Martina Slajerova, Dana Carpender, and Landria Voigt have teamed up to create a beautifully illustrated book of snacking ideas for those eating paleo or low carb. I am impressed by the variety, and by the availability of recipes for restricted diets. The photos make the options look delicious and the instructions make them seem doable. There are recipes for nut butters, and as those are expensive items it will be interesting to see what savings happen from making them at home. There is a section dedicated to "fat bombs" and they look extremely doable. I appreciated that there arent a lot of exotic ingredients, most of them are easily obtainable.
I received my copy through NetGalley under no obligation.

I've recently been attempting to try low- carb/keto and have found it difficult because I have a super sweet tooth and just didn't know what to eat. It's a little easier to find dinner ideas, but snacks, especially ones for my sweet tooth that aren't long, difficult processes are a little different. Sometimes I do want cookies or brownies, but other times I don't want to sit and wait for a cake to bake and cool. Sometimes I want something that I can make and eat over the bowl like a goblin who hasn't eaten in a month.
This book has both.
Seriously, the first chapter would make this worth the purchase for me. I didn't even get through it before I started adding ingredients to my shopping list. Seriously, coconut pecan butter, get in my belly NOW.

Now, down to the info. This book assumes you already know the ins and outs of eating low-carb and saves you the chapter on reviewing it. If you aren't familiar, there are tons of articles online that would be way more helpful anyways.
Each recipe is easy to read and very detailed. There is an at a glance icon at the top of each recipe to warn you if the recipe contains common allergens (nuts, dairy, egg) and each recipe contains nutritional info, including a macro ration for those that count macros.
It also contains a serving size, which is beyond helpful because "yields 36 cookies" is apparently not the same as a serving size... not that I've done that.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some nut butters and fat bombs calling my name.

*I received a copy of this book from netgalley in exchange for my review.

This is a well thought out book of recipes without carbs! The less carbs eat, the better I always feel, so I enjoyed this cookbook and will definitely use several of the recipes. I appreciate that the offer, at the beginning, differentiated between different kinds of diets such as low-carb, Keto,, and paleo.

Thanks to Netgalley, the author, and publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds Press for a copy of Super Low-Carb Snacks, 100 Delicious Keto and Paleo Treats for Fat Burning and Great Nutrition by Martina Slajerova, Dana Carpender, and Landria Voigt. This cookbook starts with an introduction all about snacking including the fact that 24% of our calories are from snacks.

Then come the chapters with the recipes. Chapter 1 is Basics, things like nut butters that can be used in other recipes. Some of my favorite recipes from Chapter 1 are the Chocolate-Hazelnut Butter and Berry Nut Butter. Chapter 2 is for school and work snacks. These recipes focus on protein which improves concentration levels and Omega-3s and other beneficial fatty acids which are crucial to a well-functioning brain. My favorite recipes were Bacon Cauliflower Soup, Cauliflower Pizza Bites, Supersmart Bars.

Chapter 3 is At-Home Snacks, which can also be considered “appetizers.” My favorite recipes from this chapter are Cauliflower Hummus and Roasted Pepper Dip. Chapter 4 is On the Go Snacks and includes recipes that are easy to transport, including Chocolate Chip Muffins and Chile-Lime Peanuts. Chapter 5 is Sippable Snacks including Creamy Dark Hot Chocolate and Chocolate Hazelnut Smoothies. The last chapter is Safe Snacking which includes nut/dairy/egg free recipes. From Chapter 6 I really enjoyed the Chocolate Avocado Truffles and Stilton and Chive Fat Bombs.

The book started with pictures with every recipe, but there were fewer pictures as you read on. There are also a few hard to find ingredients. There was a great index that was searchable by ingredient, not just by recipe. Overall this book was okay, but not my favorite. I am not much of a snack person, so that does affect my opinion. I did find many new ways to eat Cauliflower. Overall, I did like the variety of recipes, but will not be making them too often.

Excellent recipes and snack ideas for beginners and not so beginners in the low carb lifestyle. I have tried the low carb lifestyle for a while and I am always happy to get new tips and new ideas. This book had some great ones and is a must have for low carb eaters no matter where they are on their healthy eating journey.

Having recently gone to a dietitian and being told I'm not eating enough, I was extremely interested in reading this galley. Right off the bat, I was happy to read 'the importance of healthy snacking' since I'm always torn about the benefits of snacking (done right of course) versus eating what's in the break room. The book is simply and beautifully laid out with macronutrient ratios included (very helpful!) and great recipes I'd never consider ('chocolate chip cookie butter' anyone?! or maybe some 'herbed cheese fat bombs'?! 'pumpkin chocolate chip muffins?!'). This book has renewed my excitement for trying new healthy snacks and has kicked me out of an incredibly long rut where I was eating the same (healthy) things every day.

I received a free e-copy of Super Low-Carb Snacks: 100 Delicious Keto and Paleo Treats for Fat Burning and Great Nutrition by Martina Šlajerová from NetGalley for my honest review.

A wonderful recipe book with smart and healthy choice snacking. I was extremely impressed with this cookbook. It is refreshing to know there are good, healthy choices and wonderful recipes we can choose from for snacking versus all the bad and tempting options out there.

From homemade nut butters (coconut pecan butter, eggnog macadamia butter to berry nut butter) to homemade chocolates and many fun snack choices, such as: sun dried tomato chicken sliders, cauliflower pizza bites, cheesy kale chips, cauliflower hummus, cashew chicken dip, mini zucchini muffins, peanut butter cookies, creamy keto coffee, pumpkin pie smoothie and more.

The recipes are delicious, healthy and lots of fun to make.

Super Low-Carb Snacks Is such a fabulous book of low carb snacks that this reader and keto follower is flipping through, marking pages and looking forward to trying. I found it helpful right out of the gate with the introduction;, an easy to read section filled with helpful information on the benefits of low carb snacking. The authors do this in an easy to understand way that gave me some good insight into the "why's" of snacking. I'm not entirely new to this lifestyle and a nurse AND still learned from this section. I mostly loved that many of the recipes use the same ingredients so it isn't going to break the bank to make several of them. I'll be trying some of the fat bombs and the Favorite Cracker recipe today. Many thanks to Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds Press and Netgalley for the chance to read this temporary digital advanced copy for an honest review. I enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their low carb lifestyle.

This book is filled with brilliant ways to enjoy a snack without the guilt! I have made a few of them, but my goal is work my way through the book.

This beautifully photographed cookbook contains 100 Super Low-Carb Snacks.

By lowering the carbs, something has to go up. I was hoping it would be the protein but most of these self-described “fat bombs” are well over 50% fat. In addition, most of the recipes have high calorie counts due to this excessive fat. If you are keto and trying to keep below 50 net carbs, just two snacks may use that up leaving nothing for your meals.

However, there is good news. The food looks delicious in full color pictures. Almost every recipe has its own picture. All the recipes are gluten-free and indicate when they are also nut, dairy and/or egg-free. The nutritional information includes carbs, protein, and fat by weight and percentage. It also shows calories and fiber.

While there are many fat bombs of nut butters and cheese balls, there are also crackers, snack bars, and candy. But my favorite is Green Deviled Eggs & Bacon, which are kind of avocado toast for grain-free folks. 68% fat but at only 164 calories for two halves, it’s not too bad a hit especially with 10 grams of protein.

Overall, Super Low-Carb Snacks may, or may not, work for your diet—only you can decide. Regardless, the beautiful photographs, clear instructions, and comprehensive nutritional information makes this a 4 star cookbook.

Thanks to Fair Winds Press and NetGalley for a wished for copy in exchange for my honest review.

Did you know that 26% of our total energy intake comes from snacks? Sugar free chocolates, nut and seed butters can provide the foundation for healthy snacking in the form of peanut butter, smoothies, and the basis for other low carb recipes.
There is an entire chapter of this book developed to nut - free, dairy - free, and egg - free recipes for allergy sufferers.
You will find comfort recipes too - Savory Baked Chicken Nuggets made with chicken breasts, almond or cashew flour, grass-fed butter, garlic and cayenne pepper; Buffalo Chicken Wings made with arrowroot powder, chicken wings and gluten-free hot sauce, and also Homemade Beef Jerky that you can prepare in the oven!
There are desserts such as Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins made with coconut flour, pumpkin pie spice and dark chocolate chips, Supersmsrt Bars made with walnuts, cashews, coconut, vanilla and chocolate chips, and even Cinnamon Donut Holes!
You will discover Waldorf Salad Fat Bombs made with cream cheese, blue cheese, apples, pecans and walnuts, Squash Chips made with squash, salt and Parmesan cheese, and lastly Pork Belly Fat Bombs made of pork belly, bacon, mayo and Dijon Mustard!
Enjoy eating healthy snacks that are easy to prepare!

Super Low-Carb Snacks is a new niche cookbook and tutorial collection of recipes specifically for low-carb alternatives to sweet snacks. Due out 6th Aug 2019 from Quarto on their Fair Winds Press imprint, it's 192 pages and available in paperback format.

The mainstream popularity of low carb / paleo eating seems to be here to stay. Research supports the notion of a healthy fat balanced diet lower in processed carbohydrates as a sensible choice in a varied diet. Humans are also built 'grazers' and our eating habits over thousands of years support the idea of several small meals over the course of a day is better for digestion, energy levels, awareness, and cognition than 3 large meals. This book addresses part of that need for snacking (the authors suggest that about 25% of our caloric intake generally comes from snacks according to a study from 2010).

This book includes 100 keto/paleo recipes for snacks including fat bombs, nut butters and more.

The authors make a good case for snacking in the introductory chapter along with a short tutorial for making some of the ingredients required for the following chapters. The introduction and basic ingredients recipes cover roughly 18% of the page content. The following chapters are arranged around the reader's schedule: school & work, at home, on the go, sippable, and safe snacking. There's also a short author bio with some links and an alphabetical index with recipes and ingredients listed by name.

I am very much a visual learner and one of my concerns with several cookbooks I've reviewed recently has been the lack of photography and serving suggestions. I know that photography can increase the cost of a published book significantly but it enhances the end result so much that in my case at least, it's a necessary part of any cookbook which I buy and use. I have no idea if it's a publishing or editing decision, but Quarto has a fantastic track record with their photography for cooking and crafts (gardening, fibre arts, etc) books. This one is no exception. The photography is clear, illustrative, and appealing. Every recipe (including the ones in the 'ingredients' chapters) is photographed in color. Really exceptional quality on the photography and graphics.

Each of the included recipes includes the descriptive name (Spiced Maple and Pecan Butter), a small circular graphic listing of special allergens or concerns (dairy free, egg free, or nut free), an ingredients list given in both American and standard measurements, yields, step by step instructions and nutritional information in a sidebar below the instructions.

This is a really well made recipe book with a bunch of appealing recipes. This would make a good gift for any foodie friends who are interesting in low carb snack foods. I intend to take some of these snacks to my next work function for my colleagues who are diabetic or are following low-carb diets for other reasons.

Five stars.

What a great place to find healthy snacks that are easy to make.

The photos will make your mouth water.

The recipes appear to be uncomplicated and contain only reasonable amounts of items. Several recipes for different butters are presented. After making a butter, recipes using it are contained here.


I received an ARC from Quarto Publishing Group through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This in no way affects my opinion or rating of this book.

After starting a low carb diet I have tried to find snack ideas that appeal and when this book came up for review I was keen to have a look and had high hopes of my saviour in this book.
Unfortunately the style isn’t for me, the recipes don’t appeal and I found it quite American, I’d rather have UK measurements! The recipes themselves aren’t difficult to follow but I find if I’m going to make something from scratch I need it to inspire and excite my taste buds.

I have to say that I am rather disappointed with this book. While the title says “low-carb” several recipes are, to me, extremely high-carb. For example, the pumpkin chocolate chip muffins is 18.2 net carbs per muffin. That alone would just about blow my 20 carbs per day limit. I don't understand why the authors would include coconut palm sugar and maple syrup when these ingredients could hardly be used safely for someone who needs to keep carbs low in their diet. What's more - there are safer alternatives such as stevia, erythritol and monk fruit.

There are some other recipes (mostly the savoury ones) that are very attractive. But those high-carb recipes just didn't make the cut for me.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC. This is my honest review. I'm sorry I couldn't give a more positive one.

Fair Winds Press and NetGalley provided me with an electronic copy of Super Low-Carb Snacks: 100 Keto and Paleo Treats for Fat Burning and Great Nutrition. I was under no obligation to review this cookbook and my opinion is freely given.

I found this cookbook to be a contradiction of sorts. The introduction starts with the importance of healthy snacking, yet there are many variations of snacks that the author calls "fat bombs." These snacks are high in fat, but low in protein and carbohydrates, and are too heavily laden to be considered healthy in my book. I do like how the author takes the time to give a designation of dairy-free, nut-free, or egg-free with a symbol at the top of each recipe, making it easier for readers who have those dietary restrictions. I have long held to the principle that snacking is good for you, as it keeps the blood sugar levels stable, so I was excited to try the recipes in this book. Picking and choosing carefully, I was able to find a few well balanced snacks to enjoy.

Right off the bat, the homemade nut butters and sugar free chocolates are first among the recipes that I will make. The nut butters are very expensive in the stores, so I would prefer to make my own in smaller quantities. I especially like the Almond and Cashew Butter (p. 11) and the Chocolate Hazelnut Butter (pp. 14-15). There is also a recipe for Homemade Dark Chocolate Three Ways (pp. 32-33), delectable and also sugar free.

The section on School and Work Snacks has great options for kids, such as Savory Baked Chicken Nuggets (pp. 38-39), coated with an almond meal/sesame seed mixture and spiced at a reasonable level for children's palates. Bacon & Egg Maple Muffins (pp. 58-59) are a great alternative for a quick breakfast.

At-Home Snacks includes many healthy and delicious offerings that may even get non-veggie eaters to ask for a second helping. My favorites in this section are Kale Salad (pp. 68-69), healthy and nutritious, and Zesty Walnut Brussels Sprouts (pp. 72-73).

On-The-Go Snacks vary from the family favorite sweets snacks like Crispy Maple Granola (pp. 96-97), with its mixture of nuts, coconut, and maple syrup glaze, to Chocolate Chip Muffins (pp. 102-103), moist and delicious. There are also savory offerings, such as Rosemary-Cheese Crackers (p. 108) and Spiced Walnuts (p. 112).

Many of the recipes in the section designated as Sippable Snacks are high in calories and fat, with some of the finished dishes boasting fat content in the 90% range. Although many of the smoothies look delicious, I would decline to try any of them because of the aforementioned unhealthy levels.

The Safe Snacking section is nut-free, but I wish there were more options for those who need to eat both dairy-free and egg-free. The recipes have either one or the other, with the exception of a few seed and veggie options, as well as a sweet treat or two. There are a couple of standouts in this section, though, such as Chocolate-Avocado Truffles (pp. 170-171), looking especially delicious and delectable, as well as Pumpkin-Snickerdoodle Truffles (pp. 182-183), sugar free little bites that are reminiscent of pumpkin pie.

Overall, there are a few recipes in Super Low-Carb Snacks that I can fully get behind, but there are not enough recipes that I would make that would warrant buying the physical copy of this cookbook. Readers who are not scared off by high fat snacks may find this cookbook more to their liking.

Absolutely fantastic the recipes look so easy can’t wait to get in the kitchen to make some of these .
Worth a read

So many really good recipes. From sweet to savoury, there is something for everyone and every taste. Snacks to take to school or work, snacks you might want to eat at home.

My personal favourites were the cauliflower hummus and the Hempseed Squares. Both easy to follow recipes and tasty results.
