Keto Sweet Snacks

• Keto candied pecans. Nuts are always a fantastic option on a low carb diet and these take it to another level. For those who love the sweet and salty combination, candied pecans are a fantastic option. The ‘candy’ comes from a keto sweetener, so don’t fret!
• Keto energy balls. Although energy balls are a popular snack for any diet, traditional ones tend to use oats and/or grains to hold their shape. These ones are the opposite and use a mix of nut butter, seeds, and coconut oil to bind together. They taste pretty darn delicious too!
• Fat bombs. One of the most popular keto snacks, fat bombs are quite magical. As the name suggests, the higher fat content of them keep you full and energized so you won’t be reaching for something full of carbs!
• Keto protein bars. A popular snack in most diets, these are both low in carb and high in protein. They require very little preparation and make a fabulous on-the-go snack.
• Cookie dough protein bars. A cookie dough version of protein bars, these use a combination of nut butter, sugar free syrup, and protein powder to bind themselves together. The addition of sugar free chocolate chips is very welcomed!
• Keto cups. Keto cups were all the rage for a few years at health food stores. Now, you can make them yourself using just a handful of ingredients.
• Keto trail mix. Everyone loves a good trail mix and this keto version is especially good- It’s loaded with nuts, seeds, and keto candy pieces.
• Keto granola bars. While traditional granola bars are made with oats, keto granola bars use a mix of finely chopped nuts, seeds, almond flour, and bound together with sugar free syrup. Seriously, these taste just as good as the original!

Keto Salty Snacks

• Keto crackers. Made with just 2 ingredients, these keto crackers have often been referred to as keto cheeze-its because they taste so similar!
• Keto tortilla chips. One of the best keto snack recipes ever, these low carb chips are a game changer. If you love doritos or tortilla chips, these make a fantastic substitute. Dip them in some keto guacamole or keto salsa for the ultimate snack.
• Cheese chips. All you need is some freshly grated cheese and this snack is done for you! Baked until golden brown, you can use any kind of cheese you like.
• Zucchini chips. Zucchini are low in carbs and high in fiber, and work well to make ‘chips’. Thinly sliced, seasoned, then baked, they certainly satisfy any salty cravings you may have.
• Parmesan crisps. Similar to the cheese chips, this version uses parmesan specifically. Not only are they even more flavorful, but they are the perfect vehicle to dip in some keto hummus.
• Keto pasta chips. The viral pasta chips recipe can now be made keto friendly, thanks to the use of keto pasta! Easy to customize with whatever spices you have on hand.
• Keto popcorn. No, no corn is actually used. Instead, dehydrated cheese is ‘popped’ to result in a fabulous substitute. I recommend you make a double batch at a time because these will not last!
• Keto French fries. There are plenty of low carb vegetables that can replicate French fries, including Rutabagas and turnips. Both work in this French fry recipe and honestly, you’d be fooled into thinking they were potatoes!
• Warm nuts. Airplane style warm nuts that are so cozy and moreish.

Drinks and smoothies

• Keto smoothie. Strawberries are super low in carbs but add sweetness and fiber. Pair it with two more keto ingredients and it makes the most perfect thick and creamy smoothie that tastes like dessert, but has just 2 grams of carbs.
• Keto green smoothie. Get your greens in your snacks, with this creamy low carb green smoothie. While spinach is an ingredient in it, you won’t be able to taste it at all!
• Keto shakes. If you love a McDonald’s thickshake, you’ll love these keto ones, that come in vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry!
• Keto blueberry smoothie. Like strawberries, blueberries are also a low carb fruit. Packed with fiber, they can be blended up to make a smoothie that keeps you full between lunch and dinner.
• Keto peanut butter smoothie. Looking for a snack that tastes like dessert? This peanut butter smoothie ticks the boxes. It’s thick and creamy like soft serve ice cream and the peanut butter flavor is fabulous. Oh, and each serving has just 3 grams of carbs.
