]]> The Keto diet is a popular option these days, virtually eliminating carbohydrates and sugars from consumption in an eating plan that truly works great for many people.

Snacking can be tough on a Keto diet, but these options are great for an afternoon pick-me-up while you’re at work or at school.

Almonds

Almonds are rich in calories via their high content of healthy fats and proteins, containing minimal carbohydrates. I love popping a handful of almonds in my mouth when I need a bit of energy, making it one of my top options.

Beef Jerky

Beef jerky is another protein-rich option that contains zero carbohydrates. Snacking on just a couple of pieces of this popular dried meat option gets my stomach satisfied and takes away any afternoon blues I might be feeling.

Celery and Nut Butter

If you can make your own nut butter using peanuts, almonds, or any other option you might like at home without extra sugar—or if you can find it at the grocery store—I love the boost this snack gives me when eaten on just a small piece of celery.

]]> When you first decide to go keto it may seem impossible, but thanks to many people willing to share their ideas and recipes online it’s never been easier to follow this lifestyle if that’s what you want. One thing most people miss when they start eating according to the keto principles are baked goods, and if you pick these low-carb flour alternatives you won’t miss them at all!

Almond Flour

Almond flour is perfect for making all kinds of baked goods, gravy, or pretty much anything that requires all-purpose flour. It’s made from blanched almonds and it’s high in healthy fats, magnesium, and Vitamin E.

Chickpea Flour

Chickpea flour definitely contains carbohydrates, but it’s still well-balanced and has plenty of nutrients and fiber. It’s best used in savory recipes.
