9 of My Favorite Low Carb Snacks!

-

Let's talk snacks! Whether you have a little extra time, or on the go these snacks are winners in my book.


Images taken from a few sites that show some of my favorite snacks to eat which cover salty to sweet, and easy to oven!

Lily's Chocolates -click this link to order these super yummy treats. They are ridiculously low in carbs, but not in taste. My favorite go to when I need chocolate!
 Whisps - click this link to try a 3 pack assortment. Great substitute for chips when you feel like dipping, and getting that extra crunch.

Hard Boiled Eggs - what a great way to get your fats in and fill up. Make them at the beginning of the work week and grab them on the go!

2 Ingredient Mousse - This one isn't perfectly Keto friendly because of the pudding ingredients, but for those on Low Carb this will be a great low carb substitute for pudding.

Pork Rinds - One of the most versatile cooking item when making low carb food, but as a snack they are perfect the way they are.

String Cheese - A classic treat that even kids will love. A quick afternoon snack that will keep you going!

Jalapeno Chips - This is my husband's absolute favorite low carb snack. He makes them on a sunday and they are gone so fast. It has a hot taste that has you making more.

Salami - or any deli meats. This treat is perfect alone or rolled with your favorite cheese. Bake the salami and you can make them into a chip substitute.

Pepper Nachos - One of the more time consuming BUT very rewarding snack! Great for watching movies or parties. This snack / appetizer is hearty and yummy, with many topping combinations to make it your own!

What are your favorite snacks?

Keto Costco Ultimate Shopping List

I love Costco for Keto friendly foods! Bulk size and alot of the time you pay regular sized prices! It may be a big bill up front, but in the long run you will save. I would say that’s a win-win! This is going to be an extensive list, but because products are ever changing and sometimes available for certain times, all of these may not be there when you go. Some pictures also have prices, which may be different at your store! Here is a picture of my haul my patient husband and I did! Total spent was $100! Before we get started you will need to know what type of Keto you follow. Check out this link:  What type of Keto are you?  These items will all fit under the Dirty Keto definition, but not all will fit under Strict Keto. If you are Strict Keto please check your labels in regards to the ingredients so that you only buy for the plan you are on. First I am going to list my top 11 Costco must haves:  Egg Thins!! These are only 8 calories each! Use them as torti...

Ready for a pastry that you will love? This recipe will have 3 variations, which I hope will also inspire you to create your own combination. We are first going to make a basic fat head dough, and create a filling! The top left is my peach / cream cheese pastry, I love peach and have been missing the flavor of it. The top right, which is hands down the best of the 3 is strawberry / cream cheese! I could eat this every meal of every day! Lastly the bottom of the bunch, was also my least favorite, I used Lily's Chocolate mixed with cream cheese. It was ... well it was ok. I rather spend my macros on the other two. But I thought I would still share in case you have a better idea and would like to make this better!! *******Disclaimer ******* if you are strict keto (ingredients are clean and you don't eat naughty things), then the fillings, except for the chocolate one will not work for you. You will, however, be able to use the the strawberry filling if you use store bou...
