Isn’t the best part of the sandwich what’s inside the bread? Instead of swearing off sandwiches, take a tip from the Diet Doctor and start using big leaves of lettuce, chard, or collards as vessels for your favorite sandwich fillings.

3. Goat-Cheese Covered Grapes

Here’s a low-carb snack that will seem a little strange at first glance, but you might just get addicted to it.

Here’s another guacamole recipe you can try for your next meal.

 

5. Pickled Avocado

We’ve done a lot of things with avocado, but until now, pickling wasn’t one of them.

    I just started doing low carb diet and these snacks are awesome! Thanks a lot for sharing these!

  • Lori says:

    Some of these sound delicious! I want to mention that if you are doing Extremely low carbs (ie. Keto, other low carb diets, where Every gram counts) a couple of these can easily have the carbs lowered – ie.for #6, think about skipping the banana slices, just use strawberries, and also, skip the pistachios (#24) in favor of pecans. #15, the Broccoli Balls look particularly delicious(!), but cashews are relatively much higher in carbs that other nuts, so I might try subbing pecans or walnuts, maybe even almonds. Thanks for the suggestions!
