MY KETO ESSENTIALS

Lots of people do Keto in a lot of different ways which is what makes it so fun, because you can tweak recipes or foods to work for you! On my Instagram account people ask me quite a bit what brands of food I eat, what’s on my grocery list, etc… So here you go! I will keep adding to this as I fall in love with something new:)

THE BASICS

• Kerrygold Butter I always buy salted and use salted in recipes even when it calls for unsalted. You can buy this in bulk if you are a Costco person.

• Pink Salt  This was one of the first things I read about when I first went Keto and it is a must! Here is a great article on why Pink Salt is so awesome!

• Bulletproof Brain Octane Oil This has no taste and gives you wonderful extra dose of healthy fats on your food or in your coffee.

• Bulletproof Grass-Fed Ghee I use this to cook with, but it is also great in Bulletproof Coffee.

• Trader Joe’s Just Almond Meal I also like their Almond Flour, Almond Meal is just less refined. I also use Bob’s Red Mill but the Trader Joe’s variety is slightly lower in carbs.

• Bob’s Red Mill Super Fine Almond Flour

• Bob’s Red Mill Organic Coconut Flour

• Sweeteners: Stevia, Swerve Granular, Swerve Confectioners, Pyure

MEAT AND SNACKS

In general I buy Organic, Grassfed meat whenever posible, that is very important to me. I also buy Organic dairy and Pasture Raised eggs.

• Quest Chips: they come in multiple flavors - all delicious!

• Epic Pork Rinds: I dip them in sour cream or make pork rinds nachos out of them. I buy them at Sprouts.

• HiLo Snack Mixes: a mix of cheese and nuts that are full of flavor.

• Keto Krisp Protein Snack Bars 

• I love Bone Broth to make soups, slow cook meats and more. Lately I’ve loved the flavors of Freak Flag Organics. Kettle & Fire also has great flavors and ready made keto friendly soups.

PREPARED FOODS / MIXES ETC...

These foods are lifesavers for me when I don't have a lot of time to cook, for me it has been essential to have some options I can cook up in 10 minutes when my daughter and I are low on time! 

• There are a lot of great Keto-friendly Noodle options. I love Liviva noodles, this is the brand I have been using the most recently. Miracle Noodle is another great brand.

• Primal Kitchen Mayo, Salad Dressing and Sauces: I love all of their products

DESSERTS

Choc Zero Products From chocolate dipping cups, to chocolate squares and hot cocoa mix, I love all of this brand's products. DISCOUNT CODE: KETOINTHECITY 

• Halo Top! I love Halo Top's flavors. They are not high in fat and some are high in net carbs, so you want to make sure you stick to one serving. You can make a yummy shake with some HWC so you get extra fat. You can find Halo Top at all grocery stores.

• Smart Sweets candies without sugar alcohols, these are not the best keto option, but they are good if you have a candy fix

• Quest Cookies: soft and chewy

• Keto Cookies from Perfect Keto. You can also get them on the Perfect Keto site and use discount code KETOINTHECITY

• Nush Snack Cakes are great treats for on the go or you can warm them up at home and add toppings! Blueberry and Carrot Cake are by far my favorite flavors.

• Good Dees Baked Mixes: so many great mixes from this company. Makes it super easy to bake keto friendly cookies, breads and more! Their frosting is amazing and they even make sprinkles!

• High Key Mini Cookies: these have a great crumbly texture, very yummy!

• Fat Snax Cookies also have great flavors, these are also available at Whole Foods
