HERE'S WHAT WE NOTICED...
Since my husband often does a keto diet and since i try to avoid sugar we decided to order some sugar-free syrup but became confused when we saw ALL of the options.. At that point I thought to order them all and just compare the sugar-free maple syrups to see which one we preferred the most. Not sure what our preferences are worth since everyone's taste & preferences can be different... but I thought I'd share our views for what it's worth😁
We ordered 5 sugar-free brands of maple syrup: Lakanto, ChocZero, NuNaturals, Joseph's & Livlo Syrlo. Here's what we noticed:
NuNaturals seemed to have a strong maple flavor with a slightly thin consistency. I found that the container needed to be mixed around or shook up as best as possible before serving. Had a pleasant maple syrup flavor.
ChocZero had a very thick consistency. As far as flavor goes, the first thing that came to my mind upon trying it was it made me think of maybe what liquid marshmallows with a maple flavor added would taste like.
Livlo Syrlo tasted like a thinner version of ChocZero but sweeter with a slight aftertaste that lingered.
Joseph's was another thick consistency syrup. It had a nice sweet maple flavor.. BUT according to the back label it reads that you can only deduct half of the sugar alcohols in this brand.. so is it actually low-carb, keto?
Lakanto had a super thin consistency but a nice maple syrup flavor.. not overly sweet in my opinion.
If you're wondering which ones we preferred.. I liked the taste of Joseph's but my concern about the carbs made me choose Lakanto as my next favorite one overall. My husband preferred Joseph's 😁 he said he didn't notice it affecting his loosing weight while on keto.. and he just loves the flavor of it. To him it's like having regular maple syrup.
So that's our thoughts for what it's worth.. not sure if it helps you any but I sure hope it does😊👍
**after trying sugar-free syrups a few times I don't like how they make me feel. They really affect my digestion and make me feel dehydrated. Also, I had a couple of other undesirable side effects. It seems that others do not have side effects so this might not be any issue for you at all... but for now I'm trying to limit the amount of sugar alcohol products I consume. Hope it works for you🙂
