Changing your diet and the foods you keep around the house becomes much more complicated once you have kids, whose main food groups are bread, chicken nuggets, and fruit snacks. If you're currently on the keto diet — whether alone or with your partner — keeping nonketo food in the house is definitely tempting (we always want what we can't have!). Although it's not recommended that you put your kids on the keto diet with you, there are plenty of snacks that are both kid- and keto-friendly that the whole family can enjoy.

Sure, you'll probably still have the nonketo kid stuff around to ensure your kids are getting all the nutrients they need, but putting these keto snacks at the front of the cupboard means you'll be a lot less tempted to eat Goldfish crackers out of your kids' snack cups.
