Low Carb Snack Foods
Low carbohydrate snack foods are an excellent way to boost and sustain energy levels. These snacks are typically easy to prepare, like raw vegetables, and can be eaten on the run. Some low-carb snack foods offer a rich source of protein that satisfies hunger pangs. Foods high in protein, like shellfish and peanut butter, metabolize slowly and do not have a high sugar content. This means you will have energy and be alert, but will avoid a sugar crash several hours later. Does this Spark an idea?

My favorite airplane snack includes lemon pepper plank salmon, cucumber slices, rye crackers, goat cheese spread, olives and a 4 ounce pours of sauvignon blanc. We usually finish this off with dark chocolate covered almonds or grapes when we are in coach.
