SmartSweets reviews and discussion

I really like the concept but the snacks taste so fake and not in a cute fun gummy way. They just haven’t fully replicated the taste of my favorite candies, so what’s the point of buying them?

Yuuuuuum. You get everything you want out of a gummy candy without all the added sugar and creepy ingredients. And they actually taste like the classic candies they’re duping 🍬

Meh - not the worst but also not something I reach for. The artificial taste really bothered me and at that point I would rather just have a smaller quantity of the real thing to satisfy my craving. They are also really expensive and not worh it for me!

I have such a sweet tooth but don't always want to eat a big bag of candy or a bunch of calories. The serving size is perfect and love the different options!

I am not a believer in alternative sweets, unless there are clear reasons to abstain (unethically sourced palm oil, carcinogenic food colorings, food allergies). So probably I am not the ideal Smart Sweets customer. That being said, the gummies I've tried were pretty decent. Would I buy them in the future? Probably not, because they're more expensive. However, if you're trying to find lower sugar alternatives for health reasons, you'd be hard pressed to find better options.

Tasted great, but I was not a fan of the texture.

I'm too much of a candy fiend to enjoy these. Haven't had one I really like yet but am always open to trying new flavors that come out just incase I find one for me.

Smart Sweets provides a great solution to candy that is a bit better for you in terms of ingredients. While they exceed in that field with their great ingredients compared to the competition, they struggle to achieve the same consistency and texture as traditional gummy candy. This may not be what they were striving for, but it’s something that can’t go unnoticed when consuming.

We bought these to give out for Halloween treats at daycare. We tried most of the flavors and my son (4y) could not tell that they were any different from normal (full sugar) candy!

Some candies were better than others. I especially liked the red fish. I did find the sour gummies weren’t sour at all and didn’t have the best flavor. I love how they have very little sugar and I feel better about giving them to my daughter for a treat.

I think the Smart Sweets are good, low-sugar alternative. They do have an artificial sugar taste, but if you're already used to that, it's really not a big deal. They're very.. sticky? I found them getting stuck in my teeth more than average candy.

Sometimes they are great and sometimes they rip your teeth out. I love the Swedish fish ones and the watermelon candy but about every other pack is rock solid.

Overall, I think these sweets are a great alternative to someone who needs to be on a lower sugar diet. I will say that there is a noticeable difference in these sweets and there alternative.

Not flavorful or tasty, overly chewy without a great flavor to compensate. Very odd candy overall.

Tastes just as good as a regular gummy, the only thing that I have a small issue with is the price. It's almost 50% higher than the competitor's candy and while this one is low in sugar and look good, the price stops me at times.

The candy tastes fake.

I’ve tried several of their sweets and to be honest they can be either great or just a huge let down. My personal favorite are the peach rings and I would avoid the swedish fish at all cost. Some of them have a weird chemically after taste common to low sugar snacks but the one that are good hit hard!

Different gummies are hit-or-miss, but the ones that hit are good. I'd recommend the sour bears and the peach rings, wouldn't recommend the swedish fish. These hit the spot for me when I want a sugary candy and I really like how high fiber these are. I haven't tried their caramels but will definitely be trying when I see them next!

Really liked the sweet fish, I thought they were a great alternative to Swedish fish. However, the sour buddies and sweet chews had an awful aftertaste and strange texture.

love smart sweets a healthier way to solve sugar craves
