15 Best Keto Products For Weight Loss, According to a Nutritionist

One of the most versatile foods for keto dieters is a good nut butter. Breakfast, lunch, snack, dessert, whatever...nut butter is there for you with a solid serving of healthy fat. Koens prefers the Justin’s brand for its simple ingredients and travel-friendly single-serving packets. (You can also shop their almond butter variety.)

“In general, it’s important not to fall into the trap of a product claiming to be keto just because it’s high in fat,” says Koens. “You have to look at where that fat is coming from, whether it’s healthy or not.” Nuts? Definitely, yes.

No matter how many carbs you’re allowing yourself on your personal version of keto, one thing’s for sure: You need protein, and lots of it. Beef jerky is a great way to score protein points on keto, says Koens, and the Chomps brand offers up a whopping 9 grams per serving alongside its clean ingredient list and 1,000+ positive Amazon reviews.

Koens says that cheese crisps are one of the most popular snacking options for keto dieters because they offer crunch without all the carbs. Amazon reviewers love these crisps from Just The Cheese, which are made with only cheese and come in four different flavors, including aged cheddar and jalapeño.

Sick of being painfully aware that you’re not eating real pasta every time you chow down on a bowl of zoodles? Try shirataki noodles, a.k.a. those thin, translucent Asian noodles made from plant-based fiber (they’re sometimes called “Miracle Noodles” for what I think are obvious reasons).

“They’re a really great low-carb, low-cal pasta replacement,” says Koens, who recommends using Profile Sanford’s own brand of shirataki noodles in stir-fry or Italian dishes.

When it comes to eating dairy on keto, Koens says you need to focus on products with polyunsaturated fats, like Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. (You’ll also get a good boost of protein this way, FYI.)

But if you think cottage cheese is boring, think again: Hood offers a variety of flavor profiles, from sweet with pineapple or strawberry to savory with chives or garden veggies. You can get even get the plain variety in a cute little snack cup, just waiting to be tucked into your lunchbox for work.

Is there a more reliable diet snack staple than preportioned packets of nuts? Koens recommends finding ones with almonds in them, since they fall relatively low on the carb scale (at 9 grams of carbs per serving) and offer a hefty amount of fiber, protein, and healthy fats. Try the Planters variety if you also love cashews and macadamia nuts.

I know your mornings are super busy and you don’t always have time to whip up a crustless sausage, egg, and cheese frittata (you slacker). This hot cereal from HighKey Snacks is a winning compromise: It’ll warm you up while filling you up—it’s got 9 grams of protein!—and only 1 gram of net carbs. It’s also one of the highest-rated keto breakfast options on Amazon, with more than 1,000 glowing reviews.

Sadly, RXBar's OG protein bars have too many carbs to be considered keto-friendly. Their nut butters, luckily, are a different story. This almond butter has an extra dose of protein, courtesy one egg white, a touch of sweetness (thanks to half a date), and zero unwanted ingredients.  

Let’s be honest, you’re tossing a lot of your favorite sandwich fillings on top of leafy greens since bread is off-limits, right? That’s cool, but it might also mean you’re accidentally loading up on hidden unhealthy ingredients in all those pre-made salad dressings. 

Koens says to look for dressings that are low in sugar and oil-based (remember those polyunsaturated fats?), like this Greek/Ranch/Honey Mustard three-pack from keto go-to Primal Kitchen.

The keto diet requires quality lean protein, and a prepackaged serving of wild-caught tuna is a perfect way to fill up at lunch without the carbs. The StarKist brand will net you 15 whole grams of protein plus omega-3s, all in a variety of fun flavors, like lemon pepper and hickory-smoked.

It wouldn't be a keto-product roundup without a keto-friendly protein powder, and there’s no shortage of options if smoothies, coffee shakes, or homemade baked goods are your thing. But the Vital Proteins brand of collagen peptides is a tireless favorite of keto dieters, blending easily into pretty much everything and offering 18 grams of protein per serving.

Psst...Not all cauliflower crusts are created equal. Cali'flour Foods' tops the rest when it comes to keto products, thanks to only 4 grams of net carbs, 8 grams of protein per serving, and (very) minimal ingredients. Use it as a base for a cheesy, meat-covered, keto-tastic pizza.

MCT oil is full of fatty acids from coconuts, making it a classic keto product to help you stay in ketosis. Add this oil to coffee, salad dressings, smoothies, anything—with virtually no taste, you'll hardly notice it.

"Nutrition" bars can be tough to navigate—they tend to be packed with hidden sugars and other ingredients that can actually thwart your progress on the keto diet. The appropriately named Fattbar is about as clean as it gets, with 1 gram of net carbs and an ingredient list that includes chicory root, nuts, water, ground coffee (for this particular flavor), and inulin (a type of plant fiber). 

Keto might mean eating lots of meat, but don't forget about fish! Salmon jerky is an easy way to get in those healthy fatty acids—and this brand uses significantly less sodium than you might find in other pouches. And tbh, it actually tastes good—not fishy at all.
