Whether you’re a seasoned Ketogenic dieter or new to the game, you’ve likely struggled with one major thing – SNACKS.
The spice of life, right?
We seem to have breakfast, lunch and dinners figured out. But what about snacks? What about those moments where you’re sitting at your desk, or watching a movie, and your normal snacking is out the window with this low-carb dieting? Thankfully, Keto snacks are some of the best Keto-specific recipes out there. You’ll not only squash your cravings, but you’ll also refuel with healthy fat snacks that will keep you going until dinner.
53. Pork Rinds
Pork skin that puffs up when fried is the perfect substitute for chips. These aren’t very filling, but they’re high in fat (helpful for keto) and the perfect snack when you need to do some mindless eating.
They come in a variety of seasonings, but best stay away from the kinds that add MSG. You can always season them yourself too, make nachos, dip in cream-based dips and so on. They’re usually found in most grocery stores, but if you’re having trouble finding them, check out your local Asian food market!
52. Low-Carb Keto Tuna Pickle Boats
When you get hangry, you need a good snack, and quick. This recipe will save your diet, keep you from grabbing the wrong things, and is low-calorie, low-carb, high-fat and everything you’ve dreamed of.
Don’t shy away from the odd combination – it’s actually a pretty amazing food fusion. The tanginess of the dill pickle is the perfect compliment to its tuna salad filling.

Ok so this is a dip, but one with endless opportunities. Dip a cheese crisp, crispy bacon, flax seed crackers or veggies into this avocado-based dip (which if you haven’t heard by now – is an essential “healthy” fat in your diet).
Truly ambitious? You can just eat it off a spoon. Oh, the perks of the low-carb diet.
50. Cheese Crisps
As was just suggested to dip in guac, cheese crisps are a great option for dipping or just eating by themselves. They’re basically cheese, crisped.
Made quickly in the oven by placing sliced cheddar cheese onto parchment, broiled and then left to cool, these bubble and harden into the perfect chip!
Photo and Recipe Credit: Forkly49. Canned Sardines
While you may feel a little hesitant about these, as it turns out, they’re not the gross, disgusting fish heads you may have envisioned them to be.
Typically packed in oil with the heads removed, canned dardines are easily forked and eaten for a perfect low-carb snack. If you’re wondering what they taste like? They’re a lot like a mild tuna, actually. They often come in flavors such as jalapeno and tomato sauces for some added delight. Don’t knock it till you try it! Plus, they’re fairly inexpensive, so they’re worth a shot.
48. Low-Carb Onion Rings
Made with white onion, coconut flour, eggs, whipping cream, pork rinds and parmesan cheese – these onion rings are the baked, keto-version of onion rings you never knew existed.
If you prefer to dip your onion rings in ketchup, try and swap for tomato paste, or a sugar-free homemade version. Or, instead – opt for a mayo-based dip to keep those carbs low!
Photo and Recipe Credit: Keto Connect47. Peanut Butter
Now, not just any kind of peanut butter. On the ketogenic diet, you’re going to have to steer clear of anything with added sugars (meaning added carbs).
Opt for a healthier natural version, which is the perfect snack when paired with some celery (sorry, no raisins on this log!) … or just on a spoon. Always read your labels, and find the nut butter that’s best for you. Almond is also a popular choice!
46. Low Carb Chocolate Peanut Butter Bark
Have a sweet tooth? This recipe is for you! With the use of coconut oil, natural peanut butter, sugar-free chocolate and some whole and crushed pecans, you have a freezer snack ready at all times.

Make them in a large batch (heck, why not the whole dozen?) all at once, and have them ready for grabbing on the go as you need them throughout the week.
There are some places that you can buy them pre-made, but if you’ve got a pot, some water, and some eggs – you can do this all on your own (we believe in you!).

Invest in a nutcracker, because it’s time you get cracking on some snacking nuts. It’s recommended that you get the kind still in the shell for a good reason – they take longer to eat.
While nuts are amazing to enjoy on the Keto diet, they still have to be consumed in moderation. High in fat, low in carbs, they’re also calorie dense. It’s an easy fix by slowing yourself down with the process of cracking when enjoying.

These sandwich-like roll-ups are perfect to pack for snacking throughout the day, packing in your lunch or even having as an evening snack when you feel peckish.

30. Dark Chocolate
Like almost all snacks, you’ll need to read your labels first before you begin munching! However, you may be surprised to be seeing dark chocolate on this list, but it’s true – it’s safe on Keto. If you get the right kind, that is.
