19. Dannon's Light + Fit and Oikos' Triple Zero are both solid options

Dannon's Light + Fit is cheaper and has more flavor options. Before switching from multiple daily injections to an insulin pump, they were among my go-to snacks because I could eat two containers without taking insulin (8 grams of carbohydrates each).

I switched to Oikos Triple Zero because it has a higher protein content and I just need vanilla to serve as the base for a pre-gym meal. My mix ins aren't terrible on carbs, but they definitely aren't keto either.

As an aside, fruit and cheese also makes a good snack. About a cup of fresh fruit and one or two pieces of string cheese was another one of my go-to snacks. String cheese has marginal carbohydrates and a many fruits won't break the 15 gram recommendation if kept to a cup or less. Strawberries and grapes are two options.
