Just because tortillas are thin does NOT mean that they are low in carbs! In fact, tortillas are densely packed with carbs. Mayan Farms tortillas with high fiber have large amounts of fiber, bringing the total carbs down while still tasting like a normal tortilla. They are perfect for Mexican-inspired dinners!

2. Halo Top Ice Cream

Have a sweet tooth? Halo Top Ice Cream is a great dessert substitution to fill your craving! For each 1/2 cup serving, Halo Top Ice cream has about half the calories and carbs of ice cream brands like Edy's. Even better, Halo Top's flavors are equally as delicious as the ice cream brands you are used to. We preferred Halo Top to other healthier ice cream brands like Arctic Zero's water-based "ice creams".

Traditional croutons add unnecessary carbs to your healthy salad. If you are craving some crunch in your salad, try adding baked chickpeas in the place of croutons. Chickpeas add fewer carbs but more protein to your salad. Make your own baked chickpeas (click here for recipe) or try Biena chickpeas.
