When you’re on a ketogenic diet (or “keto” diet), the temptation to give in to carbs and other non–keto-friendly snacks can be high—so it’s time to find you some new cravings. We have plenty of snack ideas for you to experiment with.

Let’s delve into some quick, tasty keto-friendly snacks for when hunger hits. 

10 low-carb snacks to treat yourself

1. Mixed nuts 

Surely, at some point in your life, you’ve heard the recommendation to carry nuts around with you in case you get hungry. This is great advice, especially if you’re on the keto diet because nuts are low carb but pack a punch. You can even make a trail mix with any combination of nuts you’d like—pecans, cashews, peanuts. It’s keto’s choice. Plus, they’re tasty and come in various flavors or seasonings, from spicy to sweet.

However you perceive this treat, it’s keto-friendly. Slice up your favorite mozzarella and layer it with tomato wheels and fresh basil leaves. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar over everything and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
