My favorite QUICK snacks
 

1. Cut up celery sticks, zucchini sticks, jicama sticks and other low-carb vegetables. Serve veggies of choice with blue cheese dressing for dipping.

2. Wrap cold cut ham, roast beef, turkey and cheese around a pickle spear.

3. Make your own deviled stuffed eggs. Use mayonnaise, mustard, paprika, garlic powder, ham, celery, onion and capers.

4. Enjoy homemade guacamole. Combine green onions, jalapenos peppers, cilantro, lime juice and tomato.

5. Keep small amounts of hard cheese on hand.

6. Indulge in a small handful of nuts or pumpkin seeds.

7. Toast a piece of low-carb bread and top it with unsweetened peanut butter.

8. Make your own fricos. Put small mounds of cheddar cheese on a baking sheet, then cook until crisp.

9. Whip up a batch of mini pizzas. Use a round cookie cutter on low-carb bread. Add a tablespoon of controlled-carb tomato sauce. Top with shredded mozzarella and oregano. Bake in the oven.

10. Fill a low-carb tortilla with a thin layer of hummus. Top with sprouts and thinly sliced tomatoes.

Other snack ideas include:

Make a batch of decaf iced tea. Add the sugar substitute Splenda and lemon juice. Freeze in plastic Popsicle mold for a cool snack.

Put fresh berries in the freezer for a refreshing treat. Serve with cream.

I also like to eat the low carb, snack bars. Problem is some are just yucky! Here are the ones I enjoy.

Click on "health & wellness"
Then "healthywize"
Then on the left "order products"
Then "all products" scroll down to find the bars

I emailed them, and they put me on a preferred customer status in order to receive them at a discount.

Best of luck in your weight loss endeavors!

The inevitable snacks
 

Those late night munchies call for a crunch so I take a celery stalk and fill it with no-carb beanit butter.. MAN I love that stuff..

I like pork rinds with a cheese spread or salsa.

Wow, there are a lot of great snack ideas here. Thanks everyone! Keep 'em coming, this is really helpful!

Hard salami and cheese. Now also fresh raw not cooked green beans, yummmyyyyyyy.

i saw a reference to beanit butter, was this a typo or is there really such thing? if so i'd like to know more about it.

Well...I love hot foods and so I love to stuff a Jalapeno with cheese and warm up on both sides in a little oil until cheese melts. Also, stuff a jalapeno with cream cheese and pop in your mouth-YUMMY. Also, fill a 1/4 half of green pepper with cream cheese.

I just discovered a good crunchie snack. I was feeling like gnawing a bit and grabbed some Atkins dry cereal. It's Mornign Start Crunchy Almond Crisp. I just ate it out of the box. Not bad for a nice crunchy, slighty sweet snack. It's 3 grams per 2/3 cup. I may never have it with low carb milk again.

Ohhh and can't forget devilled eggs.

Peanut Butter
 

Is it true that unsweetened peanut butter is okay? If so, is this something you can easily find at a grocery store?

Devilled eggs. I've never had to make them. Any quick "directions" how to make devilled eggs?

Thanks everyone,

Daryl

Yes on the peanut butter - but don't be fooled by any old brand that has slapped "low carb" on the label. Make sure that it's natural peanut butter, with no added sugar or trans fats.

It should be easy to find at any grocery store :thup: I buy my own (Canadian) store brand, and Addam's is a brand that might be available at your store.

Be sure to count the carbs and watch the portion size - it's easy to go overboard. :daze:

when i dont' cook a.k.a lazy usually almond, cheddar, protein drink, natural peanut butter (pb is my best quick fix)

altho do need more ideas

After reading this whole thread.... are there any of these snacks a no-no on Induction? LOL :)
