Low Carb Snack Options

For a quick snack that is high in vitamin C and K, try raw sliced cucumbers either salted or with your favorite low fat dipping sauce. Make sure and check the carbs on your dipping sauce. Low fat brands may replace the fat with sugar. Cucumbers are low in carbs and sodium, making them a healthy option for a low calorie diet. Avoid the pickled varieties as the pickling process removes much of their nutritional value and increases their sodium content. For a nearly seedless variety, look for English hothouse cucumbers at your grocery store.
