KETO & LOW CARB CRUNCHY SNACKS
Here is our round-up of the best store-bought low-carb and keto crunchy snacks!
Quest Tortilla Protein Chip or Hilo Life Tortilla Style Chips
Quest and Hilo Life are two of the best tasting tortilla-style chips on the market right now. Both are fashioned after Doritos and are somewhat similar in terms of taste and texture (click here for a detailed review of each). Many grocers now sell both of these brands, so they're somewhat easy to find and, of course, you can always purchase them on Amazon.

PORK RINDS
Pork rinds are a tasty zero-carb snack when you're looking for something crunchy and salty. Pork rinds are made of pig skin, which is boiled, dried, and deep fried. They're crispy, puff-like chips that are salty and somewhat meaty in flavor. Our favorite brand is 4505 Chicharrones Pork Rinds, which is keto-certified and uses humanely-raised, all-natural pork with no added hormones or antibiotics. Our favorite flavor is the Jalapeno Cheddar, which is slightly spicy with a subtle cheddar flavor.

CHEESE CRISPS
If you love cheese, then cheese crisps are an ideal keto crunchy snack. That’s because cheese crisps are simply made with cheese, which is baked until light and crispy. Two of the most popular cheese crisps on the market are Whisps and Parm Crisps. In terms of flavor and texture, we prefer Whisps since they're lighter and more airy in texture than Parm Crisps.
Net carbs: 1 grams (1 total carbs, 0 fiber) per serving
Calories: 150 calories per serving
Protein: 13 grams per serving
Fat: 10 grams per serving
Ingredients: parmesan cheese (pasteurized part-skimmed cow's milk, cheese cultures, sea salt, enzymes).
SOLA MAPLE PECAN CHOCOLATE GRANOLA
Sola Maple Pecan Chocolate Granola is one of the tastiest keto granolas on the market. It's full of sweet and crunchy nuts with bits of chocolate. This crunchy, keto-friendly snack is high in protein (14 grams) and low in carbs (4 grams of net carbs). You can find it at many large supermarkets like Kroger or online. Most of the ingredients are keto-friendly with the exception of maltitol, which is apparently minimal in amount, anywhere from 0.5 to 4 grams per serving.

HIGHKEY COOKIES
HighKey Mini Cookies are crispy, crunchy cookies that come in a variety of flavors like chocolate chip, vanilla wafer, snickerdoodle and brownie bites. They're one of the best low-carb and keto-friendly cookies on the market. Most larger grocers now carry these cookies including Target, Kroger, and Costco. The ingredients for the Chocolate Chip Mini Cookies are low-carb and keto-friendly.

CATALINA CRUNCH MIX KETO HEALTHY SNACK MIX
If you love Chex Mix, then you'll likely enjoy the taste of Catalina Crunch's low-carb and keto-friendly snack mix, which comes in a variety of flavors (like cheddar, creamy ranch, traditional and spicy kick). The mixes are made with a combination of nuts, chickpea pretzels and Catalina Crunch Cereal. Our favorite flavor is cheddar, which tastes similar to cheddar Chex Mix. The ingredients do include some not-so-friendly keto ingredients like tapioca starch, potato fiber, chickpea flour, etc. Therefore, if you're following a strict keto diet, then you may want to pass up.
Catalina Crunch Mix Cheddar Keto Snack Mix

- Calories: 120 calories
- Protein: 8 grams

COOKIES & CREAM SANDWICH COOKIES
Crunchy cookies that taste similar to Oreos? Yes, please! We recently tried other low-carb cookies & cream sandwich cookies and these Rip Van Leos were our favorite. They are sweetened with a little regular sugar (along with with allulose and stevia), but are still rather low in net carbs (5 net carbs per 2 cookies) per serving. However, if you follow a strict keto diet, then you may want to pass up. Another tasty alternative is Catalina Crunch's Chocolate Vanilla Sandwich Cookies.
Rip Van LEOs - Cookies and Cream Sandwich Cookies

- Calories: 100 calories

DRY ROASTED EDAMAME
We love these crunchy dry roasted edamame snacks since they're healthy, high in fiber (9 grams per serving), low in carbs (7 grams per serving) and high in protein (20 grams per serving). And if you love a little wasabi kick, then you'll likely love these (or you can get the sea salt flavor if you prefer). Plus, they're made with just 3 simple ingredients: soybeans, sea salt and wasabi powder. Please note that since edamame is legume, you may want to pass these up if you follow a strict keto diet.
Seapoint Farms Wasabi Dry Roasted Edamame
- Net carbs: 7 grams net carbs (16 grams total carbs, 9 grams fiber) per serving
- Calories: 200 calories
- Protein: 20 grams

PICKLE SNACK PACKS
Pickles are now sold in snack packs and can be a good keto snack if you're craving something salty and crunchy. You can typically find pickle snack packs at grocers, like these SuckerPunch pickle chips. The above flavor is classic dill and it's only 2 grams of net carbs and 10 calories. Not all flavors are low in carbs, though. For example, SuckerPunch sells a bread and butter flavor, which has 9 grams of net carbs (not really keto friendly). Just be sure to always check the net carbs whenever you buy seasoned or flavored pickles.
SuckerPunch Classic Dill Chip-Cut
- Net carbs: 2 grams net carbs (2 grams total carbs, 0 grams fiber) per serving
- Calories: 10 calories
- Protein: 0 grams
- Fat: 0 grams

SEAWEED SNACKS
We love these wasabi seaweed snacks from Annie Chun as a replacement for chips. They're light and crispy, and the wasabi adds a punch of flavor. They're a healthy, crunchy snack that comes without the guilt. Each serving is only 1 gram of net carbs and just 20 calories. They also come in sea salt flavor.

NUTS
Nuts are another good snack option if you're looking for something salty and crunchy. Some considerations include almonds, macadamia nuts, pecans, sunflower seeds and walnuts. Blue Diamond sells a variety of seasoned almonds packs. These Blue Diamond lightly salted almonds are only 1 gram of net carbs per serving.
Just be cautious when selecting flavored or seasoned nuts as some may contain sugar or other ingredients that aren't so keto friendly. To be sure, always check the net carbs on the nutrition label.

Calories: 100 calories
Protein: 4 grams

VEGGIE SNACK TRAY
Most grocers now sell smaller take-and-go veggie snack trays, which typically include a combination fresh cut veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, celery, carrots or grape tomatoes. Carrots and tomatoes are higher in carbs, so if these are included, you may want to eat in moderation. These packs typically include a ranch dressing for dipping, which is also fairly low in carbs.
Celery, 1 cup: 1 gram net carbs
Raw broccoli, 1 cup: 3.5 grams net carbs
Raw cauliflower, 1 cup: 3 net carbs
5 Raw grape tomatoes: 2 net carbs
Raw carrots, 1 cup: 7 grams net carbs
Ranch dressing, 2 tablespoons: 1 gram net carbs (estimate)
JULIAN BAKERY PRIMAL THIN CRACKERS
If you're looking for crackers and cheese, then one of the crispiest crackers you can get are these Primal Thin Crackers by Julian Bakery. They’re light, thin, crispy crackers that pair well with cheese and/or dips. They have a natural, earthy taste, which is mainly flavored by toasted flax seeds. The ingredients aren't entirely ideal due to the inclusion of tapioca flour. However, tapioca flour is lower in the list of ingredients (4th ingredient) and therefore lower in amount. That said, if you’re strict keto, then you may want to pass these up.
- Net carbs: 3 grams (5 total carbs, 2 fiber) per serving
- Calories: 70 calories per serving
- Protein: 3 grams per serving
- Fat: 4.5 grams per serving
- Ingredients: Organic parmesan cheese, organic flax seeds, Water, Organic tapioca flour, organic sesame seeds, organic chia seeds, seat salt.
