When you're looking for a snack to have with your veggies, hummus can be a great way to change things up a bit. My wife and I both enjoy using peppers and broccoli with hummus for a treat. It's a healthy snack that is a great substitute for unhealthy dips and high carb snacks. Most hummas can have a serving size of anywhere from 5-10 Net carbs a serving.

The only issue that I have is that I tend to like to use a lot of hummus on my veggies, and the amount can collect up pretty fast causing the serving size to double or even triple. Eight carbs can seem reasonable for a serving size, but when your serving size doubles because you aren't paying attention to how much you are eating, then that can be a problem.

If that sounds like you, I suggest measuring out your serving size in a small cup then eat out of that cup. If you are dunking your veggies right into the container, you are going to increase your chances of going over board on the hummus. It will help you to take your time and savor your snack a bit too before it is gone.

If you are looking for something to help satisfy those cravings for chips and salty snacks, I may have something that might just do the trick.

Snapea Crisps are a snack made from Peas. Baked and then lightly salted. I can't really say to much about the process of how its all done, only that the big machine make them look like peas again even though that's what they looked like when they first started. Seems a little uncreative to me.

The taste is pretty good. The texture is what might throw some people off here. Snapea Crisps have a flakiness about them that is a little different. All in all if you like salty snacks and usually gravitate towards potato chips or other things like that these may be a great substitute for you.

12 Carbs in like 30 Crisps.

That's not too bad for a quick snack. Just maybe not a good choice for those of you on the Induction phase.

Level, a newer company that makes products that are low carb, help to fight hunger, and promote healthy blood sugar focuses its efforts a little bit more on diabetics, but still has some products that will benefit those of use on a low Carb Diet.

The Level Classic Vanilla Protein Shake is a force to not be reckoned with. I have had my share of low carb shakes, and I usually enjoy them enough, but they never really make me too excited as they usually have a strong vitamin taste. This shake by Level does the opposite. This this is super delicious. It almost tastes like a real vanilla milk shake. It's sweet and full of flavor and although it does have a lot of beneficial vitamins, it doesn't have too strong of a taste. Its also fairly thick so it helps to really fill the hole in your gut either for a snack or a treat. It's a very yummy shake. I think this one beats Atkins brand for me in terms of flavor. I would have it again in a heartbeat.

The downside is that, at least online, they are a few dollars more than Atkins shakes. I don't know what the price is in the store, but if its less then its probably worth it.
