Even when we’re trying and sometimes—against all odds—succeeding to keep breakfast, lunch, and dinner healthy, snacks provide little bursts of food fun throughout the day. Mini indulgences to look forward to and keep serotonin flowing without giving away the farm. We love snacks. We need snacks. In fact, do you have any snacks on you now and could I maybe have some?

With so many popular forms of a low-carb diet (keto, paleo, Atkins, etc.), food brands have been working hard to deliver those fun food indulgences with fewer carbs than the classic bag of potato chips, crackers or cookies. With so many new keto snacks out there—some good and some decidedly not so—and with more coming to market every week, we tested a slew of new low-carb snacks.
Here are our favorites.
Flock Rotisserie Chicken Chips (8-pack), $24 on Flock
Flock Chips
We’ve written about these full-flavored wisps of rotisserie chicken skin goodness before, and that’s because they are damn delicious. Be warned, these aren’t a low-calorie snack by any stretch but if you’re trying to trim carbs and keep all of the flavor, Flock is it. Read our full review here.Buy Now

High-Key Chocolate Chip Cookies (3-pack), $13.97 on Amazon
High-Key
Cookies are one of the tougher low-carb snacks to pull off. Part of me wants to say, if you’re going to have a cookie, just have a cookie but if it’s really a keto version you covet, my vote goes to High Key’s keto chocolate chip cookies. I would compare them to Famous Amos with a more buttery flavor and not quite as much crunch. But with just one gram of net carbs, they still taste better than Chips Ahoy.Buy Now

Magic Spoon
This keto-friendly cereal brings us right back to the cartoon-filled Sunday mornings of yore, with fun flavors like Fruity (think Froot Loops), Cocoa, Blueberry, and Frosted.

Garlickin’ Parmesan Moon Cheese (3-pack), $14.99 on Amazon
Moon Cheese
I’ve often wondered what it would be like to straight-up bite into a block of parmesan. It probably wouldn’t work out as well as I hope, but the next best thing may be these keto-friendly Moon Cheese bites. The garlic parmesan flavor reigns supreme (in my opinion) and at just two net carbs per bag they definitely won’t bust up your keto-mentum.Buy Now

Bai Nariño Peach Tea (12-pack), $23.76 on Amazon
Bai
Is a drink a snack? We may never know, but Bai’s line of low-cal, low-carb fruity drinks has been growing by the year. There are a few flavors, sweetened with Bai’s on-the-money blend of stevia and erythritol, that I’ve come to love—but the teas, and especially the new(ish) Nariño Peach Tea tops my list. Perfect for those thirsty “mornings after” or when I just can’t down another can of seltzer. Buy Now
