactation cookies at the moment to keep my supply up, would love to reduce the sugar in this!
I would love to give this product a go. I am trying to cut my sugar intake and I think this would be a great help especially for some healthy snack options
Good Day – I would love to try this in the kids’ school baking for their lunchboxes. Please consider me, thanks 🙂
My kids love sugar and I don’t like giving it to them because diabetes runs on both sides of the family, it would be great to be able to substitute out sugar in everything for them especially if it ls all natural! 😊
My whole family follow a keto lifestyle and sugar is the hardest thing to substitute! I’ve heard that monkfruit is a great option but I haven’t had the chance to try it yet. I would love to use it to make my almost 2 year old a birthday cake! I’m sure it would bake beautifully and create lovely butter cream. I can’t wait to tell the other mums that it’s sweetened with Lokanto monkfruit not sugar.
I’m really interested to try this product please, I do a lot of baking for my kids and use a few different sugar substitutes already (some natural, some not). I would love to use the Monkfruit Sweetener in muffins to see how it goes not only with taste but with texture. Regular sugar can help a lot with texture in baking, so to have an alternative that can have the taste and texture qualities with a better nutritional profile would be great! I’d also try it in a savoury option like spaghetti bolognese where I usually use a little bit of sugar to balance the tomatoes. This would give a really good idea of aftertaste. I could try it when I make caramelised onions too!
I would love to try this as I have recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and I am struggling to find a sugar substitute that both my 7 year old and I like.
It would be brilliant to use for school baking as well as for home.
I would really love to trial this product. As a busy teacher I find myself too often reaching for sugary foods as a pick me up during the day. I would be able to make homemade yogurt with this healthy sweetener to snack on. I would also like to try it out as a sweetener in my coffees. And in my breakfast porridge as a healthier alternative to brown sugar.
Doing Keto diet and would love to try this. Have heard very good reviews about the product
Looking for an alternative to sugar in my baking.
I’d make a chocolate almond cake for my son’s upcoming birthday and use this as the sweetener! I’ve been avoiding sugars for 18 months and have been trying to lessen it in my kids’ diets. It’d be lovely to be able to enjoy birthday cake with the kids, guilt free!
I would love to try this in my baking. I’m always trying to make baking for my kids healthy but that still tastes great.
I am a sugar addict!!! I’d love to replace sugar with something less bad for me but still tastes great!!! I’d love to lose a few kilos so this might be the ticket!!!!! Awesome!
Would live to try and replace sugar in my diet, my metabolism has slowed down and I’m feeling sluggish all the time
I’ll use in my coffee. I use sugar mostly with coffee. tried to cut sugar several times with no luck
Oh this would be great to try, I need to cut down my sugar in tea and Milo – but it just tastes so good!
I would love to cut down on sugar but I am having trouble finding a replacement that I enjoy, I would love to try this to see if it will work for me!
Hi there. I would like to try this product because I am diabetic. This will be much helpful to me in foods that I eat replacing normal sugar with this new product. It will help me control my diabetes and overall, good for my health and the health of my entire family. thanks.
Our family would love to try this product as we are trying to cut out as much sugar as we can but a sweet et to replace this would be amazing.
This would be great for my family to try, I am not a big fan of sugar and I would prefer a better alternative for my boys. Would be awesome to try this and see if it is right for our family
We are trying to be a no sugar household and would live to try this product as an alternative to all the artificial sweeteners full of toxic chemicals
I would love to try this and I will take it to my work place to share with my work mates, they would love this too 🙂
I would love to try this Lokanta Sweetner. I joined a gym in November but struggling to shift any baby weight because of my diet. I work full time and have 2 little ones so usually just snack on the go. I would love to make some tasty baking and use this instead of normal sugar.
Would love to use this for kids lunch box baking!
I’d love to try this for my family! My kids & my partner always seem to taste the difference when I try other sweeteners & they turn their nose up so I’m currently on the look out for something more natural that they will actually enjoy. So please pick me!
I would love to try this product! I love to use sugar replacement wherever I can and often use stevia powder. I’d love to try something new and see how it can work for our family!
