Botanically Sweetened

The botanical sweetener used to sweeten Lily's products is stevia. Stevia extracts are made from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana. Steviol glycosides within the plant are hundreds of time sweeter than sugar but without the calories. In addition to glycoside extracts, there are powdered, whole-leaf stevia products.

Lily's was born from wanting to cut sugar from the diet but still have delicious chocolate. The company has roots in helping people to eat better.

Lily's offers a printable coupon when you submit your name, email and birthday to them. You don't even have to opt in to their newsletters. On their website it says, "Enter your information below to get access to Lily's coupons!" What a sweet deal!

Monk Fruit Sweetened

Monk Fruit or luo han guo is the fruit of Siraitia grosvenorii, a perennial vine in the gourd family native Southern China and Northern Thailand. Much like stevia, the extract of monk fruit is hundreds of time sweeter than sugar without the carbs. Traditionally the fruits are sold dried for tea or soup. The sweetness of monk fruit comes from mogrosides, a compound that makes up only 1% of the fruit itself. Choc Zero uses their 'exclusive monk fruit formula' - trade secret!
