Looking for some tasty items to add to your keto shopping list?
We love that keto snacks, cereals and treats have become so easy to find. Whether you’re following a keto eating plan or just trying to balance out your macros, you’ll love the list we’ve picked out for you.
Before we begin, it’s important to note that a ketogenic diet should always be followed in consultation with your health professional. This is to ensure that you get the right amount and types of macro and micronutrients.
With all this in mind, let’s start exploring the keto diet.
What is a keto diet?
Hands up if you know about ketogenic diets.
For those that are new to this lifestyle, it’s a way of eating that includes very few carbohydrates.
When your body has no carbohydrates to use as fuel, it burns fat as a fuel source instead, a state called ‘ketosis’.
People choose to cut carbs for a range of reasons. There’s research that suggests a ketogenic diet may be helpful for certain medical conditions, while also being a popular method for weight loss.
Whatever your motivation, here are some keto snacks you may want to add to your shopping list.
Tasty keto snacks
Busy? We hear you. These tasty keto snacks are perfect for a quick treat on the go, or to enjoy with a cup of keto coffee.

These tasty little bites are made with a natural blend of almonds, pea protein and coconut MCT oil. They’re vegan, gluten-free and contain less than 2.5g of carbs per serve. They also contain 28% fibre, which can be rare for a keto snack.

The only thing that needs to be said is that these are peanut butter and caramel flavoured. Need we say more? They’re also gluten-free and contain collagen and prebiotic goodness.
The perfect friend to a cup of keto coffee.

Low Carb Life Lemonlicious Slice Keto Bake Mix
These double-layered lemon slices might look fancy, but they are are actually very easy to prepare. And you don’t have to tell anyone they’re a packet mix - your secret is safe with us.
Keto cookies
Eating keto doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy cookies. That would just be cruel.
Luckily, we take biscuits very seriously here, so there are a couple of options you may want to try out.
Keto Naturals Cookies Buttery Coconut
Buttery coconut - what a scrumptious flavour combination. These keto cookies are gluten-free, vegan and contain only 4g of carbs per serving.
Keto Naturals Cookies Vanilla
These vanilla-flavoured keto cookies are similar to their Buttery Coconut counterparts but with one difference - they contain 5g of carbs per serving instead of 4g. Other than that, they’re also vegan-friendly and gluten-free.
Keto granola muesli
I bet you didn’t know keto granola was a thing. This concept is relatively new and it’s exciting to see all the new products. Here are some of our favourites.
Live Wholefoods Organic Activated Keto Muesli
Gut-loving, vegan and wrapped in recycled packaging, this organic keto muesli is full of interesting ingredients. But most interesting of all - activated nuts.
Activated nuts are simply nuts that have been left to soak in salted water over a period of time, which starts off their germination or sprouting process. After that, they are then dehydrated at a low temperature.
As this keto muesli also contains almonds, sunflower seeds, pepitas and walnuts, it’s quite the flavour punch.
The Monday Food Co Keto Granola Crunchy Roast Almond & Cardamon
When you’re following a ketogenic diet, it can sometimes be hard to find the crunch. But this decadent granola brings it in bursts. With roasted almonds, shredded coconut, sunflower seeds and pepitas, we’re pretty big fans. We also love that it’s gluten-free, grain-free and vegan-friendly.
Keto chocolate treats
You may be surprised by the wide range of keto chocolates available on the market and how good they all are. Here are some great options.
Loving Earth 72% Dark Chocolate
You know those products that are perfectly thought out, from the source ingredients to the packaging? This is it. Even the cocoa beans are well-travelled, starting their journey with a 100km canoe trip to the nearest road. Plant-based, organic, gluten-free and with compostable packaging, this dark chocolate steals the show.
Vitawerx Protein Milk Chocolate Coated Macadamias
As the perfect handbag snack, we love that these milk chocolate protein macadamias are more than just a fun keto treat. They’re also packed full of protein and pack a real punch with 15g per serve.
Organic Times Dark Chocolate Macadamia Nuts
What’s better than organic macadamia nuts? Australian-grown organic macadamia nuts, covered in creamy dark chocolate. These fair-trade treats are certified organic and made with rapadura sugar.
Is keto right for you?
A ketogenic diet should always be followed in consultation with a health professional, to ensure that it is right for you, and that you are getting the right amount and types of macro and micronutrients.
