Keto Shopping at Publix
Publix is your basic neighborhood grocery store. It doesn’t carry all the fancy keto brands like Whole Foods and doesn’t offer the bulk deals like Costco, but they have all the essentials, which is really all you need to have success on this diet.
We’ve put together our list of Top 10 Keto Buys at Publix so you can try some of our favorite products and maybe save some money! Check out the list below and watch the video for more in depth (and fun) descriptions of our favorite keto foods.

1. Publix Deli Panino Fingers
These little “fingers” are sticks of cheese with meat wrapped around them. Talk about keto convenience! Publix offers salami and prosciutto flavors, so try them out and let us know which ones are your favorite!
2. Mixed Vegetables
In the Publix produce section, you will find packages of mixed vegetables that are already seasoned and ready to be cooked in the microwave. We like the package of mushrooms, garlic, and shallots for a quick side dish to a steak dinner. Try out Bernaise Sauce on some mixed veggies and a steak!
3. Kimchi
Kimchi is a great fermented addition to any meal, if you are looking to improve your gut health! Fermented foods are tart and flavorful and they can improve digestion. If you don’t want to try Kimchi, you can also try sauerkraut or low-carb yogurt!
4. Primal Kitchen Mayonnaise
Since Megha has cut refined vegetable oils from her diet, she has started eating mayonnaise made made with avocado oil instead. Her favorite brand is Primal Kitchen and quite often, you can find it at on sale at Publix. Megha’s favorite flavor is Chipotle Lime and she uses it in her Egg Salad recipe!
5. Kite Hill Yogurt
Matt has officially become a yogurt lover. Go to Publix and pick up a tub of this Kite Hill Yogurt made with almond milk to understand why. Not only is it dairy-free, but the macros are great for keto. Thirteen grams of fat and only one gram of carb per serving!
6. Whipped Heavy Cream
Our favorite whipped cream topping is the kind we make at home in our own kitchen, but if you need something in a pinch and are running through Publix, then this is a great option. The carbs are low and it’s sweetened with sucralose, so enjoy this with some berries or on top of our Cinnamon Mug Cake as a nighttime cap!
7. Little Chorizo Sausages
We love taking these Quijote Chorizos Caseros to the movies for a satisfying, salty snack on-the-go. They contain more fat than protein which is perfect for keto. When you buy meat that has a higher fat to protein ratio, then you will find it easier to hit your daily fat macros.
8. Sausages
Publix carries a few of our favorite sausages from brands like Kiolbassa Smoked Meats, Maverick Uncured Meats, and Savannah Sausage Company. We feel good about the ingredients in these sausages and love them as quick and easy lunches.
9. Real Good Foods
Real Good Foods is an awesome company specializing in low-carb options including pizza and enchiladas. Find their products at Publix and try out our favorite, the Beef Enchiladas. These are great meals to keep in your freezer for when you need a fast meal and don’t have any time to cook.
10. Low-Carb Ice Cream
There are a couple different options for low-carb ice cream at Publix, but your best option is Enlightened. With just four grams of carbs per serving, you’re able to crush a craving without hindering your keto success. Another good option is Halo Top Creamery. Watch our for Arctic Zero for it’s mediocre ingredients and poor flavor.
This list of Top 10 Keto Buys at Publix should come in handy the next time your go grocery shopping, no matter where you go! Remember to always read ingredient lists, check the nutrition info, and visit the product’s website if you want to find even more information about how it was made and processed. Be a smart keto shopper and comment below with your favorite Publix Keto finds.

Susie Stern says
Publix carries the very best (imho) keto ice cream: Rebel. I eat no chocolate products so I can’t speak to all the flavors, but the Butter Pecan is the absolute best with merely 4g net carbs in the whole pint.
PSA: Walmart and Kroger also carry Rebel.
Cassidy Strickland says
Just so people know, the salami and pepperoni with cheese is not technically keto. They may have low carbs, but they have dextrose, which spikes your insulin. The prosciutto is still keto.
Elaina says
Getting started. Thx for basic Publix list.
Hanna says
Thank you for the auspicious writeup. It in fact was once a entertainment account it.
Glance advanced to far added agreeable from you! However,
how can we be in contact?
Cindy says
Try Rebel Ice cream at Publix. Full cream and low low carbs per pint!
Rebel Creamery says
?
John H says
I agree. Rebel Ice Cream is very low carbs, but their flavors are awesome. I love Triple Chocolate
Priscilla says
Yes! I love Rebel’s Salted Caramel ice cream!
Amber D says
Publix is the only store where I can find Temptee cream cheese. < 1 g carb and it tastes better than all the rest
Debra Dickerson says
I’m new at Keto. Can you use the Sami’s Bakery & LC foods brand of low carb products? ie… bagels, bread, crackers, hamburger buns? If it says: carb28 – fiber24 = 4 net carbs
Is this safe for me to trust as I try saying 20 carbs a day?
Sharon says
Yes, make sure you take into account the serving size also.
Shelly says
All the Enlightened ice cream here is at least 15 grams per serving.
Miranda (KetoConnect) says
If you track net carbs, you would subtract any sugar alcohols/erythritol from the carb count.
ShellyJ says
Actually, the only ingredient you can subtract 100% from Carbs is Fiber. Only ½ of sugar alcohol/ erythritol is subtracted for “Net Carbs.”
Shellyj says
…and Enlightened now makes a few different flavors of a more KETO friendly ice cream. The only problem is that they raised the price to $1 more than their non-KETO ice creams. So, for a “mere” (tongue-in-cheek) $6/ PINT you can choose between Enlightened and Rebel low-carb ice creams at Publix.
Rochele Terry says
Rebel strawberry and butter pecan?
Rob says
Great tips! I’m anxious to try that Kite Hill yogurt.
Patrick Miller says
…what about Two Good Yogurt I can’t believe didn’t mention it
Jack says
Two Good yogurt is available at Walmart and Aldi’s now. Walmart has the better selection of flavors.
Nancy says
Thank you for this. Publix is the only gsme on town wher i live. I have to drive 20mins to get to any other choice. Not a fan but have to go there so now I know.
Kristie says
Publix has a amazing Bratwurst! We usually cook them on grill and also eat with eggs.

Rosa says
I think if you do this with Aldi, Trader Joe’s sister Co. in mind you might be pleasantly surprised. Your wallet will be happy too! Cheers!
Cindy says
Don’t know if you guys have a Target near your area, but I would love it if you can do a top 10 Keto Haul items at Target. Personally, I love shopping for groceries at Target because I find a lot of gluten-free products and I get to save 5% on groceries with their card. Win. Win.
Check out the Sir Kensington’s Avocado Oil Mayonnaise Dressing, it seems to be a good option.

Michelle Crumpler says
How about a visit to Sprouts?
Olivia Kendrick says
Matt & Megha just did a video at sprouts!
Luke says
Is Publix’s chicken salad an option?
Brandy says
No, my husband used to work for the manufacturing side for the deli foods (chicken salad, potato salad, and etc) everything has added sugar, whether it’s the seasoning ingredients or actual sugar put into the final product.
Kim says
I love the videos and ideas of what to purchase and where. However, I would really love it if the recommendations also have a concise list of preferred items per store that I could print out and keep in my car or purse. Thanks for all that you do for us
Sandra Johnson says
I shop at Publix every now and then, so I really appreciated your video!! Great job and enlightening!
Brian says
I’d rather visit a local Korean restaurant than eat ther brand. It tastes like cardboard.
