While I don’t personally follow the ketogenic diet, I am a huge advocate for snacking on keto-friendly foods.
It’s no secret that my sweet tooth in rampant 24/7. Not a day goes by where I don’t crave something sweet, and more often than not, twice a day. However, before I started intentionally snacking on keto-friendly treats, I would end up mindlessly snacking and snacking.
I’d heard of the keto diet, but I’d always assumed that it was protein heavy, dairy-heavy and void of any sweets.
Oh, how wrong I was.
Looking through my recipe archives, I found that many of my forgotten snacks and desserts happened to be ketogenic friendly. In fact, my favorite brownies and 2 minute English muffin fit the bill.
Over time, I found that the easiest and healthiest way to satisfy my sweet tooth was with keto desserts, especially ones which required no baking and were basically a zero carb dessert. I personally found the combination of healthy fats with some protein to really keep my fuelled in between meals. It also stopped the cravings completely!

This is such a wonderful and delicious collection! Don’t know where to begin 🙂
Every recipe looks amazing!
Arman, I just made your Paleo/Keto chocolate coconut crunch bars with White chocolate, almonds, pepitas, coconut, and chia seeds, and it turned out awesome!! I’ve been making these every few days for my family, and they love them! I try different variations in the recipe. For example, I made them with pistachios last time in place of the sliced almonds, and they were awesome, too! You’re a genius! Thanks so much for such a great recipe!

I have a blog, and I recommended your blog and recipes to my readers. It’s StrivingThroughAdversity.com where I discuss the trials and tribulations of being a full time caregiver to my quadriplegic brother, while I am also disabled myself, and how I draw my strength from God to continue on.
Well, have a blessed day!

Honey in the lovely bounty bars wouldn’t be vegan. Just sayin’…
