One of the questions asked most often is for suggestions for Keto Carb snack ideas. Granted, the longer you follow a ketogenic lifestyle, the less you’ll want to snack, but in the beginning, you may find that you need snacks to stay on track if eating a meal at that moment isn’t feasable. Also, if you are traveling, attending sporting events, or just unable to grab a meal low carb snack ideas can make life much easier.
Keto & Low Snack Ideas
The last thing you want is to be derailed by hunger after making great meal choices all day. Since likes and dislikes can vary so much from person to person, I polled my Easy Keto/Low Carb Recipes Facebook Page for their favorite Keto and Low Carb snacks in order to provide a variety of suggestions. Also, I am kind of picky and tend to stick to deli ham, nuts, cheese crisps, and pickles so I wanted ideas from others that might not be as habitual.
I’m looking forward to having this Keto Snack Ideas list handy for inspiration when I’m looking for new low carb snack ideas. Some of the ideas may be similar but with different food combinations to change them up just a bit.
You can access all of my Keto/Low Carb Recipes in my Keto/Low Carb Recipe Index or follow me on Pinterest for fabulous Keto/Low Carb Recipe Ideas. If you are just getting started following a keto diet and would like more information, there are tons of fantastic resources. Amazon has several great books you may want to check out here.

FYI, Moon Cheese smells like arse. Truly gross when you open the bag. Total turn off.

Maybe one of the nastiest things I’ve ever tried at Costco. I asked the sales lady if she had tried them and she told me “hell no, they smell” 🙂
Sherry says
Pickles and peanut butter! I grew up eating pb & dill sandwiches. I never thought to simply just eat them together. No matter how much we’ve learned and figure out it always pays to peruse these lists! Thanks!
Kasey says
I did too! They were so good! I’m glad the list was helpful.
