Snacks
No matter which diet you follow, having healthy snacks available between meals can help prevent binges and stabilize blood sugar. Keto snacks should contain more fats and proteins with few carbs than traditional snacks.
As is often the case with diets that promote health and weight loss, there are plenty of tasty snacks that fit perfectly with the keto diet. When selecting snacks to add into your keto diet regimen, aim for options that are crunchy, filling, and made from ingredients you recognize. Be wary of any products with hidden sugars–read ingredient lists carefully for words like dextrose, fructose, glucose, galactose fruit juice concentrate syrup or molasses as these could contain hidden sweeteners that you might otherwise miss.
Make life simpler when searching for keto snacks by shopping at your grocery store! Look for low-carb snack ideas such as seasoned seaweed “chips” made with just seaweed sheets, sesame oil and salt; whole-fat string cheese; individual-packaged pickles (but make sure that there are no added sugars); nut butter pouches or chocolate bars made with only natural sweeteners.
When indulging your creative side, try your hand at homemade granola using nuts and seeds with low-carb alternatives such as almond flour or coconut palm sugar.
