Keto breakfast foods at Woodman’s
SoLo Carb Bread - Stone Bank Baking Co
4gr net carb per slice
Varieties: Rye, Wheat, White
Price: I forgot to take a picture of the shelf :(
My thoughts: The bread itself is fine but I find the slice pretty small for 4gr net carbs. This was the first bread I came across so I loved it at first but then I tried SOLA and Aldi’s Zero Carb bread and felt like I got more bang for my carbs ;) A slice of this SoLo bread is about the size of a women’s palm. If you buy it: It freezes really well. Just pop a slice in the toaster when you’re ready to eat it
Lakanto Maple Flavored Syrup
1gr net carb
Sweetened with monkfruit
Gluten free and vegan
Price: $6.99
My thoughts: I really like it! I had a bit on SOLA bread for breakfast and the taste was on point. It is not as thick as regular maple syrup.
Birch Benders Pancake & Waffle Mix
Keto Chocolate Chip - 6gr net carb per serving of 2 pancakes / waffles
Keto Plain - 5gr net carbs per serving of 2 pancakes / waffles
Vegan and gluten free
You only need to add water to the mix
Price: $6.99
My thoughts: It’s ok. I think there are some great diy recipes out there but this option is very convenient with just needing wate
Justin’s Classic Almond Butter - in the jar
2gr net carbs per serving of 2 Tbsp - 32gr
Gluten free and vegan
Varieties: They also have peanut butter which is fine on Keto. Their flavored options with vanilla tend to be higher in carbs
Price: $8.69 for 16 oz jar
My thoughts: This is my go to almond butter. I first tried them in the individual portions and it makes a great Keto to go snack. Really filling.
NuttZo - Keto Seed Butter
2gr net carbs per serving of 2 Tbsp - 33gr
Paleo, Vegan
Varieties: Only the Keto Butter is Keto friendly as far as I know
Price: $10.69 for a 12oz jar
My thoughts: I have not tried it. Seems a bit pricey!
Polaner - Preserves / Jam
2gr net carbs
These have maltodextrin which is a dirty keto. More on what that means here
Varieties: My store had Apricot, Orange Marmelade, Seedless Blackberry, Raspberry
Price: $3.49
My thoughts: I have not tried this.
Smuckers - Sugar Free Jam
3gr net carbs per serving of 1 tbsp
Vegan
Varieties: Strawberry, Peach, Raspberry - may vary by store
Price: $2.69 - 3.29
My thoughts: I’ve tried the Strawberry one in the past and remember liking it. I’ve since moved to making my own ‘jam’ my mashing strawberries and spreading them on keto bread
Keto lunch and dinner foods at Woodman’s
Go Avo - Avocado Spread
0gr net carbs
Soy and gluten free
Varieties: Plain, Jalapeño and Basil
Price: $6.39 for 8oz
My thoughts: I have not tried this yet
Crepini - Egg thins
0gr net carbs
Varieties: Egg thins with gluten free grains, egg thins with cauliflower, egg thins with tumeric & sweet potato
Gluten and dairy free
Price: $4.29
My thoughts: Better value for money than Folios Cheese Wraps. but the Egg thins are smaller than regular tortillas. They’re ok to try and then see if you like them
NUCO Coconut Wraps
4gr net carbs
Gluten free and vegan
Varieties: Original at my store
Price: $6.49
My thoughts: I have not tried these
Miracle Noodle - Shirataki Pasta
0gr net carbs
Varieties: Spinach Angel Hair, Fettucine, Rice
Gluten Free and Vegan
Price: $2.69 for 7oz
My thoughts: For me all these Shirataki noodles taste the same so grab which ever brand you find in a store. As long as you rinse the pasta really well it is a good substitute. So rinse first, then drop in hot water for 3-4 minutes. It’s already cooked, you just need to heat it up and enjoy with carbonara sauce, low carb marinara or bolognese. You can also try stir frying them.
Nasoya Pasta Zero
~ 1 gr net carbs per serving of 2/3 cup - 113gr
In the refrigerated area
Made of Shirataki

Varieties: Ham & Cheese Omelet, Crustless Chicken Pot Pie, Beef Merlot, Beef Teriyaki-Stir Fry, Chicken Margerita and more depending on stores
Price: $3.89
My thoughts: When I started eating Low Carb and Keto I bought this to help me figure out what is allowed and what isn’t and to make mealtime easier. I think for this they are perfect. If you’re new to Keto, try them! I used to really enjoy Beef Merlot and Chicken Margerita. The portions are on the smaller side.
G Hughes Sugar Free Sauces
~2gr net carbs per serving of 2 Tbsp (30gr)
Varieties: BBQ Sauce line with Hickory, Maple Brown, Honey and more. They also have Teriyaki sauces, Marinades and Salad dressings

Keto baking products available at Woodman’s
Lily’s Sweets - Dark Chocolate Baking Bar
5gr net carbs per serving of 1 piece (14gr), 8 servings per bar
Vegan
Price: $4.69
My thoughts: I have not tried the baking bar. I usually use their regular bars for baking or very very dark chocolate

Sweetener used is erythritol and it’s sweetened with stevia
Certified gluten free
Varieties: Dark, Milk Chocolate and Semi-Sweet at my store

Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener

Price: $5.49 for Classic and Golden for 8.29oz. They also have a 2x sweeter one in light blue packaging which is 11.99 for 16oz
My thoughts: I have not tried baking with it yet
Swerve Sweetener
4gr net carbs
Gluten free and vegan
Erythritol
Varieties: Granular, Confectioners, Brown ‘sugar’
Price: $4.99 for a 12oz bag
My thoughts: I really like Swerve. As I have gotten used to eating less sweet I usually half the amount of sweetener I use for recipes. I use the confectioners more often and the brown one has been nice for cocktails
Swerve Sweets - Cake & Cookie Mixes
6gr net carbs per serving of a cookie (1 oz) - 12 servings per bag, 3gr net carb per serving of the Chocolate Cake mix
Sweetened with Swerve
Gluten and Grain free

Sweet Keto snacks available at Woodman’s
Halo Top Ice cream - Keto series
Up to 8gr net carbs per pint
Make sure to pick the one that says ‘Keto series’ on the front right corner and the edge of the lid
Varieties at my store: While chocolatey macadamia, chocolate cheesecake, banana cream pie, peanut butter chocolate
Price: $3.89
My thoughts: I really wanted to love it but I didn^t. Enlightened continues to be my favorite keto friendly ice cream followed by Rebel
Rebel Ice Cream
4-7gr net carbs per pint
Varieties: Strawberry, Peanut Butter Fudge, Butter Pecan, Vanilla, Chocolate, Cookie Dough, Black Raspberry, Mint Chip, Coffee Chip, Cherry Chip, Triple Chocolate, Almond Coconut Swirl, Cookies and Cream, Salted Caramel - not each store carries all flavors. Most common ones are marked in bold
Price: $5.49
My thoughts: This was my go to Keto ice cream for over a year and until I tried Enlightened. Now I’m partial to Enlightened. For all these ice creams I would microwave the pint for 30 seconds (after removing the lid and all foil) which makes it soft and creamy. Favorite Rebel flavors were Butter Pecan, Peanut Butter Fudge and Cookie Dough. I wasn’t overly impressed by Black Raspberry ( not fruity enough) and Salted Caramel ( could be more intense)
Enlightened Keto Ice cream
1gr net carb per serving
You can easily spot the Keto ones by the lid that says Keto
Gluten free
Varieties at my store: Butter Pecan, Mint Chocolate Chunk, Glazed Donut, Red Velvet
Price: $4.99
My thoughts: My absolute favorite in general is the new Peanut Butter Brownie Dough. Next is Butter Pecan. I’ve tried Red Velvet and Peanut Butter Fudge which were nice. Place them in the microwave for 15-30 seconds and they are perfectly creamy
KETO Pint
~3gr net carb per serving - may vary by flavor
Varieties at my store: Chocolate, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Mint Chip, Peanut Butter Cup, Coffee
Price: $5.69
My thoughts: I love the bars that they sell at Costco. I bought the pint of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and ended up being disappointed. It could be much richer and flavorful
Krunchy Melts - Sugar Free Meringue
0gr net carbs
Varieties: Only the Sugar Free Vanilla Meringue is Keto / Low Carb
Price: $4.69
My thoughts: These are the real deal- They have the crunch of meringue and could be used for baking too when you need meringue in a base or so
Two Good - Yogurt
~3gr net carb per yogurt
Gluten free
Varieties: Different stores have different flavors. Two Good comes in Plain, Vanilla, Strawberry, Raspberry, Coconut, Blueberry, Cherry, Mixed Berries, Peach
Price: $1.39
My thoughts: I love Two Good for flavored yogurts. I always have some in my fridge and my favorites are Vanilla and Blueberry. I especially love eating them with Sola granola .
Lily’s Sweets - Chocolate bars
Net carbs depend on what flavor you eat. From 3 net carbs for the Dark Chocolate Almond per serving of 40 gr which is half the bar to higher for e.g. the rice crispy one which falls more into the dirty Keto / Low Carb / If It Fits Your Marco approach (IIFYM)
All Lily’s Sweets products are certified gluten-free, some are also vegan
Varieties: Salted Caramel, Sea Salt, Almond Dark Chocolate, Coconut Dark Chocolate, Crispy Rice Dark Chocolate, Original Dark Chocolate, Hazelnut Milk Chocolate, Salted Almond Milk Chocolate
Price: $3.69
My thoughts: My personal favorites are Almond Dark Chocolate and Hazelnut Milk Chocolate. This was my go to chocolate for the first 2 years of doing keto. They I tried ChocZero and now I’m torn between the two. Check the discount section for a discount on your next ChocZero order!
Lily’s Sweets - Milk Chocolate Style Peanut Butter Cups, Covered Almonds, Peanuts and Caramels
Watch out with the above! Not all fit a Keto way of eating as they are higher in carbs
The Milk Chocolate Style Peanut Butter Cups can fit Keto / Low Carb with about 5gr net carbs per serving of 2 cups
The Caramels come in closer to 7gr net carbs per serving of 1 oz / 28 gr
All Lily’s Sweets products are certified gluten-free, some are also vegan
Price: $5.69
My thoughts: I tried the Milk Chocolate Style Peanut Butter Cups and was a bit underwhelmed. They could be more intense on the Peanut Butter side as well as more chocolate-y. I’d rather stick to the Lily’s chocolate bars.
Quest Nutrition - Bars
4gr net carbs per bar for the Cookies & Cream bar
Gluten Free
Varieties: Too many to list. From Mint Chocolate to White Chocolate Raspberry, Cinnamon Roll, Blueberry, Birthday Cake, Double Chocolate Chunk to Vanilla Caramel and Chocolate Peanut Butter
Price: $2.19
My thoughts: I’ve tried a few different Quest Nutrition bars and so far have not found one I like. I’ve heard that if you briefly microwave the blueberry muffin one it tastes like a freshly baked muffin
Quest Nutrition - Keto Protein Cookies
4-5gr net carbs per cookie
Varieties: Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, Double Chocolate
Price: $1.89 for a cookie
My thoughts: These weren’t for me. I’ve seen people microwave or toast them and say it is delicious
Slimfast - Keto Fat Bombs
2gr net carbs per serving
Varieties: Peanut Butter Cups & Caramel Nut Clusters
The Slimfast Keto line also has meal bars and shakes
Gluten free
Price: $8.99 for a box of 14
My thoughts: I really liked the Peanut Butter Cups when I tried them. Very positively surprised.
They also carry other Slimfast Keto products like shakes and meal bars which I have not tried yet. They are priced between $8.99 - 11.99
South Beach Diet - Keto Cookie Bites
4gr net carbs
Sweetened with Erythritol and Stevia
Varieties: My store had Double Chocolate - they also have Peanut Butter
Price: $9.99 for a box of 5 packages of cookie bites
My thoughts: I have not tried these and to be honest have never come across this brand prior to this shopping trip
Atkins - Bars and Shakes
~4gr net carbs per bar
Varieties: Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bar, Caramel Chocolate Peanut Nougat, Chocolate Chip and many more
Price: $5.89 for a package of 5 bars

Lenny & Larry’s - Keto cookie
6gr net carb per cookie
Gluten Free
Varieties: Chocolate Chip, Cocunut, Peanut Butter
Price: $1.89 per cookie
My thoughts: I have not tried these yet
Smart Sweets - Keto candy!
Watch out with carb count here too and the serving size
The new Peach rings come in at 7 gr net carbs per serving of a bag of 11-12 rings. 42gr total carbs - 24gr fiber and - 11gr allulose. Allulose is a tricky one. It is proven that it does not raise blood sugar level but opinions still diverge for Keto on whether it can be fully substracted to reach net carbs or not. Sweet fish are 9gr net carb per bag.
Gluten-free
Varieties: Peach Rings, Sweet Fish, Sour Blast, Fruity Gummy Bears, Sour Gummy Bears
Price: $2.89
My thoughts: I tried the ‘old’ peach rings and would usually only eat one or 2 rings. They were tasty and definitely reminded me of ‘real’ peach rings. Candy is not something I miss much though so I haven’t tried the other varieties yet or the new recipe of the peach rings
Savory Keto Snacks available at Woodman’s
Hilo Life Keto Friendly Low Carb Snack Mix
3-4 g net carbs
Varieties: Super Cheesy Crispy Cheddar Cheese & Almonds, Really Ranchy Crispy Gouda Cheese & Pecans and Piece-A-Pizza Crispy Mozzarella Cheese & Walnuts

Moon Cheese
1gr net carb
Varieties: Cheddar Believe it, Oh my Gouda, Cheddar Bacon Crazy, Garlickin’ Parmesan, Get Pepper Jacked
Price: $2.99 for a 2oz bag
My thoughts: I really like these but if I’m left to decide between Umland and Moon Cheese, I would pick Umland’s
Gim Me Organic - Seaweed Snacks
0gr net carbs
Varieties; My store has Sea Salt and Toasted Sesame
Price: $1.69
My thoughts: I have not tried any Seaweed snacks yet
EPIC Pork Rinds, Meat sticks and bites
Carbs vary from 0 - a few more net carbs - check the label as some flavors may be sweetened
Varieties: Various Pork Rinds available and meat bars with chicken, beef, venison, bison, turkey, salmon and more
Price: $2.99 for the meat sticks, $3.69 for the Pork Rinds and the Bites varied in price
My thoughts: I tried their Pork Rinds once which were nice but I didn’t feel like they tasted much different to other brands
Quest Nutrition - Protein Chips
4gr net carbs per bag
Varieties: Chilli Lime (Amazing and Spicey!), Loaded Taco, Ranch, Nacho Cheese (another favorite), BBQ, Sour Cream and Onion
Price: $2.19 per bag
My thoughts: I LOVE these. Huge fan! I always have them in the house and either eat them as a side or make loaded Nachos, use them as breading or come up with some other way to enjoy them
Fit Joy - Grain Free Puffs
3gr net carbs per bag
Varieties: White Cheddar, Nacho Cheese, Honey Sriracha
Price: $2.69 per bag
My thoughts: I wasn’t a fan of White Cheddar but really like Nacho Cheese. Honey Sriracha had a bit more carbs so I skipped that
Blue Diamond Almonds
2gr net carbs per serving of 1oz (28 nuts)
Varieties: Dill Pickle! bold Wasabi & Soy Sauce, Smokehouse, BBQ, Lightly salted and more - check macros and eat your way through all the ones that fit your macros
Price: $3.49 for a 6oz container
My thoughts: I love almonds as a snack. For salted and roasted ones I tend to buy them at Aldi but for more flavor the Blue Diamond ones are great. I do struggle with portion control though so try to not buy them too often. When traveling, I always have almonds on me though. Great way to get fat in.
Gerber - Lil Crunchies - Didn’t expect this one? Well….it’s Keto friendly :D
5gr net carbs per serving of 16 (!) pieces
Varieties: Mild Cheddar, Garden Tomato
Price: $1.99
My thoughts: I’ve yet to try these. I’ve been hesitant as I’m afraid I’ll love them so much that I will always buy them. Especially at that price! These are dirty Keto through as they are made of whole grains and corn

Price: $1.69
