Ketogenic Cookbooks

Lately, every time we come across a bookstore, we see more and more keto cookbooks displayed front and center. This really reflects the extraordinary growth in interest in the keto diet. What’s great is this gives the keto diet community more and more recipes to help spice up our diets.

Even better, most keto cookbooks include easy to understand diagrams and explanations of the keto diet and its benefits. Having this background knowledge allows you to understand why the foods in the recipes are low carb and high fat.

The Easy 5-Ingredient Ketogenic Diet Cookbook

This is our favorite keto cookbook since it is chock full of easy-to-make, convenient recipes. We prefer simple, practical recipes that are also tasty.

Since all the meals are predicated on being high fat, they will keep you satiated for longer. And because the recipes only use 5-ish ingredients each, you can spend less time cooking in your busy day.

Another new favorite is Maria Emmerich’s Keto  Air Fryer cookbook! (An airfryer is also a great Christmas gift idea for any keto cook!)


For More: We’ve listed out all of our favorite keto cookbooks here.

Keto Stocking Stuffers!

We’re not sure if a lump of coal is low carb, but these keto stocking stuffers are all low carb and keto-friendly. And, of course, they all fit nice and neatly into a Christmas stocking.nuun Electrolyte Tablets – The body’s adjustment period to keto may include something affectionately known as the keto flu. It’s not as bad as it sounds, but the effects are minimized by supplementing with electrolytes. These nuun dissolvable effervescent tablets help to replenish those electrolytes and come in a bunch of great tasting flavors.Keto Bark from ChocZero are amazing keto dark chocolate bars without any sugar alcohols. The sweetener used is natural Monk Fruit Extract, which doesn’t affect your blood glucose levels like sugar would.

For people who normally treat chocolate as a treat, keto bark can safely be eaten on keto much more regularly.

For More: We’ve complied a huge list of keto friendly snacks as well!

Highkey Keto Cookies! (<–10% off with code CONVENIENTKETO10)

These are by far the best keto cookies on the market. They are mini cookies, think Famous Amos! And a whole bag comes in at only 4g net carb!

They have 3 flavors: Chocolate Chip and Snickerdoodle and Double Chocolate…ll are delicious! Perfect stocking stuffer size bags too!

Looking for smaller keto candy substitutes?

Try Lily’s Peanut Butter Cups (they are individually wrapped)

Holiday Popcorn Tin substitute

Even if you don’t like to admit it, those classic Christmas popcorn tins are pretty awesome. They contain a perfect mix of salty and sweet, they get your hands sticky and you get pieces of popcorn lodged in between your teeth. Plus, it’s like 3 gifts for the price one!

Okay, okay, kidding aside, variety can be a good thing, especially for food gifts. That’s where Elan’s Keto Nut Gift Box comes in. Elan puts out really great-tasting products that are perfect for both the Paleo and low carb crowds.

This lower carb nut mix highlights 4 varieties of Elan’s products within a great-looking gift box. It is sure to please the pickiest of eaters.

Ketone Test Kit

Especially for those who are just starting the keto diet, keto test kits are an essential tool. The kits provide real-time feedback on whether or not your body is in fat-burning mode (ketosis). Having this information is invaluable and is the keto equivalent of a weight scale.

Gift Cards to Grocery Stores

Due to the general lack of keto friendly food options available when eating out, most keto dieters tend to cook a lot more. Preparing your own meals is also the most surefire way to know the exact nutrition facts of what you consume.

In our particular case, we buy a ton of low carb snacks at the store.

So grocery store gift cards are a great keto gift idea to help ease the burden of buying a bunch of groceries.

The following list of stores carry a wide selection of low carb and keto friendly products. 

Netrition

You might not know about Netrition, which is probably the best online retailer for low carb and keto diets. I know, this is bold statement, but that’s because of a couple reasons.

  1. The selection of low carb and keto friendly brands Netrition carries is extensive. They carry a lot of brands that can’t get into larger retailers.
  2. You don’t have to buy products in bulk. So rather than buying a 12-pack of keto bars of the same flavor and brand, you can try singles of multiple flavors from multiple brands. This is a huge benefit that often goes unlooked.

Netrition is truly a go-to source for keto dieters. You can grab a Netrition e-Gift Certificate with a value between $10-$50.

Gift Cards to Keto Friendly Restaurants

We know cooking every single meal for keto can be tedious. Fortunately, there are a good number of keto friendly restaurants in the U.S that can do some of the heavy lifting.

Simply having the option to eat out will make it more likely that you will stick to the keto diet. Ourselves, we eat out regularly without any issues staying in ketosis.

Here are a few popular restaurants with low carb and keto options, as well as links to gift cards for each:

Keto Friendly Retail Club Memberships

Amazon Prime

amazon prime

Everyone already knows why Amazon Prime is so great. And the fact that you’re going to be the recipient’s favorite person ever makes this a no-brainer.

But why is this extra beneficial for the keto and low carb dieter?

The nature of the beast is that many keto-friendly products are simply not widely distributed. That’s because these products tend to be sold by smaller, niche companies.

That’s where having Amazon Prime really shines. It allows people to get their hands on hard-to-find foods from all over and have them shipped to your recipient’s front door in a couple days!

Even more, members receive exclusive Prime member discounts at Whole Foods Markets, including 10% off all on-sale items. And since Whole Foods sells a boatload of keto and low carb products, this is a win-win situation.

Pro-Tip: Amazon provides the flexibility of gifting 3 months of Prime in addition to the full year of Amazon Prime.

A post shared by ConvenientKeto.net (@convenientketo) on

Costco has really stepped up their organic and natural products game, especially in recent years. Even more recently, we’ve seen low carb foods like riced cauliflower and cauliflower mashed potatoes in bulk. Costco buyers are experts at reading the market and determining what people will buy a ton of.

Plus, when you see tons of keto cookbooks in their wholesale book section, you just know that they are primed to continue to support the keto and low carb communities with products.

We consistently buy a number of items from Costco that are keto friendly. Here are just a few:

  • Macadamia nuts, string cheese, Kerrygold butter, Cello Cheese Whisps, Avocado Oil, Keto Mayo

Trust us, Costco is a huge asset for keto nation and is a top option as far as keto gift ideas go. 

If your recipient doesn’t have a membership, he or she can still shop there with just a Costco Shop Card (aka Costco Cash Card aka Costco gift card). These awesome cards are available in denominations of $25 up to $2000!

Keto Coffee Gift Basket! 

Top Keto Gift Ideas: Build the best Keto Coffee Gift Set ever

butter coffee

People love coffee, and that doesn’t have to change on keto. There’s actually a keto coffee drink a.k.a Bulletproof coffee. It’s basically coffee with butter and oil– but it’s critical to new and seasoned keto dieters alike.

Why? For someone who is just starting the diet, keto butter coffee gets you used to ingesting more fat. Taste palettes have to adapt to eating fatty foods and this is a great way to get the ball rolling.

MCT Oil

The basis of any ketogenic diet is more fat, and no fat is more crucial for the diet than MCT oil. It’s a great part of any keto dieter’s toolbox.

For anyone on the keto diet, MCT oil promotes a state of ketosis, where the body burns fat for fuel. This stuff can provide a boost to kickstart any ketogenic diet, and that means faster and more sustained results.

BulletProof Brain Octane Oil is the crème de la crème of MCT oils. You can’t go wrong with it. Still, if you want more options, we’ve also broken down a bunch of the different top MCT oil options and their benefits.

NutriBullet Blender for Bulletproof Coffee & More

Butter and oil in coffee sounds pretty appetizing, right? Well, if you do it right, it actually turns into basically a rich, frothy cappuccino.

But, if you do it wrong, it’s like you’re drinking an oil slick. It’s critical that you get those fats emulsified into the liquid and the best tool we’ve found, hands down, is the NutriBullet Blender.

It takes just a couple seconds (seriously, 2 seconds) to get the drink mixed and ultra frothy.

By the way, ignore the fruit in the picture of the blender. That ain’t happening (unless its a few berries). However, the blender can still be used to make keto-friendly items like pesto sauce, whipped cream (with alternative sweetener), nut butters, etc.

Pro-Tip: Do they already have a bullet-style blender? Get a handheld battery-operated frother to recharge the keto coffee that’s been sitting around for too long. The price point makes an awesome keto white elephant gift as well!

Pumpkin Spice Latte Sweetener

keto pumpkin spice latte

The official of the beginning of the holiday season is marked by the return of pumpkin spice lattes. It says it right there in the Constitution.

However, your low carb gift recipient is not going to benefit from the 50g of sugar in the regular version of the PSL.

Easy solution.

Just pick up some Torani Sugar-Free Pumpkin Pie syrup and substitute some pumps in for sweetener in the keto coffee and you’re all set!

Hint: This also makes the perfect low carb companion for yourself while you knock out Christmas shopping.

Pro-Tip: There are definitely keto-friendly options at Starbucks too! Check out our guide to ordering keto at Starbucks. That means a Starbucks gift card is one of the most solid low carb gifts.

Peppermint White Mocha Latte Sweetener

A true holiday Christmas drink must include peppermint.

Just add a couple pumps of the following zero-glycemic syrups from Torani to any Bulletproof coffee and you’ve got a rich and decadent holiday espresso drink without all the guilt! It’s a Christmas miracle.

Pro-Tip: Buy a 4-pack to save a few bucks and keep a bottle or two for yourself!

Got a friend who’s too lazy to make Bulletproof coffee?

Buy the pre-made stuff from Bulletproof! These don’t have to be refrigerated and they contain high-quality MCT oil. The ready-to-drinks are super convenient when you’re in a rush to get out the door in the morning.

… or, know someone who travels a lot?

While you’re looking at coffee products, pick up some InstaMix Bulletproof coffee mix. This stuff is great for mixing into black coffee at holiday gatherings or when traveling! Conveniently, they come in portable packets that you simply dump out and stir into the coffee.

Lastly, clothes are probably not a good idea! Except…

Those on the keto diet tend to lose a drastic amount of weight rapidly. So needing to update wardrobes is one of the many (some would say) benefits of being on a low carb and keto diet.

That’s where a gift card to a clothing store would be the perfect keto Christmas gift idea.

Trust us, your mom, dad, sister, brother or best friend are going to need to buy some new clothes after starting keto! We had to donate half of our closet about 3 months into the diet (True story!).

We hope you found our list of keto gift ideas useful! If so, please help us spread the word to others!

Also, do you know what the best gift really is? Why, knowledge, of course! Send them over to our site to keep them apprised of the latest keto products and diet info!

Lastly, let us know in the comments if there’s anything else you’d like to see in this post.

Cheers!
