Cocoa Craving
Ok, so this one has a hint of agave syrup in it. Don't go crazy, but when a chocolate craving hits, Artisana Organic Raw Cacao Bliss is a pure, raw, organic superfood experience that leaves other chocolate spreads in the dust. Kids and adults alike love this spread on toast, smeared on fresh fruit, or in a sandwich (try it with PB and banana).

Sweet!
The sweet potato chips from Brad's Raw Chips are utterly delicious. Gluten free and sweetened with just a touch of maple, they go particularly well with coconut milk or tea.

Pumpkin Patch
There is something about the mouthfeel of pumpkin seed butter that is so satisfying (and safe for school). Dip this Nuts To You Organic Pumpkin Seed Butter into whole grain crackers or even celery sticks for a sweet and savoury experience.

Poppity
We all know that water should be the first thing you reach for when you're thirsty, but there are times when the craving for pop strikes (especially with a burger and fries, right?). Zevia offers the treat of a soda with no sugar or artificial sweeteners.

An Apple a Day…
We like the singular ingredient: apples. Martin's Crispy Apple Chips are dried, skin-on morsels with all the sweetness of the fruit itself. Sold.

In a Jam
We love jam—on toast, a scone or in a sandwich—but we don't love the cups of white sugar that go into making it. Xyla Strawberry Jam is made with super safe xylitol, making this low-sugar jam perfect for crumpets and beyond.

Magical Muesli
We love Bob's Red Mill Old Country Style Muesli for the boost of protein and fibre it gives us. The raisins and date crumbles give it a touch of natural sweetness, which is nice, and the protein keeps little bellies full.

The Muffin Man
The secret to these no-sugar muffins from Namaste Foods is using a bounty of fruit in place of the water. We like pineapple and blueberry for a supercharged muffin that starts off the day with a bang, not a slump.

Date Night
When a sweet craving hits, Made In Nature Organic Deglet Noor Dates are absolutely the best thing for it. When paired up with walnuts, it tastes like a super good for you date square!

Desperately Seeking Lara
LÄRABAR's contain dates, cocoa, coconut, almonds and walnuts. That's all—and they all combine for a chocolaty, satisfying, slightly sweet snack for those refined taste buds.
