If you're on the keto diet, you likely find yourself returning to the same staples — bacon, avocado, coconut oil — to make high-fat, high-protein meals. To save time and money on frequent trips to the grocery store, grab those key keto ingredients at Costco. Here are 12 products you can use in everything from breakfast to dinner to snacks. Be sure to check out the produce and cold foods sections too for good deals and convenient preparations of veggies and meat.
Kirkland Signature Crumbled Bacon ($12): The keto diet isn't necessarily an open invitation to pour handfuls of bacon into your mouth, but this bag of salty, crumbly goodness makes it easy to give soups, salads, and dips a bit more flavor.
Cello Parmesan Whisps ($12): This single-ingredient snack packs the crunchiness of chips and the saltiness of Parmesan into cute little disks. You won't even miss Lay's.
Frutto d'Italia Pitted Green Olives Snack Pouch ($13): Low-carb, high-fat olives are the perfect zero-prep keto snack, and they'd be quite handsome on a keto charcuterie board with meats and cheese.
Jack Link's Big Beef Jerky Stick ($13): If you tend to get hungry while trapped on the freeway, make sure to stock your bag with this beef jerky. Many on the market have tons of sugar — this one is on the lower end, with just 1 gram per stick.
Kirkland Signature Hickory Smoked Pulled Pork ($14): Throw a budget-friendly salad or lettuce wrap together in minutes with this pre-cooked smoky pork.
Kirkland Signature Wild Alaskan Pink Salmon ($15): Before you squirm at the idea of canned salmon, think of all the ways you can quickly transform it into a delicious meal — like crispy, flavorful salmon cakes topped with a creamy remoulade, for one.
Divine Health Keto Zone MCT Oil Powder ($20): Medium-chain triglycerides fuel your brain and kickstart your metabolism. Add a scoop of this tasty coconut MCT oil powder to your coffee or keto smoothie and you'll be more likely to think clearly and burn fat that day.
Kirkland Signature Organic Coconut Oil ($20): Chances are, you're using keto-friendly coconut oil to whip up tasty salmon and vegetable dishes. This 84-ounce jar ensures you won't run out of oil mid-meal prep.
Kirkland Signature Unsalted Mixed Nuts ($21): This big ol' jar o' nuts means you'll always be prepared for any kind of snackmergency.
Manitou Organic Coconut Flour ($30): Can't give up bread or sweets? You don't have to. Use low-carb coconut flour for all of your baking needs.
Mayorga USDA Organic Chia Seeds ($30): High-fiber chia seeds help curb hunger. Use them in a low-carb chia pudding for a breakfast that won't leave you hangry by 10am.
Kirkland Signature Protein Bars ($40): These chewy bars are sweetened with erythritol instead of sugar, which makes them an ideal keto meal replacement when real breakfast just isn't in the cards. We're very fond of the brownie and cookie dough flavors, which taste just like the real thing, minus the sugar.
