Hi, I have type 1 diabetes (just like Mary Tyler Moore and Nick Jonas!) and I LOVE TO SNACK!
Here are the best low-carb snacks I've encountered in my 15 years as a T1.
And, bonus: They're all 100% gluten-free!
1. All-natural turkey or beef sticks, a delicious, hormone- and antibiotic-free alternative to the gas station classic.
2. Cheese crisps to scratch your chip itch, nearly carblessly.
3. Pickle-flavored cashews, because there aren't enough low-carb snacks covered in flavor powder, and I cannot dill with it.
4. Peanut butter packs that make a great snack, both as a solo artist or as part of an iconic duo.
5. String cheese, a zero-carb snack that will take you right back to childhood.
6. Packages of olives so you can enjoy olives wherever you are (even if you don't feel like carrying a full jar in your bag).
7. Fancy popcorn that tastes every bit as good as it looks.
8. Hard-boiled eggs, or: a little prep goes a long way.
9. Crispy coconut chips, a savory/sweet treat for when you want something a little dessert-ish (without the blood sugar spike).
10. Chili-lime pistachios for a snack with a deliciously spicy kick, aka the splurge-worthiest nut I have even encountered.
11. Larabar Crunchy Nut and Seed Bars, because sometimes you want to eat a dang granola bar.
Never let carb restrictions or gluten intolerance get in the way of ~snacking~.
