“Next to biltong and droewors, NUTS are probably the most popular go-to snack in our house. They just tick all the boxes as a perfect keto snack: high in fat, fibre and protein. We try and steer clear of the store-bought roasted nuts for several reasons: many mixed nuts packets (while convenient) usually include peanuts and almost always feature vegetable oil – two things which should be avoided on keto. However… in the spirit of being honest and transparent, I would be lying if I said we didn’t always have a packet kicking about. Anyway, honesty aside… during COVID-19 lock down, I found a packet of halved macadamia nuts in the pantry and got to work straight away when Funnyman said he was craving something spicy as a snack. These did not last long in our house – they were delicious!” – Monya
“South Africa nails it when it comes to offering keto snacks. I could write a thousand words on how much I love biltong and droewors! If you have never tried either, please do so. (And, ‘jerky’ is not the same thing). I often make my own biltong, but was inspired by a friend who used my ‘Boerewors‘ mix to create droe wors (South African dried sausage) in a biltong maker. I then did the same (not using the pork) and LOVED the result! Not only is my version clean, but there is something special about using a cool gadget (in this case, a sausage stuffer) and making your own snacks. Macros indicate a 30g (1.06oz) serving, which is one-third of the long dried beef stick.” – Monya
“Nuts are the ULTIMATE fat snack and macadamias are particularly delicious when roasted. If you can spend 15 minutes once or twice a week to prepare a batch of roasted macadamia nuts, you will have plenty of servings. After roasting these super-tasty, satisfying fat bombs, I scatter over a pinch of salt and powdered erythritol as soon as they came out the oven. Be sure to allow them to cool completely before storing in a sealed container. The macros are calculated on a portion size of 35g / 1.2oz – which is ample for a quick snack to crunch on between meals. They smell like popcorn and taste like heaven!” – Monya
