Late Night Snacking Without the Regret

These Gushers Fruit Flavored Snacks are that classic chewy, burst-in-your-mouth texture that feels like pure nostalgia. With 43g of sugar per 100g, they are undeniably sweet, which can be a lifesaver during a mid-afternoon slump when you need a quick mood lift. I can see tossing a pack in your gym bag for a fast energy hit before a workout. The texture is soft and easy to eat on the go, but the high sugar content means you might feel a crash later. They're fun, but definitely a sometimes treat.

These Cheese Flavored Snacks look like a solid choice for a savory, crunchy fix. With a stellar score of 9.9 and zero sugar, they seem perfect for anyone trying to cut back on sweets. The ingredient list starts with enriched corn meal, suggesting a classic chip-like texture, though the blend of vegetable oils means they could be a bit oily to the touch. I'd probably stash these in my desk drawer for those 3 PM snack attacks when I want something salty without the sugar. The trade-off is likely the sodium content, which isn't listed but is common in cheese snacks.

The Baked Green Pea Snacks offer a surprisingly simple ingredient list: green peas, canola oil, and a bit of salt. With only 1g of sugar and a 9.9 score, they feel like a responsible choice for a light, savory crunch. The baked method suggests they aren't greasy, making them a clean option to toss into a tote bag for a beach day without worrying about messy fingers. While they provide a good protein punch from the peas, the 'not a low sodium food' warning is a real heads-up, so you'll want to watch your intake for the rest of the day.

These Fruit Flavored Snacks in Mixed Berry are packed with 68g of sugar per 100g, making them the sweetest option in this lineup. The use of organic rice syrup and cane sugar gives them a sticky, chewy consistency that can be really satisfying when you need a fast energy spike. I imagine these being perfect for a quick bite right before a long drive or a run, where the sugar can actually be beneficial. However, the sugar level is intense, so they might be too sweet for some palates and definitely shouldn't be an everyday snack.

Bada Bean Bada Boom crunchy broad beans offer a bold, savory kick. The wasabi powder ingredient suggests a spicy, sinus-clearing heat that pairs well with the crunch of the fava beans. With only 3g of sugar and a 9.7 score, these are a nutrient-dense option that feels substantial. I'd keep a bag in the car for a long road trip, as the protein and crunch help keep you full and alert. The trade-off is definitely the texture; broad beans are much harder than a typical chip, so they might be too tough if you have sensitive teeth.
