I get asked all the time: What do I snack on? Well, the truth is, I don’t really snack. I used to snack A LOT, in my pre-keto life. But I don’t really snack anymore. My body just doesn’t feel the need to eat every hour (or 2) because my insulin levels are controlled and my meals are very filling. However, many people need to snack when they begin their keto journey or when they go through periods of feasting. And honestly, every so often, I snack as well. So I’ve put together a list of simple and easy keto snacks:
- Nuts (pecans are my FAVOURITE). Check out the Pecan Popcorn Recipe I posted in the Ketofied Kitchen section of the blog. Almonds can be made the same way. Or eat raw too!
- Cheese – any full fat cheese
- Celery and cream cheese
- Almond Butter (or other nut butter)
- Cheese chips with guacamole and/or salsa and/or sour cream
- Hard boiled eggs
- Cold cuts/salami and cream cheese roll ups
- Beef jerky
- Bacon
- Fat bombs
- Kale chips/Brussel Sprout chips/zucchini chips
- bulletproof coffee
- Berries
- Pork Rinds
- Seeds
- Pickles
- Seaweed
- Full fat cottage cheese
- Tuna salad
- Egg salad
- Chicken Salad
- Lettuce BLT (Mayo, bacon, tomato wrapped in a large lettuce leaf)
- Deviled Eggs
- Cream Cheese Pancakes
- Full fat yogurt
- Low Carb Smoothies (My fav ingredients: Almond milk, avocado, keto-sweetener, cocoa, almond butter, kale or spinach, matcha powder, strawberries, etc)
- Melted brie with nuts for dipping
- Cauliflower and Broccoli with melted cheese
- Keto-approved Veggies dipped in Caesar/ranch/blue cheese dressing/cream cheese/salsa/guacamole
- Smoked salmon and goat cheese/cream cheese
- Pecan and cream cheese with cinnamon
- Olives, feta and tomato
- Grilled mushrooms, tomato sauce and mozzarella (or grilled mushrooms and any cheese will taste amazing)
- Fat head dough crackers
- Keto/Low carb bagels
Enjoy and keto on,
Evie
