If you’re anything like me, you’ll love keeping a stash of these low carb keto energy balls around… they are one of my favorite low carb sweet snacks. They’ll fill you up and satisfy your sweet tooth at the same time. Plus, these keto bites are made with simple and nutritious ingredients, and the best flavor combination… peanut butter and chocolate!

If you love this combo as much as I do, give my chocolate peanut butter smoothie , chocolate peanut butter fat bombs , or chocolate chip peanut butter protein cookies a try, too. Or if you like the idea of bites like this but are more flexible in your low carb approach, you might like my bliss balls instead.

Why You Need My Keto Energy Balls Recipe

• Sweet with flavors of chocolate, peanut butter, and maple
• Perfect combo of soft and crunchy
• Ready in 15 minutes
• Keto, paleo, grain-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free
• Just 1.7g net carbs each
• No oven required (they are no bake!)

Most energy balls are sweetened with dried fruit, honey, or maple syrup, and use oats as a primary ingredient. Instead, my keto version is sweetened with Wholesome Yum Keto Maple Syrup and uses a nut and nut butter blend for a similar texture to traditional oat ones. The syrup helps the balls stick together, but I also love how it adds a maple flavor and sweetness… with only 2g net carbs and 20 calories per serving!

And of course, the syrup is delicious on all your favorite keto breakfast foods – like my keto pancakes , chaffles , and waffles !

How To Make Low Carb Energy Balls

I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card .

1. Pulse almonds. Place almonds in food processor and pulse until you have a mixture of chopped almonds and almond meal.
2. Mix dry ingredients. Add shredded coconut , flaxseed meal , and salt . Pulse a few times until uniform.
3. Add wet ingredients. Add peanut butter , Wholesome Yum Keto Maple Syrup , and vanilla . Pulse again until uniform.

1. Fold. Use a spatula to fold in chocolate chips .

TIP: You can remove the blade to make folding easier.

This will also protect your spatula… or transfer to a bowl and mix there.

1. Form. Use a small cookie scoop and your hands to grab the dough and form the keto power bites into 1-inch balls and place on parchment paper .

Common Questions

Are energy balls low carb?

Most energy balls are made with high-carb ingredients like oats, dried fruit, and honey or maple syrup, so would not be low carb. Even my oatmeal protein balls are not keto friendly.

These low carb no bake energy balls are made with keto friendly ingredients like almonds, coconut, flaxseed, peanut butter, keto maple syrup , and sugar-free dark chocolate chips .

Are these energy balls keto?

Yes! Carbs in energy bites will vary recipe to recipe, but because I use lower-carb ingredients in mine, they are just 1.7 grams net carbs each.

Can I make them nut-free?

Absolutely! You can swap the almonds with sunflower seeds and swap the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter .

Can I use something else instead of the maple syrup?

First, let me just say that the Wholesome Yum Keto Maple Syrup I use to sweeten and bind the energy balls is keto friendly — unlike regular maple syrup, which is too high in sugar. Other sugar-free maple syrup brands should work if they have the same thick consistency, but this is the only one that has a real maple syrup taste and natural ingredients.

If you don’t want to use a maple syrup at all, you can’t replace it with a granulated or powdered sweetener without changing the wet/dry ratio. But, you can use a different liquid sweetener with a similar consistency, like my sugar-free simple syrup or even sugar-free vanilla syrup .

Recipe Variations

• Peanut – Swap the almonds for peanuts. Or add a boost of protein by making my protein peanut butter balls !
• Nut Free – Use sunflower seeds instead of almonds and sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
• Double Chocolate – Replace 2 tablespoons of the flaxseed meal with cocoa powder. You might also like my chocolate keto fat bombs to get this vibe.
• Snickerdoodle – Add a couple teaspoons of cinnamon and omit the chocolate chips.

Storage Instructions

• Store: I love these keto no bake energy balls for a make-ahead snack! Just keep them in the fridge for up to 1 week. I use a glass storage container like this .
• Freeze: You can keep the bites in the freezer for 3-6 months. Take them out to thaw slightly before biting in!

More Keto Snack Recipes

• Keto Granola Bars – You can wrap these individually and store in your pantry. Convenient and delicious!
• Keto Cookie Dough Bites – Just 10 minutes to prep these sweet bites that have just 1.5 grams net carbs each.
• Chocolate Fat Bombs – These will keep you full AND satisfy your sweet tooth.
• Keto Popcorn – The satisfaction and crunch of popcorn, without the carbs!

My Tools For This Recipe

• Food Processor – It makes these bites come together in no time, and this one is my favorite. It has lasted me for years.
• Keto Maple Syrup – The key sweetener and binder for my sugar free energy balls. Check out the reviews to see how much it tastes like the real thing!
• Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips – These are my go-to for all my sugar-free chocolate recipes .

The Basic Keto Meal Formula

Eating keto doesn’t have to be complicated! While there are plenty of delicious easy keto recipes to choose from, you don’t even have to cook from a recipe to get started.

Simply follow the keto cheat sheet formula of protein + veggie + fat for your meals.

Be sure to choose a moderate amount of protein, only low carb vegetables (mostly ones that grow above ground), and generous fat to attain an optimal macro ratio. That’s approximately 60-75% of calories from fat, 20-25% protein, and 5-10% from carbohydrates. The table below will give you ideas for what to choose.

Understanding Macros

Macros are macronutrients for short. They include fat, protein, and carbohydrates.

You can calculate your own macros using the macro calculator , but the macro keto cheat sheet below will explain how to look at macros when following a keto lifestyle.

Carbs Are A Limit.

Keeping carbs low is what gets you into ketosis and keeps you there. Ketosis means that you’re using fat as your primary energy source instead of sugar, and requires keeping carbs very low.

A good starting point is 20-25 grams net carbs per day, but you can experiment after a few weeks to see if your body stays in ketosis at higher levels. People who are very active may be able to do more and stay in ketosis, up to around 50 grams per day.

“Carbs are a limit” means that you set a limit for how many carbs to eat per day and don’t exceed it. You don’t have to hit that limit, so if you’re under that’s okay, just don’t go over. Ideally most of your carbs would come from low carb vegetables, and if you’re eating enough veggies, you’ll usually get close to the limit naturally.

A common misconception is that reaching ketosis requires a certain macro ratio, but it’s really only restricting your carb intake that gets you there [ * ]. In the absence of sufficient carbs to use as energy, the body will switch to using fat as fuel. This is called the metabolic state of ketosis.

Protein Is A Goal.

Protein is made up of amino acids, the building blocks of all our cells. It’s a crucial for keeping our muscles strong and for many cellular functions [ * ].

“Protein is a goal” means that you always want to eat enough protein to reach the goal each day, but not exceed it too much. You want enough for your needs, but excess protein can trigger gluconeogenesis, which is protein being converted to sugar [ * ] and can kick you out of ketosis.

Fat Is A Lever.

Fat is the primary macronutrient in a keto lifestyle, because being in ketosis means that fat is your primary fuel source. Fat as a fuel source will come from your food, and if you are losing weight, from your body.

A big advantage of a keto lifestyle is the high fat intake. It keeps you full and satisfied, making it easier to stick to, and using it as the primary fuel source makes it easier on your body to burn body fat, with a lower chance of breaking down your muscle (provided you get enough protein).

Aside from reaching your protein goal and limiting your carbs, the remainder of your calories on a keto diet comes from fat.

Don’t fear fat – it’s your main energy source on keto, and getting enough of it trains your body to use fat for fuel instead of sugar. That means that as long as you are not overdoing your overall calorie intake, you’ll efficiently burn your body fat for fuel as well.

“Fat is a lever” means that you can increase or decrease your fat intake depending on your goals and hunger levels. Increase it (along with exercise) to gain muscle, or decrease it to lose weight.

Keto Food Swaps

One of my favorite challenges is creating recipes, or just discovering, keto food swaps. These are delicious keto replacements for traditionally high-carb or high-sugar foods.

So, I created this keto diet cheat sheet with all the swaps in one place! I also have more keto food swaps in my Easy Keto Cookbook .

Keto Swaps For Breakfast

Keto Swaps For Bread

Keto Swaps For Meals & Side Dishes

Keto Swaps For Snacks & Sauces

Keto Swaps For Cooking & Baking

Keto Food List

When looking for a keto cheat sheet printable, the most-requested information is a keto food list.

The great thing is that keto doesn’t have to feel restrictive. It’s incredibly satisfying and there’s such a wide variety of foods you can eat!

Foods To Eat On Keto

• Leafy greens – Such as spinach, chard, and lettuce.
• Above-ground veggies – Such as peppers, zucchini, and cauliflower.
• Full-fat cream & cheese – Such as heavy cream, sour cream, and full-fat hard cheeses.
• Natural meats – Such as beef, lamb, and pork.
• Berries – Such as raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries.
• Avocados
• Unsweetened nut milks – Such as almond milk and coconut milk.
• Almond flour and coconut flour
• Eggs
• Healthy fats – Such as coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil and butter.

Foods To Avoid On Keto

• White flour & sugar
• Rice & grains – Such as barley, wheat, and corn.
• Milk & yogurt – Such as fruit on the bottom yogurt, sweetened Greek yogurt, and all milk.
• Cereal
• Processed food – Such as granola bars, candy
• Most fruit – Such as apples, bananas, and grapes
• Hydrogenated fats – Such as vegetable oil, soybean oil, and margarine
• Sweetened beverages & condiments – Such as soda, ketchup, and sweet dressings
• Starchy veggies – Such as peas, carrots, and beets.
• Potatoes – Such as sweet potatoes and white potatoes.

That’s the short keto diet cheat sheet version of all the keto food categories, but I recommend downloading the full Keto Cheat Sheet System. It includes a super detailed printable keto food list with over 100 items, including 2 color-coded pages with net carb counts, along with 6 more pages of keto cheat sheets:

Electrolyte Basics

Getting enough electrolytes is crucial for anyone, but especially so on a keto diet. The reason is that ketosis has a diuretic effect, which increases excretion of water and electrolytes, especially sodium [ * ]. This is often the cause of the keto flu.

For more details on electrolytes and avoiding keto flu, check out the full keto flu guide here .

The important thing to know about electrolytes is that replenishing them will keep keto flu away and keep your body functioning well. I always recommend an electrolyte drink and whole food sources of anything your body needs before resorting to supplements, so I made a list of what to eat to get each of the 3 major electrolytes – sodium, magnesium and potassium.

Here’s your keto diet cheat sheet for getting electrolytes from food:

Keto Diet Types

People follow a keto lifestyle for different reasons. Some do it just to lose weight, others are after better overall health, increased energy, and reduced inflammation.

Strictly speaking, the defining factor of a keto diet is the metabolic state of ketosis, which is achieved by restricting carbs. However, many people (myself included) also reduce or eliminate processed, inflammatory, or low-nutrient foods.

Below is your keto cheat sheet summary of the different ways that people follow keto. You choose what works best for your goals and lifestyle!

• Strict Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, count all calories and macros, and eat clean, unprocessed foods.
• Lazy Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, and track only net carbs OR eat keto foods without tracking.
• Dirty Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, with “if it fits your macros” approach including processed foods.
• Low Carb – Up to 50-100g net carbs daily, less strict.

Common Questions

Are energy balls low carb?

Most energy balls are made with high-carb ingredients like oats, dried fruit, and honey or maple syrup, so would not be low carb. Even my oatmeal protein balls are not keto friendly.

These low carb no bake energy balls are made with keto friendly ingredients like almonds, coconut, flaxseed, peanut butter, keto maple syrup , and sugar-free dark chocolate chips .

Are these energy balls keto?

Yes! Carbs in energy bites will vary recipe to recipe, but because I use lower-carb ingredients in mine, they are just 1.7 grams net carbs each.

Can I make them nut-free?

Absolutely! You can swap the almonds with sunflower seeds and swap the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter .

Can I use something else instead of the maple syrup?

First, let me just say that the Wholesome Yum Keto Maple Syrup I use to sweeten and bind the energy balls is keto friendly — unlike regular maple syrup, which is too high in sugar. Other sugar-free maple syrup brands should work if they have the same thick consistency, but this is the only one that has a real maple syrup taste and natural ingredients.

If you don’t want to use a maple syrup at all, you can’t replace it with a granulated or powdered sweetener without changing the wet/dry ratio. But, you can use a different liquid sweetener with a similar consistency, like my sugar-free simple syrup or even sugar-free vanilla syrup .

Recipe Variations

• Peanut – Swap the almonds for peanuts. Or add a boost of protein by making my protein peanut butter balls !
• Nut Free – Use sunflower seeds instead of almonds and sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
• Double Chocolate – Replace 2 tablespoons of the flaxseed meal with cocoa powder. You might also like my chocolate keto fat bombs to get this vibe.
