Have definitely seen SF maple syrup in little packets in WJ, CK, MDR and Johnnie Rockets.  DH uses it.  If it is not out, just ask for it.  Don't know about jam/jelly.  I have seen plain greek yogurt, not sure if it was fat free though.  It was a brand I haven't seen in the past, not Fage 0% that I use at home.

As Keto, I can say it's difficult in the extreme...in fact they've cut the amount of sugar free stuff this year.  I take my own sweeteners of course, even take Skinny Girl Simple Syrup with me.

How is sugar free maple syrup produced? I thought maple syrup came from maple trees after boiling down the sap.

Always bring my own Splenda, just in case.  Thanks!

You didn't think that it was actually maple syrup, did you?  It's "maple-flavored".

 

Ingredient list:

 

Water, Sorbitol, Cellulose Gum, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Salt, Caramel Color, Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate (to Preserve Freshness), Sucralose, Phosphoric Acid, Acesulfame Potassium, Aspartame, Citric Acid. Phenylketonurics: Contains Phenylalanine

Lol I didn't think so, but I wanted to be sure.  As far as that ingredient list, no thanks!

Same whether sugar free or not. The regular pancake syrup is, well, pancake syrup, which is primarily corn syrup.

Splenda should not be an issue cruising of of the US or Canada.  Out of other countries though pink, blue, yellow, and green might not all be available and/or artificial sweeteners could be a local brand packaged differently.

Lol this reminds me of KFC's "honey sauce".

I’m on Keto and take my own sweeteners too-Whole Earth. Found the sugar free gluten free desserts good on the Odyssey TA in October.

Sigh... I know it's not; but I'll manage with the facsimile. 🙂

It's produced in that special way that makes me think I am consuming the real thing. 🙂

The only grape jelly i could find on Allure back in April 2022 was sugar free and i had to ask for it in the windjammer. I wasn't looking for sugar free, that is the only grape they had. Definitely ask.

In the past they would always have the single serving pods of sugar free syrup right next to the other toppings.  On Navigator in December it was nowhere to be found.  Maybe it was just a supply issue but I assume it was just another cost cutting exercise.  Hopefully someone who was on another ship recently will prove me wrong.

As someone who has been low carb for almost 2 decades, I'm curious why sugar free syrup is needed.  Everything I would put syrup on isn't something I would eat anyway.  At least on a ship where finding keto pancakes is not possible.  

 

I can very much understand the sweetners (but I would long term suggest getting off of them for coffee- I'm a cream only person now- makes life easier).  And the sugar free yogurt.  

 

But not syrup.  

 

As for keto on the ship- as long as you can get away from the bread they bring to the table, I haven't found it that hard.  Especially when the waiter knows what you are doing.  It's a great test to deal with temptations, but at the same time, the choices are abundant enough to not stray.

It's not.  One poster above used the proper term for the sugar free product:  "pancake syrup".  It is high fructose corn syrup.  Nothing at all like real maple syrup.  Once you've had it on pancakes and waffles, you'll never go back.

Not everyone is keto.  For diabetics or even people just watching calories or on a diet, a pancake or waffle with sugar free syrup is still fewer carbs than one with regular syrup.

No unsolicited health advice is needed. If you must know, there IS a personal health reason I asked my original question, and didn't feel I would need to elaborate further.  I had a feeling when I was first writing this post I would need to include a disclaimer. Oy. Only on CC. Been away for 6 years, and some things never change.

Ok.  Have a great trip. 

[kruzerci]

I have seen sugar free syrup, that’s it.
 

Very hard to find healthy breakfast options. Would love to see fat free greek yogurt and such, but if you look around, health conscious passengers are clearly few and far between onboard, so I guess the demand isn’t there 😒
