Everyone knows Walmart is the land of cheap and convenient and there are more Walmart stores in the U.S. than any other grocery store chain. It is no wonder everyone wanted to know what the best keto Walmart options are. There are so many great keto buys at Walmart, so this is going to be a big one.
We like Walmart because it is very budget friendly and there are a lot of great keto friendly staples you can buy. There are a lot of essentials, but there are also some products you should avoid. Check out the list below and watch the video for more in depth (and fun) descriptions of our favorite keto finds. Lets get into the keto Walmart shopping list!
What to Buy for Keto at Walmart
1. Keto Frozen Meals at Walmart
- Real Good Foods pizza, enchiladas and chicken nuggets.
- Atkins frozen meals
- Large selection of keto ice cream
Real Good Foods makes low carb and keto friendly pizzas, enchiladas, and chicken poppers. Their products are made with great ingredients, and Megha loves the snack bites while Matt loves their cauliflower pizzas. The great thing about getting them at Walmart is you don’t have to buy them in bulk!You can use our code: KETOCONNECT for 10% off.

Another frozen option are Atkins frozen meals. The ingredients aren’t great, but it’s a convenient option!
Ice Cream
There is a large selection of keto ice cream at Walmart. We did find some no sugar added So Delicious flavors , which are great tasting and pretty low in net carbs. Megha’s favorite is the butter pecan..
Walmart had a lot of Halo Top ice cream, but make sure to read the labels because the newer flavors are higher in carbs!
- Halo Top
- So Delicious – Make sure it is the “No Sugar Added” variety.
- Breyers Carb Smart
Continue reading for more keto desserts to buy at Walmart, there is quite a large selection!
2. Keto Snack at Walmart
It seems like every time we go shopping we find more keto products at Walmart. It’s great to see so many options.
- Slim Fast Keto Fat Bombs – ONLY the fat bombs. The other keto products from Slim Fast are not suitable for a keto diet.
- Quest Bars and Cookies
- Atkins Bars (Some) – Look for maltitol in Atkins products. If you see maltitol on the ingredients it will have a significant impact on blood sugar levels.
- Cheese Crisps
- Portable Protein Packs
- Sardines
- Mixed Nuts
- Beef Jerky and Sausage – Check for added sugar. It can be hard to find beef jerky without any sugar added, but you can usually find some sausage links.
- Panino Fingers – Cheese sticks wrapped in meat.
- Sugar Free Jello Cups
We have a lot of great fat bomb recipes on our site and also in our Fat Bomb Bible ebook, but if you don’t want to make your own, these new SlimFast fat bombs are convenient and tasty. They are also a lot cheaper at Walmart than other places we have found them. Don’t be fooled though, see below for a product to avoid from this company!
We love making movie snack bags with these fat bombs or reaching for them when we need a small treat.
3. Keto Chips at Walmart
People are always looking for replacements for chips on a keto diet. It’s understandable since sitting on the couch with a big bag of chips and watching TV is one of the most relaxing and enjoyable things to do. Luckily, as keto has become more popular there are more alternatives to potato chips. Give some of these keto chips at Walmart a try and see what you think.
- Quest Protein Chips – The “Tortilla Style” chips are much tastier than the original ones (in our opinion)
- Wholesome Provisions Protein Chips
- Chello Cheese Crisps
- Pork Rinds
Protein chips are typically a highly processed food made with less than desirable ingredients. That being said, they are a great movie snack and they do a good job of replacing potato chips. Cheese crisps and pork rinds are going to be better alternatives to protein chips, but they may not be what you’re looking for if you truly want chips.
3. Meats on a Budget
Ground Beef
If you are on a budget, Walmart has all the deals. We found 10 pounds of ground beef for only $20! You could easily get enough protein and calories every day at a very discounted price. This would be perfect for meal prep.
Lamb & Bison
While Walmart meats aren’t usually the highest of quality, we were surprised that they offer some higher quality options. We found meats like lamb and bison which are great for those of you searching for cheap, yet higher quality meats.
Bacon
We get asked a lot of questions about sugar in bacon. Cured bacon will contain sugar because it is required for the curing process, but there is such a small amount that it isn’t something we worry about!
If you don’t want to purchase bacon that is cured with sugar, a great option is to look for the bacon that is uncured. This bacon usually is less processed and has less preservatives too. Our advice is just to look at the labels, and then if you want to consume it, make sure to count the carbs.
4. Fats & Oils
We were really surprised by the higher quality options available in this section at Walmart. We use lots of oils and fats on the keto diet, so this is something that is essential.
- 4th & Heart Ghee
- Fatworks Duck Fat and Beef Tallow
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Avocado Oil
- High Quality Coconut Oil
We definitely did not expect to find Fatworks duck fat and beef tallow in the oil section. We love to use animal fats to cook our food in, as well as coconut oil. For coconut oil, virgin coconut oil packaged in a glass jar is best. We also recommend picking up a quality olive oil or avocado oil. You want these to be packaged in a dark glass bottle for the highest quality. We like to use nut oils to flavor meals rather than cook meals in. We were very impressed with the options we found here.
5. Sugar Free Sauces & Syrups
Rao’s Homemade Marinara
A really great option for a keto pizza sauce at Walmart is Rao’s Homemade marinara and sauces. It’s one of the best options for tomato sauce with only 4 grams of total carbs per 1/2 cup. They were the cheapest we’d ever found at Walmart!
G. Hughes BBQ
Another sauce we love to pick up at Walmart is G. Hughes BBQ sauces which are sugar-free and keto friendly. This is Megha’s favorite condiment and she pairs it with ever meal!
Torani Sugar Free Syrups
One thing we get asked about are these Torani sugar free syrups. They are sweetened with acesulphame potassium and sucralose, so they aren’t the best, but they can be used on a keto diet to help you stay on track and won’t likely mess with your ketone levels.
We like to use the Better Stevia flavored drops to flavor and sweeten our foods or drinks. Unfortunately you can’t find these at Walmart.
6. Keto Bread at Walmart
That’s right, there is keto bread at Walmart now (at least at certain locations). They also have a small selection of low carb tortillas which are great for making keto friendly tacos and burritos. One thing to keep in mind with most store bought keto bread alternatives is that they are not gluten free, for the most part.
- ThinSlim Foods Low Carb Bread
- Mama Lupe’s Low Carb Tortillas
- Joseph’s Lavash Bread
- Mission Carb Balance Tortillas
It’s incredible that there are so many keto breads at Walmart now! We usually opt for the low carb tortillas or the Lavash bread because you can really load them up with high fat ingredients and make a filling meal.
7. Keto Sweeteners at Walmart
The sweetener section at Walmart had a ton of different products. We found multiple sweeteners that are great options for keto like Pyure, which is powdered stevia. The liquid Splenda bottles are also a good option.
We also found a generic product that contained only stevia and erythritol, so that could be a great option as well. No need to buy only brand names, you can find generic versions that are cheaper and contain the same ingredients.
We like to stick to three sweeteners: stevia, erythritol, and monk fruit.
8. Dark Chocolate Bars
Dark chocolate is the best chocolate option for the keto diet, and Walmart has some pretty budget friendly options. We usually buy unsweetened dark chocolate. If we buy sweetened chocolate, we buy the brands that are sweetened with stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol.
When these brands aren’t available at your grocery store, you can still have chocolate. Dark chocolate is generally not sweetened and contains fewer carbs per serving.
If you can’t stand the 100% dark chocolate, this 92% dark chocolate would be a nice low carb sweet treat after your meal. This is a great options for those chocolate lovers out there!
9. Keto Protein Powder at Walmart
- Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey
- Isopure Zero Carb Protein Powder (highest quality)
- Ancient Nutrition Keto Protein
- Quest Protein Powder (best tasting)
There are a wide variety of keto protein powder options at Walmart. We typically look for whey isolate when shopping for protein powder. Whey isolate is lower in carbs than whey concentrate proteins.
To find a suitable protein powder there are two things you want to check.
- How many carbs per scoop?
- What type of sweetener is used?
Look for protein powders that have less than 3-4 carbs per scoop, and try and find one that is naturally sweetened (although this can be tough). We prefer protein powders that use stevia, but will often have to settle for those that are sweetened with sucralose.
10. Other Keto Products at Walmart
There is even more keto products available at Walmart. We’ll get to the keto products that you should avoid after this, but there are some other useful products worth mentioning here.
That rounds out the list of everything you can get for your keto diet at Walmart. There are definitely some downsides to Walmart, but the large selection more than makes up for it. You’re not likely to find the best quality products, but you will find a bunch of good keto products in addition to meats and veggies to set you up for success on a ketogenic diet.
Now lets talk about some things to avoid!
Keto Pills at Walmart (Avoid)
Keto pills are made for the express purpose of taking advantage of the uninformed consumer. They do contain ketones, but they are in such a low dosage that they will have no effect. Additionally, they are sold at very high prices when compared to ketone powders.
You do not need supplemental ketones, focus on eating a keto diet instead. If you do want to give ketones a try you are better off buying a powdered supplement so that you get the recommended dosage, as opposed to the keto pills at walmart.
Keto Strips at Walmart (Mostly Avoid)
Walmart sells urine strips that you can use to test your ketones. The problem is, urine strips only tell you the amount of ketones that you are excreting and not the amount that is in your blood. This can be fun as a test when starting keto to make sure you’re producing ketones, but these strips should not be used to accurately measure your ketone levels.
Sugar Free Candy (Avoid)
You might have seen sugar free candies (like Russel Stovers) before and thought they were perfect for keto. Think again. These candies usually contain maltitol, which is a sugar alcohol that spikes your blood glucose similar to white sugar. That means that you can’t subtract those carbs from maltitol when counting net carbs because they impact your body.
We do not recommend these candies for anyone on the keto diet. The sugar alcohol we like to stick to is erythritol which has no blood sugar effect.
To see which sweeteners have an effect on your blood sugar, check out our Ultimate guide to low carb sweeteners.
Keto Shakes at Walmart (Avoid)
All of the keto shake options at Walmart are pretty bad. There are some that use really bad ingredients, and some that use decent ingredients but don’t taste very good. You’re much better off buying a keto friendly protein powder and mixing it with a milk replacement and using that as a keto shake. We would personally avoid all keto shakes at Walmart.
Keto Burn Xtreme at Walmart (Avoid)
The truth is, if you’re still in the “fat burner mindset” then you are not likely to have success with whatever diet you are trying. Whether it be ketogenic, vegan, or a standard american diet. Pills don’t burn fat, sustainable diet and lifestlye changes do. Nothing about this supplement is keto. The word keto is on the label to confuse consumers.
SlimFast Keto Meal Bars (Avoid)
The SlimFast Keto fat bombs were one of our top 10 finds at Walmart, but you should avoid the SlimFast meal bars. They contain unwanted ingredients that could potentially affect your ketosis. They contain IMO fiber which can’t be subtracted in order to get net carbs because this fiber actually does impact your blood sugar levels. If it can affect your blood sugar levels, it can impact your ketosis level, so these bars should be avoided.
Is Stevia In The Raw Keto? (Avoid)
You would think that Stevia In the Raw is just what is sounds like, raw stevia. Well, it is not only stevia, in fact the first ingredient is dextrose. Dextrose can spike blood sugar. You should avoid this product, because there are definitely better options that don’t include dextrose.
We like to stick to products that are mainly erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit (with no other ingredients), so just make sure you check the ingredients label when buying sweeteners.
Keto Coffee at Walmart (Avoid)
Coffee is already keto.
Everyone is trying to capitalize and make money off of the keto diet by making products that say “keto” and “mct oil”. We found this keto coffee product by Mighty Coffee. Usually these are the products that have a ton of unnecessary ingredients and some of those ingredients actually might not be good for the keto diet.
Instead of buying these products, it might be better to just buy some MCT oil or heavy cream for your coffee. We like to use butter too! Be wary of these products and check the labels on everything you buy. Just because it says it is keto, does not mean that it is the best for keto.
Salad Dressings “Made of ” Olive Oil
Ever since everyone found out olive oil and avocado oils were actually healthy for you, they started adding them to a lot of dressings and different products. Don’t be fooled when you see an olive oil salad dressing.
They are usually sneaky and include other oils (canola or soybean) which are high in omega 6 fatty acids and can increase inflammation. Just be aware that the oil in these dressings is not only olive oil. We try to avoid these products and check the labels of all of our dressings.
We like using Primal Kitchen’s avocado oil salad dressings which does not contain any other oils.
In Summary
There are many keto options available at Walmart that we recommend! We couldn’t hold the list to only 10, so we added in a lot of extra options! Always be sure to read the ingredients that an item contains, even if it says keto or looks keto friendly. A lot of the items contain unwanted ingredients!
1. Keto friendly frozen foods and ice cream
2. Keto chips
3. Keto snacks
4. Animal fats and quality oils
5. Sugar free sauces and syrups
6. Keto bread and tortillas
7. Keto sweeteners
8. Dark chocolate
9. Keto protein powders
10. Even more keto products
That wraps up our top 10 keto buys at Walmart.

I love this post. I have been keto for only two months and you guys and Dr. Berg have helped me so much. I have 3 kids and stay at home so saving money while eating better is my main goal. But I have lost 25 lbs and only 50 more to go. I just want to let you guys know I appreciate your videos and can’t wait to see Megha be a mother. To be honest, my diet and having energy to add back exercise has helped me be a better mother. So I can’t wait to see you guys proud parents. Thanks Guys for your hard work.
Some observations from Canadian Walmart:
-meat is generally cheap in bulk sizes/family packs
-I use other grocery stores for more variety of cuts and more frequent deals
-pork rinds in the international aisle, if not found anywhere else
-international aisle also good for bulk spices
-fruit and veggies are a bit hit or miss but so are the other chains in my area, perhaps because so much has to be imported.
-still looking for sugar-free sauces
-you seem to have more variety in the oils and snacks, I’m envious
Did it right last week: deals at Walmart and veggies from the farmers market.
Thanks this was great! I hope there is a link on your web site as i want to use it when i shop at Walmart instead of writing it all down! Excellent information on good Keto items and saving money. Most people dont think of Walmart because Keto use to be so unique and expensive
Discovered the Mac pork rinds at Walmart while on a college visit in Alabama. Was thrilled to discover my local WalMart in Central Texas carries three different Mac products. The puffy rinds, the cracklins with the yummy skin still attached and then the super crunchy curled cracklins.
I like to get their Great Value fine ground Almond Flour $ 10.98 for a 2 lbs.& Great Value sugar free whipped heavy cream ( spray can ) ( it does have sucralose in it, but I’m ok with that ) costs $1.95.
Love what you do!!
Our Walmart has a ton of organic and healthy stuff for baking. I found psyllium husks, almond and coconut flour, all the good sweeteners.
Beware of blended “Truvia” brands too. Kroger’s carries a baking blend that is bad. Tastes bitter.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you for this list! It helped finish off my shopping list. Only 3 hard core keto peeps in my family of 6, but trying to lower the carbs in everything I make for the family. Thanks, again!
So excited to learn you finally have Keto Food!
what are your thoughts on DUKES Products? you didnt mention them…
Dukes mayonnaise or meats?
Thanks for telling us about STEVIA IN THE RAW – had no idea!
And we’re always making our own BBQ sauce so Megha’s tip is fabulous!
a bag of Ghirardelli squares 86% or higher is only 3 carbs ea & Publix has them BOGO once a month!
Reminder – what it low carb & keto-friendly may not be low enough for Diabetics!
You guys are the best ~ esp for eating on camera!!!
I love Season sardines, and think they’re tastier than Wild Planet. The local Costco sells a 6-pack of Season Boneless Skinless in Olive Oil for something like $9.99. They sometimes have then on sale for $6.99 a six-pack, which is a great deal. Costco once sold the ones with skin and bones, which I also like, but the Skinless Boneless ones seem really meaty and packed tightly in the can, so you get a lot of bang for your buck.
(FWIW, I never buy the sardines in tomato sauce or in mustard because I always feel like the canners are putting in sauces and flavors to hide something “off”. Just my personal paranoia.) But back to Wal-Mart: I’ve also seen products like almond flour and chia seeds in their “Wal-mart Neighborhood Market”, so they seem to have their finger on the pulse of what is popular these days, but you are absolutely right about their produce; it’s tired and lackluster at best.
I’m shocked and totally disappointed about the Stevia in the Raw. I have used this for years and now I’m switching. I thought I was reading labels better but alas I was not. thanks for the heads up.
Sam’s Choice Swiss Dark Chocolate 90% Cocoa is awesome! Had 5g carbohydrates per serving which is 3 nice sized squares.
My Walmart sells this! It is very good without that bitter taste. Very good …
They also have the best no stir organic peanut butter. Only 1 net carb per serving!
Wow! Great information in a pinch. Love all your videos. You make them all look so easy to make. “which they are”, just need to plan ahead. Lilly’s chips are $10 per bag at Sprouts, so that is no good.
These are great. When you mentioned the Rao’s, I wanted to suggest a complement: I like frying up some Tropical Queso de Freir (found at some Wal-marts in the Latin cheese section) in a cast iron pan with a spritz of avocado oil makes a perfect little dipper. Cheese sticks with NO breading and miniscule carbs dipped in Rao’s. Yummy!
Thank you guys for this information! I absolutely love, love, LOVE watching your videos! Keep it coming…
Hey thanks a lot this list will be really helpful. Didn’t know the stevia in the raw wasn’t a good option feeling kinda betrayed there but I’ll definitely be checking out the slim fast bombs
I buy Walden salad dressings are they keto friendly
All depends on the carb macros per serving and the ingredients.
My Walmart has a lot of fresh, organic produce which I buy every week: spinach, kale, spinach/argula mix, bell peppers, cauliflower, cabbage, green onions. I like the quality and I find it has a longer shelf life than Kroger’s organic.
You guys are so helpful! Love your videos, recipes, cookbook and everything you do for the keto community! Thank you!
♥️Love This Guys…I Watch Yall All The Time…
Im Basically A Beginner Lol….But Im Keeping It Going Learning More And More New Things….New Ways Of How To Eat
#Team Keto☺️
better stevia not in Walmart store, but buy it @ walmart.com…. multiple bottles with free delivery… much cheaper than other online co’s.
I can’t believe it. I just bought Stevia In The Raw. Thanks for the heads up. I would never think to actually check it’s ingredients. I was also surprised that you recommended Splenda. I’ll have to do more research on that one. Thanks for all the great advice.I shop at Wal-Mart a lot and I just started a no sugar(bad sugar) for the next 21 days. I’ve been using the same coconut oil you recommended to help with the sugar cravings. Blessings 🙂
[email protected] you for the food tips. Love your podcast!!
Thanks once again for all the help! I hope your pregnancy is an easy one, and you will have no morning sickness. If you do we all are with you. Congratulations to you both!
Thank you so much for this…I am just beginning and it was great to see what products are available
Hi guys ! I’m from uk and 60 , starting keto again! Hoping to stick to it this time !!
Two questions
1:on the keto calculator it doesn’t aske for age ? Does that not matter ?
2: do you have to eat all the macros ? Ie in my case 90grams of fat 116 grams protein. I’m finding it hard to eat that amount ??
I normally eat just once a day at 7pm
Yesterday my macros eaten were 30 fat ,52 protein, 6 carbs ??
I would have to eat 3x that to get to the macro chart
Please help very confused
Many thanks great site
Tim
Our calculator uses body fat percentage which is more accurate than age and height. It would help to eat the amount given. If you eat too low on your calories, your body will struggle with weight loss too. You want to get as close as you can, so adding some snacks might help.
Love your site was just reading I just need some help for whn to eat what? or a plan . I just get confused on how many cabs , when to eat , what should I eat ? Just over whelmed some what 🙁
You should check out our beginner’s guide here: ketoconnect.net/ketogenic-diet
having problems with computor connections . can also use if that doensn’t work . my husband is daniel s tosta [email protected] sometime i have trouble with mine. i don’t know why .
didnt like dukes
love watching you guys. what do you think about the Clear American flavored sparking water beverage? i love them because they have 0 sugar, 0 calories, 0 caffeine and 0 sodium. it does have aspartame though.
How can you say lavash is keto friendly when it’s made with wheat flour?! Just because low carb high fiber doesn’t make it keto.
I agree, this is a lot of bad keto advice
In addition to my last post, Mission carb balance has hydrogenated oils, which is HORRIBLE for you regardless if keto or not, as well as wheat starch and wheat flour…..
They also have stevia and erythritol sweetened chocolate chips at a pretty low cost! They are the brand bake believe.
Do u guys ever use Nu-salt as potassium sup.
just wanted to sign up
Prior to watching the video and reading the blog post I had already sworn off the sugar free snacks for over 2 months. Flatus- down!, Blah feeling-down! Even the plateau in my weight loss- eliminated! The problem was I couldn’t single out what was the culprit until I saw your video on both this and the various sweeteners. Well of course it was the maltitol and various cheap stuff thrown into all those Sugar Free treats! And I can’t thank you enough for helping point me into various healthier alternatives and further educating both myself and others..
I really appreciate providing information and giving tips about keto finds .About the slimfast Keto meal bar , I have the nutty caramel and nougat flavoured one . Why should we avoid it ? I couldn’t really find anything wrong in the ingredients , but I’m also not a scientist either . So what am I missing here ? Could you please tell me , it tastes so good . Just so you know I’ve been doing keto for almost a year now and loving it . I weigh 126lbs and want to stay there , so I don’t want to have the wrong things . After watching your video , I went to Walmart today to buy all of those things you suggested. But the quest chips were 2.85 for one small bag . That is crazy! I put it back on the shelf . By the way , I liked the chicken poppers that you suggested.
This was really helpful to me. I’m trying hard to do keto. I’m not a good cook and don’t have a lot of variety with my meal. I need to know a good keto book to help me with easy meals. There are to many books.
We got G Hughes BBQ Sauce from Publix but when we saw “Sucralose” on the label we returned it! Have a friend of a friend misdiagnosed with MS until they realized that she was a heavy sucralose user – she got well after getting off sucralose!
This article was just what I needed. Sadly I have some of the no-no products that I bought when I started Keto. Fortunately I’m almost done with these. I do not eat large amounts so I think for now I’ll be good but definitely not on my future grocery list.
What about the quest pre made protein shakes? They taste good!
Do you have a print out version of top 10 keto, to buy at Walmart
I loved your article <3 thanks for the recommendations!!
Thanks
What is your take on KETOCHOW? They have great commercials, and the keto aspects sound good. Love you guys!
Really helpful I am just starting the diet and could use all the info I can get
Which breads at Walmart are keto
Thank you for sharing us. I’ve read all details and I can’t check ingredients everything. Because I am senior. I can’t see small letters. I really appreciate it. Thank you so much. Love your reviews. I like your healthiest bread, mix with ground flax seeds and psyllium husk recipe. Thank you always.
They also have the different flavor of Lily’s chocolate chips now. Now I love making keto cookies with the almond flour a variety of the different flavored chips.
I am back from months of trying a plant based diet, it jacked my blood sugars though i did lose weight, and felt a little better. I am not sure if i will do keto but i am going low carb at least moderate fat! Miss you three! Hope to watch some of your newest videos soon! Hugs n blessings!
Very informative. Thank you.
Q: I read about malitol in Russell stovers caramels. What about Kerr’s frut smoothies candies. They have polydextrose?, sorbitol, malic acid and sucralose. How do these impact blood sugar and how do you subtract sugar alcohols?
Which is the best keto protein power at Walmart
thanks for all the info about Walmart this will make shopping so much easier.
I would love to talk to you. I have watched you on UTUBUE and learned soo much. I can’t seem to get into Ketosis. I have lost 60 lbs but I have 100 to go. I don’t want my stuff published. I have one of your books, but I’m really struggling. I’ve been stuck at the same weight for weeks. I am so grateful for all the help I’ve received from watching and reading. My inflammation is very high I have fibromyalgia , 2 hip replacements and a toe joint. I’ll write again tomorrow .
