Doesn’t that sound exciting? Go ahead and give them a try!
Best Keto Snacks to Buy That’ll Make Your Taste Buds Cry With Joy
Let’s find out what this beautiful lady chooses for her favorite Keto candy. Is it super tasty and amazing, or kind of boring and damn bland?
The best low-carb snacks are really yummy and have lots of healthy fats that make you feel full. They also give you a burst of energy and have the nutrients you need to get through a busy day.
Keto Big Picture listened carefully to what Vanessa liked and didn’t like. But it’s important to not just believe Vanessa, Keto fans have different opinions too. So let’s find out if Vanessa and Keto fans agree on different flavors.
1. Updated: Moon Cheese – Pepper Jack Flavor (Previous: Sriracha Flavor)
Mission Statement: At Moon Cheese, we take 100% all-natural cheese and turn it into that deliciously crunchy snack you’ll love to the moon and back.
May 2021 Update: Sadly, the Sriracha flavor of Moon Cheese has been stopped and I don’t know why. According to the Moon Cheese team, Pepper Jack might taste similar. Have you tried it yet? If you haven’t, you can send a message to the support team and they might give you a free sample to try.
Moon cheese is a great snack for when you’re watching a movie! People really like it because it’s crunchy and salty. It’s not as soft and warm as popcorn, but it still tastes really good.
Some people don’t like that it’s really expensive though. But if you really love cheese and want to eat a healthier snack, it might be worth paying more for. Sometimes better foods cost more money, but they’re better for your body and have less unhealthy stuff in them.
The Serving Size (6-7 pieces) contains: Fat 5 g. Protein 0 g. Net Carbs 0 g. Calories 70.
Pros
- Crunchy.
- 100% Natural Cheese.
- High in protein (source of calcium).
- No refrigeration is required.

Cons

2. Dang Bar – Almond Vanilla Flavor
Mission Statement: I was on the Keto diet and couldn’t find any tasty, on-the-go snacks…so I made them myself!
Vanessa: “It’s just like really um…chalky”. After a bite, Vanessa loudly sipped water.
The Almond Vanilla Dang Bar is a top-rated product that a lot of people like. This bar fans appreciate its natural ingredients that are good for you, like healthy fats from coconut, cocoa butter, and almond butter. These ingredients help you stay in nutritional ketosis and satisfy your sweet cravings. People who like low-carb snacks are happy because this protein bar tastes real, not fake. You can really taste the almonds, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds.
Some people didn’t like the price of the bar because they think it’s too expensive. One person also said it tasted like cardboard and didn’t like it. But everyone has different tastes, so it’s hard to say for sure if the flavor is good or not.
The Serving Size (1 bar) contains: Fat 14 g. Protein 9 g. Net Carbs 5 g. Calories 210.
Pros
- Has a nice crunch and consistency.

3. Dang Bar – Lemon Matcha Flavor
Mission Statement: I was on the Keto diet and couldn’t find any tasty, on-the-go snacks…so I made them myself!
After the first bite, Vanessa looks like a baby, wondering if this food is really edible.
Vanessa: “I would say it’s like, slightly more exciting than the almond vanilla because there’s a lemon tang to it?”
Vanessa, a lot of people who eat Dang agree with you. They seem to be more excited about the taste of the Lemon Matcha Flavor than the Almond Vanilla Flavor. They think the lemon bar tastes really good with just a hint of lemon and has a nice texture. They even say it is very satisfying!
However, there is one thing that some people don’t like about the product – it is really expensive. But even with the high price, most people still think the yummy taste is worth it. One customer said, “If you like lemon, lemon bars, or lemon cookies, this is the best substitute ever. I wish they weren’t so costly, but they’re worth it.” So, if you like lemon and are looking for a Keto-friendly snack, you should try adding the lemon matcha bar to your list!

Pros
- Satisfying taste.
- Crunchy texture.
- Sweet, but not too sweet.

4. Dang Bar – Chocolate Sea Salt Flavor
Mission Statement: I was on the Keto diet and couldn’t find any tasty, on-the-go snacks…so I made them myself!
Vanessa: “I’m scared of this chocolate one. So close, I’m so close. Chocolate…sea salt. Sounds promising”… After tasting it Vanessa says: “I mean, it’s definitely the best one.”
This special Keto Chocolate Dang Bar got both good and bad comments from people who tasted it. Some people in group A really liked the taste and gave it a thumbs up. But in group B, other people said it tasted terrible, like chalk, and wasn’t worth the money. Vanessa thought it was the best out of three Dang bars she tried. If I were you, I would order all the three Dang bars and try them for myself to see which my Dang is to go!
The Serving Size (1 bar) contains: Fat 15 g. Protein 10 g. Net Carbs 4 g. Calories 210.

-
A little bit chalky.

5. Zenwise Health – Keto-Crave Energy Bar (Fudge)
Mission Statement: We are devoted to ensuring your wellness journey is a seamless zen-like experience that enables you to achieve a happier, healthier, and more balanced approach to life.
August 2022 Update: Honestly, I’m not sure when this snack vanished from the market. I think the Keto-Crave Bar may have been stopped for some unknown reasons.
Vanessa: “It’s chocolate chip cookie dough! Coconut MCT oil! And chicory root? Interesting.” And then she immediately reached out for a taste, saying…”I feel like the coconut MCT is in the chocolate? So, it makes it like kind of oily in a weird way?”
“Soft, it’s really soft. Once again, it’s like, really chalky. I feel like that’s just a common through-line with bars a lot of the time.”
This chocolate Keto-Crave fudge is really yummy and good for you too! It has lots of special ingredients like cacao butter, almond butter, chocolate chips, cashew butter, cocoa, and Coconut MCT oil. These ingredients are natural and healthy, especially the MCT oil, which can help you focus better. Even though the package is small, the fudge inside is really filling and satisfies your cravings. It tastes even better when you put it in the fridge. Healthy fats give the bar the creamy texture, that people adore. Make sure to keep some of these Keto energy bars with you wherever you go! They’re a tasty and healthy snack.
A lot of people who ate the Keto-Crave Energy Bars were disappointed because the bars arrived melted and didn’t taste good when they hardened again. The customers want to know why the company doesn’t include ice packs to keep them from melting. Some people really like the Keto-Crave oily fudge, but others say it tastes really bad and leaves an oily feeling in their mouth. It’s gross! Some people even had stomach problems after eating this fudge. I wonder how Vanessa felt after trying this snack.
The Serving Size (1 bar) contains: Fat 16 g. Protein 9 g. Net Carbs 5 g. Calories 140.
Pros
- Small package but fulfilling contents.
- Tastes good when chilled.
- Creamy.
- Mildly sweet.

Cons

- It may cause gas or bloating (hint: chicory root).
- Misleading packaging (the bar is about 60% the size of the wrapper it comes in).
Taste & texture
- Group A claims it's delicious when chilled.
- Group B claims it's upsetting when ingredients fall apart.
- Vanessa says it's oily and chalky.
6. Synchro Ketomanna – Ketogenic Chocolate Wonderfood Liquid (Pouch)
Mission Statement: Synchro is a way of being – a state in which the body and brain are truly alive and vibrant and functioning at a level approaching full potential.
Vanessa: “MCT! A lot of these Keto things have MCT. I guess that would make sense.“
“You store it in the fridge, and then you eat it cold. Okay, well, this one’s already cold – so I’m gonna give it a shot.”
This time Vanessa feels excited and looks so cute, like a baby getting her favorite sweet.
“It looks like there’s poop in my mouth, doesn’t it?” She can’t stop laughing until she feels bliss: “Oh wow! It’s actually really good! The coconut is really coming through. Once again, slightly chalky. But less chalk, more paste! But it’s good; I’m not mad at it. I don’t know if I would reach for it? But this is my favorite thing we’ve had so far.”
Users love this Ketogenic chocolate snack because of its tasty, satiating, cleaned ingredients and the small package to bring it everywhere with them. Especially new Keto sweet-tooth fans get hooked to this high-fat, low-carb Keto snack. Vanessa agrees that Ketomanna Ketogenic Chocolate Wonderfood is toothsome.
Many users felt upset when they followed the product’s directions to knead the package thoroughly before opening it. Because instead of getting a fudge, they got a liquid, which makes a mess if you don’t suck it down like you have no gums. (But dear reader, the box clearly states to knead the packets, put them in the fridge and knead before eating again.) Let’s admit here the company has misleading advertising: they promise a fudge at room temperature, while you obviously can see the liquid in the picture. Real fudge is usually smooth and not lumpy or grainy. The fudge Vanessa tried looks soft, but that’s because it was kept in the fridge before.
The Serving Size (1 packet) contains: Fat 22 g. Protein 3 g. Net Carbs 3 g. Calories 224.
Pros
- Vanessa's favorite one from tasted 6 Keto snacks above.
- Coconut dominating flavor (Pro for coconut lovers).
- 12 g MCTs per serving.
- Quite satiating.
- Portable (small enough to fit in the pocket).
- High-quality, pure ingredients.
- An excellent alternative for chocolate.
Cons
- It needs a kneading "massage" before opening.
- Coconut oil separates from chocolate (if you don't knead well).
- Misleading advertising: promises fudge in the room's temperature, but it's liquid.
- Coconut dominating flavor (Con for coconut dislikers).
- When fudge resolidifies in the fridge, it sticks in the wrapper.
Taste & texture
- Vanessa loves it because of the strong coconut flavor.
- Group A says it tastes like a cacao-coconut treat and feels smooth.
- Group B claims to taste straight coconut oil with cocoa powder (not very well mixed ingredients).

7. F bomb – Salted Chocolate Macadamia Nut Butter
Mission Statement: Fat is smart fuel.
Vanessa: “Salted chocolate macadamia. I do love macadamia nuts.”
“It’s okay. It could be used like a little salt. It says there’s sea salt, but I don’t taste it. It says there’s dark chocolate, but I don’t taste it.”
Vanessa is a macadamia nuts lover and verdict for this product: “It”s just like ground-up, oily macadamia nuts.”
People were generally happy with a portable easy-to-squeeze F Bomb Keto Nut Butter, which serves them perfectly for long hikes and simply on the go. It’s also considered the main healthy energy boost snack for many marathoners because of its small 1 oz package, which surprisingly contains high amounts of fats. And the celebrity trainer Vinnie Tortorich confirms it. And the taste, oh my…A perfect blend of sweet and salty. It sounds like the best nut butter for Keto on the go, giving an immediate energy boost!
Some people thought the snack is too expensive, but others justified the cost of macadamia nuts. Not everyone could get all the nut butter out of the package, so they had to cut it open. However, if you knead it like Vanessa did, this might not be a problem. Overall, most people liked the taste of F Bomb Nut Butter F and were happy with it.
The Serving Size (1 packet) contains: Fat 22 g. Protein 2 g. Net Carbs 1 g. Calories 210.

8. Trader Joe’s – Roasted Seaweed Snack
Mission Statement: Giving our customers the best food and beverage values they can find anywhere and providing them with the information required to make informed buying decisions.
Vanessa: “And last, but not least, good old seaweed snacks. Always great, except for when you are doing a photo shoot. Because then they get stuck in your teeth. And that’s not cute.” I agree with you, darling.
“Oh wait, I’m doing this on camera. Watch me get seaweed stuck in my teeth!”
“I just realized it’s probably not the most attractive thing to eat?”
“They are so good. They’re like salty, and kinda sweet, and kinda crunchy. It’s like fun food. It’s like astronaut food kind of, like astronaut ice cream.” Yes, dry ice cream for astronauts (laughing).
“That was good.”
These seaweed chips are perfect for people who enjoy sushi and seafood. They are also really nice to look at, being thin and rectangular with a beautiful green color. In Italy, we have a saying that goes, “Anche l’occhio vuole la sua parte”, meaning “You should also please your eye.” So these chips not only taste good, but they also look good. They are made with sesame oil that gives them a pleasant taste and crunchiness. Did you hear how crunchy they sound in the video? They are so satisfying to eat! You can even have fun and pretend you’re eating astronaut’s ice cream, like Vanessa does.
This package has only 30 calories, which means it is a low-calorie and healthy snack. However, there was a problem with the taste. Not everyone liked the light smell of fish and some even found it gross. So, it’s best if you try it yourself and see what you think. Overall, people liked this seaweed snack because it can be added to salads and fish dishes as an extra layer of flavor.
The Serving Size (1 packet) contains: Fat 2 g. Protein 1 g. Net Carbs 0 g. Calories 30.

Best Keto Snacks to Buy For Sneaky Cravings (According to Vanessa Hudgens)
Vanessa: “So, I don’t think it’s very hard to tell what my favorites were? But, drumroll, please. Seaweed and Sriracha Moon Cheese for the win (updated to Pepper Jack Moon Cheese). These are the winners; these are the best snacks, hey! And these are going to my purse.”
This is the #1 Lip-smackingly Delicious Keto Snack
This review shows that Keto lovers, users, and consumers evaluate taste very differently. What is tasty for you, maybe not for Vanessa, and the opposite. But we came to the point where we all agreed. And it’s Dang Bar – Lemon Matcha Flavor. You can feel the natural, satisfying lemon taste and its crunchiness. What an amazing idea to use lemons for Keto Dang bars. Dang, that’s good!
Talking about texture, you have learned that oil separation is natural, so before using oils containing snacks, knead them well. Alright? Because some snacks need a good massage as humans need.
Are you ready to please your cravings with yummy Keto-approved snacks?
This review highlights the distinct tastes and preferences between Keto enthusiasts and Vanesaa. It acknowledges that what may be delicious for one person might not necessarily be the case for another. However, after much deliberation, a unanimous agreement was reached – the Dang Bar – Lemon Matcha Flavor reigns supreme. It showcases a delightful infusion of natural and gratifying lemon essence, coupled with a satisfying crispiness. The innovative use of lemons in the creation of Keto Dang bars is truly remarkable. Simply put, it is a taste sensation that leaves you exclaiming, “Dang, that’s good!”
Moving on to texture, it is important to understand that some oil separation is perfectly normal in snacks that contain oils. To ensure an optimal snacking experience, it is recommended to thoroughly knead these snacks before consumption. Just like a revitalizing massage is beneficial for humans, giving your Keto-approved snacks a good kneading is essential.
With all this in mind, are you ready to indulge in these delectable Keto-approved snacks?
