10 Best Keto Snacks_ Ideas and Recipes
Trying to find some easy low-carb keto snacks to hold you over until your next meal?
It can be difficult to find snacks that won’t kick you out of ketosis but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
THE KETOGENIC DIET
The keto diet is a high-fat, moderate protein and low-carb diet plan that forces your body into a state of ketosis.
Ketosis causes your body to metabolize fat into ketones which it uses for energy, making it the most optimal diet to burn fat and lose weight.
To reach ketosis you need to consume fewer than 10% of your daily calories from carbohydrates which means most of today’s snacks go out the window.
KETO SNACKS BREAKDOWN
So what are some keto snacks you can munch on while on a keto diet?
There are actually a lot of delicious, nutritious and easy snacks you can prepare each day.
Here are my favorite 10 yummy easy-to-grab low-carb keto snacks that will keep you in ketosis and losing weight!
1. CUCUMBER AND KALAMATA OLIVES
Cucumber And Kalamata Olives
A cup of chopped cucumbers and ten big olives make an excellent keto snack with numerous benefits.
It is good for assisting you to supplement your levels of sodium if you are in ketosis since your body requires more sodium when you are in this state.
The lack of sufficient sodium can result in constipation, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalances.
2. EGG SALAD A YUMMY KETO SNACK
Consumption of whole eggs has the benefit of modifying blood cholesterol in a manner that minimizes the risk of stroke and heart disease.
Eggs are also excellent sources of choline, which is essential for liver and brain health.
Smash a big hard-boiled egg and mix with half a teaspoon of mustard and a tablespoon of mayonnaise for a delicious low-carb keto snack.

A single serving of this snack consists of 6.5 grams of protein, 175 calories, 15 grams of fat and an incredibly low 0.5 gram net carbs!!
