4 Nuts to Look for in Your Next Keto Snack Bars

When you’re following a low-carb or keto eating plan, you need snacks that fit your macros and won’t kick you out of ketosis. Sometimes, you have time to prep a bunch of homemade keto snacks to eat throughout the week. But—let’s be real—more often than not, you find yourself craving a delicious keto snack bar.

So, maybe you head to the grocery store, find the keto snacks, and—surprise, surprise—you check the label. You notice a pattern—there are a whole lot of nuts!

You think to yourself, “What’s so great about nuts? Why are they in every great-tasting keto bar?” You’re about to find out.

Almonds

Almonds are a tasty source of high-quality nutrition. They’re full of nutritious fats, low in carbohydrates, and they have a great amount of protein. The carbs found in almonds come mostly from fiber, so they can even support your digestion.

They don’t call this mighty nut a superfood for nothing!

Coconut

Is it a fruit? Is it a nut? Is it a seed? What is a coconut? It’s a fibrous one-seeded drupe fruit. So, technically, it’s all of the above (bet you didn’t think it was actually a seed). Coconut is high in fat, but it’s nourishing fat that can help your body absorb certain vitamins more easily. Plus, it tastes yummy, so when it comes to eating keto, this fruit-nut-seed has plenty to offer.

Any keto snack bar with coconut is going to be a flavor you go coco-nuts over.

Peanuts

Peanuts have a similar nutrition profile to other tree nuts, but what do you know—they’re not actually a nut! Maybe you already knew that.

Peanuts are a low-carb legume, which might be why they sometimes get a bad rap in the keto world. The truth is, there’s only about a one-gram carb variance between peanuts and almonds, and they have similar fiber content, so peanuts are a great keto snack option. Peanuts and peanut butter also provide your body with potassium, folate, vitamin E, and magnesium.

Let’s hear it for all the keto peanut fans! Woohoo!

Pecans

Pecans are a fun nut. Your grandma could probably talk about butter pecan ice cream all day, but as someone following a keto eating plan, you need a more wholesome snack to fuel yourself through the day. Pecans are so low-carb—only one net carb—and they have all the fiber, all the time.

Maple pecan lovers rejoice! You can find maple pecan flavored keto bars that are so delicious they’ll give your grandma’s butter pecan ice cream a run for its money.

What’s the Catch? There Is None.

Nuts and seeds can be misunderstood because they’re considered a high-calorie food. However, these tasty snacks definitely have a place in a keto diet. Those calories equal energy and nutrition. Nuts are low-carb, high-fat, and full of nutrients. Plus, yummy keto snack bars use nuts and seeds as their primary ingredients and still sit at only about 150 calories per bar. It’s the perfect amount of fuel to keep you feeling energized between meals!

You can find low-carb keto bars made with a ton of wholesome ingredients, including all of the nuts listed above. Plus, because the bars are keto, you can avoid added sugars and high-intensity sweeteners. Simply enjoy the great-tasting ingredients from nature.
