Latest update: January 20, 2021 with the addition of the new Crepini wraps
Another grocery store that is embracing Keto. In February 2020 , Aldi USA ran an ad and advertised Keto products in their own separate section. Amongst them: Keto ice cream! First as a weekly find and now as a staple item.
This wasn’t the first time Aldi USA jumped on the Keto wave though.
Back in 2019 they surprised us when they released Zero Carb bread. It was sold out within hours which led to Aldi adding it as one of their every day items a few months later.
Affordable Keto staples at Aldi USA
While the specifically Keto products vary by season, store and region, Aldi overall is a great place to shop for staples. Check out the post on Keto On A Budget that includes a 1-week meal plan and a matching Aldi shopping list for all these everyday Keto friendly foods like Bacon, Cream, Queso etc
Keto-labeled and other specifically Keto friendly products
As the other blog posts on Keto at Wholefoods, Keto at Walmart and Keto at Costco, the specifically Keto products will be split by:
Keto breakfast food
Keto lunch / dinner food
Keto baking products
Sweet Keto snacks
Savory Keto snacks
Listing their net carbs, varieties, price and thoughts on how I like it - if tested - or how I use them. Prices will be from an Aldi USA store in the Chicagoland area.

Keto breakfast food available at Aldi
Two Good - Yogurt
3g net carbs
Varieties: Vanilla and Strawberry
Price: $1.24
My thoughts: These are a great option if you’d like a flavorite Keto friendly yogurt. In general this brand carries many more flavors like cherry, blueberry peach. I used to love these but after doing a month without sweetener they had an aftertaste the next time I tried them. I never noticed that before and I was eating 2-3 / week
L’Oven Fresh - Zero Net Carb Bread
0gr net carb per serving
Varieties: Multigrain and Wheat
Price: $3.49
My thoughts: I’m in love! This is definitely in the ‘dirty’ Keto category (learn more about dirty versus lazy and strict Keto in Keto101) and to be honest: I couldn’t care less. This bread is great. I buy a pack. Freeze it. Eat 1-2 slices per week. EIther as a Grilled Cheese or for breakfast. It’s perfect…for me!
Keto lunch & dinner foods available at Aldi
Fit & Active - Low Carb Tortillas
4gr net carb per tortilla
Price: $1.99
My thoughts: These are great for fajita night. With 4gr net carbs I usually eat one and then switch to lettuce shells. These freeze really well if you don’t see yourself eating a pack. My non-Keto family likes these better than regular tortillas.
Folios Cheese Wraps - ALDI FIND (temporary)
Regionally available
0-1gr net carb per serving. The front packaging shows 1gr net carb while the nutrition info shows 0gr net carbs :/
Varieties: Generally these come in Cheddar, Jarlsberg and Parmesan. Aldi tends to carry Cheddar though
Price: $4.89 per package of 4
My thoughts: I’ve tried these and while I like them I find them pricey. You can achieve the same thing by piling up shredded cheese on parchment paper and baking it until it melts. I prefer lettuce wraps or low carb wraps and adding cheese inside
Crepini - Egg thins - ALDI FIND (temporary) - NEW PACKAGING
These are egg-based wraps made with cauliflower <- when in the green packaging. The yellow packaging is made with gluten free grains.
0gr net carbs
Price: $4.49 for 6 large wraps
My thoughts: I love that these are 0g net carbs. I have not tried them since the repackage which I believe also came with a revisited recipe / formula.
Earthly Grains - 90 second Cauliflower Rice
This is riced cauliflower that comes in microwaveable pouches.
Could be a seasonal find - the frozen version is available year round though
3gr net carbs
Price: $2.69
My thoughts: I have not tried this yet.
Season’s Choice - Riced Cauliflower - FROZEN!
1gr net carb per serving
Varieties: Plain - green packaging, or garlic - brown packaging
Price: $1.89
My thoughts: This is my go to riced cauliflower. I always have some in my freezer. Perfect to quickly stir up in a pan with butter to have an easy side
Specially Selected - Tomato Sauce
5gr net carb per serving for the Marinara one
Varieties: Only the Marinara one is lower in carbs
Price: $ TBD
My thoughts: This is a staple in our pantry. I always go easy on the sauce but for a bit of extra flavor I really like it
Mac’s Chicharrones - Pork Skins - ALDI FIND (temporary)
Seasonal!
0gr net carbs per serving
Gluten free
Varieties: Bar-B-Q or Salt & Pepper
Price: $1.75 for a 5 oz bag
My thoughts: Pork rinds are a great way to eat something crunchy. I also love crushing them up and use them as breading.
Keto Baking Products available at Aldi
Baker’s Corner - Almond Flour
1gr net carbs per serving of 2 tbsp (15gr)
Price: $6.19 for 16oz
My thoughts: I get my Almond Flour at Costco as they have the best price per ounce
I’m consciously not listing sweeteners for baking here as Aldi only has Stevia and I do not have good experience with baking with Stevia because of its strong taste. For sweeteners I would recommend Swerve or Monfruit that you can find in the Keto Anywhere Amazon Shop.
Sweet Keto snacks available at Aldi

Elevation Bar - Keto
3g net carbs
Varieties: Chocolate Almond Brownie, Chocolate Coconut Macaroon and Salted Caramel Pecan
Price: $5.99
My thoughts: I have not tried these yet
Benton’s - Keto Cookies - ALDI FIND (temporary)
0g net carbs for 1oz serving of chocolate cip and 1gr net carbs for snickerdoodle
Varieties: Chocolate Chip and Snickerdoodle
Price: $2.99
My thoughts: Rumor had it that these were the same as the HighKey Cookies. I did the direct comparison (see IG and TikTok) and found that they are not the same. These are 0gr net carbs while HighKey’s are 2gr net carbs. These are slighlty larger, thicker, less sweet and lighter in color. I liked these better than the HighKey one. Better crunch with the added thickness and no cooling effect.
Elevation Bars - Carb Conscious
2-3gr net carb per bar
Varieties: Look for the ones with the dark blue banner on top saying ‘Carb Conscious’: Coconut Almond, Caramel Chocolat peanut Nougat, Caramel Double Chocolate Crunch, Caramel Nut, Chocolate Coconut, Cranberry Almond, Peanut Butter Fudge Crisp
Price: $4.99
My thoughts: Eat with caution. These have Maltilol as a sweetener which can have laxative effects. I’ve tried all bars back when I started Low Carb and liked the Caramel Nut as it reminded me of Snickers. As I switched to Keto I stopped buying them as I didn’t feel like they fit and I distanced myself from Maltilol.
Sundae Shop - Keto Ice Cream Pint
5gr net carb per serving of 2/3 cup
Varieties: Cookie Dough, Mint Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter Fudge
Price: $3.99
My thoughts: It is higher in carbs than e.g. Enlightened or Rebel but also $1-2 cheaper. If you microwave the pint for 30 seconds it gets a nice creamy texture. I think it’s worth a try to see if you like it and then decide if you want to rebuy. These initially launched in February and are coming back to stores as of April 2020.
Sundae Shop - Low fat ice cream bar
6-8gr net carbs - better for Low Carb!
Varieties: Salted Caramel Swirl, Mint Chip with Fudge Swirl
Price: $2.99 for a box of 5
My thoughts: I have not tried these
Werther’s - Sugar Free Candy - ALDI FIND (temporary)
0-3g net carbs for 5 candies
Varieties: Caramel Hard Candy, Chewy Caramel, Caramel Chocolate
Price: $1.99
My thoughts: With the Chewy ones, beware! The first ingredient is Maltitol which is known for its laxative effects. While these are delicious taste wise I would keep it at one candy once in a while.
Savory Keto Snacks available at Aldi
Savoritz Cheese Crisps
0gr net carb per serving
Varieties: Plain Parmesan or Jalapeño Parmesan
Price: $2.89
My thoughts: I’m not a huge fan of Parmesan Chips and prefer Cheddar. I still went ahead and tries the Jalapeño ones though as I love anything spicey. I was a bit disappointed that these aren’t spicey and also don’t taste like Jalapeño much. Price-wise these are pretty good but I’ll stick to e.g. Moon Cheese or Umland’s where I can get Cheddar or Gouda or so.
Park Street Deli - Jalapeño Artichoke Dip
3gr net carbs per serving of 2 tbsp
Price: $ to be confirmed
My thoughts: I love it. It’s a really nice tip and worth the carbs for me. I like to dip cucumber or zucchini sticks in it. Or Quest nutrition chips.
Southern Grove - Whole Almonds
3gr net carb
Varieties: Unsalted, Roasted, Roasted and Salted
Price: $5.75 for 14oz
My thoughts: I love all the almonds from Aldi. Unfortunately my ability to portion control isn’t great so I’ve had to stop buying them :/
Simms Meat Snack Sticks
0-1gr net carb per serving
Varieties: Mild and Original Smocked Snack Sticks, Beef or Turkey Snack Stacks, Sliced Hard Salami
These are by the pretzels and chips and not in the refrigerated section
Price: Between $2.39 to 4.99 depending on the variety
My thoughts: These are great as on the go snack to take with when leaving the house. Be it for trips, plane travel, work, kids sports games - any occasion really
Stryve - Beef Bilton Mini Sticks
0gr net carbs
Varieties: Original and Hatch Green Chilli
Price: $5.99 for 2.5oz
My thoughts: I have not tried these. I have read from others though that they were not impressed by the taste
