Tasty, convenient, but huge listing quantity for a product that is not versatile
I'd like to start with a preface. Whatever brand or form you go with, please do switch to monk fruit sweetener! Do your body a favor. Easiest health tip in the world. After sleep, exercise, and diet, in that order, the best thing you can do to keep your body running smoothly is have a healthy gut. Not enough people focus on this. And in terms of gut health, sugar is the worst food. It destroys your gut biome by promoting the growth of harmful bacteria in it. As do some artificial sweeteners. (If you want foods that promote good gut bacteria instead, that would be fermented foods, like kefir, sauerkraut and kimchi.) Sugar also causes inflammation all over your body in general. As do a great number of artificial sweeteners. Enter monk fruit, which is not known to cause either of these bad effects; and has no artificial taste because it's a literal dried natural fruit; and has been happily used as a sweetener in Asia for a thousand years. Pay the extra few bucks, take care of your health, you only get one life!Now, as to this particular product: I like this product. I'm a sucker for both vanilla and monk fruit and to me its very tasty. Liquid drops also make it super easy to nail the portion you want every time. Just a few drops is plenty for anything, so although this is an expensive item in absolute terms, in relative terms you are getting a TON of this stuff in this listing.Keep in mind it's not versatile because there are things you'd want to sweeten without vanilla. It's best for your drinks like the description suggests. But plenty of us drink sweetened drinks daily, so it's plenty useful.I like the brand too. I've used plenty of their granulated versions in the past. Lakanto is like the big daddy in the monk fruit sweetener space in North America. It's the most reputable and easiest to find brand.To sum up: You don't have to have this product, unless you enjoy a lot of vanilla flavored drinks, but I definitely do recommend monk fruit, as well as this brand, as your go to sweetener.

Not a bad product
I am a stevia gal, have plants, dried leaves, etc. I've heard a lot of people rave about monkfruit extract and thought I'd give this a try. I did get this as a free sample to try and review because otherwise I would not pay this much to try out a product!I liked it. I sweeten my coffee and this works well for it. I like the bottle, I can keep one in my car and pack one in my computer bag for those instances when my coffee needs just a little more sweet. I also like that it is 0 WW points no matter how much I use. I wouldn't use this in baking, but when a beverage needs a little more sweet with a hint of vanilla, this does the job.

Best monk fruit I've ever tried
I'm a huge advocate for monk fruit, and--although these are priced much higher than I think they should be--the best-tasting monk fruit I've ever used (and I've tried more than a dozen).

Good to substitute for sugar
These Lakanto Monk Fruit Extract Drops Liquid Sweetener taste better than all other liquid sweeteners I've tried (and it's a lot). This says 3 drops is equal to 1 tsp of sugar. I would agree as the sweetness is comparable. If you haven't had monk fruit before, it can leave a slightly odd sweet taste in your mouth, but the aftertaste isn't gross like other fake sweeteners. This is good for substituting sugar.

Really good
This is a pretty amazing product. I have yet to find a 0 calorie sweetener that I like. Most of them have a really bad aftertaste. This one doesn't. It has a pretty decent vanilla taste that does not leave an unpleasant aftertaste in your mouth. A little does go a long way. I can only put one or two drops into something because of how sweet it is. The bottle says that three drops is a equal to a teaspoon of sugar and I believe it. This means you get about 200 drops per container which should last for a while.There are five ingredients in the product. You can pronounce all of them without an issue. The only thing that is an unknown is natural flavors but that doesn't worry me to much. According to the FDA there are no known side effects for using monk fruitThis is a good product. It does cover pretty much all of my sweetener needs. The only problem I have found is with coffee. It leaves a strange taste in your mouth. It isn't horrible but it is there. The only thing that you might want to do before you take the leap is get a smaller bottle before you get this. If you already like monk fruit this is definitely the thing for you. It will last you a really long time.

Not too sweet.
I was anxious to try this monk fruit sweetener after I heard that it tastes good and is good for you. I have been using acacia honey or coconut nectar in my decaf green tea. Both tasty sweeteners that are healthy. How does this monk fruit compare? Not that well, I am sorry to say. First, I used 20 drops, not 4, as suggested. Even then, the tea was not overly sweet. It had a slight vanilla taste to it. For a change, I will use it once in a while, but I will not be reordering it.

Weird Taste
This tastes weird. I would rather consume something unsweetened than use this product.

Healthy Sugar alternative
I have been doing the Keto diet on and off for a few years, so I am familiar with Lakanto monk fruit products as a sugar substitute. These vanilla-flavored drops are great and a little goes a long way with Lakanto Monk Fruit.Beware that monk fruit does have a sweet aftertaste that's hard to describe, so don't go overboard when using these drops but at least it is better than the nasty stevia flavor.
