| | | Nutritious snacks I was thinking that everyone could give ideas for low carb snack food. I am sure this has been done before but since I am new to the forum, I did not see it.
I'll start. Ham/pickle rolls....
You take a slice of ham (a little thick), spread cream cheese on it, put in a pickle (garlic or dill) roll up, chill, slice and eat.
They are very good. I've been making these for years for partys. Anyone else have any ideas? |

| | | I do the lunch meat rollups for lunch a lot...i'll roll lunch meat of choice in a low-carb tortilla, add cheese, salsa, lettuce, sour cream...its quite tasty and filling.
May favorite "no-fuss" snacks are nuts, cheese, pork rinds, s/f jello pudding, s/f jello, low-carb ice cream from Breyers.

All you do is slice up a whole cucumber(skin on or off) mix it with sour cream, cherry tomatoes dill and minced green onion. You can add any other seasoning to your taste. Enjoy.

| | | Cheese, glorious cheese! I love the Kerrygold Swiss. Yum, yum. Also, peanuts, almonds, cashews. I also do cheese/deli meat roll-ups.
Two peanut butter w/cheese crackers.
Edy's (Dreyers (sp?) on the West Coast) has s/f frozen fruit bars that are very tasty.
Breyer's carb smart ice cream or the treats.
S/f Jell-O or pudding.
