My Favorite Dye-Free Sprinkles

Let’s be honest — sprinkles make everything more fun. But so many traditional sprinkles are full of artificial dyes (hello, Red 40 and Yellow 5). The good news? There are some amazing dye-free sprinkle brands out there that are just as colorful and way more parent-approved. These are my go-to picks for decorating cupcakes, cookies, ice cream, and everything in between.

1. Supernatural Rainbow Pop Sprinkles

These are bright, crunchy, and made with plant-based color — my absolute favorite for birthdays and celebrations.

Why I Love These
They let my daughter enjoy colorful desserts without the meltdown later. I use these for birthday cupcakes, ice cream sundaes, and even on top of pancakes (because why not?). These brands keep the fun while cutting the artificial ingredients.
