Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the best low-sugar treats for kids?
- Lower-sugar versions of treats include 0g-added-sugar dark chocolate (some Lily's and ChocZero items), unsweetened applesauce, freeze-dried strawberries, and homemade banana ice cream. The list above ranks store-bought treats by added sugar.
- How often can kids have treats?
- There's no medical rule, but the AHA caps total added sugar at 25g per day for kids 2–18. A treat that's 12g already burns half the day's budget. Lower-sugar treats let "treat day" happen more often without exceeding the limit.
- Are sugar-free treats safe for kids?
- Treats sweetened with stevia, monk fruit, allulose, or erythritol have 0g added sugar but vary in palatability. Sugar alcohols can cause GI discomfort in larger quantities. For kids under 4, prefer fruit-sweetened treats over sugar-substitute treats.
