NataLove said, “How can this have only 1 carb per serving and taste so fantastic. You can definitely tell that it is a dieting sauce, but in my opinion only because it is a tad watery. However, it is PACKED with flavor! Semi-Sweet, mildly spicy, definitely smokey! IT is a fantastic marinade and exactly what you need in your pantry if you are dieting or in general just not trying to have as many calories with your food.”
