you need this easy no carb snack in your life
You need this easy no carb snack in your life if you:
- want to satisfy your snack cravings with something healthy that has zero carbs
- prefer making healthy snacks but need something that quick and easy to put together
- love snacks that also make great gifts and party food
- are on the keto diet
- are on a sugar detox and need something to crush your sweet tooth craving
- love nuts (if you don’t this recipe definitely isn’t for you #wink)
This is one of my new favorite recipes because it takes little effort to make, is completely addictive and pleases a crowd.
But I created it out of necessity…I needed something to help my husband and I survive the first week of the full sugar detox that’s part of my new 28 Day Sugar Detox program where there are no carbs allowed. Lord, have mercy.
Earlier this week, I shared more about that which you can check out here. Or go here to learn more about the 28 Day Sugar Detox program. If you want to see how my husband and I survived that first week, I share that with my VIP newsletter readers in a video. Not already a VIP? Sign up here and I’ll send that video your way.
Snacking can make or break your commitment to sticking to a healthy diet, especially a sugar detox, which is why you absolutely need an arsenal of right options at your fingertips. It’s the difference between being hungry and hangry.
This easy no carb snack is a mix of nuts & seeds with a savory seasoning. I’ve included my suggestions for which nuts & seeds to use below, but feel free to experiment with your favorites, especially if you have a nut allergy.
Easy No Carb Snack: Savory Nut Mix
- 3 cups mixed nuts*
- 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 2 T coconut aminos
- 3/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Stir the coconut aminos, garlic powder and salt in a medium bowl to dissolve the seasoning. Stir in nuts and mix until well-coated. Spread on an ungreased baking sheet and pop in a 350 F oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven, stir and return to oven for another 5 minutes. Turn off heat, open the door a crack and leave the nut mix for an additional 5 minutes or until cool. Store in an airtight jar.
*RECIPE NOTES
I use a combination of 1 cup almonds, 1 cup peanuts and a 1/2 cup each of pecans and walnuts. I get my coconut aminos from Trader Joes, but you also can find it online.
