Last but not least - for now - Trader Joe’s!

It’s taken me longer to get to this Keto shopping guide as the only things I used to buy at Trader Joe’s were non-Keto foods for my family like their amazing chocolate croissants. I just smell them and let the kids and spouse do the eating. Yep. That’s will power right there lol

Well, after scouting Trader Joe’s out for this list of Keto friendly groceries they’re moving up in my list of favorite stores to shop Keto at! So.many.options!

Did you know?

While Trader Joe’s is an American chain it was initially owned by German entrepreneur Theo Albrecht who also owns ALDI Nord in Europe and is still part of the ALDI family.

By now they have over 500 stores nationwide in 42 states + Washington D.C. (source: Wikipedia). Chances are high that if you see something in the list below that you like, that you’ll find it at your local store.

Can’t find the Keto friendly items listed below at your store?

Ask their customer service. If it’s not a seasonal item they will happily order you the missing product and call you when it’s ready for pick up in the following days. No need to order big quantities either. They will order just ONE item if that’s what you’d like. Pretty cool!

Looking for Keto Grocery Shopping Guides for other stores?

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!

Unlike the other guides I’m splitting this one into:

  • Keto breakfast foods

  • Keto food for appetizers

  • Keto friendly sauces, seasonings and dips

  • Keto food for entrées

  • Sweet Keto snacks

  • Savory Keto snacks

Please note that the list below goes by carb count - so products that are low in carb and will fit at least a dirty Keto way of eating. Many will also fit a clean / strict way of eating Keto.

Please check ingredients to see which fit your version of Keto! Especially with the dressings and sauces which might have small quantities of sugar.
