Have you recently started the keto diet? There’s more to it than bulletproof coffee and avocados! We like variety and when you begin a more restrictive diet like the keto diet, it can be hard to get variety in your snacks.
This is by no means an exhaustive list, but we’re sharing a few of our favorite snacks that are good for protein and most importantly, very low in carbs.
Moon Cheese
Snacks that offer variety will keep your taste buds happy while your body gets the energy it needs. Instead of buying premade mixes you can easily make your own to avoid a ton of added salt and sugar.
Throw together a homemade assortment of your favorite nuts and dried fruits – almonds are high in protein and fiber and also give you an added boost of vitamin E and antioxidants. Tis the season and pumpkin seeds are another great choice, they pack high amounts of zinc and magnesium which will give you even more of an energy boost. For the fruit, look for ones with little to no added sugar like apricots, figs and prunes.
You’ve probably heard egg white omelets praised for being a healthy source of protein, and now you can take your favorite egg whites on the go! Quevos is the protein and fiber packed snack you’ve been missing. With four tasty flavors, you’ve got a grab ‘n go snack that is minimally processed, low sugar, high-protein and free of preservatives.

An alternative to hummus, roasted chickpeas are a great snack that you can flavor to your preference. They are high in fiber, protein, potassium and Vitamin C and are delicious on their own or dusted with cinnamon or cocoa powder.
