  • Raw veggies with dip: radishes, cauliflower, pepper strips, celery, mushrooms

  • Pork rinds with natural peanut butter and sugar-free strawberry jello (tastes like PBJ!)
  • Pork rinds with peanut butter, cup of chicken broth or boullion (reminds me of my favorite childhood lunch of peanut butter sandwich with chicken noodle soup)
  • Pork rinds dusted with Splenda and cinnamon (tastes like cinnamon twists from Taco Bell)
  • Shrimp with low carb cocktail sauce
  • Cheese sticks (cheddar jack, orange & white string cheese)

  • Turkey bratwurst (leftovers)
  • Cold chicken wings (leftovers previously roasted with seasoned salt)
  • Crystal Lite (I like the pomegranate cherry). Add chia seeds for fun.
  • Sugar-free Jello cup - chop up the Jello into cubes and add a little heavy cream. It's like Jello mixed with whipped cream and you don't even need to add sweetener)
  • Greek yogurt - add a little Crystal Lite for flavor (lemonade or cherry pomegranate is really good. Can also sprinkle with sliced almonds.)
  • Cottage cheese with berries
  • Atkins Shakes (dark chocolate royalle flavor is delicious)

  • Hot chocolate - 1/2 cup of unsweetened chocolate almond milk, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 2 teaspoons of Swiss Miss No Sugar Added hot chocolate mix (has a little over 2 carbs)
  • Sugarless cough drops, sugarless gum - not exactly "foods" but helpful for sweet cravings and for getting rid of keto breath or an unpleasant taste in the mouth
  • Cinnamon sugarless breath mints
