Vegan honey alternatives tend to come with a sting in the tail. Agave? To paraphrase Goldilocks and the Three Bears — far too sweet. Maple syrup? Close, but no cigar. Date syrup? A colour curveball.
They all come close, but somehow just miss the sweet spot by the smallest of margins.
And so, vegan honey looked destined to fall into that ‘just fine’ category — the kind of compromise that’s all too familiar for plant-based eaters. Functional, yes. But underwhelming.
That is, until Sweet Freedom stepped in.
Their vegan honey substitute is crafted to mimic the taste, texture, and golden glow of the real deal — all without involving a single bee.
Made from natural fruit extracts, it’s a sticky-sweet, porridge-topping, recipe-enhancing revelation that doesn’t lean on refined sugar or odd additives.

Why Isn’t Honey Vegan?
First, the question that every vegan has fielded a thousand times before: Why isn’t honey vegan?
Granted, honey isn’t made by squishing bees into a gloopy, sweet paste, nor does it contain any actual animal ingredients — insects or otherwise.
The reason honey isn’t fit for vegan diets comes back to the defining manifesto of veganism.
According to The Vegan Society, veganism is “a way of living which seeks to avoid all exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals.”
The process of making honey falls into that exploitation bracket, as we humans leverage the labour of bees — often at the expense of their health and well-being — to harvest their food stores for our own sweet tooth.
In commercial beekeeping, practices like clipping the queen’s wings, culling colonies to cut costs, and replacing harvested honey with nutritionally inferior sugar syrups are not uncommon.
For those following a vegan lifestyle, that ethical line is where honey gets crossed off the list.
Vegan Honey: A Sweeter Way to Live
Sweet Freedom’s vegan honey — or Vegan Honeee, to give it its proper name — is the kind of swap that makes you double-take.
Free from cloying artificial sweeteners and bee-belittling practices, it’s the planet-friendly alternative that’s all the more satisfying.
That signature taste? Achieved by cutting out the middle man (or middle bee) and using Sweet Freedom’s blend of carob and apple fruit extracts.
A touch of natural flavour and colour gives it that golden sheen — rounding off a short, simple ingredients list that’s low in calories but big on authentic vegan honey flavour.
With just 13 calories and under 3g of sugar per serving, it’s a clean, cupboard-friendly essential that rivals the real thing in versatility and taste.
Even better, it’s a great source of fibre and fits effortlessly into everything from breakfast bowls to BBQ marinades.
Priced at £3.40 for a 350g bottle, Sweet Freedom’s Vegan Honeee is proof that going plant-based doesn’t mean paying a premium for your principles.
