How can I satisfy my sweet tooth without sugar?
If you have a major sweet tooth but are trying to eat less sugar, the good news is: you don’t have to give up desserts or snacks! In fact, there are a few ways to satisfy your sweet tooth without sugar.
One option is to eat naturally sweet foods, like fresh fruit. Keep in mind that fruits and ingredients like maple syrup have natural sugars, so if you’re trying to avoid all kinds of sugar, you’ll still want to keep these in moderation.
Another option is to make or buy snacks that use sugar-free sweeteners, otherwise known as sugar substitutes.
Not sure where to start? Keep reading because we’ll share our favorite sugar-free snacks and the best low sugar snacks for you to try this year!
Top 15 Best Sugar Free Snacks & Low Sugar Options
Best Sugar-Free Cookies: Raize Bakery Style Cookies
When I first tried Raize Bakery cookies, I honestly could not believe they were sugar-free and actually made with wholesome ingredients.
But here’s the thing: these fresh-baked, sugar free cookies actually taste amazing!
I’m quite the cookie connoisseur, and in my search for true bakery-style cookies, none has come closer to the “real thing” (ahem, the ones chock-full of sugar) like Raize cookies in terms of texture, taste, and overall feel. This is huge, you guys!!
Raize offers 2 styles of cookies: regular cookies and cookie sandwiches. I’ve tried both, and I personally love the regular cookies, while my husband is a huge fan of their cookie sandwiches.
As far as macros and nutrition labels go, Raize cookies have no added sugar, artificial sweeteners, or preservatives (they actually come fresh-baked).
They’re also low carb, gluten-free, non-GMO, keto-friendly, and certified kosher!
Right now, the cookie flavors are still somewhat limited to just 6 different flavors, but as a hardcore chocolate chip cookie kinda gal, the options were all I need. You can check out the different flavors HERE.
These cookies honestly are my favorite sugar free cookies and one of the best sugar free snacks I’ve tried to date! Plus, the packaging is really cute and super giftable too.
Best Sugar-Free Chocolate Bars: Nebula Snacks Oat Milk Chocolate
Nebula Snacks launched its Oat Milk Chocolate Bars in 2021, and I found out about them just a few weeks ago!
Since trying both their oat milk chocolate and dark chocolate bars, I’ve been obsessed with their oat milk chocolates.. and for good reasons. Nebula Snacks has become one of the best sugar-free chocolate bars on the market!
I especially love their oat milk chocolates because they are made with real, all-natural ingredients and still have the “melt in your mouth” feel after the initial “snap”.
Each bar comes with absolutely zero sugar. Instead, they use allulose and monk fruit to make their proprietary sweetener blend, both of which are natural sweeteners that do not spike blood sugar levels.
Aside from being sugar-free, Nebula Snacks chocolates are also low-carb, soy-free, grain-free, and gluten-free. The oat milk chocolate is also dairy-free, so it’s great for those with dairy allergies or sensitivities.
These sugar free chocolate bars are vegan-friendly, non-GMO, and the packaging is made of 100% recycled materials.
Best Low Sugar Peanut Butter Cups: Miiro
Miiro specializes in vegan-friendly, low-sugar alternatives for what’s otherwise sugar-laden baking ingredients, like chocolates and syrups.
In fact, they’re most known for their vegan, low-sugar white chocolate – which by the way, tastes amazing especially when baked in cookies and are super melty.
That said, Miiro also sells low-sugar peanut butter cups, and they are my all-time favorite!
I find the flavor is very close to Reese’s peanut butter cups, which are incredibly high in sugar. Miiro’s PB cups, on the other hand, contain just 3g sugar for the ENTIRE bag!
So if you’re looking for a better-for-you alternative to the sugary peanut butter cups, my top alternative would be Miiro’s PB cups.
Plus, they don’t use any palm oil in their low sugar sweets, is keto-friendly, and plant-based.
Best Sugar-Free Recreational Drink: Psychedelic Water
Psychedelic Water is the first mood-boosting, non-alcoholic herbal supplement drink.
It’s made with natural ingredients, like kava root, damiana leaf, green tea leaf extract, and a blend of functional mushrooms like lion’s mane, chaga, and cordyceps – all of which are shown to improve cell function.
It also happens to use erythritol and monk fruit concentrate to sweeten the drink, you won’t find sugars here!
Psychedelic Water is vegan, CBD-free, alcohol-free, and comes in 4 different flavors:
- Hibiscus + Lime Flavor (our favorite!)
- Blackberry + Yuzu Flavor
- Oolong + Orange Blossom Flavor
- Prickly Pear Flavor
Best Sugar-Free Cereal: Catalina Crunch Cinnamon Toast
Catalina Crunch offers keto friendly cereals in a ton of different flavors – all of which are gluten-free and sugar-free!
Our favorite flavor is their Cinnamon Toast cereal, which is an amazing alternative to Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
All Catalina Crunch cereals are non-GMO, low-carb, vegan, and sweetened with stevia.
Best Low-Sugar Protein Bar: Love Good Fats Truffle Bars
Our favorite low-sugar protein bar is Love Good Fats Truffle Mint Chocolate Chip Bars. It tastes like an Andes Mint chocolate… but in protein bar form!
Each box comes with 12 bars, and each bar is packed with 9 grams of protein, 12 grams of good fats, only 2 grams of sugar, and 4 grams of net carbs.
What we love about these Love Good Fats bar is it tastes decadent, rich, and super creamy.
It’s definitely one of the best low-sugar snacks because it’s sweetened with stevia (though the chocolate chips do have sugar, which is why each bar has 2 grams of sugar). But hey, you win some, you lose some!
Pro tip: we especially recommend putting these in the fridge and enjoying them cold.
Best Low-Sugar Fruity Bars: IQBAR Keto Bars
If you prefer fruity protein bars instead of chocolatey ones, you’ll enjoy these IQBAR Fruit Lovers Keto Bars.
Each low-carb and low-sugar bar is made using simple gluten-free ingredients designed to keep you full and focused throughout the day.

Best Low-Sugar Wafers: Rip Van Chocolate Hazelnut Wafer Cookies
One of my favorite snacks growing up was Loacker Hazelnut Wafers, but they are so sugary!
So when I decided to eat less sugar a few years ago, I knew I had to find an alternative.
These keto-friendly Rip Van Chocolate Hazelnut Wafer Cookies are decidedly the best low sugar alternatives to the Loacker wafers, and they contain just 2 grams of sugar!
Each serving also contains 4g of net carbs and 6g of fiber. There are no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives – which is a huge win for me!
Best Low-Sugar Licorice: SmartSweets Licorice Candy
If you love Twizzlers, these SmartSweets Licorice Candy is the best low-sugar alternative.
Smart Sweets Red Twists contain just 2 grams of sugar per bag, which is 92% less sugar compared to Twizzlers and they come in at just 110 calories for the whole bag!
This licoricee is sweetened with monk fruit and allulose, and contain 12 grams of soluble prebiotic fiber.
They’re also certified Kosher and 100% gluten-free.
Best Low Sugar Gummies: Project 7 Keto-Friendly & Vegan Gummies
I personally am a HUGE fan of gummy candies, but finding good low-sugar gummies alternatives is hard!
Of the different options, Project 7 Keto-Friendly & Vegan Gummies are the best low sugar alternative – and we love their variety pack!
Each pack contains 2 bags each of their 4 best-selling low-sugar gummy snacks: sour gummy worms, sour apple rings, sour fruit gummies, and gummy bears.
We love that there are just 3 grams of sugar and 6 grams of net carbs per bag. Plus, the gummies are high in fiber too!

Best Sugar-Free Cocoa Puffs: Schoolyard Snacks Keto Cereal
For a sugar-free Cocoa Puffs alternative, the Schoolyard Snacks Cocoa Keto Cereal is the best one we’ve found.
Their cereal is sweetened with a blend of allulose and monk fruit for a completely sugar free cereal.
While this cereal does contain milk protein, it’s also low-carb, sugar-free, grain-free, high-protein, and gluten-free! A great sugar free option for those who are not lactose intolerant.
Best Lower Sugar Taffy: Numa Strawberries and Cream Soft Candy
These lower sugar taffy is a fantastic option if you love chewy and soft candies. We especially love the Strawberries & Cream flavor!
While these aren’t sugar-free, they do contain 40% less sugar than your typical taffies. It also has over 10 essential vitamins in each taffy!
Each taffy clocks in at 3 grams of sugar, and they are individually wrapped for easy snacking.

For a sugar-free chips option, we love PopCorners Variety Snack Pack! It’s a great snack for when you’re craving something a little sweet and salty.

The sea salt flavor is completely sugar, free while the kettle corn has 3 grams of sugar per bag and the white cheddar has 2 grams of sugar per bag.
