As you can imagine, grabbing another handful of nuts, seeds, or olives gets a little stale after a while. No grains, beans, rices, or sugars means it takes some planning to be able to grab a snack. With more and more people cutting those carb-laden calories out of their diets, snack makers are rising to the challenge to satisfy our cravings with some tasty Keto offerings. These are some of our favorites. Also, we want you to be healthy. Before making any big dietary changes, always talk to a medical professional.
Dairy-based protein
Grab that fresh guacamole and the pico de gallo. These chili lime chips are part of a healthy Keto-friendly snack. No soy and no gluten means everyone can enjoy these crunchy, delectable protein chips. We usually don’t think of chips as providing complete dairy-based protein. But each one of these dozen bags has 20g of protein. That’s almost as much as a can of tuna. How do they do that? These tortilla-style chips will satisfy your salty, crispy cravings.
A simple splurge
These caramel chocolate bars only taste like you’re cheating. Only one gram of sugar in a whole bar. By combining proteins, nuts, oils, fiber, and cocoa, the gluten- and dairy-free bars are indulgent. A complete protein source, these scrumptious bars give you nine essential amino acids. We love dessert.
An eight-pack of yum
Keeping added sugars from your diet is tough. It’s lurking everywhere, in insidious little places like the ketchup (25 percent added sugar) and the canned soup. These snacks from Fat Snax have no added sugar. For high-fat snackers, crackers are usually forbidden. Melted cheesy crisps and nuts are the most common substitutes for carb-filled crackers.
Satisfy your inner Cookie Monster
When you’re really hungry, you may want to grab that apple (25 grams of carbs) or just a few of those real cookies. We’ve got you covered, and your fingers chocolate covered. Why use a cheat day when you don’t need to? Check out these amazing mini chocolate chip cookies created with natural ingredients. They don’t have gluten, fillers, preservatives, or grains. They do have almond flour, coconut oil, and collagen – the most prevalent protein in your body. We love that with the low carb and low sugar levels, diabetics can munch on these cookies too.
Guilt-free option
We know it’s inconceivable, but there are Keto-friendly toaster pastries. And they have frosting! These yummy strawberry-flavored breakfast treats somehow have less than one gram of sugar and only four carbs. Some of us have a sweet tooth, and these make a great little midnight snack. We also know that making a Keto breakfast can sometimes take some time and effort. Not anymore. These are 100 percent guilt-free snacks.
