Top Ten On The Go Keto Snack Options 

Since the weather got warmer and the days got longer, I have gotten busier as I am sure you have too. Not only does the nice weather bring on the yard work, a garden, and various outdoor projects, it also brings warm summer evenings, and weekends that just demand fishing and family time in the beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountains be in the itinerary.

That being said, I want to apologize that these reasons were a contributing factor to fewer new recipes the last couple months. Between that, and the fact my recipe development has required more tweaking than usual, new recipes are taking a little longer to be fully developed.

I had hoped to have my most recent recipe fully developed by this week, but it looks like it needs just a touch more experimentation before it is ready to be released. However, I will let you know this recipe is going to be well worth the wait!  Since this recipe is taking it’s time in coming, and my weeks have been so hectic I decided to put together a list of some of the keto snack options that have kept me going through this crazy, crazy summer!

Let me know what you think of these keto snack options, and what snacks you like! I’m always looking for new snack ideas!

 

Pork Rinds 

Pork rinds are an awesome keto friendly, low carb snack. With absolutely no carbs, and packed full of flavor, pork rinds are a common go to snack for me. Some afternoons at the office I find myself, tired and struggling to stay awake. That’s when it’s time to break out some spicy pork rinds and nibble away!

Mixed Nuts

 

Mixed nuts are another great keto snack option! However, if you are concentrating on weight loss I recommend you eat a very minimal amount of nuts. Higher in carbs than some snack options, and very high in calories mixed nuts are great for the active person needing energy, but not so great for someone trying to limit their calorie intake.

For those of you like me, who quickly tire of the flavor of mixed nuts try our Southwest Mixed Nuts Recipe or our Classic Ranch Mixed Nuts for some added pizzazz!

Ratio Keto Bars

 

Here at our local grocery store they carry an amazing keto friendly granola bar made by Ratio. While they are a little pricy, they are oh so, so delicious! The first time I tasted one, I was pleasantly surprised. Not only was the flavor so delicious, but I also knew and could pronounce every one of the ingredients on the ingredient list! I don’t know about you but that was HUGE to me! These quickly became a regular on my grocery list!

Quest Protein Bars

Protein is something I often look for in my snacks! When living an active lifestyle, and striving for muscle gain eating an adequate amount of protein can be difficult. On those days I know I’ll need a snack with some extra protein, the Quest Protein Bar is one of my go to’s. While the flavor is not as good to me as the Ratio Bar, Quest Bars have 20 to 21 grams of protein. They also have a slightly higher carb count as well. This means like mixed nuts these bars should be avoided if you are concentrating on weight loss.

Jocko Mölk Shake

Those of you who have followed me for any amount of time know I am OBSESSED with Jocko Mölk, and welcome any opportunity to use it! This time of year I use it often as I really struggle with getting overheated, and find myself not wanting to eat because the heat has me feeling full. On those warm days, I know I need some protein and calories, I whip together a Mölk shake. Mölk comes in several different flavors, making your shake possibilities endless! Whether you are in the mood for a classic vanilla shake, or want to try something different such as the Smashing Pumpkin or Chocolate Mint (my personal favorite) Jocko has you covered. These protein powders are by far some of the best on the market, in both ingredient quality and flavor! 

Lily’s Chocolate Bars

 

If you are looking for something sweet to nibble on mid day, Lily’s Chocolate bars are the way to go! Whether you like a classic chocolate bar, or prefer something more exotic such as coconut chocolate or blood orange Lily’s chocolate has you covered! Sweetened with erythritol and not that nasty stuff other chocolate companies use, Lily’s Chocolate bars are without question the best sugar free chocolate bars out there!

Meat and Cheese

A simple meat and cheese roll up is another great keto snack option! Roast beef and pepper jack, ham and cheddar, or Turkey and Provolone are just a few of the delicious meat and cheese combos you can come up with! Just stay away from honey ham and any other sweet cured lunch meat to ensure you don’t wind up with sugars you didn’t want!

Oikos Triple Zero Greek Yogurt

Totaling to only 2 net carbs per serving and 15 grams of protein, this sugar free greek yogurt is a tasty summer snack, and can often be found in my lunch bag for when I get those midmorning cravings!

Cheese 

If you have read much of my blog you may have caught on to the fact that I love cheese! Cheese is a great keto snack option, and is something I probably snack on daily! There again like many of my keto snacks, cheese is a great option for someone active and shouldn’t be eaten in large amounts if you are focusing on weight loss. If this is the case for you, I recommend you find a weight lifting program immediately so you can enjoy all the delicious keto snacks without having to limit yourself to just a nibble here and a nibble there. 😉
