We love Natvia sweetener and understand that it can be difficult to find in other countries (it is available on Amazon worldwide through the link above). If you cannot get your hands on it we recommend granulated Erythritol for the loaf and powdered Erythritol for the icing.

Hi! I was wondering what can be substituted for the natvia icing mix. I’m excited to try this!
Thank you for posting it with both conversions!
Hi Andrea,
You can use your preferred powdered or confectioners sweetener.

Hi! I’m brand new to the Keto diet. Most other recipes like this have called for Swerve sweetener… Is it ok to swap the Natvia for Swerve?
Thanks!
Hi Valerie,
We don’t have swerve in Australia, but you can certainly swap out any sweetener we suggest for one that you prefer. I hope that helps.
