    Top Keto Diet Pantry Must Have Items. You've started the Keto Diet and now you know you need to stock your pantry with great products that will help you to feel satisfied while giving up your favorite carbohydrates.  The answer comes with our great pantry must have list for this specific diet.  There are so many great items that you will love having on hand, but also basic foods to grab in the grocery store that create delicious meals in no time.

    Keto Diet Pantry Must Haves are easy to figure out using our list!

    Top Keto Diet Pantry Must-Have Items

    Everyone needs a few items they know will fit into any Keto Diet meal.  I love knowing that if I keep these items on hand in the pantry, freezer, and refrigerator I can always stay on the diet without cheating or going off track.

    Protein:  The base of this diet is to focus on quality proteins instead of carbohydrates.  This list is the perfect place to begin. While it is a higher fat diet, I prefer to focus the fats in the diet on natural things over fatty meats.  That means my list of proteins is typically leaner than others.

    • Salmon (buy fresh Wild Caught Salmon and portion to freeze for easy meals)
    • Tuna (canned and fresh)
    • Shrimp
    • Eggs
    • Fresh nuts (my favorites are sunflower seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, pecans, walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds and macadamia nuts)
    • Turkey breasts and ground turkey
    • Pork chops
    • Flank steak, Sirloin, Chuck Roast, Lean Ground beef
    • Chicken breasts, chicken thighs, chicken drumsticks, and ground chicken

    Dairy:  Dairy is important for overall health.  I prefer to recommend organic or fresh/raw milk products.  You may also prefer to utilize non-dairy products like almond milk or cashew milk for calcium and protein.  These items are my personal favorites to keep on hand.

    • Butter
    • Heavy Cream
    • Sour Cream
    • Cream Cheese
    • Ghee
    • Sharp Cheddar
    • Parmesan

    Vegetables:  We need the nutrients found in vegetables, but many are concerned since they contain a lot of carbohydrates. The main concern with the Keto Diet is not in the carbohydrates themselves but the type you consume.  These naturally occurring carbohydrates are nutrient-dense and good choices.

    • Broccoli
    • Cauliflower
    • Asparagus
    • Cabbage
    • Bell Pepper
    • Tomato
    • Onions
    • Peas
    • Radish
    • Turnip
    • Spinach
    • Squash
    • Zucchini

    Fats:  Healthy fats are definitely needed for overall success with the Keto Diet.  These are my personal favorites to keep on hand. I also include some of the best fats under dairy and protein.

    • Coconut oil, avocado oil, sesame oil, olive oil
    • Avocado
    • Olives
    • Coconut flakes
    • Flax seed oil

    Pantry Staples:  There are great items you can grab to keep in your pantry and have for easy meals.  These are our favorite options to have for creating those special treats.

    • Stevia or Swerve
    • Coconut flour
    • Sugar-Free Ketchup
    • Sugar-Free Gelatin/Jello
    • Yellow Mustard
    • Pickles (avoid bread and butter or sweet)
    • Unsweetened cocoa powder
    • Natural nut butters (no sugar added)

      A stock up item must is "thicken it" which is an approved Keto thickener for soups and lots of riced cauliflower, which will be your base if you want bread like products or crusts. You will use a ton as one for cauliflower head makes four pieces cauliflower bread. I personally believe that's a good green powder for smoothie is important. I don't need the variety as I did before so I feel like that helps a lot. Smoothies are great with almond milk and a couple tablespoons of cream!

      Could cucumbers be added to the carb list?
