Keto snacks and substitutes and goodies that you can buy

Keeping up with keto can for sure be a struggle when you miss your favorite comfort food like a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich. After living a ketogenic lifestyle, I learned that you can pretty much buy anything keto, you just have to be willing to spend more. Keto alternatives generally mean replacing sugar with a keto-friendly sweetener such as erythritol, allulose, stevia, or xylitol, and replacing flour with almond flour. Even though these are meant to be keto or for people who are doing a low carbohydrate diet, the reality is that sugar is a terrible toxin that is bad for everyone. I would encourage everyone to use these substitutes when you can because there is absolutely nothing good about sugar for your body. Having said that, a true keto lifestyle would frown on processed foods or anything artificial. So don’t go crazy, and still try to limit your intake on these substitutes.

Thrive Market

You can buy a lot of these specialty items that I’m going to talk about at Thrive Market, which caters to gluten free, dairy free, keto, paleo, etc. diets. It’s pretty cool, because you can choose a monthly or annual subscription, and their whole thing is that you’ll save 30% in groceries. Groceries are delivered to you for free with $49 or more. And they guarantee that you will make back your annual membership…
