While the health benefits are mostly the same regardless of what candy you order, the flavors are vastly different. So with that in mind, what sort of flavor are you in the mood for? Do you want a sweet, berry flavor? There’s an option for that. Do you like the slightly more bitter flavor of licorice? There’s a good choice for you. Do you like the strong flavors of sour candy? There are a few different routes you can go. Perhaps you even want to choose two or three different flavors to try, and these candies are affordable enough that you can try a few different varieties without breaking the bank.
Another thing to think about is how many you want to buy. Most of these candies are sold in 1.8 ounce bags and can be purchased in a six-count or a 12-count. Each bag is one serving, and typically the shelf life once you purchase is around one year before the item should not be eaten. You’ll want to think about how often you eat candy before buying in especially large quantities, as you wouldn’t want your candy to go bad before you’re able to eat it all.
The last thing to consider is if these candies are a good idea for you if you are on a Keto diet. While they are a good low-sugar option, they can sometimes spike your sugar high enough to lead your body out of the ketosis that is the goal of a Keto diet. If you’re sticking to a strict Keto diet, you might want to limit your intake of these candies or cut down on a typical serving size to make sure you don’t limit the desired effects of your diet.
A: Typically, these candies have 85-95% less sugar than comparable flavors on the market, or around 3 grams of sugar per serving. Each serving contains between 60 and 110 calories. They are naturally flavored with no sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners added. They are certified vegan made with non-GMO prebiotic fiber, and many options are plant-based. You’ll also notice that the serving size is one bag, so you won’t have to worry about stopping yourself after a certain point or keeping track of what percentage you’ve eaten.
A: SmartSweets was founded by Tara Bosch. She has experienced first-hand how a love affair with candy can turn into an unhealthy relationship with food, and how excess sugar intake can have a negative effect on your health. She noticed how eating less sugar only led her to crave sugar even more, which made her wonder if it would be possible to kick sugar while still eating candy. She experimented with different recipes at home for months, and eventually created a delicious candy without any of the sugar. She now shares this same recipe with countless others in the form of SmartSweets brand candy.
