Keto Dairy List

The lowest carb dairy items are heavy whipping cream, butter, and cheese. Many of these are either 0 carb or 1 net carb. Be sure to check the labels of all packaged dairy products since the carb count can vary by brand.

Sometimes the less expensive grocery store brands have fillers in the products which helped bring the cost down, the downside is that those fillers often increase the carb count. Check labels!

• butter- organic grass fed is best
• cream cheese
• cheese - popular options include cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan, swiss, colby, blue, havarti cheese
