The perfect advent calendar for a low carb’er

I found the nutritional info for all the flavours on myfitnesspal and the highest onevis the maple flavour at 2g carb per 100g - as the bags are only 7g each in the advent calendar it's almost negligible- they do use msg in some of their products if anyone is adverse to that. I think this would be a nice treat as long as you don't open the windows all at once hehe

Be careful, I've just Googled them to find out more and noticed that many of the flavours have Dextrose or Sugar listed as ingredients. I can't find a carb count anywhere either :sorry:

The full nutritional info is on the reverse of the box - it’s only around a gram of carbs per day, I think I can cope with that - this includes the ones flavoured.

It’s one scratching a day I think :rolleyes:
 
Thanks for posting that @PenfoldAPD .

I think I'll ask my OH (non-diabetic, but does eat LC along with me,...... mainly) which he would prefer. I'm not sure this will win for him, but it almost certainly will for me, if it is also GF. Irritatingly, lots of spice coatings aren't.
 
I had an email from John Lewis to say that the pork crackling advent calendars are back in stock. I also noticed while browsing in store a few days ago, that they are selling very large presentation jars of the same pork crackling in the same flavours. Can’t find the latter on their website though.
 
When reading online about the ASDA Cheese Advent Calendar, the article also mentions Aldi are planing a wine version.

Our very own 24 day cheese and wine party.
