Here are two recipe ideas, neither my own, but you can see the original post in the links below
I think Suzanne's picture says it all. Just use some fresh cut celery stems and spread on your favourite cream cheese. Caution, if you do count your daily carbs (I usually eat no more than 50 grams each day) then study the label on each pack of cheese. For instance plain cream cheese has a trace of carbs per 100g, but if you use something like ‘Boursin with fine herbs’ it’s 2.0 per 100 g. But what a great low carb snack.
Celery Quick Braised with Onion and Carrot
This is a delicious Delia recipe and goes great with a main meal such as pork, or beef - whatever you prefer. I know some use it as a supper type dish, they just adjust the quantities accordingly.
This recipe has slightly more carbs per 100gram content, but nothing too bad. However, if you are a diabetic, check out your blood sugar readings on your meter.

Hope you enjoy these ideas.

Braised celery is a favourite, I prefer it this way to eating it cold.

After a while of raw celery eating, I got into cucumber as a reasonable substitute e.g. for accompanying a hunk of cheese.
I eat about a third of a medium cucumber which is approximately 3 carbs (half that without the peel.)
I save celery for when I feel like a workout for my jaws : )

Hi Geoff - Yes, celery is a little more work for the jaw and teeth , but I just love the crunch!
My grandchildren love eating cucumber. Their mother gives it to them as a snack instead of sweets. The 'little one' is often seen in their local supermarket chewing on a slice of cucumber - the other shoppers can't help smiling and commenting.
