I Am Loving My Splenda Sweetened Tropical Punch Kool Aid, But Is It Too Good To Be True? Is This A No No On Induction. It Is Not Listed As Most Grown Ups Dont Get So Excited Over Kool-aid. I Do!! If Anyone Knows Let Me Know.

it should be fine as long as it just has splenda in it.

I love Kool-Aid too.

I really hope splenda kool-aid is ok.. cause that would sure help me alot. I hate water so I think I'm going to try it and see how it works for me. ;o)

I think you should be fine! My DH drinks it and hasn't had any issues. I prefer crystal lite to kool aid, but either is better than soda!

There are a few carbs in Splenda, something like 0.5g in 1tsp of the bulk stuff, and 1g in a packet that is the equivalent of 2tsp of sugar. So you might count that in your total, but otherwise if it satisfies you then do it. Anything is better than quitting this approach to eating because you can't stand it.

2 Liters/Quarts (8 cups) of Kool Aid requires about 1 cup of Sugar/Splenda. So, each cup [if made with Granular Splenda] would have 3g of Carbs, 6g for a 16 oz. Glass. That's a little too Carb Heavy IMHO, especially since I drink up to a Gallon (1 Gallon = 48g of Carbs) a day when I make it. So, I use Stevia Extract (No Fillers = No Carbs) and only the newer Kool Aid Packets (the ones with "Caffeine Free" printed in the Upper Right Corner.) The old packets contained Cornstarch.

Old Kool Aid (Cherry): Citric Acid (Provides Tartness,) Modified Cornstarch, Calcium Phosphate (Prevents Caking,) Red 40, Salt, Artificial Flavor, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C,) Blue 1

New Kool Aid (Cherry): Citric Acid, Calcium Phosphate, Red 40, Salt, Artificial Flavor, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C,) Artificial Color, Blue 1

Can't see why it wouldn't be okay. Just remember Splenda isn't carb-free. Kool-Aid takes 1 cup of sugar per package. I'm assuming it's one cup of Splenda as well. Of course, this can always be sweetened to taste.

Before I discovered Stevia, I used to mix Splenda and Sweet 'N Low 50/50 and use half the amount. I've also used Liquid Saccharine in the past, but the taste just isn't the same. Liquid Saccharine seems to work best when blended with some weak Stevia Extract [eg. NOW Brand.] I've tried Saccharine Tablets, but I had a hard time getting them to dissolve properly and they didn't seem to sweeten enough. Maybe if you mixed them with another sweetener, they might work better.
