Guide To Keto Diet Approved Snacks

Keto Smoothies

Everyone enjoys drinking smoothies, right? Smoothies are a popular snack, particularly for after a workout. The great news is that it’s very easy for those on the ketogenic diet to tweak smoothie recipes to make them keto-approved. Continuing the trend of nuts, why not have a chocolate peanut butter smoothie as a snack? For the liquid, use 1 cup of unsweetened plant-based milk and some ice. Add in a quarter cup of heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. Finish it off with 2 to 3 tablespoons of natural, creamy peanut butter (or another nut butter). Blend these ingredients and pour them into a glass. Enjoy!

Berry avocado smoothies also work well, though people have to pay attention to what berries and how many they use. Blueberries, for instance, are a bit higher in carbohydrates. Small amounts of blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries work! Mix some of these berries with water, half an avocado, a handful of spinach, and some hemp seeds or chia seeds for a keto-approved berry smoothie!

Cheese

Crackers may not be allowed on the ketogenic diet, but cheese is. Yes, when push comes to shove, cheese is a reliable snack to fall back on. There are hundreds of different kinds of cheese out there, and all of them are high in fat but low in carbohydrates. This means people have their pick! People can eat slices of brick cheddar or mozzarella cheese or cubes of it. They can even shred whatever cheese they want and fry or bake the shreds into cheese chips! Many people find cheddar is the best cheese for cheese chips, but mozzarella and parmesan work well too! Cheese chips are as simple as just frying or baking cheese, but many find adding a sprinkle of paprika or garlic powder adds an extra kick!
