SmartSweets reviews and discussion

I have trying to reduce my sugar as you find it in just about everything these days. I do like a sweet treat every now and then so finding candy that has such low sugar is a win for me. These are by no means the best candy in the world, but a good alternative.

I tried their Tropical Sours Gummy Candy and I was not a fan. The sour taste was more like a rancid kind of flavor. The sweetness was pretty much nonexistent and the nutrition was nothing to rave about. All in all, for the nutrition value and price point, I don't think these gummies are worth it. Just eat regular gummies or if you want something healthy have some fruit, not this weird in-between snack that doesn't satisfy either desire.

SmartSweets used to be my go-to for a low-sugar gummy, especially the Sourmelon Bites because I love a watermelon candy, but the new "improved" recipe just doesn’t hit the same. The texture isn't as satisfying. Still a decent option if you’re avoiding sugar, but definitely not what it used to be.

These are possibly my favorite low-sugar snacks. I love how they incorporate fun flavors that normally would be full of sugar and calories and give a better option. I also like that they are run by women. The price is a bit higher but well worth it.

I love these candies because they taste as great as classic candy, except these have way less sugar in them. I love the taste of these, but my favorite is the gummy fish. These are pretty expensive, but I think they can be worth it for buying for special occasions.

I was so excited to find a low-sugar, gelatin-free version of my favorite candy (Swedish fish). I really liked the taste and texture and loved that the bag was only 3g of sugar. However, I really wish there was more in the bag for the price. The small bags are great for portion control but I'd like to get a bigger bag. for an alternate review, I gave some to my mom to try and she said the texture was a miss for her.

I can appreciate that has only 3g of sugar, but every time my boyfriend and I see the 40g carb we're like damn... But I get it, it's candy and for a healthier alternative it's really good. Texture is alright, I taste the aftertaste everyone is mentioning, but it's not real sugar candy so I can't expect it to taste like full sugar candy. However, they are very pricey, I rarely get them because of that.

Tastes pretty much the same as normal sour candy! Love the idea, I eat a lot of candy so this is a good replacement. You can definitely tell it’s supposed to be a ‘healthier’ alternative to full sugar candy though.

I love the peach rings! Makes me so happy when I see them in the local co-op and grocery store! I am happy with the ingredients, knowing it is gluten free. Very yummy taste and a very good aftertaste.

SO SO ADDICTING!! I ordered 5 packs of lollipops on amazing. They have low sugar and are low calorie. They taste amazing would recommend them to all my candy lovers.

They're small flat gummy pieces of candy. They're not as chewy as a gummy bear, they're too flat for that. There's just a little bit of sourness to them. There isn't one flavor that sticks out. To me it didn't have much taste to it at all. I wouldn't buy these for myself. I was excited to try the sweet fish because I love swedish fish. I did not like them. I was expecting them to have a cherry flavor, which they did not. I'm not sure what flavor they were. The candy wasn't even red like on the package, it was clear with a light pink.

I love that they are Canadian and women-founded. I've followed them since they were on Dragon's Den. The flavor and texture has improved over time and they are very tasty now!

Smart Sweets are a game changer for anyone who loves candy but wants to keep things healthy. These treats have a fair amount of sweetness without any guilt. Unlike regular candy, Smart Sweets use natural ingredients and are low in sugar, so you can enjoy your snack without worrying about crashes or sugar overload. The texture is chewy and satisfying, and the variety of flavors means there is something for every craving.

I tried the Sweet Fish and it was a pretty decent alternative to the traditional artificial candy. I will say that it has a slight medicinal flavor, but I expected that since they use all natural ingredients. I'm not sure how to describe it properly, but it tasted like a gummy multivitamin - the flavor is there but muted and it's not too sweet. The texture is good, chewy but not too difficult to chew like some people had mentioned. Maybe it depends on the batch you get. I thought the size of each piece was larger than the original. It satisfies a craving but isn't something I would personally snack on a lot.

These are a great snack for when you need something sweet but don’t want to consume so much sugar. I’d love more variety in flavor and style but I love what I’ve tried. The chew isn’t quite the same as a regular gummy.

I think the idea of this product is a good one and as someone who avoids added sugar myself, I can definitely understand the appeal and the market for this. However, for me, these wreaked havoc on my stomach due to the particular sweetener used, and I have heard the same from others. I would be curious to see a potential reformulation in the future.

I tried the sour watermelon wedges because the Sour Patch version is my absolute favorite. These were good but not worth buying again. Something about the texture feels off, and the packaging is super small so it feels like it's gone really fast. Worth a taste if you've never had them; just wouldn't buy again.

I can not have a lot of sugar as it makes my head hurt but these are really good and honestly a lot of this stuff the sweetness tastes very artificial. But that is not the case with these sweets which I enjoy!

My friend suggested I try these and, at first I was skeptical, but after trying a few different products from their brand, I have to say, I'm sold! Need a guilt-free way to tame your sweet tooth? This is your solution. Will be purchasing again and probably trying a few different candies next time.

Tasty not terrific. These low sugar sweets scarcely suffice. They are gummy candies but not the full blown blood sugar spiking 711 5 cent candy we are all used too. For a candy aficionado this product met expectations. I was not impressed by the sour watermelon offering. I found them too sour and lacking the ratio of sweet required in a perfect sweet snd sour candy.
