Being a social media marketer has it’s pro’s and con’s, starting with the fact that I’m always glued to my phone, laptop or iPad at allย times. I’m constantly scrolling through feeds, exploring handles and coming across new products.ย
A few weeks ago in a sudden summer is coming – bikini’s are coming typeย rush, I was searching through hashtags and came across The Skinny Food Co.ย Typically I’m sold at skinny, but decided to dig deeperย into the company, starting with Instagram (@skinnyfoodco).ย

After cruising their website,ย I was instantly attracted to (some very English)ย flavors such as:ย Custard, Golden Syrup and Easter Cream.ย Even more attractive? The fact that theย syrups pride themselves on being vegan-friendlyย with ZEROย calories andย sugar.
After some serious insta-stalking (akaย clicking on multiple #Notguilty & #Skinnyfoodcoย hashtags) I couldn’t wait to review some of their products. Especially for 0 calories/guilt.ย
The first sauce Iย decidedย to try was Smokeyย BBQ. It was rich, smokey, andย perfect for mixing with chicken/fish. I have to admit, I’m notย really a Barbecue fan EVER (unless it’s on an 80 degree dayย by a pool out east),ย But this sauce tasted exactly like the real deal ranking aย 9/10. Only set back? Real BBQ sauceย is slightly thicker.ย
Next up was Tomato Ketchup. ย It doesn’tย tasteย like Heinz (where a single tablespoon can cost you 5 carbs and 4 grams of sugar) but the tasteย exceeded my expectations, which is coming from a harsh Ketchup critic.ย Someone whoย used to put Ketchupย on EVERYTHING. Up until the pointย I got into aย serious relationship at 25, and realized it was no longer socially acceptable to putย ketchup on pizza orย egg whites (especially in public).ย Ranking?ย 8/10.ย ย
Now for the sweet stuff which completely sold me on the company!ย I’ve tried “sugar free” syrups before and been less than impressed.ย Most have a chemical taste with a water-likeย consistency. So when I opened up the Salted Caramel syrup I was instantly impressed. It was thick, sweet, and reminded me of real caramel! I decided to add a tablespoon to my F-Factor smoothie (a daily ritual) and was blown away. It was certainly my favorite out of the bunch. Ranking 10/10ย
Last but not least (before this company review turns into a novel!)”Skinny Spread”. If you love Nutellaย this ones definitely for you. It was smooth, nutty and chocolatey. Better yet? One serving hasย only 23 calories with 94% less sugar than typical brands. Ranking 8/10 as I wish the spread was calorie free.ย
Withย new diet trends popping up every day (Keto, Whole 30, Low Fodmap etc) I have a feeling that these scrummyย sauces & syrups are going to be flyingย off the shelf.ย
Not only isย Skinny Food Co the fastest growing condiment brand, but they recently announced that the products will be launching in the US!ย Spend or skip? This brands a spend!
