Searching for keto energy bars in a sea of granola-based products can feel like a true struggle, but we've found plenty of options out there that are low in net carbs while high in fiber and fat. There's even a savory option if you don't have a sweet tooth. Stock up on these 10 healthy bars so you never find yourself panicked (AKA hangry) on the go again.
Quest Protein Cookies ($20): Though this chewy cookie is technically not a bar, it still acts like one. Its main ingredients are whey protein and butter, and yet it's still high in fiber with only 4 grams of net carbs.
Stoka Bars ($24): Snappy Stoka Bars are made in Texas from almonds and butter powder (yep!). They're suitable for keto, paleo, and low-glycemic eaters.
Just the Cheese Bars ($24): If you don't love sweets, the savory Just the Cheese bars are crunchy and made from, well, just the cheese. Try Aged Cheddar, Grilled Cheese, or Jalapeño flavors.
IQ Bars ($24): Designed with the brain in mind, keto IQ bars contain vitamin E, lion's mane, magnesium, and prebiotic fiber to keep your synapses firing. Plus, they are vegan, which means you can take a break from high cholesterol, animal-based fats.
Dang Bar 3 Flavor Variety Pack ($33): Make some room in your pantry for these plant-based, almond-coconut bars — they're that good. They come in three flavors, including Lemon Matcha, Almond Vanilla, and Chocolate Sea Salt. Though they contain no grains and only have 4-5 grams of net carbs per serving, they taste like cookie dough.
Bulletproof Collagen Protein Bars ($35): The protein bars are infused with collagen protein, Bulletproof XCT oil, and Bulletproof Brain Octane Oil, all formulated to keep your body in ketosis. There are seven flavors of Bulletproof bars to choose from, but we're partial to the Apple Pie.
Atlas Bars ($36): Made with grass-fed whey protein and nuts, Atlas Bars are high in protein (16+ grams per serving) but low in sugar. Try Chocolate Cacao, Peanut Butter Chip, or Vanilla Almond.
Love Good Fats Bars ($36): Fat is a key nutrient for keto eaters, and these bars have more than enough to keep you satisfied and full on a low-carb diet. They're an Amazon Choice, so you know they're good.
Kiss My Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars ($40): Kiss My Keto bars are designed with the ketogenic diet in mind, meaning they are high in fat (20 grams to be exact) with only 3 grams of net carbs.
Perfect Keto Bar ($40): Almond butter brownies that are actually keto? Sign us up. Perfect Keto bars are loaded with 19 grams of fat and star grass-fed collagen as the protein source.
