Power Through Super Bowl Sunday With These Keto-Friendly Snacks

Super Bowl Sunday may be the one food holiday that most keto dieters can rest easy — after all, there's plenty of meats, cheese, and dairy-filled dips to be had. While party favorites like chips and crackers may be off the menu, that doesn't mean you can't add a side of crudité to save the day (or create chips out of cheese!). You'll be able to create one heck of a cheese plate to start; soft and hard cheeses are all keto-approved, and they're delicious alongside fried zucchini chips and keto-approved boxed goodies.

If you're going the store-bought snack route, just be sure to stay clear of added sugars in dips, sauces, bagged snacks, and convenience foods. Carbohydrates may be easier to dodge and spot from a mile away, but sugar can hide in things like ketchup, salad dressings, canned and dried fruits (especially those in nut mixes!), and tea, among other things. Something as innocent as spicy trail mix from your local grocery store could threaten to send your body ricocheting off ketosis. It's best to stick to classics like cheesy keto nachos and popcorn, among others.

Don't believe us? Just check out this list of keto-friendly Super Bowl snacks that even non-keto dieters will love. We've got recipes that will work as appetizers (hello, bacon and cheese deviled eggs) or even cuts of tender protein (looking at you spicy jerk drumsticks). We've also thrown in a couple of low-carb dessert options because everyone deserves a treat.
