Whether you’ve been on the Ketogenic diet for a while now or are new to it, you’ve likely struggled with snacks.
Main meals – breakfast, lunch, and dinner – seem to be easier to figure out, but snacks are often eaten on-the-go and it’s not until you’re hangry that you realize you need something low-carb to snack on. These sweet, salty, and everything in between snacks will help squash your cravings and fuel you with healthy fats that will keep you satisfied until your next meal.
We’ve tried not to overrun this list with fat bombs (even though they’re great!), but if that’s more your style check out these Fat Bomb Recipes To Fuel You On a Keto Diet.

Rhiannon loves to cook and bake but has also never said "no" to a takeout burrito (see, she's just like you!). Despite slowly running out of room in her cabinets, she continues to expand her collections of cookbooks and kitchen gadgets and is deeply jealous of people who can just "whip something up" without a recipe.
