Bread Sticks - Can Be Low Carb !

Did you know that 'regular breadsticks, at 100 grams per serving, amount to 68g total carbs.' If husband Eddie, who is a Type 2 Diabetic ate those his blood sugars would be way too high … so if you are diabetic or like me prefer to eat low carb what do you do?

Easy! There are many low carb bread stick type recipes available and Libby at Ditch The Carbs site has a lovely version. Yes, a keto bread stick for you to enjoy! She says 'If you’ve missed bread sticks for a while then you’re in luck. These gluten-free bread sticks are wonderfully keto and really easy to make! Keep reading to find out why they are less than 1g net carbs per stick!'


Ingredients
Makes 20
170 g pre-shredded/grated mozzarella cheese
85 g almond meal/flour *Coconut flour may be used if preferred see recipe notes below
2 tbsp. cream cheese full fat
pinch salt
1 egg medium
Optional Flavours
1 tbsp. garlic crushed
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tbsp. parsley fresh or dried
Recipe Notes
Mozzarella dough can also be made by replacing the almond meal/flour with 1/4 cup (4 tbsp.) coconut flour.
Please see recipe instructions/more details here

These would be a great companion to many meals. Low carb is always a bonus. Pizza aside, we stay away from bread at home. Maybe we should reconsider with something like this to feel more indulgent!

that sounds interesting, I need to buy more almond flour though

Huh. I'm trying to imagine the flavor for this and coming up a bit short. I guess...like, fried cheese and nuts? Might have to try this when I'm bored.

Debbie said...

this might just work with some of those herbs...

bread is one of the reasons i could never be low carb!!

We have been making sourdough breadsticks.. they are so good.

Looking at the ingredients they sound delicious!! I use to love "Olive Garden"..don't know if you have them there....but their breadsticks and alfredo dipping sauce - oh ...I couldn't leave it alone. Sometimes I would stop in to order some to go. I never do that now because they don't have places like that in the mountains - no chain restaurants basically.

Hope u and Eddie have a great week.

Hello Sandy
Many thanks for your comment and good wishes.

I do not think there are currently any Olive Garden branches in the UK.
I believe the franchise is very popular in the USA and just recently there has been an article about Olive Garden having some low-carb options on their menu that are simply delicious!

It's amazing how many things can be made into other things, like cheese in to bread. Not too shabby.
