Becoming a parent has presented me with many new opportunities in life. Before kids, we would do couple things such as go for a nice walk after a nice meal together or watch TV uninterrupted.
But now with kids, all those things went out the window and we instead do things that we probably wouldn’t have done before…like driving 2 hours to go apple picking.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I love exploring nature and doing activates such as this, but 2 hours is a very long drive.
Buuuut…when the request comes from your kids, all logic goes out the window and you comply without hesitation!
So we ended up going to Riley’s Farm (a fantastic place by the way) and came home with more apples then we knew what to do with. So as I do often, I opened our fridge and started pulling out ingredients and created this dish we just named Cheese Apple Bites!
If you’re aiming to be < 20 carbs keto, this probably isn’t the ideal snack. But instead, you could check out our quick n easy section to see other low-carb/keto friendly recipes that might better fit your regiment.
Each piece is ~1g net carb, but they’re bite sizes so the carbs can add up on your in hurry! On the flip side though, they taste delicious and are super simple to make!
You’ll need some Kewpie Mayo and Swerve/Monkfruit for this one. You can sub it out the Kewpie Mayo with some American mayo as well.
On a closing note, if you’re a fan of sparkling wine (champagne), which by the way only has ~1.6g of carbs per serving, this snack would pair well together!
Now, let’s get started!
