Hey everyone, I just tried the SmartSweets Variety Pack with my kids and I'm impressed! As a granola parent, I'm always looking for healthier snack options that don't sacrifice taste. The Peach Rings were a hit with my 7-year-old, and I appreciate that each serving has only 3g of sugar. Has anyone else tried these with their family? I'm curious about the texture compared to regular gummies.

OMG, I'm obsessed with these! As an enthusiastic health nut, I've been searching for low-sugar candy alternatives for years. The Sourmelon Bites are my absolute favorite - they have that perfect tangy kick without the sugar crash. I've been buying these for my office snack drawer and everyone keeps asking where I got them. Pro tip: keep them in the fridge for an extra chewy texture!

I have to agree with MindfulMila! These are a game-changer for healthy snacking. I've been tracking my macros and these fit perfectly into my diet plan. The Sweet Fish have such a satisfying chew, and at only 90 calories per bag, I don't feel guilty having a few. Has anyone tried the Sour Blast Buddies? I'm thinking of ordering another pack just for those!

Thanks for the feedback! I did notice the texture is slightly different from traditional gummies - a bit less sticky, which is actually better for kids' teeth. My only concern is the price point. At nearly $20 for 8 small bags, it's definitely a premium snack. Do you all think the health benefits justify the cost compared to making homemade alternatives?

Great question about cost, GummyGuru123! I've tried making my own low-sugar gummies and honestly, it's such a hassle. Between sourcing quality ingredients and the time investment, I find SmartSweets worth the convenience. Plus, they use soluble corn fiber and stevia instead of artificial sweeteners. Has anyone with dietary restrictions tried these? I have a friend who's gluten-free and wondering if they're safe.

I can confirm they're gluten-free! The packaging says so, and I have a celiac friend who eats them regularly without issues. Back to the texture discussion - I actually prefer the firmer bite of SmartSweets. Regular gummies are too soft and sugary for me now. My only wish is that they'd make a sugar-free version of the Sour Blast Buddies - those are my weakness but have slightly more sugar than the others.
