In this day and age, there are countless diets and plans that can help you meet your goals. What works for one person, may not work for another. So, if you’re one of the individuals that likes to follow a keto diet—whether by doctor recommendation or your own research—chances are you’re scouring recipes to fulfill that diet.
While these types of diets are meant to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle, it’s also important to understand that not all keto-friendly foods are healthy. For instance, even though a processed snack may meet the keto requirements, it may not be the healthiest option. To help you on your wellness journey, we’ve put together a list of healthy, keto-friendly snack ideas that you can feel good about eating. Enjoy!
Eggs
Eggs are a quick and easy snack that will keep you full and satisfied for hours. Plus, they’re incredibly healthy. Try them hard-boiled drizzled with hot sauce or make deviled eggs with avocado mayo.
Beef Jerky
Getting adequate protein coupled with healthy fats is key to a healthy keto diet. That’s where beef jerky comes in. You can easily find this tasty treat at your local store, but be aware of the sodium content. Some of the best beef jerky we’ve tried has been found at local farmer’s markets.
Nuts
This tasty snack is quick and perfect for when you’re on-the-go. While there are many varieties of nuts, almonds are great as they are incredibly low in carbs, so they’re a perfect snack if you’re on a keto diet.
Kale Chips
If you’re looking for a healthy veggie to fit into your keto diet, kale chips are an easy and tasty snack to implement in your day. Use your favorite seasoning and bake them in the oven (or airfry the kale if you’re short on time), and you have crispy, delicious chips.
Prosciutto and Mozzarella Sticks
Mozzarella cheese is a great snack if you’re trying to stay on track with your diet. For an extra dose of protein, wrap the mozzarella with prosciutto. This is a quick and tasty snack that will become a favorite.
Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese is back, and it looks like it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. This is such a versatile snack that is incredibly high in protein and can be topped with fruit, honey, or just about anything you can imagine.
Greek Yogurt with Berries and Nuts
If you’re not crazy about the texture of cottage cheese (trust us, we get it), try plain greek yogurt as a delicious snack. You can make your own parfait with berries and nuts, or if you’re on the go, try the individual cups and top with honey and pistachios.
Zucchini Fries
Veggie fries are a great alternative to traditional potato fries, especially if you’re using zucchini. Slice up the zucchini in strips, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and a little parmesan, and air fry until crispy.
Parmesan Crisps
While parmesan crips can be easily purchased at the store, they’re incredibly easy to make. Grate fresh parmesan cheese, and bake in the oven until crispy. You can even sprinkle a little garlic powder for some extra zing.
