Many diet fads come and go, but the low carb diet seems like it will be sticking around for a while. Popular healthy eating trends, like the keto diet offer a way for people to cut carbs which can help them lose weight, and potentially prevent other serious health issues like diabetes, and certain types of cardiovascular disease. For this reason, many consumers are seeking out convenient, low carb snacks that also offer a good source of protein.

As health-conscious consumers continue to prioritize low-carb options in their snacking preferences, the market has responded with a bunch of innovative and delicious alternatives to traditional carb-heavy snacks. From crispy pickles, to savory nuts, hearty beef jerky, or light and crunchy pork rinds, the options for satisfying your case of the munchies with low carb, and keto-friendly snack options is virtually endless!

At Redstone Foods, we have an extensive selection of some of the most popular low carb snacks available today.

Pickles Pack a Hunger-Busting Punch!

Who says healthy snacking has to be boring? Pickles, with their crisp texture and tangy taste are the perfect low-carb snack to satisfy your cravings, while adding a burst of exciting flavor to your day! These treats are packed with an impressive array of essential nutrients, like potassium, vitamin K, and antioxidants, all while being a good source of fiber, which helps your stomach feel full.

Pickles are made from cucumbers, which are technically, botanically a fruit since they have seeds inside of them, so when your dieting guide says eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, you’ve got a winner when you choose to snack on a pickle! With the addition of being naturally gluten free, makes pickles the perfect low-carb, health-conscious snack.

Redstone Foods has a wide variety of different types of pickles, from classic dill pickles, to ultra-popular chamoy pickles, to candied pickles flavored with Sour Warheads Candy, and even blazing hot and spicy pickles. With all these options, we’ve got all of your snack cravings covered in the pickle realm! Take a look at just a few of our many options:
