Today, on Trim Healthy Tuesday, I’m sharing a favorite THM tip…this is my purse sized stevia container that travels with me everywhere. Where did I find it?
The Dollar Tree! It was in a 4 pack, and was filled with…
GLITTER!!! But I saw the potential! So I bought a pack of the glitter shakers, and 2 packs of salt shakers, and went to work.
Not being one to waste good glitter, I dumped it into the salt shakers, and added it to our craft supplies. If you have craft minded school kids, the glitter in a salt shaker thing is fun and convenient. And messy, but that’s half the fun. Walking around sparkling for the rest of the day is the other half of the fun. 
After washing out the vial and lid, and letting it completely dry, I filled it with Stevia. You can see how tiny the holes are here.
Thank you, my 3 year old Viking child for turning off auto-focus on Mommy’s camera. You’re SO great at finding obscure buttons! (I think he’s gifted.)
I keep this in my purse, and am always ready if I decide to have a cup of coffee, or I can sweeten up unsweet tea, or even water with lemon in a pinch.
I’ve never had it spill in my purse, but I do hold the lid down when opening the flip cap, because it can pop the top off sometimes. This has been SUCH a convenient little way to stay on plan, and enjoy drinks out at restaurants, or when out and about.
I don’t know about you, but when I’m out and about, I like to dab on just a touch of glitter.
WOW!!! Now I need to go to the Dollar Tree. Or wait – I have a small Real Salt container about the same size. Maybe I’ll just empty and use that. I was carrying small stevia packets in my purse but this is BETTER!
This is a really great idea! I usually take one of the small bottles of concentrated Stevia drops, but your idea is way less expensive! Thanks for sharing!

Love your web page. Found my ‘sprinkles’ containers at Dollar General yesterday. Thanks for the tip!
Fun! 🙂
total newbee question, but why not use truvia that comes in packets? Or is Stevia better?
I don’t love the taste of Truvia, so I stick with stevia. Just depends on what you enjoy and want to use.
Hah! Great little article! Loved the clincher!!! Coming from a homeschooling mom of nine: yours is a blog I would love to read if I had time to read (said matter-of-factly, not sadly.) Someday 😉
This is a great idea!! However, I would definitely leave this at home if you need to go through any type of security.
Ha! For sure. 🙂
In that case, I’d just go with the packets.
