KETO ESSENTIALS: My Favorite KETO Gadgets and Snacks on Amazon

Do you hate going to the store? It’s the worst!

Just the idea of walking around a fluorescent lit, one-stop-shop with a full cart gives me a headache that’s why Amazon is so amazing. Everything I need is just a click away. I like to research my bigger purchases and I love that I can read reviews and compare products right there! When I find something I like, I add it to my amazon shop.

So this week I’m sharing with you 15 Keto Essentials You Can Buy On Amazon! This list is includes a bunch of Keto Kitchen Gadgets (I use all of these at least once a week) and my favorite Keto Snacks. Whether you are a seasoned Keto Vet or a rookie, it's important to keep your kitchen stocked with easy Keto Snacks. At 5pm after a long day, you should be able to walk into your kitchen and grab a Keto snack that you love without worrying about your macros. I have a bunch of Keto Snacks on this list including Epic Pork Rinds and Quest Protein Chips. The best thing about these snacks and gadgets is that you can order them from your couch at 11:30 at night in your PJs and get them 2 days later!

Enjoy!

My Books!

If I get to choose, my favorite things for sale on Amazon are MY COOKBOOKS. I still can’t even believe that an Instagram account that was originally only set up so that my friends didn’t have to scroll past my Keto food pics introduced me to a wonderful Keto community! My search for a WOE that worked for me turned into this crazy and amazing life. I am proud to say that I have 2 books on Amazon’s Best Seller List!

These cookbooks have been a labor of love over the past 4 years! The first, The Easy 5-Ingredient Ketogenic Diet Cookbook is great for anyone starting out on Keto who wants to keep things simple. Keto in 30 Minutes is perfect for folks on the go. The Big Book of Keto is just that: a giant book of over 200 Keto Recipes.

Keep these Keto Cookbooks in your kitchen for inspiration the next time you don’t know what to eat. Or buy them for a friend who is just starting Keto.


Keto Kitchen Gadgets

Blendtec Blender

This year, I finally purchased a big girl blender. I had been making do without one for far too long : this thing is a game changer.

The Blendtec Blender is really powerful and easy to use. The first thing I made in my Blendtec were Mint Chocolate Smoothies for my daughter and I! I used Choc Zero’s Keto Chocolate and Keto Syrup for Sweetness and fresh mint. They were a hit!

Although Smoothies and Shakes are the easiest things to make, the Blendtec can also be used to make soups, marinades, and even Keto Pancake Batter.


Instant Pot

This guy has been getting a ton of hype recently and for good reason. This is no ordinary cooker. This thing is a pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer, rice cooker, and more. It even makes Yogurt if you need it to! Stay tuned for more Instant Pot recipes coming from me in the near future!

The Instant Pot really is amazing. I use the standard baseline version and I have been really happy with the results.


Instant Pot Accessories

Whether you are purchasing a new Instant Pot or already have one, this accessories set is a must-have. It has a steamer basket, a Springform Buckle Pan for baking, a steamer trivet that can hold eggs or a plate, and a punch of silicone accessories that work really well with the Instant Pot and save you from burning your hands. These accessories really triple the number of things that you can do with your Instant Pot!

Food Processor

You know you look at Food Processors every time you are in the Kitchen Aisle. Just get one. They make life easier and tastier. This is one thing every at home chef needs. Make Salad Dressings, Dips, Soups, Sauces, Pureed Veggies, and more in this handy food processor. You can even make Keto dough and batter in this thing! It is my absolute go to for food prep. This Cuisinart model isn’t too expensive and can several last years.


Milk Frother

Do you like Frothed Milk in your coffee? Don’t worry about buying a full on steamer. Grab this hand frother! It’s tiny and battery operated, and easy to clean. Whip up some heavy cream or coconut milk any time you want.

I also use it to incorporate any powder into liquid. My favorite Exogenous Ketones, Collagen Powder, and Adaptogens all come in powder form which can take some stirring to mix in. This handy milk frother mixes them in beautifully in a third of the time.

I can’t think of another $10 gadget I use this often!


Candy Molds

I have a bunch of silicone molds saved on my Amazon Store. They are so versatile. I use them to make everything from Keto Gummies and Candies to Fat Bombs. There is even a Pigs in a Blanket mold that I used to make Keto Pancakes shaped like cute little piggies.

I love that the silicone mold is totally bendable, so you don’t have to worry about greasing up a tin or breaking your creations while trying to get them out. Whether you are becoming a Keto Chocolatier or just looking to make cute ice cubes, you can’t go wrong with Silicone Candy Molds.


KETO SNACKS

Quest Chips

Have you heard of these Quest Protein Chips? These Chips have 21g of Protein and 3-4g net carbs per Bag! And the flavors are great! I like the Cheddar and Sour Cream the best! Quest also launch a Tortilla Chip style Protein Chip. I haven’t had them yet, but I’m super excited to give them a try with some fresh made Salsa! I might even sneak them into a restaurant next time I go;)


Quest Cookies

If you like your protein in the form of baked goods, these Quest Cookies are a great option. Their wide spread popularity is a testament to how great they are. They have 15g of Protein and 4g of net carbs in each giant cookie. My favorite flavor is the classic Chocolate Chip.

Amazon has the best price around on a 12 pack of Quest’s low carb Protein Cookies.


Bulletproof Brain Octane Oil

This is one of those specialty items that are great to order on Amazon. I was never able to find the individual packs at Whole Foods, but Amazon has them! So much better to keep in my car, purse, or suitcase. Brain Octane Oil- is like regular MCT Oil’s cool big sister! It keeps me ultra-focused and ultra-full when I’m working which helps me extend my intermittent fasting longer.

The other Bulletproof products are also on Amazon, find your favorite!


Choc Zero

Did you know that you can get Choc Zero on Amazon??

Choc Zero is an amazing low carb company that makes Chocolates, Barks, Syrups, and more all with zero sugar.

I try my best to never run out of Choc Zero Chocolate Bark. It is absolutely delicious, made with all natural ingredients, and KETO! I love the Dark Chocolate Bark with Hazelnuts. They also sell solid Milk, Dark, and White Chocolates that are perfect for using in your Keto Dessert Recipes.

This is the company that makes all of the amazing Keto Syrups that I use in my recipes. They have classic Maple and Chocolate but also a ton of fun fruit flavored syrups that go well on Keto Pancakes and Keto Tea Cakes. Of course if you want my 10% discount, then order from the Choc Zero site and use code KETOINTHECITY, but in a pinch it’s great to have it on Amazon.


Epic Pork Rinds

Boy do I love Pork Rinds! They are absolutely my favorite savory snack. The texture and crunch of these Epic Pork Crackling is amazing and they come in a bunch of different flavors. I love the Maple Bacon Flavor! They also have simple Himalayan Pink Salt, Chili Lime (SO GOOD), and Sea Salt and Pepper flavors!

Add a bag to your next Amazon order and try them out. I promise they are delicious!


Intex Jacuzzi

Last but certainly not least and definitely my favorite thing I’ve ever bought on Amazon, The Intex Inflatable Jacuzzi! I would spend all day on my Patio in my Jacuzzi if I could. This Jacuzzi is so well designed. It is sleek and beautiful. It lives year round on my patio! It is the perfect way to unwind after a long day and where I spend most of my days off.

It may not be a “Keto Product,” but it definitely aligns with my lifestyle. A Keto Lifestyle is all about having a healthy relationship with your body and listening to what it needs. This Jacuzzi is an extremely healthy addition to my life. It is a little retreat in my backyard that forces me to calm my brain and relieves my sore joints. I AM OBSESSED!
