Low Carb Snacks on the Go – 4 Ways!

I’m always traveling or running errands, which means that I’m always looking for a quick snack to grab and take with me. And while I’ve made a habit out of prepping my veggies as soon as I get home from the market, sometimes I want something a little extra. That’s why I put together these Low Carb Snacks on the Go! They have a little bit of everything, and they’re the perfect treat that you can take with you on busy days.
How To Make Perfect Low Carb Snacks On The Go!
There’s a few key ingredients here to make these nutritionally balanced. Which I’m really focusing on these days, because when you eat better, you feel better. So I try to add a little bit from each category of these key items:
- Veggies. Most people don’t eat enough vegetables nowadays. I know I’m guilty of this! So when I put together my low carb snacks on the go, I try to incorporate as many veggies as I can, in as many bright beautiful colors as I can. Not only do we eat with our eyes first, the veggies also have different nutrients, so varying the colors helps you get everything you need to feel your best.
- Protein. I always need a protein, or I’ll be hungry an hour later. For this I try to choose things like boiled eggs (which are also loaded with vitamin E), or cold cuts. In the low carb snacks on the go featured here I chose turkey, salami, and ham. I also paired these with cheese for some flavor. Ham and swiss, anyone?
- Healthy Fats. Healthy fats are a must if you want to feel full, plus they’re great for your skin! Today I’ve chosen olives, a plant-based healthy fat option. You can also use avocados, or a drizzle of flax seed oil on your veggies.
- A small amount of carbs. These are low carb, not no carb. I like to have a few bites of something with carbs to help keep my energy levels up. Today I have a handful of gluten free crackers. You can also choose a healthy fruit like strawberries or grapes!
For these snack boxes I used Pearls Olives!® Olives to Go. I love these guys, they’re really easy to grab and go so you can have a quick snack when traveling. Plus, they’re gluten free! And they fit in your purse!
And unlike the canned olives, these don’t have a lot of liquid so they really don’t make a mess. My favorite is the black olives, or I’ll use the kalamata olives over a plain greek yogurt. These also come in Taco, Sriracha or Italian Herb infused flavors. They’re a great way to incorporate some extra plant based snacks into your daily routine, without too much fuss.
You can find them in the snack isle of your local grocery store, in all different flavors.
What are some no carb snacks?
I don’t know what it is, but I generally feel better when I keep the carbs in a healthy range. And if you’re like me, who can down a whole bowl of gluten free pasta and go back for seconds, it’s important to keep some low carb options around the house for when the snack cravings start. Here are a few of my favorites:
- Olives, because they’re a healthy fat, too!
- Cut up veggies like carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.
- Cold cuts like turkey or ham.
- Hard boiled eggs
- Apples and cheese
- Cottage cheese and mango
Are eggs low carb?
Yes, eggs contain very little carbohydrates. What they do have is plenty of vitamins and protein, to keep you satiated, and they’re only about 80 calories per large egg! Try not to go too crazy, though, because while eggs are low carb, they are not low in fat. But as long as your diet is balanced, snack away! I always keep a bowl of hard boiled eggs in my refrigerator.

Great ideas. I am a Diabetic and these are going to be the perfect lunch or snack. Although I will have to tweak a couple of things for my diet restrictions, I couldn’t be more pleased with what you have put together. The pictures are a great addition. Ty
