What’s Inside Our Protein Candy? A Breakdown of the Key Ingredients (and Why They Matter)

We all want to know what we’re putting in our bodies, especially when it comes to snacks that promise both flavor and function.

At Snackivory, we’re proud of what goes into our protein gummies (and just as proud of what we leave out).

So let’s take a look at the ingredients that make our sugar-free, plant-based candy actually good for you, and why they deserve a spot in your routine. 👇


🌾 1. Organic Rice Protein Isolate

Why we use it: Rice protein to create a more complete amino acid profile, great for building and repairing muscle tissue.

  • 🧬 Rich in BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids)
  • ⚡️ Easily absorbed by the body
  • 🧘 Gentle on the stomach

It’s one of the cleanest, most sustainable protein sources out there.


🍓 2. Natural Mixed Berry Flavoring

Why we use it: Because candy should taste good naturally. Our flavoring comes from real berries for that juicy, authentic berry burst.

  • 🌿 No artificial flavors
  • 🍇 Sourced from natural ingredients
  • 😋 Adds depth without chemicals

💧 3. Pectin (Not Gelatin)

Why we use it: Instead of animal-based gelatin, we use pectin, a fiber naturally found in fruits.

  • ✅ 100% plant-based
  • 🌱 Vegan & halal-friendly
  • 🍎 Gives our gummies their soft texture

🍬 4. Maltitol - Sweet, But Sugar-Free

Why we use it: Maltitol gives our gummies that classic candy sweetness and chew, without the sugar spike.

  • 🚫 Contains zero sugar
  • 👌 Lower glycemic index than sugar
  • 🦷 Gentle on teeth
  • ✅ Recognized as safe in both Canada and the US

It lets you enjoy something sweet… without messing with your blood sugar or your goals


🍃 5. Stevia Extract – Nature’s Sweet Touch

To perfect the flavor, we add a hint of stevia, a natural plant-based sweetener.

✅ Zero calories
✅ Zero impact on blood sugar
✅ 100% vegan & natural

This combo of maltitol + stevia gives just the right amount of sweetness without the guilt.

🧪 6. Citric Acid & Sodium Citrate

Why we use them: These give that subtle tangy kick and help preserve freshness without using artificial preservatives.

  • 🍋 Helps with flavor balance
  • 🔒 Keeps the product shelf-stable naturally

🍅 7. Lycopene (for color)

Why we use it: Instead of synthetic dyes, we color our gummies with lycopene, a natural pigment found in tomatoes and other fruits.

  • 🌈 Vibrant red hue
  • 🌿 Naturally derived
  • ✅ Approved in Canada & the US

🥥 8. Coconut Oil & Carnauba Wax

Why we use them: This combo prevents sticking and gives a clean, smooth finish to the gummies.

  • ✨ Adds that glossy, candy-like look
  • 🌱 100% plant-based
  • 🍃 Keeps texture consistent

✅ What You Won’t Find in Snackivory
