Keto-friendly Snacking

The keto diet gained serious momentum last year as more and more followers enjoyed benefits including weight loss, reduced inflammation and increased energy. If you're new to Keto, here's an overview.

As with every health regime, a little pre-planning can go a long way. Most of us tend to plan for the three main meals of the day, but planning for snacking is just as important since that’s when many of us are at our hungriest — and when we tend to fall off the health bandwagon.

Once you get a handle on keto's guidelines you won't need to overthink your snacking too much. At Lindsay we're surrounded by keto-friendly snacks every day. After all, a serving of medium black olives has just .5g net carbs, and 2 tablespoons of our super creamy almond butter has only 4g net carbs. 

For more ideas using our keto-friendly olives and almond butter, we partnered with chef and cookbook author Kate McMillan to share 10 irresistible ways to help satisfy your daily snack cravings.

Keto Snacks on the Go

Portable snacking
Pistachio Lemon Cheese Balls are scrumptious and easily transportable snacks to take on a hike, a picnic or to the beach. They are also fabulous and impressive for entertaining!

Workday cravings
When you're a busy, working adult, you're all too familiar with stealing quick snacks throughout the day (hey, we all have moments of boredom). Our new Kalamata and Pimiento Stuffed Spanish Manzanilla Snack and Go! Cups can get you through those cravings between meetings or that necessary afternoon pick-me-up — and even that inevitable late night snack!

Breakfast buddies
Keep a batch of egg muffins in the freezer. We love to make them with sliced black olives, fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese. These savory treats freeze really well and make for super satisfying, keto-friendly quick-breakfasts or snacks you can take with you.

Kids on the move
Kids are always on the go: soccer games, in the stroller, on weekend road trips. Don't forget that your keto-friendly snacks are also great for keeping your kids fueled up and happy! Our convenient Black Ripe Olives Snack and Go! Cups are ideal for a quick snack when your kids are on the move.

Keto fat bombs
High fat, low carb fat bombs are staples of the keto diet. And almond butter fat bombs are especially delicious. Plus, they're simple to make, travel well and are loaded with fat and protein to keep you feeling full. Grab one with our super creamy almond butter on your way out the door to the gym.

Keto Snacks at Home

Entertaining, keto-style
Looking for a unique, keto-friendly dip for entertaining? Make a delicious vinaigrette by whisking together 3 tablespoons each of almond butter, balsamic vinegar and warm water, and enjoy with carrot and jicama sticks. Your friends will love it.

Gourmet snacking at your fingertips
Pack small mason jars filled with this Greek Olive and Feta Bowl. These can sit at room temperature for hours and will satiate both your fat and salty cravings.

Pre-dinner nibbling
For a quick snack while you’re prepping dinner, fill half an avocado with sliced olives and halved cherry tomatoes, and dig in with a spoon. #Simple. #Yum.

Leftover love
Add a little keto to your leftovers! Make an Asian dipping sauce by using almond butter in place of the usual peanut butter. This is fantastic on leftover grilled vegetables from the previous night’s dinner, or drizzled over half an avocado.

Fuel your workouts
For a great pre- or post-exercise mini-meal, make a nourishing, keto-friendly smoothie with avocado, spinach, Honey Cinnamon Almond Butter, almond milk, lemon juice and ice.
