With the popularity of the keto diet on the rise, keto-approved items are getting easier and easier to find on grocery store shelves.

If there is still room in your cart after picking up all of the other amazingness it has to offer, here are 20 of our top keto picks from Target.
Market Pantry Cream Cheese
Cream cheese is a great vehicle for adding a little keto-friendly fat to your lunches and snacks. Spread it on deli meat to create a low-carb roll-up or on cucumber slices for a creamy, cool snack. Need a few more recipe ideas? Check out this full seven-day meal plan!
Green Giant Riced Cauliflower
If you've shed more than a few tears over the loss of your favorite starch, dry your eyes, pick up a bag of riced cauliflower, and fall in love with your favorite stir-fry all over again.
Organic Berries
While you do have to limit your fruit intake while following a keto diet, it's not totally off limits. As far as carbs go, berries are on the lower end of the spectrum. As long as you track your intake, adding a few berries to a big green salad or high-fat smoothie won't hinder your results.
Sir Kensington's Organic Mayonnaise
Sir Kensington's mayonnaise is not only keto-friendly, it is also made with high-quality ingredients like free-range eggs and organic oil and spices. Use it to make homemade dressing or these sweet and spicy deviled eggs.
Archer Farms Asparagus Spears
Just as with fruit, you'll want to avoid higher-carb veggies like sweet potatoes and potatoes on the keto diet. Luckily, asparagus spears are low-carb and can even easily be turned into tasty fries.
Simply Balanced Organic Eggs
Eggs (especially organic ones!) are a keto staple because they are high in protein and healthy fats. Sure, you could just scramble a few in your frying pan, but if you want to shake things up, each of these recipes feature eggs as the star of the show.
Let's Do Organic Creamed Coconut
Creamed coconut is super versatile and higher in fat than most other milk alternatives. This organic creamed coconut is perfect for a keto diet because it can be used for everything from sauces to smoothies to coffee creamer.
Pacific Organic Chicken Bone Broth
Keto isn't all fat all the time, digestive health and food quality are also a big focus. Bone broth is packed with nutrients and helps to keep your bones, joints, and gut healthy. Pacific's bone broth can be sipped just like a mug of tea or used in soups and stews.
Simply Balanced Organic Coconut Oil
If you aren't stockpiling coconut oil yet, what are you waiting for? Coconut oil is a high-fat oil that is great for cooking, baking, and even freshening your breath. We love an oil that can multitask!
Simply Balanced Almond Butter
As long as you don't eat the entire jar, almond butter provides a good balance of fats and protein for your keto snacking needs. Just watch out for added sugars and look for varieties that are only made with almonds and maybe a little oil or salt.
Simply Balanced Alaskan Sockeye Salmon
Fatty fish is where it's at when it comes to keto-approved seafood. These salmon fillets are frozen and ready to be cooked alongside your favorite green veggies.
Kerrygold Irish Butter
Kerrygold is the gold standard when it comes to butter, thanks to the pastured cow's milk it is made from. Use it for cooking, baking, or bulletproof coffee.
Hershey’s Cocoa
If you need a taste of chocolate while on the keto diet, you'll want to get it from 100 percent cocoa. It packs a rich chocolate flavor with zero grams of sugar. We recommend a warm mug of keto hot cocoa!
Simply Balanced Organic Grassfed Ground Beef
Ground beef is a popular food on keto plates because it provides both fat and protein. This grassfed ground beef gets extra points for its high quality. Use it for everything from low-carb tacos to meatloaf!
Market Pantry Pecan Halves
Pecans top the list of keto-friendly nuts because of their low level of net carbs (which you want to keep super-low on keto). Top your salad with a handful or whip up a homemade pecan butter.
Califia Farms Pure Black Cold Brew Coffee
You may have to part ways with your favorite creamer while on keto, but at least you don't have to give up your coffee (whew). This cold brew is bottled up and ready to go when you need a jump-start on those especially bleary-eyed mornings.
Applegate Naturals No Sugar Added Bacon
While most diets shy away from bacon, keto fully embraces this delicious, fatty meat. Don't question it, just go with it . . . and then make this bacon guacamole.
Wholly Avocado Minis
While not usually thought of as a fruit, avocado is actually the healthiest fruit you can put on your plate as part of a keto diet. These single-serve packs ensure you won't leave any half-eaten avocados to go bad in the back of the fridge.
Eggland’s Best Hard Cooked Peeled Eggs
In the perfect world, your fridge would always be packed with healthy, homemade keto snacks. If you're like most of us, though, that perfect world thing might not pan out as planned. Having these ready-to-go hard cooked eggs on hand is the next best thing.
