Notice something in the above?

How about that listing of what ways of eating Fresh Thyme supports and how in 3rd place it says ‘Keto’??? I get SO excited when I see retailers reference Keto. If that isn’t proof that Keto is here to stay, what is!

Never heard of Fresh Thyme? You might live outside the Midwest! Fresh Thyme has locations in Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Nebraska.

I would classify it as an slightly more affordable Whole Foods and as their description hints at: VERY Keto-Friendly!

A great addition to our US stores Keto Shopping lists.

As always, you’ll find below a list of what to keep your eyes open for at Fresh Thyme split by

  • Keto breakfast food

  • Keto lunch / dinner food

  • Keto baking products

  • Sweet Keto snacks

  • Savory Keto snacks

Listing net carbs, price, varieties and my thoughts - if I’ve tried it.

Don’t live in the Midwest? No problem. Check out the other Blog posts about shopping Keto & Low Carb at US grocery stores and retailers like Target, Walmart, Whole Foods, Aldi and Costco!

Keto breakfast at Fresh Thyme

Keto Justin's Almond Butter
  • 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: $10.99

    • 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.

Noosh Almond Butter Fresh Thyme Keto
  • noosh - Almond Butter

    • 1gr net carbs

    • Gluten free

    • Varieties: Birthday Cake and Coffee - not all are Keto friendly! Make sure to check the nutrition info.

    • Price: $1.49

    • My thoughts: I haven’t tried this yet

Keto Egg BItes Breakfast Fresh Thyme
  • Trois Petits Cochon - Three Little Pigs - Sous Vide Egg Bite

    • 1gr net carb

    • These can be microwaved to heat up or heated in the Toaster Oven

    • Varieties: Prosciutto & Gruyère, Spinach Fet

    • Price: $1.99

    • My thoughts: I have not tried these yet

Keto lunch & dinner at Fresh Thyme

Keto pasta shirataki House food Fresh Thyme
  • House Foods - Shirataki noodles

    • 0 gr net carbs

    • Gluten free, vegan

    • In the refrigerated section

    • Varieties: Spaghetti or Fettucini

    • Price: $1.99 for 8oz

    • My thoughts: I have not tried this brand but have tried others. 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.

Keto BBQ Sauces G Hughes Sugar Free Fresh Thyme
  • 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 and Salad dressings

    • Gluten free

    • Price: $3.99

    • My thoughts: BBQ Honey was not my thing. I loved Teriyaki though.

Fresh Thyme Keto Folios Cheese Wrap
  • Folios Cheese Wraps

    • 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. Most stores tend to carry Cheddar though

    • Price: $4.99

    • 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

Egglife Wraps Fresh Thyme Keto
  • Egglife - Egg wraps

    • 0-1gr net carb

    • Varieties: Plain, Southwest, Rye and Italian Style

    • Grain free, dairy free

    • Price: $5.99

    • My thoughts: Great very low carb wrap option. I’ve used them as wrap. Cut them up and stir fried them as Pasta. Used them for Pizza. These are currently only available in the Chicagoland area. These might only be available at Chicagoland Fresh Thyme Grocery Stores.

Keto baking products at Fresh Thyme

Lily's Dark Chocolate Baking Chips Fresh Thyme
  • Lily’s Sweets - Milk, Semi-Sweet & Dark Chocolate Chip Baking Chips

    • ~ 2 gr net carbs for a serving of 26 chips (14gr / 0.5 oz)

    • Sweetener used is erythritol and it’s sweetened with stevia

    • Certified gluten free

    • Price: $7.99 for the 9oz bag

    • My thoughts: I have not tried these yet but am generally a big fan of Lily’s Sweets products.

    • 4gr net carbs

    • Gluten free and vegan

    • Erythritol

    • Varieties: Granular, Confectioners, Brown ‘sugar’

    • Price: $7.99

    • 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.

Keto Sweets at Fresh Thyme

Keto Drink Koia Fresh Thyme
  • Koia Keto - Drinks

    • 5gr net carbs

    • Watch for the ones that say ‘keto’

    • Varieties: Cake batter, caramel crème, chocolate brownie

    • Refrigerated plant based keto shake, dairy free - where you’d find smoothies

    • Gluten free

    • Price: $3.99

    • My thoughts: I’ve tried the caramel crème. It was not as thick as expected for a shake. The first sip did not convince me. The 2nd was better and by the 3rd I liked it. It reminds me of the taste of a caramel macchiato minus the coffee. They are a bit pricey but I would buy when on sale.

Keto Fresh Thyme Two Good Yogurt
  • 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, Mixed Berries, Peach

    • Price: $1.99

    • 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 .

Keto Ice Cream Enlightened Bar Mint Chocolate Chip
  • Enlightened - Keto Ice cream Bars

    • 1-6 gr net carbs - check packaging. It seems that different flavors have different amount of carbs. Best are the ones marked as ‘Keto Collection’

    • Gluten free

    • Varieties: Sea Salt Caramel, Mint Chip Swirl and Vanilla Dark Chocolate Almond at my store

    • Price: $5.29

    • My thoughts: I have not tried the Bars but LOVE their pints

Enlightened Keto Ice Cream Fresh Thyme
  • Enlightened - Keto Ice cream Pints

    • 5gr net carbs if you count sugar alcohols 50% off

    • You can easily spot the Keto ones by the lid that says Keto

    • Gluten free

    • Varieties: At my store they only had Peanut Butter Fudge

    • Price: $5.29

    • My thoughts: My absolute favorite 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 Smart Sweets
  • 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: $3.49

    • 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

Keto chocolate Lilys Fresh Thyme
  • 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: $4.49

    • My thoughts: I like shopping for these at Wholefoods because they have the largest variety to choose from. Also, when you buy a whole box you get a ‘bulk’ discount. Some other stores sell them for $3.50 though and occasionally Whoelfoods will have them on sale too for 2 / $7. My personal favorites are Almond Dark Chocolate and Hazelnut Milk Chocolate.

Lily's Keto Chocolate Fresh Thyme
  • 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: $6.99

    • 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 bars.

Dangbars Keto
  • Dangfoods - Bars

    • 5gr net carbs per bar

    • Gluten free and vegan

    • Varieties: My store had Almond Vanilla, Chocolate Sea Salt, Roasted Coconut and Lemon Matcha. Other flavors include Cardamom Chai, Chocolate, Saigon Cinnamon and Peanut Butter

    • Price: $2.49

    • My thoughts: I tried the Sea Salt Chocolate I got at a different store. That one was too salty and not chocolate-y enough for me. It was very rich and I would say that this is a bar you can easily split in two and eat at two different snack times. I’ve also tried the Almond Vanilla - not for me. Lemon Matcha was ok. I’m very picky with bars and the texture reminds me of the Quest protein bars which I’m also not a fan of.

Kiss my keto bars fresh thyme
  • Kiss My Keto bars

    • 1gr net carbs

    • Varieties: My store had Chocolate Coconut, Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cookie Dough

    • Price: $3.29

    • Gluten Free

    • Varieties: My store had Cookies & Cream, Strawberry Cheesecake, Peanut Butter, Chocolate Brownie, S’Mores, Double Chocolate Chunk, Chocolate Peanut Butter and Cinnamon Roll

    • Price: $2.79

    • My thoughts: I’ve tried a few different Quest Nutrition Protein bars and so far have not found one I like. Their new ‘hero’ line I like though

Good to go bar ket Fresh Thyme
  • Good to Go Bar - Soft baked bar

    • 4gr net carbs

    • Gluten Free

    • Varieties: My store had Vanilla Almond and Raspberry Lemon

    • Price: $2.69

    • My thoughts: I haven’t tried these yet

Savory Keto Snacks at Fresh Thyme

  • 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, $3.99 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

Umlands Crunchy Cheese Keto Snack Fresh Thyme
  • Umland’s Crunchy Cheese

    • 1-2gr net carbs - depending on serving size

    • Gluten free

    • Varieties: Cheddar, Gouda and Pepperjack

    • Price: $3.99 for a 1.9oz bag

    • My thoughts: I LOVE these. My favorite moon cheese by far. They are on the pricier side like other cheese snacks but are sometimes on sale. These make great to go snacks. When traveling, hiking or for a quick munch while driving somewhere.

  • Brad’s Crunchy Kale

    • 5 gr net carbs for a serving size of 10 crackers

    • Vegan, Gluten Free

    • Varieties: My store only had Tuscan

    • Price: $6.99

    • My thoughts: I’ve tried salt ones in the past and kept it to half the portion size for it to fit my macros. They were nice for some crunch.

Keto Sticks Meat Chomps Fresh Thyme
  • Chomps - Salt & Pepper Venison Sticks

    • 0gr net carbs

    • Price: $ not sure as no price on shelf

    • My thoughts: I haven’t tried these yet

    • Varieties: At my store: Cheddar - online they also have Sesame, Sour Cream & Onion, Original, Jalapeno and Pizza

    • Price: $9.99 for a 7.5oz bag

    • My thoughts: I’ve tried the original which was nice. Overall I often find these cheese snacks a bit pricey though for the bag size

Well, if you don’t find something new to try with this list, you must be quite the Keto veteran. Fresh Thyme definitely is one of the most Keto friendly Grocery stores I’ve come across.

Prices are actually fairly similar to Whole Foods I find but many products were on sale when I browsed. I listed the full prices in the list above though.

Definitely worth a stop for your next Keto shopping trip.

Did I miss anything? Please share in comments. Happy to update the list and add more to make it easier for everyone to shop!
