The Best Keto Snacks from Walmart

You really can find a variety of yummy and easy keto snacks from Walmart. Here’s what to buy when you are on a low-carb diet.

Think the only place to buy low-carb snacks is online or at expensive health-food stores? Think again! There are a bunch of different keto-friendly snacks you can pick up when you are on a Walmart run.

Keto Snacks At Walmart

Everyone knows that Walmart is all about convenience and low prices. While you are buying groceries, you can pick up some socks and laundry detergent too.

But what most people don’t know is that they are getting a lot better at carrying a variety of low-carb foods too. The grocery and health-foods sections are growing.

Let’s look closely at how to hack your grocery shopping trip at Walmart so you buy the best keto snacks that will help you stay on track.

#1 Fresh Produce

The easiest way to buy keto snacks at Walmart is to buy fresh produce. I know, munching on raw broccoli is pretty boring. But if you are crunched for time and don’t have time to read food labels, you can’t go wrong with fruits and vegetables.

It’s true, there are some fruits and veggies that have more natural carbs than others. So keep a master list of the lowest-carb choices.

Here are the best fruits and vegetables to eat on keto, along with their macros. The carbs are listed as net carbs per 100 grams serving size.

Veggies:

• Avocado – 2 grams
• Spinach – 1 gram
• Zucchini – 3 grams
• Cucumber – 3 grams
• Cauliflower – 3 grams
• Broccoli – 4 grams

Fruits:

• Blackberries – 3.1 grams
• Tomatoes – 2.4 grams
• Raspberries – 3.3 grams
• Cantaloupe – 5.8 grams
• Strawberries – 4.7 grams
• Watermelon – 5.4 grams

Best Keto Dips For Veggies

Like I said earlier, it’s way more enjoyable to eat raw veggies with dips than it is to eat them alone. You can make your own keto dips at home.

But if you are pressed for time, these are the best keto-friendly dips you can buy at Walmart.

• Tahini – This thick sauce is made of ground sesame seeds. No sugar!
• Spinach Artichoke Dip – made with spinach and cheese, it only has 2 grams of net carbs per serving.
• Primal Kitchen Italian Vinaigrette – this incredible salad dressing has less than 1 gram of net carbs per serving and is made with avocado oil.
• Brianna’s Homestyle French Vinaigrette – Enjoy a creamy and flavorful salad dressing with zero carbs or sugars.
• Guacamole – get original flavors without any additional ingredients.

#2 Meat Snacks

When you are on the keto diet you know it’s all about low-carb, high-fat, and a focus on eating enough protein. Meat is an excellent source of protein. Eating the following snacks will keep you fuller longer and cut down on extra carbs too.

• Sugar-free deli meat. Look for oven-roasted turkey or sliced chicken breast.
• Turkey sausage jerky – Duke’s makes turkey jerky that only has less than 1 gram of carbs in each serving.
• Beef Sticks – Be careful which brands you buy, some have added sugars. But the SOGO beef sticks have 1 gram of carbs per stick.
• Prosciutto – It has the most divine and paper-thin texture with a bunch of salt for quenching cravings.

#3 Frozen Foods

I’ll be honest, the frozen foods section is a little more challenging for keto dieters like us. It’s filled with rows of waffles, french fries, and pasta.

But if you can avoid the temptation, there are a few brands out there making low-carb snacks you can eat without guilt.

Pick up one of these snacks:

• Frozen Shrimp – these make a quick and easy snack and thaw quickly.
• Cauliflower Fries – There are 15grams of net carbs in 8 fries, so keep an eye on your macros if you indulge in these.
• Real Good Pepperoni Pizza Snack Bites – Look for anything from “Real Good Foods.” They make their food low-carb and with whole ingredients.

#4 Salty Snacks

What do you do when the cravings for salty foods come up? Keep these staples on hand and they’ll hit the spot. As always, reach for foods with as few ingredients as possible.

• Dill Pickles
• Peanut or Nut Butter – Only choose sugar-free varieties
• Pork Rinds
• Raw nuts – be careful with nuts and eat them in moderation. They are an excellent source of healthy fats but could cause inflammation.
• Parm Crisps – These taste and feel like potato chips, but they are made out of parmesan cheese.
• Wholesome Provisions Protein Chips – They only have 4grams net carbs per serving and taste like potato chips.

#5 Sweet Snacks

On the flip side, sometimes your sweet tooth makes you think, “I could really go for a donut right now.” In those cases, you could make some donut holes fat bombs at home.

But if you are at Walmart, here are a few sweet low-carb snacks you can take on the go.

• SlimFast Keto Fat Bombs – There are 4g net carbs per cup and they taste just like candy.
• South Beach Diet Nut Bar – These have just 3g net carbs per bar.
• Atkins Blueberry Greek Yogurt Bars – Be careful and eat these in moderation, once in a while. They are sweetened with Malitol which could increase your blood sugar. There are 16g net carbs per bar, which could also take away from lots of your macros.

#6 Low-Carb Dairy Snacks

As long as there aren’t any sweeteners or added sugars, dairy snacks are a safe choice on keto. Lots of our fat bomb recipes are made with full-fat cream cheese.

Next time you are at Walmart, pick up some of these.

• String Cheese
• Deli Cheese
• Greek Yogurt (unsweetened)
• Laughing Cow Cheese Wedge
• Cottage Cheese Snack Cups

Don’t Be Fooled By These Terms

Now that you have an idea of what to put on your grocery list, let’s talk real quick about those confusing marketing terms.

As you are shopping, you’ll probably see some tempting foods with “sugar-free” or “grain-free” claims on them. Unfortunately, just because something says, “high-protein” doesn’t mean it is low-carb.

Always read the nutrition facts and the ingredients list before you buy pre-packaged food. If it is made with corn, flour, sugar, or anything like that, chances are it will be high in carbs and could screw up your macros.

Another trick snack companies do is to put the amount of net carbs per gram not per serving. For example, Quest protein cookies weigh in at 59 grams each. There are 19g net carbs per cookie. However, the box says there are 4g net carbs – but that’s per ounce, not per cookie.

Always compare the claims on the front to the actual nutrition facts on the back.
