Trying to eat healthier, (edit for me this means lower sugar, less carbs, more protein) and it seems like everything that is sweet, sweet-ish, or a snack but also sold as healthy has peanuts or is peanuts. I'm not allergic to it, but I am tired of peanut butter cookies, peanuts in a snack bar, peanuts on their own, peanuts in a snack mix.

Not exactly the same, but as a type 1 diabetic with a nut allergy, I feel you with how annoying it is that all the good low carb snacks seem to be packed with peanuts, cashews, and/or almonds.

Fortunately for me, I like dark chocolate or I'd be completely SOL.

See, I don't care for dark chocolate.

And yes, lower carbs is what I'm going for. Not fully low carb, but I find that I do better through the day when my snacks are high protein and my meals are balanced.
