Sometimes the hardest part about being on a keto diet is finding High Fat Low Carb Snacks to replace your old snacking ways. A lot of people also struggle with finishing their day off with high fat ratio compared to their protein. So, we’ve put together a short list of our favorite go-to snacks that takes less than 5 minutes to make and will help you round off your day perfectly! Keep an eye on this post because we will be updating it with more snacks as we make them.
Easy Snack Recipes
1. Bulletproof Bone Broth/Chicken Broth: This in particular is Megha’s favorite mid=day snack for the time between lunch and dinner. It’s a great way to easily up your butter by blending some heavy whipping cream, butter, coconut oil or MCT oil in with the broth for a delicious warm afternoon snack.
- Ingredients:1 cup bone broth/chicken broth1/2 cup hot water1 tbsp butter1 tbsp heavy whipping cream1/4 tsp pink salt
Instructions: Combine all the ingredients in a blend and blend for 20 seconds until everything is combined. Pour into a glass and enjoy! Note: You can easily swap out ingredients in this recipe to make it to your liking and even add some spices before blending!
2. Crispy Parmesan Hard Boiled Eggs: This is our favorite movie time snack and pre-dinner appetizer! It takes only a couple minutes to make if you have hard boiled eggs and Parmesan in the fridge and is a great balance of protein, fat, crunch and flavors! You can make these as simply or as complex as you want by adding in spices and drizzling with olive oil – our favorite Italian take on this recipe!
- Ingredients:2 hard boiled eggs, sliced lengthwise1/4 cup grated parmesan1 tbsp olive oil (for coating flat surface of egg)Optional add ins: 1/2 tsp oregano, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes
Instructions: Pour the grated Parmesan onto a plate and heat a small skillet to medium-high heat. Using your fingers coat the flat surface of each egg half with olive oil and place into the Parmesan. If the cheese doesn’t stick well or enough firmly press it onto the egg with your hand. Once coated place in the hot skillet Parmesan side down. Allow to crisp up for 1-2 minutes. The cheese will harden and brown once it is complete. Serving with and additional drizzle of olive oil to up the fat!
3. Chocolate Whipped Topping Dessert: This is by far our favorite high fat snack of all three. We make it almost every night right before dinner and place it in the fridge for the post-dinner indulgence! It takes two to three simple ingredients, plus any additions you want to add! Matt loves adding almond extract and Megha loves adding cocoa powder and sour cream to make it a chocolate cheesecake bowl. This is perfect because it is pure fat making it a delicious way to round off your macros at the end of the day!
- Ingredients:1/4 cup heavy whipping cream2 tbsp cream cheese (we like Whipped)1 tsp cocoa powder1/4 tsp vanilla extract5 drops liquid stevia/monk fruitOptional add ins: almond extract, berries, nuts, cream cheese or sour cream
Instructions: add the hwc to a bowl and whip until you achieve stiff peaks. Add in the cream cheese, stevia and cocoa powder and combine with the hand mixer. Eat immediately or place in fridge for an hour to get maximum whipped topping in a bowl experience!

Josh says
Sorry if already discussed but if replacing the heavy cream with sour cream is it 1:1?
Matt Gaedke says
Go with a 2:1 ratio sour cream to cream cheese.
Logan says
What’s the overall nutrition facts for the chocolate whipped topping dessert?
Eunice says
Yaaaaaaaaaasssss, hunny!!! JUST made this and it is EVERYTHING. I also mixed in about 5-6 raspberries, and it’s chilling in the freezer. I am about to get my LIFE with this! Thank you so much!
Rick G says

Dr padmavathy says
Very useful recipess
Keto Connect (Shannon) says
Thanks!
Pat says
Thank you, exactly what I wanted and needed!
Tana says
I don’t know if you guys have responded to this question anywhere…I have heard that the goal is to not eat snacks, and to try to reduce the number of times we eat, to reduce the glucose spiking, and therefore stopping the weight loss. Please advise. Thank you.
Keto Connect (Shannon) says
Keto reduces snack cravings and appetite overall, but we aren’t above snacking for pleasure as well. Keto is long term, baby. Realistically you’re gonna wanna snack!
Penny says
looking forward to trying chocolate whipped cream, I have been making low carb keto chocolate mug cakes a lot lately.
Keto Connect (Shannon) says
Oooo penny ENJOY!
MARIA SCHNEIDER says
I just made the fluffy chocolate whipped thing. We loved it!
Kae says
Have you tried cocoa powder and LC Brown Sugar Sweetener with Erythritol mixed in your whipping cream and cream cheese? Like butterscotch!! Yum
Keto Connect (Shannon) says
Not yet, but it sounds AMAZING
Maral says
great ideas guys, keep them coming! Thank you
Erin says
Probably a dumb question, but unsweetened cocoa right?? Can’t wait to make this tonight!
Keto Connect (Shannon) says
Not a dumb question. Definitely unsweetened
Dawn says
I just want to say thank you! I love watching your videos! You make Keto a lot simpler than most!
Keto Connect (Shannon) says
awe Dawn we certainly appreciate it!
Nicole says
I actually made the Bulletproof Bone broth for breakfast this morning. I wanted something, but didn’t feel like eating a whole breakfast. It was so good. Thank you. I wouldn’t have thought of that on my own.
Keto Connect (Shannon) says
We are so glad you loved it!
Angie says
Just call it a faux choco mousse.
Meagan Arnold says
I live the whipped mousse recipe you guys showed here!! I’ve been making it for months, but (and this idea’s for Megha) I replace the cream cheese with a spoon full of Peanut butter. It works so well and it’s SO FREAKING GOOD!!! 🙂
Keto Connect (Shannon) says
YESSS! Sounds divine!
Louann says
Wow! What a great idea! I’m only a lukewarm cream cheese eater but I love peanut or almond butter.
Anthony says
Wouldn’t the peanut butter affect the carb count?
Kayla says
Is the chocolate dessert one servings? Also, how much sour cream do you use Megha to make it like cheesecake?
Matt Gaedke says
Ya, we eat it as one serving but you can easily adjust the ingredients to make a larger or smaller batch. For the cheesecake one go for 2 parts sour cream to 1 part cream cheese.
Anthony says
Are you replacing the HWC with the sour cream or is the sour cream an additional ingredient?
Erin says
If you’re a chocolate peppermint kinda person, you can also add a little peppermint extract to the fluff (or if you’re just making chocolate whipped cream, too) and it’s so happy making!
Tamara Proctor says
