low carb snack ideas?
So I need some low carb snack ideas. But you know, nothing in my life is ever easy. I need snacks that are low in carbs, but hopefully high in protein. I do fruit for snacks sometimes but need protein snacks too. However, I don't eat meat so I can't do things like beef jerky. At this time I really prefer to avoid dairy products, as well. I am trying to find a place to buy milk locally from pastured cows, at which time I am going to start making my own yogurt, but until then, I prefer not to buy dairy in the store.
My ideas so far are nuts, celery with almond butter, raw veggies with hummus and egg salad (I eat eggs). Any other ideas?

Did you know there was such a thing as veggie pepperoni? One of my cats loves it but the other two must be able to tell it's not real meat because they won't touch it.
Roasted chick peas is a good idea too. What do you flavor them with?

I was going to suggest melted mozzellera cheese but i see you said no dairy. I love melted cheese, nuke it for a couple minutes.
Bell pepper nachos? Use peppers (cut up) in place of chips, and put nachos toppings on .. yum!

Bell pepper nachos is a good idea. Maybe I'll put some soy cheese on them for the flavor. But I could use beans on them too for protein.

Caponata
Caponata is an eggplant salad common in Sicily. It is comprised of eggplant cubes, green olives, garlic, celery, onion diced tomatoes, vinegar and olive oil. You can add other ingredients, such as basil, parsley, black pepper and pine nuts. Salt and cook the eggplant in olive oil until soft, then add the remaining ingredients. Caponata is typically served cold, so you may choose to refrigerate this dish overnight before enjoying it as a low-carbohydrate vegan snack.
Baba Ghannouj
Baba Ghannouj is a Middle Eastern dip made from roasted eggplant, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil and fresh garlic. Grill or roast the eggplant with the skin on until it is soft, then remove the skin and place the eggplant flesh in a food processor. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Add 2 to 3 tbsp. soy yogurt to the ingredients for a creamier consistency. Enjoy warm baba ghannouj with cut fresh vegetables as a low-carb vegan snack.
