Kirkland
5 Kirkland Organic Blue Agave
Since it is made by bees, honey is not considered vegetarian by most. But you don’t have to miss the sweet, sugary syrup, because agave, which comes from the agave plant, is the perfect alternative. Use it while you’re baking, add it to milkshakes, or crumble it over granola—the options are endless.

6 Kiss My Keto Gummy Candy
Most gummy candies contain gelatin, which comes from animal bones and ligaments. But if that doesn’t sound all that appetizing, there are plenty of vegetarian options. These gummy fish from Kiss My Keto are made with pectin and tapioca fiber instead.
