6 keto-friendly snacks to take on the road

FatSnax

The keto diet is a high-fat, low-carb diet plan that has celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian, Al Roker, Alicia Vikander and Halle Berry swearing by the results.

If you’re one of the many people who also use keto to slim down or control your blood sugar, you’re likely aware of the fact that eating keto requires a great deal of planning and meal prep. As such, eating keto on the road is no easy feat. Unlike other diet plans, such as Whole30 or Weight Watchers, there are few friendly keto options available at airports, gas stations or fast-casual dining spots. So what can you do when you’re on the road?

“Load up the car with snacks — like low glycemic berries, hard-boiled eggs or almond butter with celery or nuts — to maintain regulated blood sugar and help digestion,” Atkins on-site nutritionist Colette Heimowitz advises Simplemost. “If you grab a bag of beef jerky for your road trip, keep an eye on the sugar content. Some jerky has a surprising amount of sugar added.”

In addition, there are many keto-friendly snacks that are easy to toss into your bag when you’re traveling. Here are some of the best new keto-on-the-go options:

1. Fat Snax Cookies

Stuck waiting for a delayed flight and feeling hangry? Reach for Fat Snax cookies. These keto-approved, soft-baked cookies are low in carbs and filled with healthy fats. They come in a variety of flavors like chocolate chip, lemon and peanut butter. Order from Fat Snax or Amazon and keep your inner Cookie Monster satisfied.

2. Love Good Fats

Forget granola bars. If you’re on the keto diet, you need a low-carb, high-fat meal bar like Love Good Fats. These bars come in delicious flavors like peanut butter chocolatey, coconut chocolate chip, mint chocolate chip and rich chocolatey almond. With just 4–5 net carbs per serving, these are great for road trips, camping, flights or even just to slip into your gym bag. Find them on Amazon or on their website.

3. Atkins

Saying no to delicious gas station snacks like candy and chips will be easy if you have Atkins snacks in your bag. While the Atkins diet and the keto diet are a bit different (there is no limit on the protein you can have on Atkins, for instance), many of the snacks and meals from the Atkins brand will meet your low-carb requirements on keto. These yummy chocolate candies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth, plus they have just 1 net carb.

4. FBOMB

FBOMB is a funny-sounding company that offers a wide variety of on-the-go keto options, from high-fat macadamia nut butter to cheese crisps to pork sticks to MCT oil. Their nut butters are perfect for eating on the go, as they’re single-serving and have an easy-open tear purposely created for you to squeeze directly into your mouth!

5. ZonePerfect Keto

Keto requires a good deal of meal prep, but sometimes you just don’t have time to plan ahead, especially when traveling. That’s why meal-replacement shakes like these keto-friendly options from ZonePerfect Keto are a must-buy. These drinks are made with 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% total carbs, which is ideal for helping you stay in ketosis, even if you’re on the road.
