SmartSweets

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve seen me post recently about a brand called SmartSweets. First, let me tell you, I will never promote a brand I don’t love and believe in wholeheartedly.

Now, let’s take a deep dive into SmartSweets. I found SmartSweet originally in Whole Foods one late Friday night last summer…. and yes I know what you’re thinking what single girl in her 20s takes a long stroll through Whole Foods on a Friday night… ME, that’s who. (Obviously if you’re trying to date me, just check the grocery store or some group fitness class LOL!)

I honestly love to grocery shop and take my time in the grocery store…. but we will save that tangent for a different day. Like I was saying I found SmartSweets, and really what caught my eye was that they said Vegan. My dear friend Hannah is Vegan, and last Valentine’s Day I bought her Regular Gummy Bears (ya’ll those are NOT vegan), and I didn’t know they weren’t Vegan and she never told me until summer when I saw the gummy bears still in her room… awkward. (Also, just a note, the SmartSweet Gummy Bears aren’t Vegan either, but the other options are.)

I felt like a dumbass… but how sweet is Hannah to not tell me because she didn’t want to hurt my feelings.

Anyways, SmartSweets makes various types of gummy candies, so I was instantly so excited that these were Vegan because of my whole Valentine’s gift disaster. I, of course, bought a variety of what Whole Foods had at the time, and decided to try them.

These are the best sweet candy I’ve had because I don’t feel like absolute crap after eating them. They are perfect to just toss in my handbag and take to the movie, also significantly cheaper than movie theatre snacks.

Not only do SmartSweets taste good, but they are good for you so let’s get the facts.

SmartSweets is a female founded company, and really took off in 2019. There are sour and sweet gummy candies (my personal favorite is sour). There are 5 different types of SmartSweets. Sweet Fish, Peach Rings, Sour Blast Buddies, Fruity Gummy Bears, and Sour Gummy Bears. All of the SmartSweets are 80-90 calories per bag…. that’s win. Go look at the back of similar candy… it’s wayyyy higher in calories. Not only are these snacks lower in calories… they are also lower in sugar by 75-87% and packed full of fiber which means you’re not going to eat these as a snack and feel like you need 10 more bags.

Right now, SmartSweets is doing an awesome campaign for January called #NoResolutionsRequired encouraging healthier lifestyle choices and not a diet. I personally love this, we are in such a diet culture right now in America, that very few people have a good a relationship with food. Restricting yourself can lead to negative self-talk and promotes unhealthy eating habits.

I am giving away a few bags of SmartSweets to my readers and Instagram followers. To enter comment on this post or comment on my Instagram post. You also have to be signed up for my email list which you can do by DMing me or filing out the ‘Keep in Touch’ form on my Welcome page.
