Troop Truvia Joins the Fight Against T1D

in ,

Truvia® Natural Sweetener is excited to partner with JDRF with the goal of helping to cure, better treat, and prevent type 1 diabetes(T1D).  Truvia makes sweet moments better by providing zero-calorie sweetness from the sweetest part of the stevia leaf, with little to no effect on blood glucose or insulin.

To engage with the JDRF community, Truvia will be participating in the JDRF One Walk on February 23, 2019 as a Sponsor and Walk team – Troop Truvia. Visit the Truvia brand table in the Vendor area to learn how the natural sweetener can play a role in a healthy, balanced diet and take home some sweet samples.

To fuel up for the walk, try making a Truvia Rolled Oats and Coffee breakfast smoothie or visit Truvia.com/recipes for more reduced and sugar-free recipe inspiration!
