"Low sugar" on a snack label usually means one of three things: sugar alcohols (and the aftertaste and digestive issues that come with them), artificial sweeteners, or a portion so small the number works out. Rip Van does none of those. We use a small amount of real sugar and build the rest of the sweetness and texture on prebiotic fiber — the kind that feeds the good bacteria in your gut rather than passing straight through. That's why a Rip Van wafel has 3g of sugar and 6g of fiber, and tastes like a stroopwafel.

Sorted by sugar, lowest first:

  • 1g — Mini Wafels (34 calories), Vanilla, Lemon, Strawberry, Raspberry Dark Chocolate and Pumpkin Spice wafers
  • 2g — Dark Chocolate and Chocolate Hazelnut wafers, all three Crispy Dunes bars (90 calories)
  • 3g — the full-size stroopwafels
  • 4g — Leos, Romeos, Crispy Choco and Nutty Crunch

Who buys this way. People managing blood sugar, parents reading labels, anyone cutting sugar without wanting to give up dessert, and a lot of people who just read the back of the box. If you're tracking carbs rather than sugar, the Low Carb and Keto collections sort the same products by net carbs.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a low sugar snack?
There's no legal definition, but 5g or less per serving is the common benchmark. Every Rip Van product is between 1g and 4g.

How does Rip Van keep sugar low without artificial sweeteners?
A small amount of real sugar plus prebiotic fiber, which adds body and a little sweetness. No sugar alcohols, sucralose or stevia.

Which Rip Van snack has the least sugar?
The Mini Wafels and the Vanilla, Lemon, Strawberry, Raspberry and Pumpkin Spice wafers, all at 1g per serving.

Are low sugar snacks suitable for diabetics?
Many people managing diabetes choose Rip Van for the low sugar and high fiber, but check the full nutrition panel against your own plan and ask your clinician.
