100 Keto Approved Foods To Buy From Costco

100 Keto Approved foods to buy from Costco!

A great way to save money while living the keto lifestyle is to buy in bulk and if you’re like me then you might be a little obsessed with Costco.

My last trip to Costco with my 4 kids I made a giant list of a TON of yummy keto approved foods you can buy there.

I’m also going to offer some suggestions on how you can use each of these foods!

Let’s just jump right in and check out 100 Keto Approved Foods To Buy From Costco:

Beef Jerky: This is a GREAT filling snack to have on hand for kids or adults. Watch the sugar grams and opt for a brand that has the fewest ingredients and no nitrates and nitrites.
Unsalted Cashews: Costco has many varieties of unsalted nuts if you prefer those. This is great for snacking but portion them out in baggies if you have trouble with self control!
Dry Roasted Almonds: I love these! They’re a great snack with a piece of cheese. They’re super crispy too and satisfy the craving for a salty chip.
Shelled/Unshelled Pistachios: Delicious! My kids love these as well. Sometimes it’s nice to get the shelled variety to keep you from eating too many too fast!
Macadamia Nuts: It’s nice to have different types of nuts on hand for snacking. You can also grind up a few types of nuts and use it as a coating for chicken nuggets.
Organic Whole Cashews: I’m seeing more organic varieties of nuts at Costco which is great!
Mixed Nuts: Again a delicious snack, just beware not to eat half the container in 1 sitting!
Canned Chicken Breast: Canned chicken is a great protein to have on hand, (if it’s organic it’s even better!). Mix is up with mayonnaise and eat it in a lettuce leaf, on some tomato slices, with avocado, add it to a big salad and more!
Skipjack canned tuna: I choose skipjack tuna because it is a smaller variety of tuna and has less toxins like mercury built up in it like the larger albacore variety. Again dip cucumber sticks in tuna, eat it on top of tomato slices, in salad or in a lettuce wrap!
Canned Sardines: Great little salty snack, high in healthy omega-3’s that fight inflammation.
Organic Chicken Stock: You can certainly make your own and freeze it but it’s nice to have some boxes of organic chicken stock on hand for when you’re making sauces and soups!
Canned Organic Sliced Mushrooms: You can add these to gravies, sauces, or salad!
Canned Green Beans: Have a vegetable side dish ready in a snap!
Canned Organic Diced Tomatoes: All varieties of tomatoes are great to have on hand for sauces, chilies, stews and soups.
Canned Organic Tomato Paste: Again great for sauces including pizza sauce!
Canned Tomato Sauce: Use as a base to make your own pizza sauce or in chilis and soups.
Chia Seeds: Mix with coconut milk and berries for a pudding like treat! You can add a little stevia to sweeten it up. Add chia seeds to smoothies or low carb granola as well.
Hemp Seeds: Hemp seeds taste great on top of salads.
Kirkland Organic Marinara Sauce: This sauce tastes delicious and it doesn’t have sugar!!! I use it with meatballs, as spaghetti sauce with spaghetti squash or on top of zucchini noodles. You can definitely make your own but nothing beats cracking open a jar and hey you’re a mom and you’re busy so save yourself the time and buy it!
Mayonnaise: This is a must have to mix up tuna, salmon, or chicken salad!
Kirkland Bacon Crumbles: Great to add to eggs in the morning or on top of salad. A little goes a long way!
Kirkland Artichoke Hearts: These taste SOOOO delicious on salads! They add such a lovely flavor. There’s also some yummy looking baked chicken and parmesan type recipes on pinterest that use artichokes as well.
Pickled Asparagus: Again add these to salads or use as a side with dinner.
Stuffed Greek olives: Perfect for salads! Chop them up and add them to egg salad for a nice salty zip.
Pickled Banana Peppers: These taste delicious with a thin slice of nice sharp cheese! Use them to spice up a salad or tacos!
Roasted Seaweed Snacks: Great keto friendly snack, you can spread some cream cheese on these with some lunch meat and veggies for a simple lunch.
Sliced Almonds: Add them to low carb granola, put on salad, crush and use them to “bread” meat before you pan fry it.
Kirkland Organic Pine Nuts: One of my favorite ways to use pine nuts is to throw them in a bowl with broccoli, salt, olive oil and lemon juice and roast them!
Kirkland Snacking Nuts 30 pack: Great little snack to have in your purse for when hunger strikes for you or the kids!
Organic Virgin Coconut Oil: A healthy saturated fat with a myriad of benefits. This oil is great for high heat cooking like roasting. Even add some to smoothies!
Blue Diamond Almond Flour: Keto approved flour replacement. Use pinterest to find lots of great recipes to use this!
Dried Spices: Use plenty of spices in your foods to avoid boredom. Add them to chicken salad or egg salad, or on your meat in your main dish. Purchasing spices in bulk will save lots of money.
Avocado Oil: Another great healthy fat! I use it in salad dressings a lot. It’s nice because it doesn’t have really any flavor so you can use it in anything!
Kirkland Organic Olive Oil: Switch out your vegetable or canola oil for olive oil!
Kirkland Himalayan Pink Salt: When you’re in ketosis you need to make sure you’re getting enough sodium but not all salt is created equal. Make sure that it’s unrefined, PINK salt with it’s minerals intact!
Kirkland Pecans: Add nuts to salads, yogurt, a snack, whatever.
Kirkland Walnuts: Walnuts are a great source of healthy fats and are yummy to create a little mixed nut trail mix.
Kirkland Organic Creamy Peanut Butter: Eat on keto pancakes, with vegetables, in smoothies, good protein.
Kirkland Creamy Almond Butter: It’s nice to have various nut butters on hand for different flavors. They’re often used in different types of low carb cookies, bars or pancakes.
Organic PB Fit Peanut Butter Powder: I add this to “protein” shakes for my kids. You could also add it to pancake batter.
Organic Hard Boiled Eggs: I was so excited when I found these. It just makes your life a little easier, not having to boil and peel eggs, although you can certainly do that as well. Keep them on hand for snacks, or to make egg salad!
Organic Raw Eggs: Breakfast, lunch and dinner, eggs are a staple! Organic is good, farm raised/pastured eggs are even better. The darker the yolk the more nutrients you and your kids will get.
Organic Salted Butter: Nice to have an organic option for fats. Like humans, animals store toxins in their fat cells, so when we eat animal fats we want to eat organic.
Kerrygold Grass Fed Butter: Grass fed butter is even better than organic because the cows have been eating grass which helps the butter to be higher in omega 3 fats. Omega 3 fats are so important for brain health and inflammation and have been shown to be incredibly helpful for depression as well as post partum depression!
Sour Cream: Use on tacos and in sauces.
Tillamook Cheddar Cheese Singles: Nice little snack to have around for kids and adults.
String Cheese: Great for kids and for snacking.
Hot Dogs: Quick lunch or dinner, choose dogs that are nitrite and nitrate free and all beef, preferably grass fed. Applegate farms is a great brand!
Columbus Brand Uncured Turkey Bacon: This stuff is great to add to your protein rich breakfast. It’s not greasy like regular bacon but still super flavorful.
Organic Frozen Chicken Breasts: I was excited to see organic frozen chicken breasts in a bag which is nice when you just want to be able to pull 1 out at a time. Organic chicken is always the best option.
Frozen Wild Alaskan Pacific Cod: Cod is a delicious white fish that is hearty and goes well with lots of flavors. I like to bake it with butter, salt, pepper and chives and serve with lots of veggies and a salad.
Frozen Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon: Salmon is also delicious, you can add it to your salad the next day for lunch.
Frozen Sea Scallops: Scallops are delicious broiled in butter, they are sweet and have the most amazing texture!
La Croix sparkling waters: We love making a fizzy berry drink with these drinks. Just blend berries and your favorite flavor, not too much to maintain some fizz, then add some stevia and voila perfect berry fizz dessert!
Frozen Blueberries: Add to smoothies or plain greek yogurt.
Frozen Strawberries: Smoothies and sorbets
Frozen Organic Smoothie Blend with Berries and Kale!: This right here is your entire green smoothie! Just blend with water or coconut milk and add stevia to sweeten a bit.
Frozen Organic Asparagus Spears: Asparagus is expensive and when fresh asparagus goes bad in your fridge it’s a bummer, purchasing frozen veggies is a great option. Keep them on hand for a healthy side to your dinners.
Frozen Stir Fry Vegetable Combo: This is perfect for crazy nights when you want to add any type of your favorite sliced meat, sauté in a pan with some chicken broth and soy sauce, serve over cauli rice.
Frozen Organic Broccoli Florets: Great for side dish for dinner
Whisps Parmesan Cheese Crisps: These can be found near all the crackers and are nice dipped in guacamole for a satisfying snack.
Wholly Guacamole group snacking size (add lime and salt!): Great for snacking or to spread on a lettuce wrap sandwich or tacos.
Chunky Guacamole Single snack sized: Also great for tacos, salads, sandwiches and snacking.
Rotisserie Chicken: Every time I go to Costco I pick up a chicken so I don’t have to make dinner after a big day of shopping. Last time I paired it with cauliflower rice, strawberries and avocado and it was delicious!
All manner of cheese, slices and bricks: Costco has no shortage of cheese sticks, squares, slices and bricks. Have fun experimenting with different types.
Organic Cooked Beets (fridge section): These can be a great addition to any dinner or salad.
Wild Alaskan Smoked Sockeye Salmon: Great snack!
Columbus Herb Roasted Turkey (no antibiotics or hormones added or nitrates, nitrites): Great for lunches and to slice up and add to salads.
Columbus Uncured Pastrami: Snack on this lunch meat or spread cream cheese on a cucumber slice and place some pastrami on it for a tasty lunch.
Columbus Uncured Applewood Smoked Ham (YUM!): I use this as a wrap some mornings for scrambled eggs. Great for a lettuce wrap sandwich as well. Recently I made a chicken cordon bleu casserole that had ham in it so I threw it in there as well.
Organic Whole Chickens (broth, roast, crock pot): These can be frozen and used when you need them. Make soup, broth, casseroles or Hawaiian haystacks with them.
Organic Chicken Thighs: Some people prefer dark meat when it comes to chicken, it’s definitely more tender and more flavorful. It’s nice to mix it up!
Organic Chicken Breasts: You can buy them in row of packages of 2 so they come raw, but I generally freeze them until I need them.
Organic Ground Turkey: Make meatballs, add my sausage seasoning mix to this for any type of dinner that calls for sausage. Stuff it in a pepper and bake with cheese, throw it in soup, very versatile!
Teton Waters Ranch Grass Fed Beef Sausage!! Oh man this stuff is delicious. I like to make a big cookie sheet of roasted veggies with olive oil and sausage. It’s simple and the next morning if I have leftovers I toss it in a pan with eggs for breakfast.
Avocados: Full of healthy fats these babies are delicious. So silky smooth you can use them to make mousse, pudding, guacamole, throw one in a smoothie, with eggs or salad or as a side to any meal.
Strawberries: Costco often has fresh conventional and organic strawberries and these are on the EWG’s dirty dozen list so you’ll want to buy organic if possible. They honestly taste better than conventional strawberries. We eat them alone as snacks!
Campari Tomatoes (taste the most like garden fresh): If you have a hard time with store bought tomatoes like I do these will rock your world. They taste almost like you picked them fresh out of the garden and add a nice touch to salads and tacos.
Romaine Lettuce Heads: What can I say, this is the new bread!
Artisan Romaine Lettuce Heads (smaller/wider, and I prefer these for sandwiches: I actually prefer the shorter, wider shape of this lettuce. I stuff them with tuna, chicken salad, egg salad, cheese and lunch meats for a quick lunch.
Butter Lettuce: It’s nice to have a more smooth, less crunchy option, they have a different flavor and shape of leaf.
Boxed Mixed Spring Greens: I love having a box of the mixed greens on hand for a simple side salad. Just chop up 1 or 2 more veggies and you have a nutritious raw side dish.
Boxed Organic Spinach: I keep this on hand for smoothies or to sauté in a pan with Kerrygold grass fed butter for a side to eat with cheeseburgers or a casserole. You can also slice it up and add it to soup or veggie lasagna.
Organic Cauliflower Rice: Ditch the white rice and eat this instead. I eat it with beef stroganoff, and really anything that generally would be served with rice.
Broccoli Florets: Great side dish or throw it in a salad.
Asparagus: Great side dish.
Snacking Baby Cucumbers: Add them to salad, use as a spoon to scoop up tuna salad or egg salad
Organic Broccolette: This is just young broccoli and kind of fun to switch it up.
Long Cucumbers: Slice in half the long way and use as a sandwich bun. Spread with cream cheese and meat and enjoy!
Cauliflower: Purchase it whole and boil and mash for faux mashed potatoes. Add plenty of Kerrygold butter and real salt!
Mixed Colored Peppers: You can stuff these guys with ground meat seasoned with homemade sausage seasoning, veggies and top with cheese for a light dinner. Slice and add to salads to in chicken fajitas.
Mushrooms: Mushrooms are great to sauté in butter with a few scrambled eggs.
Organic Ground Beef: Burgers, tacos, stroganoff, spaghetti meat sauce and more!
Beef Steaks: Grill them, slice them up and add them to the crock pot.
Fresh Seafood: Especially around holidays, Costco often has fresh seafood. It’s nice to mix up your proteins and throw in some fish!
Beef Roast: Perfect for crock pot cooking.
Pork Chops: Make some homemade mushroom gravy and serve over pork chops that you’ve browned in olive oil and butter in a fry pan.
Blueberries: Fresh berries are great. Snack on them or serve on top of chia seed pudding.
Raspberries: Snack on berries or add to your water to flavor it.
Heavy Cream: Add this to frozen berries and blend for a nice treat, add stevia for some sweetness.
