Keto Snacks with 8 Grams of Net Carbs or Less
Share
It seems the longer you are keto, the more fat-adapted you become and, ultimately, the less hungry you may be as a result. But, until you cross over into being fully fat-adapted and even metabolically flexible, you may get hungry between meals. And, even if you are a keto veteran, you may want a little something to nibble every now and then. For those times, keep this list of keto-friendly snacks with 8 grams of net carbs or less per serving handy.
Keto Buffalo Chicken Wings
Our Keto Buffalo Wings are every bit as crispy-skinned, tender-on-the-inside, spicy and sexed-up as the most crave-worthy wings out there. We used an AirFryer to get the right texture (no deep-fried bath in cheap seed oils here!), and whipped up a finger-licking-good hot sauce made with our Primal Kitchen Spicy Ketchup to coat the wings.

Asian Meatballs
This entire recipe includes an umami broth, sesame ginger flavor, bok choy and shiitakes as well as beef meatballs, but you can always make a double batch of meatballs to save for snacking when the urge hits. They’re pure grass-fed protein and fat spiked with the flavor and slight heat of ginger and garlic, a salty splash of coconut aminos, and fresh bite from cilantro leaves.

Buffalo Chicken Dip
This cheesy, zesty, spicy, meaty dip is just the thing for any potluck or party. If you use a store-bought cooked rotisserie chicken, prep couldn’t be easier—simply mix all of the ingredients together and bake for 20 minutes. Serve with crisp celery sticks, cucumber rounds or jicama sticks and watch it disappear.

Turkey Club Lettuce Wraps
Salty, smoky, creamy, fatty, a burst of sweet from fresh tomato—you get all of the harmoniously contrasting flavors of a traditional turkey club sandwich (with avocado, because, keto) without the bloat from the bread. Watch our video to learn the wrapping technique, and you’ll be rolling up wraps in no time. Eat half or a quarter for a snack now, and save the rest in the fridge for later.

Chicken Bone Broth
Intensely savory, herbaceous, and calming, could a warm cup of chicken bone broth really be a cure for ailments? Even if all it does medicinally is provide comfort, this salty, soothing broth makes a great sippable snack or base for a keto soup.
Nutritional info per serving (1 cup): Calories 90, Carbs: 1.4 grams, Fat: 5.4 grams, Protein: 8.4 grams
Spicy Chorizo Stuffed Jalapenos
If you love jalapeno poppers, our remake may be just the thing to satisfy that salty-spicy craving. Instead of breading and deep frying, we blister our jalapenos in the oven; this enhances their slightly smoky and spicy flavor even more. Stuff each jalapeno half with well-spiced chorizo, onions and garlic, and cheese, and you’ll get all of the flavor of the original version without the filler.
