16 Low-Carb Snacks That Support Healthy Digestion

Finding tasty snacks that keep you satisfied while supporting your digestive health can feel challenging. These fiber-rich, low-carb options deliver both flavor and nutrition.

Each recipe focuses on wholesome ingredients that naturally promote regularity while keeping carbs in check for your wellness goals.

01. Homemade Dehydrated Strawberry Chips

Sweet and chewy strawberry chips with intense fruity flavor made right in your oven. These naturally fiber-rich treats satisfy your sweet tooth while supporting digestive health.

Ingredients: 2 pounds fresh strawberries, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, pinch of salt.

How To Make Homemade Dehydrated Strawberry Chips

1. Preheat your oven to its lowest setting, typically around 170°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside for easy cleanup later.

2. Remove green tops from strawberries and slice each berry lengthwise into ¼-inch thick pieces. I recommend using a sharp knife for even slices that will dry uniformly.

3. Gently toss sliced strawberries with lemon juice, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl. The lemon juice helps preserve color and adds brightness to the final flavor.

4. Arrange strawberry slices in single layers on prepared baking sheets, ensuring pieces don’t overlap. Overlapping will cause uneven drying and chewy spots.

5. Bake for 6-8 hours, flipping slices every 2 hours until edges are slightly crispy and centers remain slightly chewy. Cool completely before storing in airtight containers.

02. Pizza-Flavored Pistachio Mix

Crunchy pistachios coated with savory pizza seasonings for an addictive snack. Nutritional yeast creates that cheesy pizza flavor without any dairy products.

Ingredients: 2 cups shelled pistachios, 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt to taste.

How To Make Pizza-Flavored Pistachio Mix

1. Preheat oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This lower temperature prevents the nuts from burning while allowing flavors to develop.

2. Combine nutritional yeast, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly to distribute spices evenly.

3. Toss pistachios with olive oil in a large bowl until all nuts are lightly coated. The oil helps seasonings stick and promotes even browning.

4. Sprinkle spice mixture over oiled pistachios and toss until evenly coated. Add salt to taste and mix once more for balanced seasoning throughout.

5. Spread seasoned pistachios on prepared baking sheet and roast for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through. Cool completely before serving for maximum crunchiness.

03. Herb-Crusted Garlic Pecans

Aromatic pecans infused with fresh rosemary and garlic create an elegant snack. These savory nuts work perfectly for entertaining or solo snacking sessions.

Ingredients: 3 cups pecan halves, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 4 garlic cloves minced, 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped, 1 teaspoon sea salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper.

How To Make Herb-Crusted Garlic Pecans

1. Preheat oven to 325°F and spread pecans on a large rimmed baking sheet. Toast for 8-10 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, stirring once halfway through.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

3. Add toasted pecans to the skillet with garlic oil and toss to coat evenly. The warm nuts will absorb the garlic-infused oil beautifully.

4. Sprinkle chopped rosemary, salt, pepper, and cayenne over the nuts. Toss everything together for 2-3 minutes until herbs become aromatic and pecans are well-coated.

5. Transfer seasoned pecans back to the baking sheet and roast for an additional 5-7 minutes until deeply golden and crispy. Cool completely before storing.

04. Everything Bagel Seasoned Almonds

Crunchy roasted almonds coated with popular everything bagel seasoning blend. Grinding the seasoning helps it stick better and creates more intense flavor.

Ingredients: 2 cups raw almonds, 3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, extra salt if needed.

How To Make Everything Bagel Seasoned Almonds

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This higher temperature creates the perfect crispy texture for almonds.

2. Pulse everything bagel seasoning in a spice grinder or small food processor until coarsely ground. This helps the seasoning adhere better to the nuts.

3. Toss almonds with olive oil in a large bowl until evenly coated. The oil acts as a binding agent for the seasonings.

4. Add ground everything seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder to the oiled almonds. Toss thoroughly until all nuts are evenly coated with spices.

5. Spread seasoned almonds on prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 12-15 minutes, stirring once, until golden brown and fragrant. Taste and add extra salt if desired.

05. Crispy Spiced Chickpea Snacks

Perfectly crispy chickpeas seasoned with warm paprika and cumin spices. These protein-packed bites make an excellent crunchy snack or salad topper.

Ingredients: 2 cans chickpeas drained and rinsed, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper.

How To Make Crispy Spiced Chickpea Snacks

1. Preheat oven to 400°F and pat drained chickpeas completely dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture is crucial for achieving maximum crispiness.

2. Spread dried chickpeas on a large baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes. This initial roasting helps remove remaining moisture before adding seasonings.

3. Remove chickpeas from oven and toss with olive oil until evenly coated. The warm chickpeas will absorb the oil more effectively than cold ones.

4. Combine paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle spice mixture over oiled chickpeas and toss until well-coated.

5. Return seasoned chickpeas to oven and roast for 20-25 minutes more, stirring every 10 minutes, until deeply golden and crispy throughout. Cool completely before serving.

06. Chocolate Blueberry Energy Bites

No-bake energy balls packed with dried blueberries, pecans, and cacao nibs. These naturally sweet treats provide sustained energy and satisfying fiber content.

How To Make Chocolate Blueberry Energy Bites

1. Pulse pecans in a food processor until they form coarse crumbs with some larger pieces remaining. You want texture, not smooth pecan butter.

2. Add dried blueberries and cacao nibs to the processor and pulse briefly to chop them into smaller pieces that will distribute evenly throughout the mixture.

3. Add almond butter, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla, and salt to the processor. Pulse until mixture holds together when pressed but still has visible texture.

4. Transfer mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Chilling makes the mixture easier to handle and helps the balls hold their shape better.

5. Roll chilled mixture into 16 small balls using your hands. Store in refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.

07. Smoky Grilled Eggplant Dip

Creamy eggplant dip with bright lime and fresh cilantro flavors. Grilling the eggplant adds incredible smoky depth that makes this dip absolutely irresistible.

How To Make Smoky Grilled Eggplant Dip

1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Pierce eggplants all over with a fork to prevent bursting, then brush skins with olive oil for even cooking.

2. Grill whole eggplants for 25-30 minutes, turning every 5-7 minutes, until skin is charred and flesh feels very soft when pressed gently with tongs.

3. Transfer grilled eggplants to a cutting board and cool for 10 minutes. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out all the soft flesh, discarding the charred skins.

4. Mash eggplant flesh in a large bowl with a fork until mostly smooth with some texture remaining. Stir in minced garlic, lime juice, cilantro, and jalapeño.

5. Season with salt and pepper, then taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately with vegetable sticks or refrigerate for up to three days.

How To Make Fresh Guacamole with Pepper Strips

1. Cut avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop flesh into a medium bowl. Mash with a fork until you achieve your preferred texture, leaving some chunks for interest.

2. Immediately add fresh lime juice and mix well to prevent browning. The acid in lime juice helps preserve the bright green color of avocados.

3. Fold in minced garlic, diced red onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro. Mix gently to distribute ingredients evenly without over-mashing the avocado.

4. Season generously with salt and pepper, then taste and adjust seasonings. The salt really brings out the flavors, so don’t be shy with it.

09. Creamy Green Avocado Hummus

Vibrant green hummus made extra creamy with ripe avocado and aquafaba. This protein-rich dip comes together in minutes using just your food processor.

Ingredients: 1 can chickpeas drained (reserve liquid), 1 large ripe avocado, 3 tablespoons aquafaba (chickpea liquid), 2 tablespoons tahini, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 2 garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon cumin, 2 tablespoons olive oil.

How To Make Creamy Green Avocado Hummus

2. Add halved avocado, aquafaba, tahini, lemon juice, garlic cloves, salt, and cumin to the processor. The aquafaba creates incredible creaminess without dairy.

2. Spread dried chickpeas on a large baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes without any oil or seasonings. This initial roasting removes moisture for better crispiness.

3. Remove hot chickpeas from oven and immediately toss with olive oil while they’re still warm. The heat helps the oil penetrate for better flavor absorption.

4. Combine both paprikas, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle spice mixture over oiled chickpeas and toss until evenly coated.

5. Return seasoned chickpeas to oven and roast for 15-20 minutes more, stirring every 7-8 minutes, until deeply golden and crispy. Cool completely before storing.

How To Make Italian Pizza Lettuce Cups

1. Carefully separate lettuce leaves and select the 12 largest, most cup-shaped pieces. Gently wash and thoroughly dry each leaf with paper towels for best results.

2. Warm marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat for 2-3 minutes until heated through. This prevents the cold sauce from wilting the lettuce leaves.

3. Arrange lettuce cups on a serving platter and spoon about 1 teaspoon of warm marinara into each cup, spreading gently to avoid tearing the delicate leaves.

4. Top each cup with diced mozzarella, chopped pepperoni, and fresh basil. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning for authentic pizza flavor.
