From Pork Puffs to Biltong: The Tastiest Low-Carb Snacks to Keep You Fuelled
Low-carb snacks have long had a bad rap — and, you have to say, not all that unfairly. Too often they’re dry, dusty, and about as exciting as a stale rice cake.
From chalky protein bars to dense, jaw-aching nut mixes, the category hasn’t exactly set taste buds alight.
But The Curators are on a mission to change the game by bringing bold, savoury flavours back to the world of low-carb snacking.
Whether you’re Keto, cutting carbs, or just after a tasty protein hit without the heavy baggage, we’ve picked three snacks that prove low-carb doesn’t have to mean low on enjoyment.
Pork Puffs: Crunch With a Protein Punch
The Curators Pork Puffs dial the crunch up to 11 while keeping carbs firmly in check. Scrub your mind of gristly pub pork scratchings and broken tooth regret — these bites are lightyears clear of their rock-hard cousins.
Made from premium pork rind, hot flashed until crisp and golden, Pork Puffs deliver the same taste and satisfaction as a crisp, without all the negative bits.
Available in four flavours — Original Salted, Smoky Bacon, Sea Salt & Cider Vinegar, and Tajìn — they range from the classic to the inventive, bringing nostalgic lunchbox energy to your gym rotation.
Each 25g packet delivers an impressive natural protein hit spanning from 17-19g, with Tajìn the heaviest on carbs at just a single gram.
As low-carb snacks go, you’ll struggle to find better than that.

Say Cheesies
The Curators are all about achieving big flavour with minimal ingredients, and nothing encapsulates that message more than Cheesies.
These delightful morsels are 100% cheese, diced into small cubes and baked into crunchy nibbles. That’s literally it.
Cheesies brought some cheesy grins to the faces of punters at Edinburgh Fringe Festival this year as the official snack, and it wasn’t just because the air was thick with puns.
Packing up to 8g of protein and not a carb in sight, they’re the pinnacle of joyous, nutritious, low-carb snacks.
Available in Cheddar, Gouda, Goat’s Cheese, and Red Leicester varieties, Cheesies are the ideal solution for lunch al desko, post-workout cupboard raids, mid-afternoon slumps, and just about any situation that requires a jolt of protein.

- Fat: 9-11g
- Carbs: 0g

Biltong: A Tried-and-Tested OG
Lovers of low-carb snacks will be well acquainted with biltong. The South African-inspired strips are an on-the-go staple, though one that often ends in chewy sorrow.
The Curators recently refreshed their Great Taste Award-winning recipe to make their offering more tender than ever before, while banning nitrate from the party.
Crafted from premium cuts of British and Irish grass-fed beef, cured in a tongue-tingling blend of herbs and spices, gently air dried, and sliced to perfection, The Curators Biltong is a savoury snack brimming with natural protein and nutrients.
Every 25g bag packs 13g of the good stuff and, once again, next to no carbs. If building lean muscle is on your agenda, then these strips should be in your cupboard.
Macros Per 25g Portion:
- Fat: 1g
- Carbs: 0.53g
