LOW CARB SNACK IDEAS

LOW CARB? YES PLEASE!

Alright guys, the holidays are over and we are ALL ready to get back to our normal fitness routines... RIGHT?!... No way, not at all! LOL 

 Here is a few LOW CARB snacks ideas that I have found, tried, and actually like, to help you ease your way back into your diet regime...

 GRAPES AND GRAHAMS


Want a crunchy, sweet treat that's quick and easy to whip together? Spread 1 tablespoon light cream cheese on 2 graham cracker squares and top with 1/4 cup halved grapes.


PEAR AND CHEESE


Pears and cheese go together like peanut butter and jelly. So next time you need a hearty snack, choose a small pear and a light cheese stick. 

 CHIPS AND DIP


Craving something crunchy? Go for the classic combination of chips and salsa. Choose 1/4 cup of your favorite salsa, whether it's mild, medium, or hot, and 3/4 ounce baked tortilla chips.            

 DRIED APRICOTS


Dried apricot halves are a humble little snack, but eight of them will satisfy your sweet tooth and provide 20 percent of your daily vitamin A needs! 

 STRAWBERRIES AND COTTAGE CHEESE



For a snack that mixes a serving of dairy with a serving of fresh fruit, combine 1 cup of strawberries and 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese. The combo provides a boost of vitamin C and calcium to your 
day.

PUDDING AND BANANAS


Yes, you can have pudding! Just grab 1/2 cup of your favorite sugar-free pudding flavor, top with a few slices of banana, and you're good to go. Look for versions of pudding with calcium for an extra health boost. Plus, convenient snack packs make it even easier to take this treat with you.


ENJOY!
