Protein bars are great snacks for workouts, or frankly any time at all. And these protein bars don’t disappoint.
They are full of peanut butter and chocolate goodness. They are also super easy to make; all you need are 4 ingredients.
The secret to these protein bars being low carb is that you use Stevia to sweeten them. So they have way fewer carbs than traditional protein bars.
And to boost the protein content, you use vanilla protein powder. Make sure that your protein powder is not only high in protein but also low in carbs.
These protein bars are great just as they are. Or, you can enjoy them with a nice cup of coffee or tea.

Tuna is packed with protein and has zero carbs, so it makes for the perfect low carb, high protein snack. As a bonus, it is chock full of omega3s, which are good for your heart and brain too.
However, you usually put tuna salad in bread. So, that adds on the carbs.
This recipe ditches the bread. Instead, you put your tuna salad in pretty boats made of scooped out cucumber.
This makes your tuna salad extra refreshing. In fact, I prefer these to tuna salad sandwiches.
The tuna salad is super creamy and really good for you too. That’s because you use both mayonnaise and Greek yogurt, which is rich in gut-friendly probiotics.
These cucumber boats make a nice snack. But you can even use them as a nice light lunch too.
