If you’re following a low carb diet, you don’t have to eat low carb low fat snacks.
It’s a natural consequence of reducing carbs that you would increase fat intake, along with increasing protein a bit too.
However, if there is a drive to eat low fat snacks, here are 10 great healthy options.
1. Snack La’ Fresh
It’s always refreshing to chow down on a variety of freshly cut vegetables. Choose any vegetables and much away at your pleasure.
2. Cucumber Crackers
Slice up cucumber as a replacement for crackers. For a low fat version, skip the cheese and avocado or nuts. Instead, top your crackers with tomato and a few chicken strips.
3. Fresh Strawberries or Berries
A small portion of fresh berries—strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries—makes a sweet and satisfying treat.
4. Dips & Veg
There are many store-bought low carb, low fat dips you can get to pair with some fresh veggie dipping sticks. Try a ranch, hummus, tzatziki, beetroot or yogurt-based dip. Or, make your own homemade dip.
5. Cucumber Rolls
Wrap up some cucumber rolls by slicing thin cucumber, topping with some avocado or a dip, along with alfalfa. Roll up for a fancy option.
6. Baked Cauliflower
Baked cauliflower is delicious. For extra flavor add some curry powder or Cajun seasoning. Keep a big container full and grab a snack when you need it.
7. Parcel Baked Chicken
Protein satisfies the appetite, so try cooking up some parcel baked chicken to keep in the fridge. You can pre-slice it and just grab a piece when you’re hungry. Spread a bit of low carb low fat dip over the top for extra flavor.
8. Olives
Olives do contain some fat, but it’s not that much and it’s all super heart-healthy monounsaturated fat. About 6 per serve is all you need to fill the gap.
9. Cucumber Tuna Bites
Take a tin of tuna, some pepper and lemon, lime and mustard and mix together in a bowl. Slice up some cucumber and fill like mini sandwiches for a tasty delight.
10. Kale Chips
Crispy, salty, munchy – that’s all you want out of a chip. Thankfully there is a way to have low carb low fat chips, and it all comes down to kale. Okay, kale as a cooked veggie is not everyone’s favorite, but baking it until crisp might just surprise you so please give it a try.
There’s no shortage of ideas on low carb low fat snacks. Hopefully these 10 ideas will get your creative juices flowing – and your tastebuds too!
