Savings in Seconds thanks Wholesome Sweeteners for their generous prize package. One lucky winner will receive a basket full of truly Wholesome Sweeteners! Retail products including Fair Trade Organic Sugar, Sucanat, Light Brown Sugar, Dark Brown Sugar, Powdered Sugar, Organic Turbinado and their newest Organic Coconut Palm Sugar will be in the basket. The winner will also receive liquid sweeteners which include Fair Trade Organic Raw and Amber honey and Organic Light, Raw and Flavored Agave Syrups. This prize package is valued at $100.00.
I received these products to sample (not the basket, stuffed toy, and crayons pictured in back) and we’ve been enjoying the variety of flavors in the wholesome sweeteners. There are so many sweeteners that I haven’t heard of. We had never tried the agave syrups before, and I definitely didn’t know it came in so many flavors!! One thing that I really liked about Wholesome Sweeteners’ products is that they are Fair Trade Certified. I also don’t have to worry about icky chemicals in my sweeteners, because the products are USDA Organic and contain no GMO. Wholesome Sweeteners has been able to bring water, electricity, education and health care facilities in developing regions of the world including Malawi and Brazil. My husband asked me about the Fair Trade labeling so this gave me a chance to discuss it with him. Fair Trade products enable the farmers who provide the goods to buy land, send their children to school, and build thriving communities where they work and live. In short, Fair Trade means exactly that—everyone in the trade benefits. Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? You can support this initiative by purchasing Fair Trade products from Wholesome Sweeteners.
Here are the products we received from Wholesome Sweeteners:
We couldn’t believe how many flavored agave syrups there were. So far I haven’t been too daring with my creations. I used the sugar on my fresh fruit and in my morning hot tea. Divine!! We only used a bit of the sugar but it made the most delicious syrup at the bottom of the bowl. My kids ate every one of the berries. My daughter likes the organic honey on her morning pancakes. I also plan to use some of the sugar on our zucchini muffins (as soon as our zucchini is ready to pick!) and maybe the agave syrups to make snowcones for the kids. I’m thinking about trying the stevia in my sweet tea and possibly even koolaid, because I’m really trying to cut down on the amount of refined sugar my family consumes. Doctor’s orders, plus mommy guilt!
Save some green: The good people at Wholesome Sweeteners have provided you with a $1 coupon toward a purchase of Fair Trade Organic Raw and Amber honey. You can follow Wholesome Sweeteners on Facebook and on Twitter.

I am always looking for new sweeteners & these look just fine. I could use these to make syrups to sweeten tea. Did you know you can melt together sugar & water with rosemary to make rosemary lemonade?

For myself for baking
This prize is going to be divided among myself and my mother in law who loves to bake. My hubby said that the Organic Turbinado is his to keep – emscout9 at Hotmail dot com
Not only does it look like they have some delicious products, but wow, those recipes. Brown sugar ice cream is making me drool, just thinking about that. Of course, it is 90 degrees here today, so perhaps I’m a bit biased 😀
i’d love to try the organic honey. I’d use it on ice cream.
Agave intimidates me for some reason but really want to try baking with it!
I have so, so many thoughts on how I would use these sweeteners. I would love to make some healthy french toast casserole using the sweeteners and cinnamon. Healthy Peanut Butter Cups. oh I could go on and on and on 🙂

I like that WS is a category leader in Fair Trade Certified, organic and natural sugars, syrups, nectars and honeys produced from nature’s best resources. I also like that they have and are willing to provide you with a USDA Organic Certificate.
I’d really love to experiment with these sweeteners. I’d use them in baking and in other types or recipes, like smoothies.
I would use these sweetners in oatmeal and in my baking.
If I were to win, I would use it to help my family eat healthier. Natural sweeteners are better than sy.synthetic or processed, and organic/natural foods healthier than processed/milled/bleached foods..

I’d like to try the Fair Trade Certified Organic Molasses
I am a newbie. I haven’t ever heard of the company,but I would love to win this and give them a try.
I love to bake….we have a garden for the first time this year and I am trying to find ways to use all of our fresh veggies!! Made homemade zucchini bread yesterday and tweaked the recipe to make it healthier!!
I would try it on my morning oatmeal and share with my family.
would love this basket and I’m always looking to curb my sweet tooth the healthy way since I am pre-diabetic.
I would share with my mom and my sister and we would all create delicious treats.
I just found out I am diabetic so I would love to win this.
I love to bake and IM always looking for new and healthier additions. I’d like to try Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Raw Blue Agave or stevia.
We are a family of diabetics and know the value of sweeteners without the effects of artificial stuff…I would share the basket contents with my family members so we could all enjoy them!
There are quite a few items in that basket I have yet to try. I’d love to though! I’ve tried a couple but I’m interested in finding a great fit for the fam! Something we all will like and enjoy as an alternate to sugar. We barely eat sugar but when we do I’d love for it be a good sugar. I know sugar doesn’t have a great affect on me. It makes me feel horrible if I have more than just a tiny bit, but from what I have been reading I guess that is or should be the norm.
i am a baker so this would be a great way for me to make some more sweet things and still keep them healthy
I’m hypoglycemic, my doctors have threatened me with insulin 31 years. I’ve been very careful, following a strict diet and exercise program to keep it at bay, but I still love my “sweets”, so all of this would be nice for me…
I would love to try any of these products and I LOVE that they are Fair Trade certified!
Id love to try some alternatives to our “normal” sweeteners.. i just never know what to try!
Would love to use them in baking and tea and anywhere else to replace sugar.
I love to bake so I would use these products to bake some delicious and healthy treats.
Have just now tried agave sweetner and really loved it…Can not wait to try other flavors. Marie
the recipes sound wonderful – brown sugar ice cream!
My friends and I could do some baking!
I have never used this product so I am looking forward to winning so I can try the alternative sweeteners out.
I’d like to try the organic stevia in my chocolate chip cookies
I’d LOVE to win this and restock my baking cabinet!
