What can I snack on?
I'm a snacker and love most snacks heavy in Carbs. So what can I do when that snack craving hits me hard? Believe it or not, you can still have snacks that will help you avoid those potato chips. Just look at the picture above, except for the grapes everything on that charcuterie board is low in Carbs. Eliminate the grapes, they're high in carbs. I have also found a cracker that, eaten in moderation isn't too bad. But, don't make a habit of eating them. Sociables made by Nabisco have 9 carbs for a serving of 5 crackers. When I really want some crunch I eat peanuts. A 1/4 cup serving is only 1 net carb, if you buy lightly salted cocktail peanuts. Dry Roasted have 3 net carbs, still not too bad. When I first started Keto, I bought Pork Rinds. A 2oz. bag has zero carbs. But, watch the calories, 308 for the 2 ozs.
That takes care of salty and crunchy snacks, how about sweet? If you shop at Aldi, you're in luck. They carry a wide variety of snack bars like this one.
My favorite is the chocolate coconut but they also have many other varieties. Have you ever bought Atkins snack bars? These are a lot cheaper and just as good. 2 net carbs is awesome. I talked about Fat Bombs in a previous blog. I haven't made any lately but I did see a Pinterest recipe for a Lemon Cheesecake Fat bomb that looks yummy. I'll let you know if it's good. I'm still working on a recipe for cookies that are low Carb. I haven't had any luck just yet but I'll keep trying. If you've got one that you think is great, please let me know in the comments section below. I would really like to see more comments or questions if you have them. Happy Snacking 🙋💖

Don’t eat the bananas either, they are loaded with carbs.
