Keto-Friendly Snacks to Satisfy Your Hunger
Eating carbs or other non-keto-friendly snacks may be tempting when you are on a ketogenic diet. There are many snack options that you can try.
Let’s dive into quick and tasty keto-friendly snacks to satisfy our hunger pangs.
Treat yourself with low-carb snacks.
Mixed nuts
You’ve probably heard it all at one time or another. This is a great idea, especially for those on the keto diet. Nuts are low in carbs but pack a punch. A trail mix can be made with any combination of nuts, including peanuts, cashews and pecans. It’s keto’s choice. They are delicious and available in various flavors, including sweet or spicy.
Keto smoothie
A creamy peanut butter smoothie is the ultimate comfort food. This high-protein keto option is great for ice cream cravings or post-gym recovery drinks. And it’s (almost) sugar-free. Blend 1 Cup of unsweetened almond milk, 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter and 3 tablespoons of monk fruit. One cup of crushed ice is also available. One tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder is also available (if you want to indulge in chocolate). This smoothie is low in sugar and will satisfy your sweet tooth.
Caprese salad
Although we are certain that the answer is yes, is Caprese salad? This delicious, lettuce-free delight is more like a charcuterie bite. It doesn’t matter how you see it; this dessert is keto-friendly. Layer your favorite mozzarella slices on top of tomato wheels and fresh basil leaves. Sprinkle olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette over the entire dish and season with salt and pepper.
Keto cookies
You can skip the baking and grab some pre-made keto cookies to take with you for a sweet treat between meals.
Pork Rinds
Pork rinds make a great keto snack. These snacks are easy to carry and great for snacking on during Zoom meetings. You can eat them as-is or dip them in sour cream and Guacamole.
Peanut butter fat bombs
These fat bombs are a must-try. This sweet treat will combat sugar cravings. You will need peanut butter, coconut oil and almond milk to make this delicious treat. Keep a tray of these in the refrigerator for high-fat snacks.
Bacon and Guacamole
Combine your favorite breakfast food with the best snack to make a powerful combination. To make a creamy, delicious treat, dip your bacon in guac. Keep a bag of bacon in a convenient place and a single-serve container of guac on hand for quick prep. You can also make your homemade Guacamole.
Guacamole and Veggies
Even if bacon is not your thing, you still have the option of enjoying a delicious afternoon with guac. For a quick snack, grab pre-cut celery, carrot sticks, and ready-made Guacamole.

Lox and cream cheese rolls
Although this snack sounds fancy, it is very easy to make. You will need some lox or smoked salmon and some cream cheese. Add some mashed avocado to the cream cheese if you want to add healthy fats to your snacks.
Cheddar cheese crisps
This snack has everything. Mix your favorite shredded cheese (or other cheeses like parmesan), and then bake. This crispy cheese chip is a delicious snack that will keep you from reaching for the chips or even the whole bagel.
Pepperoni pizza bites
