We all know Costco is the place to go for 48-count rolls of toilet paper and vodka ice pops, but the superstore can also keep you stocked up on all your keto diet necessities.
Before heading to the store, you might need a little keto refresher on all the foods you can and cannot eat (and a few tips for dealing with the dreaded keto flu), but don't worry about your list of snacks to buy. Load up the car and head to the nearest Costco so you can get these 13 healthy picks.
Jones Canadian Bacon Slices ($12) are the perfect size for snacking, and, because they are pre-cooked, you can eat them straight from the package.
Are crackers a carb? Well, yeah, pretty much. Luckily, Cello Parmesan Whisps ($12) are stepping in to fill the cracker-sized void in your life with plenty of cheesy, crispy goodness.
High-protein snacks, like Chef's Cut Smoked Beef Jerky ($17), can be a huge key to success on the keto diet because protein can help control hunger. We suggest tossing a few bags into your Costco-size cart.
Kerrygold Dubliner Cheese ($7) has quite the cult following and for good reason. Not only is it made from grass-fed cows, it has a sweet, nutty taste that is unique.
Costco is definitely known for its industrial-sized packages, so while delicious, these Kirkland Unsalted Mixed Nuts ($22) should last quite a while.
If you are looking for something cool and refreshing to snack on, this Azuma Gourmet Seaweed Salad ($13) will totally hit the spot.
Mini Babybel Cheese ($13) wheels are creamy, delicious, and lunchbox-friendly. What more could you ask for in a keto snack?
We aren't condoning tossing back handfuls of bacon at snack time, but these Kirkland Bacon Crumbles ($12) would pair well with a keto ranch dip and veggies sticks.
Nuttzo ($19) combines seven nuts and seeds with sea salt for a one-of-a-kind taste that really can't be compared with any other nut butter on the market.
Sabatino's Basil and Cracked Black Pepper Chicken Sausages ($17) do require a few minutes and a grill (or microwave) for preparation, but you've got to open your mind a bit when it comes to keto snacks.
You may not look at a giant jar of Kirkland Coconut Oil ($21) and think "snack time," but hear us out. There is actually a lot of anecdotal evidence from those on the keto diet that the healthy fats in a small spoonful of coconut oil can help curb cravings and hunger. If you're up for it, give it a try next time the after-dinner munchies hit.
Why choose just once cheese when you can choose four? The Cello Cheese Slices Variety Pack ($13) can add a little variety to your snack game, and it's large enough to share – if you're into that sort of thing.
Wild Planet Sardines ($12) are non-GMO and sustainably fished – pretty much the best of the best in the sardine game. If you've never tried these omega-3 and protein-rich little fish, you might start by mixing them into a salad before eating them straight from the tin.
