Low-Carb Snack Ideas

Are you trying a low-carb diet and would love a delicious snack? Most snacks contain carbohydrates, but thankfully, you can come up with delicious dishes using proteins, fats, and vegetables. Here are some of these recipes packed with nutrients that don’t deviate from your carbohydrate goal.

Berries and whipped cream are a perfect example of a delicious, healthy snack that’s low in calories. Berries are low-carb fruits that are both highly nutritious and low-carb. Blueberries, for example, have only eleven grams of carbohydrates per half-cup. Although, If you feel like having a drink, you can make this into a berry smoothie by blending it.

Carrot sticks dipped in peanut butter are another delicious option with a quick prep time. Carrots contain a small number of carbohydrates for a sweet vegetable, with ten baby carrots containing only 8 grams of carbs and three grams of fiber. Peanuts are also a fantastic source of monounsaturated fats, which are suitable for your heart, as well as plant protein.

Another idea to try is the avocado egg salad. One large egg contains only one gram of carbohydrates. Vitamin B12 and choline, both critical elements for brain development, are abundant in eggs. This recipe uses mashed avocado instead of mayonnaise for a unique spin on egg salad. Mash 1/2 avocado with a hard-boiled egg to produce avocado egg salad. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Avocado egg salad is delicious on its own or spread on low-carb crackers or scooped into a lettuce wrap. Another recipe you can try with eggs is deviled eggs. Slice hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise, scoop out the egg yolks, and combine with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. After that, put a dollop of the egg yolk mixture back into the egg white and sprinkle with paprika.
