Every time I go to Costco, the store is always running low on bags of this salty snack—and with good reason. These keto-friendly baked cheese crisps are so delightfully crunchy and savory that it’s difficult to tear yourself away from the bag before downing it in one sitting.

They come in several flavors now: there's parmesan cheese, cheddar, tangy ranch, barbecue, nacho, tomato basil, and a spicy asiago and pepper jack.

I also love to sprinkle them over tomato soup. It's the perfect alternative to a carb-y bag of potato chips.

What is it about eating almonds as a snack that makes you feel suddenly healthier than you've ever been? Blue Diamond makes it easy with its range of flavored almonds.

For the purists out there, there’s whole natural almonds.

To satisfy a sweet tooth, try the honey roasted. My personal favorite is wasabi, which packs a spicy sinus-clearing punch, and there’s also salt and vinegar flavor—if you're into that sharp and tangy flavor.

Whatever the craving, Blue Diamond almonds are low-carb and high-flavor, so it’s a win-win snacking situation.

You can also incorporate Blue Diamond almonds to your meal by tossing a few into a salad or preparing a keto-friendly trail mix.

Laughing Cow cheese makes keto snacking so easy.

The luscious, creamy triangles of cheese are already conveniently portioned out for you, and you can’t help but smile looking at their grinning cow mascot wearing cheese wheel earrings.

Mauna Loa macadamia nuts are so buttery and creamy that it’s easy to forget you’re snacking on a bunch of nuts.

The best part about Mauna Loa is that you can choose for a range of flavors; from Maui garlic and onion to honey roasted to original salted.

Dang, these coconut chips are good (I’m so sorry).

There’s also the original flavor which is unbeatable in its delicious simplicity.

All I know is that if your Thai mom’s recipe is the inspiration behind your snack—like Dang’s is—it’s bound to be good.

I'd dip this in scoops of peanut butter, top it on keto-friendly ice cream, or add the salted version to a salad for an element of crunch.

For cheddar

Moon Cheese comes in a variety of flavors: gouda, cheddar, white cheddar with black pepper, pepper jack, cheddar bacon, and garlic parmesan—for gluten free, low-carb snacking.

They're not quite as crispy as the Whisps. Instead, they're a bit squeakier; the texture is crunchy with a bit of bounce.

Moon Cheese would be perfect in a bowl of tomato soup.

For classic almond butter

Justin’s Nut Butter makes it easy with their prepackaged portions, crafted with all your beloved nuts like peanuts, almonds, and cashews.

Squeeze your choice favorite on to a celery stick for the best throwback snack, top apple slices with almond butter and a sprinkling of cinnamon for a dessert-like treat, or just directly spoon the nut butter directly into your mouth because sometimes that's the ideal snack.

I don’t miss potato chips or tortilla chips if I have a jug of pork rinds in front of me.

Whatever the craving, sweet or savory, meaty or nutty, here are some go-to treats that are keto-friendly for when you’re having a snack attack.
