A sugar replacing composition has no traditional sweeteners that contain novel ingredients with added health benefits and provides sweetness characteristics of sugar without the aftertaste of sweeteners and without the glycemic load of sugar. Specifically, the sugar replacer composition includes digestion resistant soluble fiber comprising an oligosaccharide matrix of glucose and/or fructose and/or xylose oligomers with digestive resistant properties, along with a freeze dried extract from the endosperm of the coconut fruit and/or a freeze-dried extract from the pulp of the banana fruit, where the ingredients contribute to the added health benefits and the sweetening capacity of the composition.
