Glucoholic - Sugar Free Snacks

After finding good products in South Beach Diet’s deli wraps and peanut butter cookies The Glucoholic was pleased to find South Beach Diet Pepperoni Pizza at his local grocer. In a crowded market of personal sized frozen pizzas, this pizza is a serious contender for best in show. Of course, it’s real benefit is competitive taste without supplying more carbohydrates than a person should eat in a week!

Regarding taste, this pizza is on par with most other frozen pizzas. The wheat crust is somewhat different, but rather tasty. The sauce, cheese, and pepperoni are comparable to the same ingredients in other frozen pizzas as well. If you like a crispier crust you can heat this pizza in the oven, but whether you prepare it in the oven or the microwave be careful with your first bite because the toppings will be plasma hot.

Everything you need for an awesome meal is in this one package!

Who doesn’t like an occasional bowl of ice cream? A real snacking classic can be carried to new heights by some tasty chocolate syrup. Unfortunately, finding either that are diabetic or low carb friendly can be a challenge. If you’ve managed to find some ice cream you can live with, and you prefer a more dark chocolate taste, then Hershey’s Sugar Free Syrup is worth a try. If you’re craving the sweet, creamy texture and taste of hot fudge this might not be the topping for your ice cream. Most everyone will like it for mixing with milk for tasty chocolate milk.

Each serving is only two tablespoons, which is not a lot if you really like to cover your ice cream. With four out of five carbohydrates coming from sugar alcohol you better go easy on it. There’s a warning on the label. The good news is that there’s zero of everything else except 15 calories, 50mg of sodium, and a trace amount of a few vitamins and minerals. Hershey’s Sugar Free Syrup is sweetened with acesulfame potassium and sucralose.

Somebody get The Glucoholic some sugar free peanut butter and low carb bread ’cause we’re havin’ us some PB&J tonight!
