What's For a Snack? Pepperoni Sticks

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | 9:00 AM | 0 comments

Freybe Pepperoni SticksSome days you just need a quick snack and even a few minutes preparing is a few minutes too long!

So it's good to have some quick low carb snacks on hand.

I was looking around our local supermarket, when I found these pepperoni sticks - one stick is only 2g carbs each, gluten-free and lactose-free!



Each stick is about 11.5 inches (4.5 cm) long, so I cut them in half, and now each 5.25 inch (2.0 cm)  stick is only 1g carb per stick!

However, these pepperoni sticks do include sugar, so you will need to test with your blood glucose meter to see how your body tolerates them. I found that eating one stick did not affect my blood sugar level at all.

If you are looking for this particular brand, I found them in The Real Canadian Superstore, here in Southern Ontario, Canada, near the deli section.
