Keto Snacks

One of the biggest challenges of any diet is finding healthy and satisfying snack options. On the keto diet, it’s important to choose snacks that are low in carbs and high in healthy fats. In this chapter, we’ll discuss some delicious and easy-to-prepare snack options that are perfect for the keto diet.

Nuts and Seeds

Nuts and seeds are a great source of healthy fats and protein, and they make an excellent snack option. Some keto-friendly nuts and seeds include almonds, walnuts, pecans, macadamia nuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds. Try sprinkling some nuts and seeds on top of Greek yogurt or cottage cheese for a quick and filling snack.
