With these recipes it’s easy to grab a small bite between meals while sticking to the plan. There are lots of options for both sweet and savory cravings but these pizza snacks are one of our favorites.

Keto Broccoli Cheese Bites

These keto-friendly bites are filled with vegetables and protein thanks to an abundance of broccoli and almond flour, but they are straight-up indulgent when served with ranch dipping sauce that is also keto-friendly. We keep the cayenne optional here but be sure to include it if you want the bites to have a little kick.

Breadless Cucumber Tuna Salad Sandwiches

These high-protein "sandwiches" are best assembled and served right away. We use English cucumbers because the skin is thinner than the hothouse variety and doesn't need to be peeled. Be sure to serve each sandwich wrapped in wax paper to keep all the juices contained — then bite with confidence!
