Clean eating snacks

Looking for some good low carb / low fat / low calorie snacks that are satisfying. I currently add ranch seasoning to plain Greek yogurt and eat with fresh raw veggies. Turkey pepperoni (15 slices) with a lite cheese stick. Looking for some new ideas. And something that doesn't break the bank like most high protein snacks. Also any naturally sweet ideas for when you get that craving.
I just started a low calorie / Keto / low fat diet and I am doing awesome. Lost 11 lbs. 1st week. I know this will slow and the cravings will grow. So any ideas are much appreciated.

I will grab a dill pickle when I just want to maw on something without any calories. Sometimes it serves me as a measure for if I actually want to snack or if there is just an emotional aspect to my desire.4

I like plain greek yogurt with frozen blueberries. Helps satisfy my ice cream craving.
Homemade hummus is really good. You can dip veggies in it or spread it on pita bread or in a wrap or sandwich.
Hard boiled eggs.
Tuna on plain rice cakes or stuffed in an avocado.
Olives and light cream cheese
I could go on. I like snacks. Lol.7 -
@treehugger88 I agree about the yogurt and fruit snack idea as a substitute for ice cream. In fact, all of your snack ideas have my mouth watering!1

I do frozen blueberries with heavy cream or half and half (only a couple tbsp so not a big fat/calorie bomb) then add fun toppings like chia seeds, cacao nibs, pecans, hemp hearts, or coconut chips. I call it my Coldstone Creamery substitute.
I buy seasoning packets or mix my own to add to cream cheese (can do low fat or use low fat Greek yogurt if trying to cut fat) and dip celery or sugar snap peas.
I make my own flaxseed bread from the nutrition refined blog recipe. Top with ricotta, or Brie, or mascarpone, or butter. Very filling.
Ricotta mixing in some maple extract or cocoa powder and erythritol, or simply paired with ghirardelli 92% dark.8 -
I like eat me guilt free as it is gluten and dairy free with 20g's of protein.0

What has 20 grams of protein?0

- Nuts and seeds (cashews, walnuts, almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds)
- Cut up veggies with seasoning (tajin is sooo yummy on cucumbers or tomato if you like tangy/spicy, Everything but the bagel seasoning is so good too, from Trader Joes)
- Cottage cheese, or plain yogurt (I am Persian and I often snack on what we call Mast-o Khiar (essentially yogurt with chopped cucumber, dried mint & dill, salt, pepper, garlic, maybe a few walnuts on top)
- Fresh fruits
- String cheese
- Protein shake
- Olives, pickles, artichokes
- Hard boiled eggs2 -
I like wrapping up turkey slices with cucumbers and tzatziki sauce and adding a boiled egg on the side.
Also like raw veggies and hummus.
I've also made a smoothie with Greek yogurt, almond milk and frozen berries.1
