What snacks can I eat on keto?
With the popularity of the keto diet, it’s easier than ever to load up on keto snacks. But don’t be fooled, as many foods that are labeled keto-friendly aren’t healthy options. And some aren’t truly low carb at all.
It pays to be a label reader and to take a critical look at the ingredient list. And if it seems too good to be true, it probably is!
When in doubt, reach for the real, whole food options like cheese, nuts, or hard-boiled eggs. But be wary of things like jerky and pepperoni sticks, as many contain added sugars.
And to help you even more, I’ve compiled this list of great keto snack options so you never have to go hungry. It includes both items you need to make yourself as well as pre-made items you can purchase.
With a little advanced planning, you will find that it’s easy to stick to your healthy diet.
And don’t miss my great recipe for Keto Pretzel Bites below! It’s one of my family’s favorites.

Keto Snacks to Buy

Pork rinds: Not all pork rinds are created equal, of course, and some are pretty junky. My favorite brand is Pork King Good.
Keto Crackers: Several brands have snack crackers out now but the best I’ve tried is Real Phat Foods. Thin, crisp, and spectacular flavor!
Meat Sticks: Again, not all are created equal and some even contain sugar so read your labels! I love the Grassfed Beef Sticks from Paleo Valley.
Keto Cookies: Previously, I would have said that no pre-packaged keto cookies were any good. But now there are several great brands. My top picks are the mini cookies from HighKey Snacks or Super Fat.
Keto Protein Bars: I have finally found a keto protein bar with good macros, good ingredients, and great flavor! Check out the Think Keto Bars, but make sure you are getting the keto version, as they have a conventional line of bars as well.
Keto Chocolate: More and more companies are getting into the keto candy bar game. My top picks are ChocZero and Lily’s. They both carry great flavors of bars and peanut butter cups. If you choose ChocZero, use FOODDREAMER at check out for 10% off your order.
Keto Cereal: Who doesn’t love snacking on a handful of cereal? My favorite is the new cereals from Perfect Keto, as they are truly crunchy, have clean ingredients, and great flavor. There are some good keto granolas too, like Keto & Co.
Cheese Crisps: We love the ones from Whisps.
Keto Krate: Keto subscription boxes are a great option if you’re looking to explore new and interesting keto snacks. Keto Krate is my favorite and I’ve been getting it for years!
Snacks from the grocery store
Cheese sticks – What’s your fancy? Cheddar? Mozzarella? They’ve got cheese sticks and individual servings of all kinds.
Salami –Buy a big stick or some of the little individual cuts.
Hard boiled eggs – Many stores carry them already to go for you!
Seaweed snacks – They aren’t very filling but they are great when the munchies hit.
Avocado – Just cut it in half and eat it with a spoon! Or buy some pre-made guacamole.
Nuts – Walnuts, pecans, almonds, oh my! And macadamia nuts are like little fat bombs unto themselves.
Nut butters – All you need is a spoon!
Celery sticks or cucumber slices – Grab yourself a bottle of ranch dressing for dipping. Or simply spread with some cream cheese.
Pumpkin seeds– Lots of fun, unique flavors out there from a number of brands.
Smoked salmon – I can eat this straight up, just popping pieces into my mouth. But it’s also great with a little cream cheese and a few capers.
Tuna pouches– There are some good flavors out there, just be sure to read the label for added carbs.
Pickles and Olives– I like them spicy! Other pickled veggies, like green beans and cauliflower, are great too.

Prep Time: 20 minutes minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes minutes
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 202kcal
Ingredients
- ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon coconut flour divided
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
- 6 ounces shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- Coarse sea salt
- Sugar-free Honey Mustard for dipping
US Customary – Metric
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of the coconut flour, the baking powder, garlic powder, and xanthan gum.
Place the cheese in a large microwave-safe bowl and cook on high in 30- second increments until well melted so that the cheese can easily be stirred together.
Add the flour mixture, then add the egg. Using a silicone spatula, work the flour and egg into the cheese, kneading the dough up against the side of the bowl.
Dust a work surface with the remaining tablespoon of coconut flour. Turn the dough out onto the work surface and knead with your hands until cohesive. If the dough is still very sticky, dust lightly with more coconut flour until it no longer sticks to your hands.
Divide the dough into 4 even portions and roll each portion out into an 8- inch log. Cut each log into 8 pieces.
To Air Fry
Brush the air fryer rack lightly with oil. Place the pretzel bites on the rack, not touching, and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with coarse salt and press lightly to help it adhere to the dough.
Air fry at 350ºF for 5 to 6 minutes, until they are puffed and golden brown.
To Bake
Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Lightly grease a baking rack and set over a rimmed baking sheet. Place the pretzel bites on the rack, not touching, and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with coarse salt and press lightly to help it adhere to the dough.
Bake 10 to 15 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
Notes
If at any point your dough becomes hard to work with, pop it back into the microwave for 5 to 10 seconds and it should become malleable again.
