The Keto Snacks Cookbook is a physical cookbook that contains 75 low-carb, high-fat, and sugar-free snack recipes suitable for those following a ketogenic, paleo, or low-carb diet. The cookbook is authored by Stephanie Laska, a certified holistic nutritionist and author of several bestselling books on the ketogenic diet.
The book begins with an introduction to the ketogenic diet and how it works to help readers understand the principles behind the recipes. Laska explains how the ketogenic diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet that puts the body into a state of ketosis, where it burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. She also provides tips for those who are new to the diet, including how to calculate their macros and how to manage the "keto flu," a set of symptoms that some people experience when starting the diet.
The cookbook is then divided into six sections, each focusing on a different type of snack. The sections include:
Savory Snacks: This section includes recipes for snacks such as Parmesan crisps, bacon-wrapped asparagus, and zucchini fries.
Sweet Snacks: This section includes recipes for treats such as chocolate truffles, peanut butter cups, and lemon bars.
Snacks on the Go: This section includes recipes for snacks that are easy to pack and take with you, such as trail mix, beef jerky, and deviled eggs.
Dips and Spreads: This section includes recipes for dips and spreads to pair with your favorite veggies or crackers, such as avocado hummus, spinach artichoke dip, and pimento cheese.
Drinks and Smoothies: This section includes recipes for low-carb beverages, such as green smoothies, bulletproof coffee, and keto hot chocolate.
Basic Recipes: This section includes recipes for staples such as almond flour, coconut flour, and homemade keto mayonnaise.
Each recipe includes a full list of ingredients, step-by-step instructions, and a nutritional breakdown. The nutritional breakdown includes the number of calories, fat, protein, and carbohydrates per serving, as well as the net carbs (total carbs minus fiber).
One of the standout features of this cookbook is the beautiful photography that accompanies each recipe. The photos are crisp, colorful, and really showcase the deliciousness of the snacks. The layout of the book is also easy to navigate, with clear section headers and a detailed table of contents.
Another great feature of this cookbook is the variety of recipes. Whether you're looking for something savory or sweet, something to take on the go or enjoy at home, there's a recipe for you in this book. The recipes are also easy to follow and don't require any special equipment or hard-to-find ingredients.
In terms of the recipes themselves, there are some real winners in this book. The bacon-wrapped asparagus was a standout for me – it's a simple recipe that's packed with flavor and makes a great appetizer or snack. The chocolate truffles were another favorite – they're rich and decadent, but still keto-friendly. The almond flour pancakes were also a hit – they're fluffy, filling, and a great option for breakfast or brunch.
That being said, not every recipe was a hit. The lemon bars, for example, were a bit too tart for my taste, and the coconut flour crackers were a bit too dense. However, these are minor quibbles – overall, the recipes in this book are delicious and satisfying.
One thing to note is that some of the recipes in the cookbook require a bit more time and effort than others. For example, some of the recipes require you to make your own sauces or dressings, which can add to the prep time. However, Laska provides tips for how to streamline the process, such as making extra sauce or dressing ahead of time to use for multiple recipes.
It's also worth noting that some of the recipes in this cookbook may not be suitable for those with certain dietary restrictions or preferences. For example, many of the recipes contain dairy or nuts, so those with allergies or intolerances may need to make substitutions. Additionally, some of the recipes call for artificial sweeteners, which may not be desirable for those following a more natural approach to the ketogenic diet.
Overall, The Keto Snacks Cookbook is a great resource for anyone following a ketogenic, paleo, or low-carb diet who is looking for delicious and satisfying snack options. The variety of recipes, clear instructions, and beautiful photography make it a joy to use, and the nutritional breakdown for each recipe is a helpful tool for those tracking their macros.
While not every recipe may be a hit for everyone, the cookbook offers enough options to keep things interesting and to satisfy a variety of tastes. Whether you're looking for something savory or sweet, a snack to take on the go or enjoy at home, there's something in this cookbook for everyone.

Midnight
60 seconds… 59 seconds… Time was slipping through his fingers, though he clawed at the falling grains of sand, he could not stop the hourglass from flowing. Around him, the silence was deafening. He had taken over every screen in the command centre, putting the terrible seconds before the terrified eyes of his friends and comrades.
