10 Best Keto Foods – A Grocery Shopping List Of Top 10 of the BEST Low Carb Essentials and how to include them in a ketogenic meal plan.
10 Best Keto Foods
By mixing and matching these 10 best keto foods you’ll see that following a low carb meal plan doesn’t have to be complicated.
These are my go to foods that I always have to hand in my pantry and fridge to be able to easily create keto meals without any stress.
Top 10 Best Keto Foods
Here’s the full list of my top keto foods and loads of ways to incorporate them into meals.
1. Full Fat Dairy – Best Keto Foods
Rather than list the dairy separately (which could warrant it’s very own 10 best keto foods post) I’ve grouped low carb, high fat dairy together into an essential group of ingredients to keep to hand.
At any moment I have a selection of high fat dairy options to incorporate into meals. Here are some my favorites:
- Butter
- Cheese
- Cream
- Cream Cheese
- Sour Cream
- Mascarpone
- Ricotta
2. Eggs
I start most days with eggs of some type for breakfast. Whether it’s an omelette, scrambled eggs or a keto breakfast hash, as pictured above, eggs make and easy breakfast staple.
3. Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is the perfect keto choice for cooking or incorporating into low carb sweet treats. (Here’s coconut oil on Amazon.)
Some even add a teaspoon to smoothies or coffee for a bulletproof, low carb, high fat treat.
Just a word of caution – if you’re not used to ingesting coconut oil this way, start small and work your way up. It doesn’t agree with me, I get terrible stomach cramps, so am always careful with recommending this practice – if you really want to, try a tiny bit first and see for yourself!
4. Best Keto Chocolate
If you have a sweet tooth like me, then keeping keto friendly chocolate to hand means you can indulge your cravings without worrying about the carbs. (Here’s keto friendly chocolate on Amazon.)
My go to keto chocolate recipes include the above pictured chocolate pudding, hot chocolate, chocolate cake and chocolate fudge.
5. Berries
Another sweet treat that can be incorporated into easy keto desserts is to keep berries on hand. Frozen keep for longer and you’re not tempted to eat the whole carton in one go to prevent them from spoiling.
You can enjoy berries in smoothies, keto jam or the above pictured mousse.
6. Nuts & Seeds
Nuts and seeds make an easy keto snack, are high in protein and fiber too. Just be sure to exercise portion control so that you don’t end up consuming your days carb allocation in nuts!
You can incorporate nuts into keto pancakes, bark or the above pictured granola. (For more snack inspiration, check out my ALDI Keto Snacks list.)
7. Broccoli
Broccoli is low in carbs and high in fiber and perfect in a stir fry, omelette or creamy chicken alfredo with broccoli.
8. Mushrooms
Mushrooms are probably my favorite vegetable and I enjoy them simply fried with eggs for breakfast or as a creamy mushroom sauce to enjoy with a meaty keto meal.
9. Avocado – Best Keto Foods
A whole avocado makes an easy snack, you can simply enjoy as is or topped with salt and feta is lovely too.
You can also include avocado in a salad, as a side with breakfast or in a creamy pesto.
10. Tuna
Tuna is a wonderful low carb, high protein food to keep to hand to enjoy in meals like tuna salad, tuna mornay or the above pictured cheesy broccoli and tuna casserole.
