Cibo Vita's Nature's Garden brand launched a Keto Snack Mix that combines various nuts and seeds with probiotic cheese balls to support balanced, healthy snacking. The snack with almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds and macadamia nuts also includes cheddar cheese puffs with a probiotic ingredient that's said to contribute to weight loss.
One of the main challenges of following the popular ketogenic diet is maintaining high-fat, low-carb eating habits to support ketosis, or the state where fat provides fuel for the body. As it can be a challenge for keto dieters to meet the specific needs of the strict diet with regular snacks, especially when it comes to avoiding certain ingredients, diet-specific snacks are emerging to support specific nutritional needs.
