From candy and ice cream to protein bars and cereal, this list covers it all.

We love sugar just as much as the next person, but if you’ve ever eaten too many sweets in a day, you’d know it’s not a great feeling. You’re all jittery one second and super sleepy the next. Ever heard the term “sugar crash?” Yeah, that’s the feeling. Well, whether you’re looking to cut down your sugar intake for personal reasons or medical needs, we’re here for you! To make your life easier, we’ve created this list of 11 low-sugar and sugar-free snacks that taste great.

Three Wishes Cereal

Let’s kick things off with a breakfast staple! Three Wishes makes vegan, gluten-free cereal with lower sugar and higher protein than the leading box of Os. Using chickpeas as a base, with a few other simple ingredients (like monk fruit), Three Wishes makes delicious flavors that range from 0g to 3g of sugar.

All of the drool-worthy flavors—including Birthday Cake, S’mores, Sticky Cinnamon Roll, Blueberry Cobbler, and more—are vegan, gluten-free, kosher, and soy-free. Oh, and did you know that No Cow just dropped a line of chocolate-dipped bars?

Project 7 Gummies

Most gummy candy is not only loaded with unnecessary sugar but also contains gelatin, which is an animal derivative. At Project 7, those worries are a thing of the past. This brand makes a plethora of fruity, sour, chewy, and delicious candies that are vegan, low-sugar, low-calorie, and high-fiber. From Gummy Bears, Sour Worms, and Apple Rings to Original Licorice and Gummy Guppies, Project 7 has all of the iconic childhood candies covered. We love them all, but the Gummy Bears have a special place in our hearts.
