Description: Dr. John’s Candies has launched THRIVE, a new line of sugar-free goodies. First to debut are lollipops that are all natural, contain no sugar and are packed with five grams of fiber.

THRIVE treats also fight cavities with a combination of xylitol and erythritol, both natural sweeteners that promote oral health. They’re available in four flavors: Strawberry, Blackberry, Orange and Chocolate.

THRIVE+, another addition to the line, has all the same delicious benefits as THRIVE but will also have probiotics.

To sweeten the deal, Dr. John’s Candies has pledged a portion of their THRIVE sales to the MaxLove Project, a nonprofit organization that advocates for improved quality of life and lower health risks for childhood cancer patients and survivors.

Ingredients (Fruit flavors): Dextrin (dietary fiber), erythritol, xylitol, citric acid, natural flavor, carrot concentrate, black carrot, black currant, purple carrot, blueberry and monk fruit.

S.R.P. (8 oz.): $8.99
