- If you follow a low-carb diet, or even if you're just trying to cut back on carbs a little, finding snacks while you're out and about can be difficult.
- To help you out, we rounded up a list of the most delicious low-carb snacks you can buy to take on the go - ones that won't make you miss the carbs at all.
Carbohydrates, especially the refined kind, can cause blood sugar to temporarily spike, which explains why you feel that midday slump after enjoying a hefty serving of pasta for lunch. Whether you're trying to avoid that energy crash or have other personal reasons why you'd like to lower your intake of carbs, a good place to start is with the snacks you carry around every day.
It's generally easy to eat low-carb when you're cooking meals for yourself or out at a restaurant. Natural, whole foods are always a reliable and healthy option. But when you're traveling or just need some easy snacks to throw in your backpack before a long day, things can get a little trickier.
Luckily, there are plenty of delicious, portable low-carb snacks that don't require an ounce of work on your part to prep. Whether you're looking for some snacks that will stop the dreaded midday slump, or bites that comply with your lifestyle and dietary preferences, there are plenty of low-carb, packaged snack options out there. The best part is, these all actually taste good, so you'll love them even if you love carbs, too.
You can find most of these snacks on Amazon or Thrive Market. Thrive Market is an online grocery with a selection of over 6,000 products from sustainable and organic brands. Most prices at Thrive Market are cheaper than you'll find at other grocery stores, but you have to pay an annual membership fee of $59.95 to access these prices. New members can sign up for a free 30-day trial to see if Thrive Market is right for your lifestyle.
