3. Olives
Olives are the perfect keto snack or addition to any keto-friendly meal. They are a powerhouse when it comes to nutrition and they are tasty too. For me, they totally kick my cravings for salty, unhealthy snacks like potato chips (minus the crunch) Olives are high in vitamin E, fiber, and they provide anti-inflammatory properties and they can also prevent various diseases such as arthritis and osteoporosis. I like to stuff them with cheese or eat them plane.

Try a healthy, vegetarian twist on classic buffalo wings by swapping the chicken for fiber rich cauliflower.This is a really simple vegetarian alternative to chicken, give it a try!
To prepare this delicious treat, toss cauliflower florets with your favorite buffalo sauce and melted butter. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes or you can use an air fryer to make these.
Serve with your favorite blue cheese dressing and celery or carrot sticks.
6. Keto Stuffed Mushrooms
Mushrooms are readily available in most grocery stores and they super low in carbs, perfect for a keto snack, main meal or dinner recipe. Try roasting portobello mushrooms stuffed with bacon, cream cheese and parsley. Simple yet tasty.
7. Fermented Vegetables
Fermented vegetables like pickles are a great keto snack option.
Research suggests that eating fermented foods that contain beneficial bacteria may promote healthy digestive function and reduce your risk of diabetes and heart disease.
Fermented vegetables can be purchased or made at home.
You can ferment almost any type of vegetable, including:
- cabbage

Fat Bombs
“Fat bomb” is a term people on the keto diet coined to describe low carb, dessert-style energy bites that satisfy your sweet tooth.
Fat bombs are often made using coconut oil, nut butter, avocado, or cream cheese as the base. Other ingredients are added to create delicious flavor profiles.
Dark chocolate and peanut butter is a popular combination, but the possibilities are limitless.
