Is this artifically sweetened?Most flavors come with artificial sweetners, taste gross! I want to buy several boxes of these if not artificial.

yes it does have some artificialsweetners but low amounts i feel the same but tried it any way & have drank it since for years now. if you go to their web site they will send you free samples to try before you buy. i have mine on automatic delievery w/ amazon which is wonderful.

I suppose it is a matter of taste; I prefer the taste of the natural unsweetened to that of the special dark. I add my own artificial sweetener to avoid sugar. Try a can of both and see which you prefer before you order a large quantity, then place an order for the one you prefer.

Yes exactly like it.But no artificial anything and they taste great.ive also noticed the gummies you either have to take a ton to get the recommended dosage or they dont have good nutritional value in them.These are excellent and yes crunchy.

Not sure what the one person that answered was talking about--these taste really bad...certainly nothing like a regular, delicious and sweet candy bar. they start out with an ok flavor, but as you chew the center there's this really bad/fake taste that comes out strong...this is what i imagine dog biscuits taste like. but whatever, they're fairly low calorie for a lot of protein and yet weigh in at a hefty 50g...so i wouldn't expect them to "taste great." to be fair, i'm a "foodie" and love great flavorful food. but i also eat light sometimes and workout often. for comparison, my protein shakes i make with water, as well as other protein bars i've bought, taste much better than these.

I have no idea. I looked on the package and that is all it says, artificial flavor. You may need to contact the manufacturer.

I would be appalled if they add a sweetener because some sweeteners being used by the industry are not harmless. I even did not have this idea! But I am making my own liposomal Vitamin C, so I know this one contains only Vitamin C and sunflower lecithin. George Knorr

I was wondering the same thing... I always make an effort to take in as littl sugar as possible and this product is very sweet tasting. I loved it but i didnt buy it again because it is a mystery as to how much sugar i am consuming.... i even looked online and at the website; found ZERO info.

If there are artificial sweeteners, it is not disclosed on the label. It DOES list "sugars"...nothing specific. I did notice that nowhere on the label does it claim to be organic, if you are concerned about that.

I would say not, but I haven't tried it. I've never met an artificial sweetener that tastes exactly like sugar. It seems there's always an after taste. I think it's the best of the lot even though it is 70% sweet as sugar. Monk fruit extract mixed with this product may be a better combination although I am not sure of the percentages of each to make a mix. I'm going to order this as I have used eryrithritol before and although it is not perfect it is the best of any. Splenda is okay as sweetener but full of chemicals that are a bit scary with potential health problems.

The box indicates 15 grams of sugar, which is high in my opinion, but even so, it does not taste sweet. Label doesn't indicate the source. There are huge variations in taste between containers. I bought 4; one was unbearable, the next was a little better, the next one tasted pretty good, the last one was unbearable again--had to pour it down the drain.

I don't think it does but I have used artificial sweeteners all my life. My husband can taste it in foods but he is overly sensitive to sweets anyway. I'ts definitely worth trying at least one box. I have found it to be the best stevia sweetener on the market. Most brands that are so called "stevia" do not compare as far as ingredients or quality.

There is no added sugar in this product. The sugars are naturally occurring in the product. Many foods have natural occurring sugar. This product does not have a sweet taste. Does yours taste sweet? My purchase has slightly different nutrition facts. I think it's because off the specific harvest. If you would like more information I would contact the company. They are very, very nice.

Sorry Jessica. I haven't had it for awhile and don't have any in the house to check, so I don't know if it has artificial sweeteners or not. You may try to find it on another website that will give you the nutritional information/ingredients. Good luck.

I buy the regular hot chocolate not the diet which does have artificial sweetners. The other respondents have listed the ingrediants. You can check the other varieties in the supermarket.

I read the label but, as far as I can tell, unless they are leaving something out, no fake sugar ingredients. But, I have to say I taste something, too, like that artificial sweetener taste. I wonder if we call the company, they will tell us.

I've been able to get a few cans without stevia, but assumed that they were older cans, produced prior to the stevia version. I've been searching all local health food stores and buying what I can of it. If you are right and there are new ones without stevia, that would be wonderful.I've been taking some comfort in the knowledge that the flavors I've enjoyed most are available in an unsweetened version so that I can add my own sugar or agave.

You are more aware than me! As far as I know there is none. I love this sweetener knowing it's natural and secondly it doesn't leave the after taste that some do. Just know that it isn't a cup for a cup. It's much more economical and takes a lot less. I found that about half is equal to a cup of sugar but that's preferential taste.
