The best late-night keto snacks are low in calories, low in carbohydrates, and ultra-convenient.
This means they're either pre-packaged goods or simple recipes that can be stashed away until you're ready to snack.
Whether you're a certified sweets lover or a late-night savory snacker, we've got a couple of keto snack ideas on the list for you!
1. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Fat Bombs
Fat bombs are essentially healthy cookie dough balls. They're a fat kid's dream come true...aka my dream come true. Cookie dough fat bombs are packed with nutritional value that's unrivaled when on the keto diet when trying to meet your macros. They're high in fats, a good source of protein, and very low in carbohydrates.
They're easy to make in advance and can be kept in the fridge for when you get the midnight munchies—wondering how to make fat bombs at home? Check out this recipe for Cookie Dough Keto Fat Bombs if you need some help getting started. They're made with only six ingredients and only contain 1g net carbs per serving, making them a terrific late-night keto snack option.
2. Dark Chocolate
Here's another one for those looking to get their sweet fix at night. Dark chocolate is an excellent source of healthy fats and typically contains lower amounts of carbohydrates. The darker the chocolate, the more likely it is to be keto-friendly. With that in mind, look to purchase dark chocolate labeled around 80% cacao to keep carbs and cravings at bay.
