Keto Lettuce Wrap Snack – A Low-Carb Hunger Fix
When you start the Keto Diet, it’s normal to feel hungry faster than before. That’s because your body is used to filling up on carb-heavy foods like rice, bread, and pasta. The trick is to always have a low-carb snack on hand that can keep you satisfied without breaking ketosis.
One of the easiest and healthiest options? Lettuce wraps. With just around 2.9 grams of carbs per 100g of green leaf lettuce, this snack is not only keto-friendly but also rich in fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin K.
Ingredients
100g green leaf lettuce (washed and dried)
2–3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon ketchup (optional, for flavor balance)
A pinch of muscovado sugar (to reduce mayo’s sourness)

Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves.
Mix mayonnaise with a small amount of ketchup and a pinch of muscovado sugar.
