Should you buy it?

Buy it if

  • Sugar-free without sucralose
  • Vanilla lattes
  • No sucralose or acesulfame potassium
  • Natural vanilla extract, per Monin

Skip it if

  • About 80 cents a serving, much dearer than the sucralose bottles
  • Less sweet than sucralose syrups, owners report
  • One flavor, no pump

The verdict

Monin lists the sweeteners as erythritol and stevia, with natural vanilla extract, and labels it zero calories per 1 fl oz serving, 25 servings to the 750 ml bottle. The Amazon listing's ingredient panel also names monk fruit extract, which Monin's own page does not, so check the bottle if that matters to you. It costs about two and a half times the sucralose bottles per serving. Owners who choose it usually do so because they dislike sucralose; the recurring caveat is that it is less sweet than the artificially sweetened syrups.
