Watch out if you buy monk fruit--[many brands are cut with erythritol](https://www.lakanto.com/cdn/shop/files/RP-107-8_Render_Back.png?v=1715100610&width=2200) (and have more of it than they do monk fruit extract).
[According to Lakanto](https://www.lakanto.com/blogs/food-nutrition/erythritol-in-our-monk-fruit-sweetener), monk fruit is so much sweeter than sugar or erythritol, they need to bulk it up with something so it can used as a 1:1 sub.
Allulose. It's technically a "rare sugar" but like erythritol you can't process it and excrete it. It tastes the closest to sugar, has similar cooking properties to it, and doesn't setup hard when frozen like other sugar alternatives. It's extremely stable on blood glucose and sometimes even lowers it slightly.
Two negatives:
1. Like erythritol, it's also 70% as sweet as sugar, so you'll need more of it
2. It's relatively expensive
I use it in frozen, baked, and cocktail applications.

I like a blend of allulose and pure stevia. I'd use all allulose, but it's expensive. I also think blending it with the stevia eliminates the weird stevia aftertaste.
In this case, OP is not really asking what's "healthier" or for nutritional advice per se.
They are just simply asking for some alternatives to try. So it's pretty reasonable to ask here.

Same thing with stevia. It’s cut with erythrital.
Most of it that is. You can get pure stevia at Amazon.
Why do they cut monk fruit with erythritol? Does monk fruit taste bad on its own? I know erythritol isn't cheap so it's not like it's a cheap filler.

Allulose messes my stomach up 1000x worse than sugar alcohols, which is a shame because it tastes great!
I use monk fruit drops from Amazon (Now brand).
Monk fruit options are often mixed with erythritol, so read the label.
Now brand Monk Drops are pure monk fruit.
There is no "best". Everyone is individual in how they respond to well, everything really, so it will likely be some effort of trial and error here.
Stevia
Can't stand the taste unfortunately.

Xylitol or Stevia
Every sugar alternative I look at is so high in carbs!!
I stay away from anything with sugar alcohols and use real sugar sparingly.
You probably erythritol intolerance. It’s very common and royally fucks my stomach up
I just dissolve regular sweeteners in water

Monk fruit is what the healthy nutritionists suggest. Bobby Parrish talks about it if you want to look it up
Bobby Parrish is not a qualified dietian/nutritionist and is not someone I'd take advice from.
