    If you're cool with using splenda then yes there is. What type are you looking for? You can make a really good teryaki marinade with 1 c soy sauce (salt free is available but you have to look), combine that with 1 cup splenda and 1/2 cup fresh Pineapple Juice. There are many more.

    I don't know what your exact sugar free requirements are. Mrs. Dash has a whole line of salt-free marinades but they probably all have some kind of sugar. I had this recipe below, it contains pineapple juice and honey, but no added sugar.

    LEA'S PINEAPPLE MARINADE FOR PORK OR CHICKEN

    1 cup crushed pineapple with juice
    1/2 cup white wine
    1/3 cup honey
    1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
    5 cloves garlic, minced
    2 teaspoon ginger powder
    1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
    1 teaspoon dry mustard

    Mix all ingredients together and marinade boneless, skinless chicken for about 1 hour. Marinade pork or large poultry pieces 6 to 12 hours.

    Here's another marinade that is similar in that it uses honey:
    Healthy BBQ Marinade/Sauce

    12 ounce no salt added tomato paste
    3 ounces low sodium soy sauce
    1/2 c. dry white wine (to replace salt taste)
    1 tbsp. dry mustard or dijon
    2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
    1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
    Dash Tabasco (to taste)
    1/4 c. honey
    1 tbsp. mild chili powder
    Juice of 1/2 orange
    1 1/2 c. water
    2 tsp. Liquid Smoke

    natural yoghurt tandori masala spice, mix together score chicken....chopped onion optional rub in the chicken and leave to fester for a while in the fridge

    natural yoghurt, cumin coriander paprika tumeric

    natural yoghurt and any spices you choose (check labels for any salt n sugar) but mostly spices come without.

    homemade pesto would make a nice marinade

    Absolutely! Olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, crushed garlic, minced onions, herbs and spices of your choice. I particularly enjoy oregano. Chili powder, Cilantro and cumin are excellent for a Mexican flavor.

    Honey is a good sweetner to use.

    If you want spices, you can use any kind of "Mrs. Dash" seasoning.

    A good marinade:

    Ingredients

    • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
    • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
    • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • 1/2 cup low-salt chicken broth
    • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
    • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves or fresh Basil

    Honey is a good sweetner to use.

    Honey is almost pure sugar.

    Why would you want to make a marinade without sugar?
