17 Keto Snacks On The Go Ideas
When you need keto snacks on the go, there are loads of incredibly easy options. In this post I’ll share some of my favorites that I’ve enjoyed throughout the past year while I’ve been following the low carb, ketogenic diet.
I like to keep things really easy. (Hence the name of my blog is Easy Keto Living!) So, you’ll see that these homemade keto snacks on the go require little to no preparation whatsoever.
Maybe just a little chop here or throwing ingredients into a lunch box to take on the go. But, for the most part these are easy grab and go low carb snacks.
Best Keto Snacks
Here are the easy keto snacks ideas that you can easily find at your local grocery store:
1. Salami – sticks, chopped, or whole salami finds it’s way into a snack box more often than not. I always have some of the high protein snack in the fridge and I make sure I buy more every week with my groceries to snack on as a portable snack.
2. Jerky – watch carefully for added sugar and hidden carbs, otherwise, beef jerky makes an excellent ketogenic savoury snack.
Bonus – another meaty snack option is pork rinds, which make the perfect crunchy, salty great keto snack alternative to potato chips.
3. Dark Chocolate – a row or two makes a quick snack that satisfies your sweet tooth and is always easy to find when you’re out and about. The sweet treat is the perfect snack to enjoy when you’re following a keto lifestyle.
4. Nuts – almonds, cashew nuts, pecan nuts, macadamia nuts and pine nuts make a great protein rich low carb snack. Just make sure you exercise portion control because carbs can add up quickly with nuts.
5. Seeds – pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and chia seeds are another great quick grab and go keto snack option.
6. Nut Butter – a packet of almond butter has saved me on a number of occasions, especially on road trips! Enjoy straight from the packet or sandwich a couple of pieces of dark chocolate together with some nut butter. (You’ll thank me later!) You could also opt for peanut butter, cashew butter, macadamia butter or any other nut butters you can find.
7. Avocado – a half or even a whole avocado is one of the most perfect keto snacks on the go. Just remember to pack a knife/spoon if you’re taking it out and about whole.
8. Strawberries – I’ve had 3-4 strawberries a day as a snack through most of my keto diet weight loss journey and look forward to the sweet treat each day, which helps keep my sugar cravings at bay.
9. Sliced Cucumber – I’ll often slice up a whole cucumber to take out to the park to share with my kids, it’s a crunchy snack the whole family loves.
10. Cherry Tomatoes – maybe I’ll pop a couple in with the cucumbers for a little pop of colour and flavor variation.
11. Pickles – the perfect low carb salty snack that’s wonderful enjoyed on it’s own or you could dip a couple of pickles into sour cream for an extra sour hit. While I prefer pickles, my husband prefers kalamata olives, which are another options for keto dieters who are looking for snacks with virtually zero carbs.
12. Tin of Tuna – perfect protein which you can add a dollop of healthy fats to make an instant tuna salad to satisfy your snack cravings. I like to mix through either mayo, sour cream, cream cheese or even avocado oil. I have also been known to each tuna straight from the tin with the help of a take away fork!
You could also top cucumber slices or celery sticks with tuna mayo for a low-carb diet approved snack that’s low in grams of net carbs.
If you’d like, you could even whip together a tuna salad lunch box with a tin of tuna and a few of the other items mentioned in this list. (I show you how here!)
13. Grated Cheese – it really doesn’t get any easier than buying ready grated cheese, such as cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese or parmesan cheese, that can be used in any number of low carb, high fat ways. Even just enjoyed by the handful as a snack!
14. Brie – maybe not a whole wheel of brie, but a portion can make a delicious snack. Though, I have shared a whole wheel with my Husband in the past – so don’t feel bad if you have more than a small portion.
15. Boccocini – my Husband takes a tub of mini boccocini to keep in the fridge at work each week and snacks on them when he feels like it. You may prefer string cheese or another cheese option as keto-friendly snacks.
16. Leftover Meat/Chicken/Hard Boiled eggs – there are always leftovers lurking in my fridge which can be thrown into a lunch box to snack on while out and about.
17. Green Leafy Veg – it’s easy being green! Just enjoy greens on their own or simply topped with good fats like olive oil or melted coconut oil and sea salt salt if you want a great snack option but don’t feel like a whole salad of a meal.
So those are my 17 go to healthy Keto Snacks which I enjoy on a regular basis. I hope you’ve found heaps of inspiration among these ideas!
