5 Low Carb | Keto Grab & Go Snacks For Weight Loss
Hello, I’m Jen and I’m a “snack-aholic”. Is that a thing? Who knows. What I do know though is that I LOVE snacks. Actually my whole family loves snacks. Whether it’s because we’re watching a movie, hanging out at the park with our daughter, at work, bored.. you get it right?
If you’re anything like us, you really need to have a variety of different low carb and keto snacks hanging around. Otherwise you may go off the rails and get into some foods that you know are naughty.
I decided to create a list of 5 yummy snacks that we really enjoy and think you would too. I want you to know that this list is comprised of mostly pre-made or pre-packaged foods. This makes it pretty perfect if you’re super busy or you don’t have time to meal prep your snacks.
High Fat- Low Carb Snack #1
I really want to make sure that you stick to your low carb journey and reach whatever goals you might have. I know that in order for me to succeed I need to have a plan. That plan is low carb snacks that are readily available whenever a craving or urge for crappy food comes along.
Our first snack is a bit higher in fats. As you know this is okay when living a keto lifestyle. The great thing about a fattier snack is that it can be quite small, but will keep you satiated.
For this snack we have a beef stick, macadamia nuts and jalapeño jack olives.
I absolutely adore this snack. It’s super salty and delicious. You can purchase both the macadamia nuts and the Country Archer beef sticks at Costco.
If you do not have a Costco membership you can get both of these items from Target.
The olives were purchased at Aldi. I love getting them from Aldi because they have a ton of different stuffed olives. I’m unsure if they are available everywhere, but I did find some stuffed olives on Wal-Mart’s site.

High Protein- Low Carb Snack #2
Our second snack is higher protein and does require a tiny bit of prep work. This snack consists of delicious pork rinds, 1 soft or hard boiled egg and a bag of Dilly Bites (pickles). We actually purchased the pork rinds and the eggs from our local Grocery Outlet and the pickles from Aldi. The pickles actually come in a 6 pack, but I have even seen them sold individually at the Dollar Tree!
Guess what? I found that you can purchase every item listed in snack 2 from Wal-Mart!

High Protein & High Fat-Low Carb Snack #3
Snack #3 requires zero work. It has high fat and high protein which is really good if you’ve missed a meal. Snack #3 consists of salami, blackberries and Whisps. The bag of salami was purchased at Ralphs (I believe it’s called Kroger in other states) and the blackberries and Whisps were purchased at Costco, because the price for both were outstanding.
Snack 3- Salami, Blackberries, Parmesan Whisps

Ingredients
- 6 slices (or 26 grams) of salami

Moderate Protein- Low Carb Snack #4
Here is another snack option that includes a “fresh” ingredient. I purchased the English cucumber and the gourmet almonds from Costco. The gouda snacking cheese are my 18 month old daughters favorite and we always get them at Aldi. If you are a huge cheese fan, you should definitely check out Aldi as they have a great selection.
Wal-Mart never ceases to amaze me. I was able to find like products at Wal-Mart. So if you do not have a Costco membership or an Aldi near you, I’d suggest checking out your local Wal-Mart.

Moderate Carbohydrates- Low Carb Snack #5
Finally onto our last snack. This snack is a bit higher in carbohydrates, but only because we’ve added tomatoes to the mix. If you are very strict then you may want to skip the tomatoes, but they’re pretty tasty and it’s only two small grape tomatoes.
If you do not like feta cheese, then you can easily swap it out for one that you love. I really like feta cheese because it’s the perfect amount of creamy and tangy. Also it’s really good with tomatoes.
You can get all of these items at Wal-Mart.
Snack 5- Tomatoes, Cucumber, Pepitas, Feta cheese
