Healthy Keto Snacks

Are you hungry on the keto diet yet your next meal is several hours away? A keto snack could be the solution. Snacks can buy you time, allowing you to postpone meals to accommodate your hectic schedule. 

Snacking, on the other hand, should not be done every day. In fact, you should ideally not feel the need to nibble at all. One significant advantage of keto is that it frequently eliminates hunger for hours following meals. If you need to snack frequently, try adding more protein to your meals, along with more calories from fat if necessary.

Check out the amazing keto options below for those occasions when you need a snack. 

 Chocolate  

A chocolate treat is permissible on a keto diet. Enjoy a small amount of 70% cocoa or higher chocolate — ideally two squares at most. Milk chocolate and dark chocolate with less than 70% cocoa are higher in carbohydrates.

One 86% chocolate square has 2 grams of net carbohydrates. One square of 70% chocolate has 3.5 grams of net carbohydrates. A square of 70% or 86% chocolate shaved over whipped cream lets a small amount go a long way.

 Cheese 

Hard cheeses like Parmigiano, Cheddar, Swiss, and Gruyere are high in protein and low in fat compared to soft cheeses like brie. They're also high in minerals including calcium, phosphate, and vitamin A. 

Olives 

Olives are high in heart-healthy lipids, fibre, and taste, but low in cholesterol. There are numerous nuts to pick from. If sodium is an issue, choose fresh over brined. 

Nuts 

Pecan, walnut, almonds, cashew, pistachios, and macadamia nuts are all good options. It's very simple to measure a single serving: around  ¼ cup fits perfectly in the palm of your hand.

 Eggs

 Eggs are endlessly adaptable and great for keto: 1 big egg has 6g of protein, 5g of fat, and less than 1g   of carbohydrates. They're quick and simple to prepare, whether scrambled, boiled, fried, or poached.

 Avocado 

Avocados are high in vitamins C, E, K, and B6, as well as riboflavin, niacin, magnesium, potassium, beta carotene, omega-3 fatty acids, and fibre. Plus, they go well with almost anything!

 Yogurt & Fruit 

We like this one since the possibilities are unlimited. Because most low-fat yoghurts have added sugar, opt for plain high-fat yoghurt prepared with whole milk. Greek yoghurt is strong in protein and a satisfying snack. Combine with keto-friendly fruits such as raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries, which are lower in carbs and sugar than other fruits. 

Fermented vegetables 

Fermented veggies, such as pickles, are excellent keto snacks.
According to research, eating fermented foods containing beneficial bacteria may support good digestive function and lower your risk of diabetes and heart disease.
