Whether you are already a seasoned ketogenic dieter or a beginner in the game, one major thing you have likely struggled with is SNACKS.

We seem to have our lunch, breakfast, and dinners all figured out, but what about snacks. What about those special moments you are watching movie, or sitting at your desk, and your normal snacks have all been ditched because of your low-carb dieting lifestyle? Fortunately, keto snacks have proved to be one of the best keto-specific recipes you can ever get out there. Keto snacks will not only help you squash your cravings but will also be refueling you with healthy fat snacks that will help you stay on course until dinner.  Here are some of the best keto snacks we have tried, and we thus recommend you give them a try too.

#1: Nuts or Nut Butters and Seeds

Don’t forget that some nuts are a bit high in carbs too, including nuts like cashews, peanuts, and pistachios. So, when choosing nuts, go for the ones that are high in fats such as macadamia nuts, almonds, and seeds high in omega 3 like chia and flaxseed.

Also, stay away from any nut butter that has added polyunsaturated oils or “vegetable oils.”

#2: String Cheese

This is obviously very easy to do; you only need to keep a bunch in your refrigerator at work or at home and reach out for one when you are ready to snack. String cheese has a nice mix of fat and protein, which makes them great for keto as they will help fill you up and also make you stay full.

#3: Low-Carb Keto Tuna Pickle Boats

When hunger comes knocking, you need a good snack to calm things down, and you need it fast. This recipe is low in calorie, low in carb, and high in fat, which makes it perfect when you are looking to snack on something without harming your keto lifestyle.

Don’t get scared of the combination; it’s actually a pretty amazing combo of food. The tanginess of the dill pickle perfectly compliments the tuna salad filling. You will love it!

#4: Canned Sardines

I know you might be feeling hesitant about this. I was also. But eventually, they aren’t the large, irritating fish heads you may have pictured in your mind.

These ones are without heads and are packed in oil. They can easily be forked and eaten for a perfect keto snack. You might be wondering what they taste like. They actually have a taste similar to mild tuna. They do come in flavors like tomato sauces and jalapeno for some added delight. You need to try this out.

#5: Low Carb Onion Rings

This is made with onion, eggs, coconut flour, pork rinds, whipping cream, and parmesan cheese. The onions are the baked keto-version of onion rings you will doubt ever existed. If you will like to dip your onion rings in ketchup, get a substitute for tomato paste. You can also try a mayo-based dip to keep those carbs low!

#6: Egg Salad

Even though eggs have gotten some bad reputation in the past, experts confirmed it that eating whole eggs has shown to impact blood cholesterol in such a way that significantly reduces the risk of stroke and heart diseases. Eggs also serve as a great source of choline, which has proved to be essential for liver and brain health.

Combine one large smash hard-boiled egg with half a teaspoon of mustard and one teaspoon mayonnaise for a tasty keto diet snack.

#7: Walnuts

Walnuts are low in carbs, moderate in protein and high in fat, which makes them a perfect snack for keto fans. Also, they are heart-healthy. Stick to a serving size of one handful, or you will be adding up calories through this.

#8: Low Carb Chocolate Peanut Butter Bark

If you are the type that also has a sweet tooth, you will find this recipe interesting. With the use of natural peanut butter, coconut oil, sugar-free chocolate, and some whole and crushed pecans, you will be having a freezer snack ready at all times.

#9: Pork Rinds

Pork skin which usually puffs up when fried is no doubt, a perfect substitute for chips. Even though they are not as filling, they are high in fat, which makes them perfect for keto and a great snack when you need a moment to do some mindless eating. They often come in a variety of seasonings, but I will recommend you avoid the kinds with added MSG.

#10: Steak Bites

Of course, steak is allowed on a keto diet, but be careful so you don’t sit down to a big slab of steak as a snack. Instead, get a piece grilled and then cut into bite-sized pieces and refrigerate until you are ready to eat it.

So, which of these will you try first? Remember to tell your friends which of them you think are the best keto snacks. You just can’t tell who will fall in love with these delicious recipes!
