12 Best Protein Powders for Keto Dieters
Get your shake on without jeopardizing ketosis.
When it comes to enjoying a protein shake after a workout, it can be tough when you’re on the keto diet. That's because too many protein powder brands have a decent dose of carbohydrates, including sugar, or additives that can take you out of ketosis. On a typical ketogenic diet, you need to consume 25 and 50 grams of carbohydrates a day. So you have to spend those wisely, and supplements can easily add up.
That's why we put together this list of protein powders that are high in protein to fuel the body and repair sore muscles, while remaining low in carbs. (In fact, some have zero of both.) These are the best keto-friendly protein powders to buy.

This rich chocolate powder is made up of 75 percent fat, so if you're angling for ketosis, a scoop of this will help. Bonus: It tastes great in coffee.
This shake contains zero carbs, which makes it a perfect choice for keto dieters. Customers rave about the cookies & cream flavor as an alternative to the standard vanilla and chocolate options.
