So, I am just beginning my Keto Journey and doing lots of research for easy, delicious and, of coarse, Low carb snack ideas. I came across this awesome article by Dr. Axe, he is one of the best go to keto mentors, and he had a bunch of great snacks full of healthy fats and protein-rich ingredients.

If you are looking for something to keep you satisfied between meals, but also want all the good-for-you healthy fats as well, this is just the thing for you! Just click on the snack title for the easy to follow recipe.
Hope you enjoy, I know I will!

 

Snack #1: Paleo Brownies

Mmm, brownies. Wait, keto brownies? Yes! These are made with coconut oil and arrowroot starch — no grains allowed. For strict keto, substitute a little stevia for the maple sugar in this one. The brownies are still deliciously chocolatey.

Snack #2: Keto Chocolate Avocado Pudding

Chocolate and avocados are a strangely fantastic combination. Adding avocado to dessert-type recipes gives them a smooth, silky texture without a pronounced flavor. That’s certainly the case with this pudding, which is crazy easy to make. Just add cocoa powder, avocado, stevia, vanilla extract and salt to a bowl and mix. Easy? Yes. Tasty? Also yes.

Snack #3: Gluten-Free Baked Meatballs

These easy-to-make meatballs are great as a pre-dinner snack or keto appetizer. They’re packed with protein, thanks to three types of meat: beef, bison and lamb. They’re nice and moist, no doubt thanks to the raw goat cheese and coconut oil that are baked right into them. Best of all, these keto snacks are absolutely fool-proof!

Snack #4: Fat Head Nachos

These nachos use the trendy Fat Head pizza crust as the “nachos” with a Tex-Mex twist, substituting cilantro, cumin and chili for the rosemary and garlic in the pizza base. After you cut them into tortilla shapes, you’ll load them with a meaty sauce and finish off the nachos with your favorite toppings, like guacamole, jalapeños and salsa. They’re the perfect snack to enjoy with family on movie night.

Snack #5: Coconut Boosters

These little keto snacks may look like candy, but they are pure healthy fat goodness. Made with coconut oil, chia seeds, vanilla extract and coconut flakes, they’re the perfect size to tide you over until your next meal.

Snack #6: Buffalo Keto Chicken Tenders

The low-carb “breading” on these tenders produces a crispy exterior just like your favorite restaurant chicken tenders. You’ll first dip each chicken piece in an egg-and-cream wash, then dip it into seasoned almond flour, which is gluten-free and contains no grains. You’ll bake the chicken to perfection and then sauce the tenders to order. Best of all, this method works great anytime you want crispy chicken, saucy or not!

Snack #7: Blackberry Nut Fat Bombs

Heart-healthy macadamia nuts make up the “crust” of these blackberry fat bombs. They’re full of coconut oil and coconut butter, plus a bit of soft cheese and blackberries for natural sweetness. With no baking required, these keto snacks are super easy to make.

Snack #8: Bulletproof Hot Chocolate 

Turn your mug of hot chocolate into a bulletproof version with this recipe. Perfect as an after-dinner keto snack, this hot chocolate has grass-fed butter, coconut or MCT oil and cocoa powder, turning your favorite cold weather drink into a keto powerhouse.
