My favorite homemade keto snack recipes

There is a misconception that a keto diet lacks quality and is easy to make and find snacks, but this is NOT the truth. Sure, traditional snacks we’re used to are high in carbs and not keto-friendly.
However, there are plenty of snack ideas for a low-carb diet, including staples such as chips, bars, and energy balls.
- I’ve broken these down into sweet snacks, salty snacks, smoothies and shakes, and protein snacks.
- I’ve also included a list of store-bought options, too, so you are never stuck!
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 great 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 versions often use oats and/or grains to hold their shape. These use a mix of nut butter, seeds, and coconut oil to bind. They taste pretty darn delicious, too!
- Fat bombs. One of my most popular keto snacks, fat bombs are quite magical. As the name suggests, the higher fat content of them keeps 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 carbs and high in protein. They require minimal preparation and make a great 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 welcome!
- Keto cups. Keto cups were popular for a few years at health food stores. Now, you can make them yourself with just a few ingredients. I tested this repeatedly to ensure it tasted like the original.
- Keto trail mix. Everyone loves a good trail mix, and my 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, and almond flour, bound together with sugar-free syrup. My family loves these between meals.

Keto Salty Snacks
- Keto crackers. Made with just 2 ingredients, these keto crackers are often referred to as keto Chee-Tos 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! Bake until golden brown. I love how it works with almost any grated cheese.
- Zucchini chips. Zucchini is low in carbs and high in fiber, and works well to make ‘chips’. Thinly sliced, seasoned, and 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 more flavorful, but they are also the perfect vehicle for dipping into 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 making a double batch at a time, as 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 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 my keto ones, which 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 into a smoothie that helps you stay 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 excellent. Each serving has just 3 grams of carbs.

Keto Snacks to buy
Although homemade snacks are preferred, if you are on the go and need something in a pinch, here are some fantastic options to buy.
- Nuts and seeds. Raw or salted nuts and seeds, including macadamia nuts, almonds, and walnuts.
- Peanut butter. No added sugar nut and seed butters, including almond butter and tahini. Dip celery in them for a delicious low-carb pairing.
- Cheese. Cubes of hard cheeses or sliced cheese. Avoid process cheese, as it contains added carbs.
- Deli meats. Preservative-free and low-sodium deli meat. Enjoy them with cream cheese, lettuce, or wrapped around pickles.
- Canned tuna. Choose tuna packed in olive oil or chili oil for extra satiety.
- Low-carb vegetables and dip. Celery and cucumber slices with full-fat cream cheese or keto fruit dip.
- Avocado. Packed with healthy fats and fiber. Mash an avocado with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
- Hard boiled eggs. Easily accessible from grocery stores, gas stations, and even corner stores.
