The Keto Boxes are really popular and a lot of people ask me for my recommendation on which low carb subscription box is BEST. So last month I did a very detailed Keto Subscription Box Comparison on the top three companies, based on my personal experience with them all over several months.
This week I got all three March keto boxes, and have also been listening to feedback around the web on each of them, which makes me want to update my original review… maybe. 🙂
Here’s what’s in each of the 3 boxes THIS month… to give you a better idea what to expect month to month, and also to give you another low carb food list of interesting new keto products to check out!
I’ve been working with Keto Krate the longest (almost 2 years), and work with all three companies on a sponsored and/or commission basis. I’ve been getting The Keto Box for more than six months, and Keto Delivered for a little less than that.
The three Keto Boxes I’m comparing are:
- Keto Krate
(Use promo code FIVE2018 for $5 off your first box) - The Keto Box
(Use promo code MIX11 for 10% off your first box) - Keto Delivered
March Low Carb Food List: 23 New Keto Products
Confession: This is a little overwhelming for me every month. 🙂
We’ll start with a quick snapshot of what each of the three keto boxes looked like when they arrived, then I’ll give you a list of what’s inside each box.
I’ll include the best place(s) to get those products if something piques your interest and you want to try it out… along with my thoughts & personal experiences of course!
The March 2018 Keto Krate:
The March 2018 box from Keto Delivered:
The Keto Box, March 2018:
Now for what’s inside! All the weird, fun, neat, interesting low carb products sourced from a variety of keto companies. That’s what makes these boxes so fun, because you never know WHAT you’re going to find in the box! 😉
The Keto Box, March 2018: 9 Low Carb Products
1. Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener (30 packets)
These sweetener packets contain erythritol and monk fruit extract. Those are the only two ingredients. They are zero net carbs.
I haven’t tried this sweetener yet, so I’m not sure if it has an aftertaste or “cooling effect” like others. A whole bag of 30 individual packets is convenient for a sweetener on the go, though!
You can order it at Lakanto.com for $5.99 + shipping. You can get it on Amazon for $6.95 w/free shipping, but they only have the “classic” not the Golden.
It’s cheapest on Netrition for just $4.79 – especially if you already shop there and simply add it on to your order since they have low flat rate shipping, no matter how much you order.
A 4-serving packet of “Cave Fat Packs” – which I look at… and have no idea what to do with. 🙂 lol. You can only order them in 5-pack boxes for 29.95 on CaveManShake.com, or $25.46 + Free Shipping on Amazon.
It says you can eat it right out of the bag, add it to your coffee, add it to recipes, etc. It’s basically just to “get your fat in on the go.” I don’t have any problem meeting my macros or getting enough healthy fats in my diet, but I’m sure I can get creative with it! 😉
What’s IN it? Organic coconut milk powder, organic stevia and salt. That’s it. It’s THREE carbs per serving, with 4 servings per packet, and 90 calories (88 from fat).
From the reviews on Amazon it’s basically “powdered coconut milk” and has a sweet coconut flavor.
3. Oven Baked “Everything” ParmCrisps (2 Individual Serving Packs)
You can find these offline in a variety of flavors at stores like Walgreens, Kroger, Wal-Mart, Food Lion, Costco, etc. You can also get them on Netrition in individual packs and a variety of flavors, and mix and match your preferences.
When you break it down, they’re about HALF the price (per gram) on Netrition as they are on Amazon for the 3oz packs.
Anyway, this is a fun tasty low carb snack and I love individually sized / sealed products like this! They’re great to grab & go when I’m on the run, or to throw in my pack when I’m off for a hike. 🙂
4. Bacon’s Heir Rosemary & Sea Salt Pork Clouds (0.7 oz bag)
You can get these on Netrition in 5 different flavors & sizes. They’re zero carb and gluten free. You can buy them in individual packs there too, for only $1.29 – $2.49, so you can mix & match flavors. (They’re 3.75 per bag on Amazon and you have to buy 4 bags.)
I’m not a big fan of pork rinds, unless they’re plain and I toast them in butter & cinnamon. I need creative ideas for these! I suppose they would be great with a garlic herb cheese dip, but I prefer raw veggies in that…
5. People’s Choice Handmade Sea Salt & Pepper Beef Sticks
These are $6.00 on their website or on Amazon (plus shipping at either). I’ll eat these when I’m traveling or hiking, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy (or eat) beef sticks – and they are expensive.
Which is what I love about getting to try things like this in my boxes!
BUT, if you (or some guy you know!) loves beef sticks and beef jerky… look what I found on Amazon! Great gift idea for a low carb or meat-eating person in your life. 🙂
6. Frutto D’Italia Olives from Sicily
Their website is in Italian, but you can find these on Amazon in 10-packs for $1.52 per ounce. 😯
Again, that’s what I love about the variety in these boxes. I wouldn’t necessarily – okay, scratch that – I would never order olives online, but this will be a great food to toss in my bag or in my hiking pack when I’m on the go! 😉
7. Greek Goodness Superfood Dressing
This 4 ounce bottle is $5.99 (+ $7.10 shipping!) on their website. It’s the same price on Amazon (and the same shipping cost).
The bottle boasts, “the healthiest superfood dressing on the market!” so I look forward to trying it. Another item I wouldn’t buy, but I’ll definitely make good use of this portable bottle!
And who knows, it might be amazing enough to get me hooked. 😉
(I personally LOVE Primal Kitchen Dressings and they’re priced great for larger bottles, but of course not something I’d take on the go like this little bottle!)
F.I.T. stands for Flavor Infused Tenderizing. This 4 ounce package is $8 + shipping on their website, but you can get twice as much in an 8oz package on Amazon for only $12 (or 4x as much for only 2x the price with the 16oz) – PLUS free shipping. 😉
I saved this for last because it came with a coloring book. Or I thought it did 🙂 lol. It’s actually a detailed full-color recipe booklet for making fun keto stuff – like Dark Chocolate Matcha, Mexican Chocolate Fat Bombs, The Wild Shake, Wild Butter Tea, etc.
What is it? I’m not sure. I had to put on readers (magnifying glasses) to read the package, but I think it’s 4 discs of wild cocoa butter – maybe?
It says they’re great for traveling, but I’m not sure what to do with them, so I’m going to read up on it more at their website.
Next up… this month’s Keto Krate box!
Keto Krate, March 2018: 8 Low Carb Products
1. Creation Nation Energy Bite Mix
You can only get this on their website right now (link above), but they are “coming soon” to Whole Foods stores! It’s a no-bake mix and it’s described as “chocolatey with a coconut crunch” and there are all kinds of creative ways to use it – to make keto bars, fat bombs, “bullet proof balls” etc.
They give you several options on the back of the package, but I want to make the balls with coffee instead of water (yum!) 🙂 and half with coconut oil and half with Pecan Pie Almond Butter.
This was the product that piqued my interest most this month! 🙂
I have some sugar free honey I could use too (from Netrition), if I want to sweeten them up a bit – per the instructions on the package.
2. No Cow Peanut Butter Protein Cookie
I have tried to like several D’s Naturals / NoCow products with no luck, so I’m not overly excited about trying this cookie. 😛
You can get them in 3 flavors, but you can only buy them by a box of 12.
A dozen is $22.99 on Netrition, they are $29.99 on Amazon (free shipping), and they are $23.99 + Shipping on the website.
3. Raw Food Cashew Crunch Flax Crackers
I haven’t tried these yet, but they look much tastier than traditional flax crackers so I’m hopeful! 🙂 The site says they taste like a “buttery pretzel” and they are gluten free, grain free, paleo friendly and full of Omega 3’s.
They are $6.99/bag + shipping on the website, but on Amazon for only $5.64 each if you buy four (+ 4.99 shipping).
If you buy 4 bags on the website it’s $27.96 + Free Shipping (40 cents more than Amazon). If you only buy 2 bags, it’s $13.98 + $7 shipping.
4. Volpi Chorizo Flavor Salame Stix
I can’t find this online anywhere, to order I mean, but you can see it on their website here. This is definitely a specialty product, and sounds pretty good: “Dried Spanish Inspired sausage with smoked paprika, fresh garlic, herbs and spices.” (1 carb)
In Tennessee, Publix is the only store that carries them.
5. Ayoba-Yo Droewors Air-Dried Beef Sticks
(shown above) These feel kinda tough. I’ve gotten them in boxes before but have never tried them. I usually give the beef sticks to my son.;) They sent us the Grass Fed Beef version in this box. You can get them on Amazon with Free Shipping.
6. CocoPolo Elderberry Milk Chocolate Bar
This must be a new flavor because it’s not on Netrition OR Amazon yet, but I’m anxious to try this one!! 🙂 My favorite EVER from this brand is the Toasted Hazelnut bar. YUM
You can only buy them by the case on Netrition but they have quite a few flavors, in both milk and dark chocolate. They are $74.46 for 10 bars on Amazon 😯 and $42.99 for 10 bar cases on Netrition. 😉
You can shop variety packs on their website though, and they offer free shipping on orders over $60.
7. GAEA Chili & Black Pepper Pitted Green Olives
Last month there was a Marinated Cauliflower Snack from this same company that I still haven’t tried yet (in The Keto Box, not the February Keto Krate).
It kinda intrigued me and sorta scared me, lol.
Maybe I’ll eat these two together – spicy olives and marinated cauliflower. 🙂
These are expensive on the website as 8 or 10 pack cases, but you can order a small 3-flavor variety pack on Amazon to try different flavors.
8. Garlic Parmesan Gourmet Walnuts
I have no idea how good these walnuts are, but the BAG was FUN to read -lol. Great packaging! They have A LOT of different flavors on their website and they sell individual packages or in bulk.
Some of the flavors look really fun, like: chocolate espresso, banana, buffalo, etc – but I haven’t checked the carb count on those flavors. The garlic parmesan walnuts are only 3 net carbs per serving. They also make walnut butter. 🙂
Instead of eating these walnuts as a snack, I think I’ll bake cheddar spinach garlic walnut biscuits (my usual spinach biscuit recipe + walnuts!) and eat them hot with cream cheese spread on them. What do you think??
Last but not least, the March box from Keto Delivered…
Keto Delivered, March 2018: 7 Low Carb Products
1. Sunniva Super Coffee – Vanilla Bean
This is like a BPC (Bullet Proof Coffee) to-go, and the full 12oz bottle is only 1 carb. I haven’t checked the carb count on the other flavors yet, but Amazon has a variety pack with all 4 flavors that is a good deal to try them all: $14.99 + Free Shipping ($3.75/ea).
Otherwise you have to get them on their website in a case of 12 (3 of each flavor) for $35.99 + $6.25 shipping (to my address) which comes to $42.24 or $3.52 each.
2. Legendary Foods Pecan Pie Almond Butter 🙂
This is a FAVORITE of mine!! And it’s not a small sample jar either, but a good sized 12 ounce jar. You can get this on Amazon, but it’s $2 more there.
I have a coupon code for their website (LOWCARBTRAVELER) so you’ll save 10% AND $2 – and they offer free shipping there too.
This is the amazing nut butter I use to make low carb waffles, pancakes & muffins. 🙂 DELICIOUS! It’s great straight out of the jar, to make low carb candy, fat bombs, use in recipes, or eat on those Cashew Flax Crackers that came in this box TOO.:)
* Our coupon code for Legendary Foods is: LOWCARBTRAVELER
3. Raw Food Cashew Crunch Flax Crackers (More!)
I haven’t tried these yet, but they look much tastier than traditional flax crackers so I’m hopeful! 🙂 The site says they taste like a “buttery pretzel” and they are gluten free, grain free, paleo friendly and full of Omega 3’s.
They are $6.99/bag + shipping on the website, but on Amazon for only $5.64 each if you buy four (+ 4.99 shipping).
If you buy 4 bags on the website it’s $27.96 + Free Shipping (40 cents more than Amazon). If you only buy 2 bags, it’s $13.98 + $7 shipping.
4. Strollo’s Garlic Beef Jerky
Blech. I don’t like beef jerky, lol. I often eat it anyway though, usually when I’m out hiking. It does make for a good compact trail food along with nuts & things.;) But I’m not sure about GARLIC beef jerky…
… and, just look: StrollosBeefJerky.com 😳 I have no words, lol 🙄
It’s $22.50 for a 6-pack on their website.
I do like this Chef’s Cut Buffalo Chicken Jerky though – it’s delicious! Especially dipped in ranch. 😉 I think I got that in one of my very first Keto Krate boxes…
5. Miracle Noodle “Spaghetti” Shirataki Noodles
While we’re on the topic of iffy / yucky… these things scare me. 🙂
I have YET to try shirataki noodles. I need to get brave and just do it already! 😛
You can get them on Netrition in individual packs and mix and match types (rice, pasta, noodles, etc). This Spaghetti version is only $2.99 on Netrition. You can also get them on Amazon in a 6-pack for $22.09 & free shipping.
It’s a better deal to mix & match on Netrition and take advantage of the low flat-rate shipping no matter how many things you order.
6. ChocoPerfection Almond Dark Chocolate Candy Bar
ChocoPerfection makes good candy bars! Netrition no longer carries these, so you can only get them on the chocoperfection website or on Amazon – and only in bulk.
They do offer a variety pack on Amazon, but it’s slightly cheaper on their website with free shipping here.
7. LonoLife Chicken & Beef Bone Broth Portable Packets (4)
This is the kind of thing I really LOVE! 🙂 It’s so nice to have a savory drink or bone broth on the go, that’s just done-for-you and portable so you can have it on hand.
Like most products you can only get these in bulk, but you can get a case of 10 portable sticks for 19.99 + free shipping on Amazon. It’s the same price on their website here BUT you only get free shipping if you spend over $50.
I haven’t tried this brand ^ yet but look forward to comparing it to the Keto Broth I’ve been using a lot lately.
So there you have it… 23 different, interesting, fun, weird keto products and low carb foods in this month’s 3 March Keto Boxes. 🙂

The no cow cookie from Keto Krate was not good, but the chocolate bar was great. π
Lynn Terry says
Thank you for your feedback, Kim! I haven’t had a chance to try ANYthing out of the boxes yet. Doing the product & pricing research and putting the information together took me DAYS lol. I’m anxious to try a few things…
I have not liked any of the No Cow / D’s Naturals bars or products yet, and I’ve tried quite a few, so I had a feeling that one wouldn’t be great – although some people said they loved it!
