Glucoholic - Sugar Free Snacks Reviews

Sugar Free Jolly Rancher Hard Candy is one of the best sugar free snacks we’ve reviewed here at glucoholic.com. Hershey’s sugar free version of the extremely popular Jolly Rancher brand is an excellent addition to their sugar free lineup, with a burst of fruit flavor that rivals it’s sweet cousin’s.

Our friends over at candyaddict.com have a rundown of the original Jolly Rancher flavors. We were pleased to see that the four flavors of the sugar free version were not a great departure from the five of the original Jolly Ranchers. The sugar free version loses a cherry flavor and replaces blue raspberry with plain raspberry. Each of the four tasted wonderful and sweet. Sugar Free Jolly Ranchers are definitely going on The Glucoholic’s preferred sugar free snacks list, and we highly recommend it.

Continuing our short break from sugar free snacks reviews, we’d like to introduce Tava Zero Calorie Sparkling Beverage. The folks at Pepsi have created three interesting flavors that we immediately marched into battle against each other; with you, our loyal readers, coming out the victors.

Tava Zero Calorie Sparkling Beverage has received some recent press because of Pepsi’s decision to market the product in a non-conventional way to a non-conventional soft drink demographic. Hubspot’s Inbound Internet Marketing Blog and The New York Times explain how Pepsi’s advertising consultants helped them craft a plan to market the product using new media instead of traditional outlets. The 35 to 49 year olds in the product’s target demographic are currently underserved by new media and might just prove to be a real win for Pepsi.

I tell you, The Glucoholic has been waiting for this one. Since our earlier review of Jones Sugar Free Black Cherry Soda we’ve been “jonesing” for the opportunity to try the root beer. It was worth the wait. We could not find one thing we did not like about this root beer. It has very authentic taste, and does not suffer from the pervasive underuse of sweetener that other diet sodas exhibit. If you are a root beer lover you will enjoy this sugar free drink! We highly recommend finding a retailer and purchasing Jones Sugar Free Root Beer and seeing for yourself.

Just like the black cherry soda, there’s very little nutritional information to keep up with. The signature customer-contributed photographs take up more space on the label than the nutrition facts. There’s only 30mg of sodium in this one, and no caffeine. Splenda brand sweetener is used to give it its wonderfully sweet taste. Jones has hit another home run with this one. If they keep this up The Glucoholic will have to buy another refrigerator.

The fantastic diabetes blog Six Until Me is heading up a type 1 diabetes awareness event and we here at glucoholic.com would like to show our support.

Color him stupid, but when The Glucoholic really likes a product as much as he did the Brach’s Sugar Free Star Brites he tends to look for other products sold by the same producer. He didn’t have to look far before he found Brach’s Sugar Free Gummi Fruits. There seems to be no end to the “gummification” trend these days. We’ve got gummi bears, gummi worms, gummi narwhals - uh, I think that last one is only in development. It stands to reason that we should also have something sugar free to chew on in the gummi family.

Brach’s Sugar Free Gummi Fruits do the job nicely. They come in apple, cherry, grape, lemon, and orange flavors. Most of the flavors are a reasonable reminder of their natural counterparts, and they’re formed in the shape of their real life partners as well. They are not individually wrapped, but most other gummi treats aren’t. The candies are very chewy and sweet. They are a great sugar free snack and an entertaining novelty to boot!
