GummyTalk Forum

Hey everyone, I just stumbled upon these SmartSweets Peach Rings while browsing online. As a busy professional, I'm always looking for quick snacks that won't derail my energy. The low sugar (3g) and calorie count (130) caught my eye. Has anyone here actually tried them? I'm skeptical about gummy candy being 'healthy' - does it taste like artificial sweeteners or is it decent?

ZenZoe, I've been using these for months! As a CrossFit junkie, I need something to satisfy my sweet tooth without the sugar crash. They're gluten-free which is great for my diet. The texture is a bit different from regular gummies - less chewy, but the peach flavor is surprisingly good. My only gripe is they're discontinued? I stocked up last month but now I'm worried about finding more.

As a fitness professional, I recommend these cautiously. The low sugar is excellent for blood sugar management, and 130 calories per pack fits most meal plans. However, I've had clients report digestive issues with the sugar alcohols used. EarthElias, as a marathon runner - have you tried these during long training runs? I'm curious if they provide any actual energy benefit or if they're just a treat.

Wendy, good question! I tried them on a 15-mile run last month. Honestly, they didn't do much for energy - the 3g sugar is too low for proper fueling. But as a post-run treat? Perfect. The peach rings helped curb my post-marathon candy cravings without the guilt. The 'packaging may vary' note is real though - my last order had different artwork, which was confusing at first.

Nature photographer here! I keep these in my camera bag during long shoots. They don't melt in heat like chocolate, and the individual packs are great for portion control. The discontinued status worries me - does anyone know why they stopped making them? Maybe sales weren't good? I'd love to find something similar that's actually available.

Jack, I heard through the grapevine it might be supply chain issues with the peach flavoring. To everyone: if you find a good alternative, please share! In the meantime, I've been mixing these with nuts for a balanced snack. ZenZoe - they do have a slight aftertaste, but it's less noticeable if you have them with coffee or tea. Much better than most 'diet' candies I've tried!
