If I don't have something ready to grab, I will stand in front of the fridge for an unreasonable amount of time and walk away with a handful of shredded cheese directly from the bag. Not the worst outcome, but not exactly a snack either. Having a running list of snacks I can actually throw together fast has saved me from a lot of those moments, like ham pinwheels or pork rind nachos. Or, if I want something sweet, I love 3 ingredient chocolate mousse.
Below, you'll find 25 quick keto snack ideas to cover whatever you're in the mood for. Some are savory and crunchy, some are sweet, and a few work as a small meal. All of them are under 8 net carbs and take about 2 minutes to make. Whether you're at your desk, about to head out the door, or just need something before dinner, you'll find something delicious.

I agree with you on wanting to see the recipe, Like the Chocolate Mousse how much of each ingredients do you use to make this, it sounds great but without knowing how much of each ingredient to use to make this no one would know what this would really taste like.
