Whether you’ve just started the keto diet<\/a> or you’ve been on it for a while, you know that sticking to foods that are low in calories and high in healthy fats is an absolute must if you want to take full advantage of the benefits that this keto provides. However, if you’re planning an event – a birthday party, a graduation, or just an evening with friends – or you’re hosting a holiday, trying to plan out your menu can seem like a daunting task; particularly when it comes to selecting appetizers.<\/p>\n

Mozzarella sticks, jalapeno poppers, pigs in a blanket; a lot of the typical, go-to appetizers that many enjoy aren’t exactly keto-friendly. They’re high in carbohydrates and laden with calories, and munching on them could totally thwart your diet goals. Fortunately, however – and surprisingly – there are a lot of keto finger foods to choose from. With some thoughtful planning, you can easily create a keto party food menu that is totally tasty and will keep you on track while also pleasing your guests (even if they aren’t watching what they eat).<\/p>\n

To help make your event a breeze, we’ve taken the liberty of doing the research for you. Below, we’ve highlighted our top picks for the best hot and cold keto appetizers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
