    Air, water, ice, salt...
    Walden Farms products =/= real food...like 4-5$ for zero nourishment/zero macros just sounds like a bad deal to me too (mostly just thickeners, water, & salt)

    I don't like anything I've tried from Walden Farms, and I'm not willing to spend money on trying any more of their products, but some people here love a few of their things.

    The only sweet things I can think of that almost fit the description in your title are tea, coffee, and other drinks with nothing except low calorie sweeteners added.

    Sugar free jello is only 10 calories per serving. It’s not the most delicious thing I’ve eaten, but it will do in a pinch.

    A celery stick dipped in Stevia. Oh wait that might be 1 calorie. Let me think on this a bit more.

    :confounded: I'm amazed people will go to such lengths to avoid a few calories from something that actually has decent nutritional value in its natural form.

    Those nutrition facts look more like salt paste.

    omg I got all excited seeing chocolate and salted caramel dipping sauce from this brand, I hear about this magical zero calorie deliciousness. The caramel tastes like straight up lighter fluid mixed with mid-80s grade nutrasweet. I threw it out. The chocolate is sitting in my pantry.

    Only water has zero calories.

    Low calorie/low carb snacks I can suggest - zero calorie snacks just take like garbage most of the time:

    Strawberries with Black Pepper around 30 calories/6g Carbs for 100g
    Wafer thin deli meat around 10 calories/0.2g carbs per slice

    My vote is to allow yourself moderate portions of the sweet things you like.

    Fake food is not providing any nutrition at all; why waste the time eating it and stewing over the lack of satisfaction it provides?

    Allow yourself space to enjoy the sweet things in life, and focus on the behavior changes needed to include them with the other foods in your eating plan.

    I eat my sweet treats veeeeeeeerrrrry slowly to make them last as long as possible.

    Good luck

    We don't have Walden Farms in the UK and now I am so interested to see what this tastes like.

    I'm not usually one to be all "FRANKEN-FOOD" but the way they shove NATURAL in there twice is very funny considering nothing about this product is a natural thing to do to a peanut.

    I think that's basically what it is!

    Ya, I have no interest in trying Walden Farms products. If Stop & Shop gave me a coupon for a free product, maybe I would consider it.

    I only like the pancake syrup to put into fluff/protein ice cream when I feel like eating a massive bowl of the stuff.

    When I want something sweet that's no calories, I make herbal tea (I really like the "zingers" line from Celestial Seasonings) and add a few drops of liquid sucralose.

    Walden's Farm stuff is all gross.

    The "tension tamer" flavor from Celestial Seasonings (similar to the original Good Earth flavor, but I can't seem to find that in grocery stores anymore) has naturally sweet flavors like mint, cinnamon, ginger, and licorice that I find tastes good without any added sweetener. (YMMV, of course.)

    I have used the pancake syrup because it was available to me and thought nothing ill of it. And I am typically a “no fake food” type of person. But if I can’t buy it fairly locally to me I probably will never have it in my pantry. The above all looks and sounds horrendous!
