This new SKU from the just-add-water pancake and waffle makers at Birch Benders features a keto-friendly blend of almond flour, tigernut flour and organic coconut flour. Notably, this line is unsweetened, and contains 5 grams of dietary fiber and 9 grams of protein, making them a delicious alternative to traditional sugar-laden flapjacks. Hold the maple syrup to maintain the keto distinction (but do add a thick slice of butter).
This low-carb snack is comprised of one, unabashedly ketogenic ingredient: aged cheddar! The aptly named company Just The Cheese toasts cheddar chunks to a golden brown, making for a crunchy, salty and satisfying nosh.
If you’re craving something to satisfy your sweet tooth, Fat Snax hits the spot. Each two-cookie pack is made with a low-carb blend of almond flour, butter, eggs and a medley of no-calorie sweeteners such as non-GMO erythritol, xylitol and stevia. Lemon oil and lemon zest add a bright pop of citrusy flavor.
Koia ’s keto version of their nondairy protein beverage is a 270-calorie fat bomb! 22 grams of fat (20 of which is saturated—an admirable attribute to keto followers) are inside this single-serving beverage. Coconut milk, MCT oil, a protein blend derived from brown rice, pea and chickpea, chicory root fiber and more make for a whole-food beverage. Monk fruit adds a touch of sweetness, natural cake batter flavoring adds a bit of fun.
Condiments are loaded with crazy levels of sugar and additives such as gums and thickeners. That’s why we’re obsessed with Primal Kitchen, a paleo-focused brand that focuses on using high-quality, organic ingredients and expert formulations to coax out flavor. Just 2 grams of carbohydrates per serving.
Made with a no-sugar-added blend of coconut butter, almonds, cacao, macadamia nuts, cinnamon and pink Himalayan salt, this handy nut butter pouch features 22 grams of fats, 5 grams of protein and just 3 net carbs. Keep it in your bag when you’re pining for 240 quick-to-consume keto calories.

The frenzy over fat seems to have reached a tipping point in mainstream culture. What initially gained popularity among ultra-athletes training their bodies to burn fat instead of glycogen became a nationwide specialty diet with followers ranging from California to New York City, and many places in-between. Celebrities experimenting with the diet have certainly accelerated its growth, as have the explosion of keto-friendly products that contain fewer than 5 grams of net carbs (or fewer), no sugar and higher levels of fat and protein.
Here’s just a small peek at the keto innovation occurring across food and beverage categories.
