22 Best High Protein Keto Snacks
From sweet to savory. From on the go to more labor-intensive. From high protein low carb foods to high protein low carb low fat snacks, this list has got you covered! Get ready to be blown away!
Here are the 22 best High Protein keto Snacks:
1. Keto Egg Muffins
Keto egg muffins are so tasty and easy to meal prep! They’re ultra cheesy, protein packed gems that take less than an hour to make! I have three different ways to make egg muffins: bacon and cheddar, fajita, and veggies.
They’re all made with the same base of eggs and heavy cream, but by switching up the filling, you can keep things exciting! For meaty options, you can choose bacon and cheddar or fajita. But no worries if you want the veggie muffins—the egg base means you’ll still get plenty of protein to keep you full.
Each of the flavors are totally scrumptious and worth savoring!
2. Ham Roll Ups
Ready in 15 minutes, ham roll ups are crazy addicting! Made with smoked ham, cream cheese, chives, and cornichons, you’ll fall in love with this keto friendly snack and appetizer.
Pick up those toothpicks and enjoy this super adorable, crunchy snack!
3. Cucumbers Subs
Cucumbers Subs are here to answer all your low carb prayers! You can enjoy subway style sandwiches that are just as tasty (but way fewer carbs) by using my recipe! I have four yummy variations for you:
- Italian, including red onions, salami, pepperoncini
- “Californian,” with avocado, sprouts, and Swiss cheese
- Meat Lover’s, including roast beef, ham, and turkey
- Lox, made with smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, and red onion
4. Cheese Crackers
Cheese crackers are out of this world tasty, and they’re super easy to whip up! Crispy and cheesy, these crackers will quickly become one of your healthy everyday snacks.
5. Classic Deviled Eggs
6. Parmesan Crisps
Parmesan crisps are so delightfully crunchy and satisfying! I use Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel seasoning to perfect the flavors of this recipe.
7. Keto Deviled Eggs
How do you make an amazing recipe even better? Add bacon, of course!
Keto Deviled Eggs have crispy bits of delicious bacon in every bite! Not only does it taste incredible, but you also get an extra oomph of protein!
Pantry Snacks
High protein low carb snacks that don’t need to be refrigerated are AWESOME to stash in your purse, at your desk, or in your car for emergencies. Here are some of my faves:
8. Keto Peanut Butter
Keto peanut butter is a must in any snack pantry! The nutty, creamy goodness pairs well with almost anything, and it’s a great source of protein! What’s not to love?
Some peanut butter brands are filled with added sugar, so check out my list of recs.
2 Tablespoons:
- 7g protein
- 6g carbs
- 5g net carbs
9. Canned Tuna
Tuna is packed with protein to keep you satisfied!
It’s also easy to snack on. Throw it together with some low carb bread, make lettuce wraps, enjoy it with celery, or eat it straight from the can.
1 Can Drained:

- 0g net carbs
10. Keto Jerky
There’s no better way to stave off hunger than with some keto jerky — however, most brands are LOADED with sugar and carbs. So check your labels and buy right!
Psst — I find it’s easiest to grab low carb variations on Amazon.

11. Protein Chips
These bad boys come in a handful of different flavors (BBQ, nacho cheese, sour cream and onion, etc.) and they’re extremely convenient to eat/curb those crunchy cravings.

I’ve only been able to find these on Amazon, finger crossed they’ll start carrying them in stores soon!

12. Keto Nuts
Keto nuts are a no brainer when it comes to high protein low carb snacks!

It’s important to find a brand of protein powder that you enjoy as not all protein powders are created equal in taste/texture. My fave is Dymatize ISO 100 Whey Protein in vanilla.

15. Meat Sticks
Meat sticks are the perfect high protein snack for busy people! They’re easy to keep on hand for portable snacks to curb the hunger pangs.

16. Keto Bars
There are lots of tasty high protein options for keto bars out there, but many of them are loaded with carbs and sugar.
If HIGH PROTEIN is your goal, check out these Power Crunch bars. Their taste, texture, and macros get an A+ in my book! My favorite flavors are “Salted Caramel”, “Vanilla”, and “Very Berry”.
If keto is your goal (higher in fat with less protein), some of the keto varieties may better fit your eating plan.

- 14g protein
- 8g carbs
- 7g net carbs
Refrigerated Snacks
A little less convenient for those of us running around all the time, but just as delicious! Check out these crazy good high protein low carb snacks to stash in the fridge:
