The Biggest Best Low Carb Keto Shopping List for ALDI: Includes 600+ pictures, 200+ nutrition labels and sections for Strict Keto and Dirty Keto/Low Carb! Free printables!

OK folks, Here is the much awaited for the Biggest Best Low Carb Keto Shopping List for ALDI!

I meant to have this out a month ago but it took much longer than I thought it would. There is so much here!

After 3 trips and 4 ½ hours in the store and taking over 600 pictures, the REAL work began!

I have been sorting, filing, reading the labels, researching the ingredients, taking notes and figuring out the best way to organize this post to best suit everyone and be easy to read and use.

I hope I have accomplished that!

The shopping lists for The Biggest Best Low Carb Keto Shopping List for ALDI can be printed by clicking below.

And I have a NEW POST for ALDI lovers! Best 40 Low Carb Keto Aldi Items

I included the brands of each item instead of just writing “salsa” or whatever because many things have more than one brand and I wanted you to know which was what you are looking for when you get to the store. I sure couldn’t just write “cheese”! There are so many cheeses! 🙂  

The pictures and labels are below in the post but not on the printable shopping list (obviously—or it would be pages and PAGES long!).

I am using the terms Strict

Keto, Dirty Keto and Low Carb frequently in this post, so a brief explanation:

Strict Keto; Eats fewer than 20 carbs per day, counts carbs, proteins and fats (macros) daily and very careful about ingredients to avoid artificial and inflammatory foods (Clean eating). THIS is a great list. I’m sure there are plenty of others but it is a good start.

Dirty Keto; Still eating fewer than 20 carbs per day, counts macros but not concerned as much (or at all) about ingredients.

Lazy Keto; Eating fewer than 20 carbs per day and can eat Clean or Dirty but only counts carbs; doesn’t count other macros like protein, fats and calories. (Not mentioned in this post but just so you know.)

Low Carb; this has a very broad definition and can be up to 100 carbs per day. Usually fewer than 50 carbs per day are eaten and frequently fewer than 20 per day.

Low Carb, like Keto, can use Clean or Dirty ingredients as chosen by the person doing it.

Sugars!

I must say that even though I found a TON of great stuff at ALDI, I was surprised at how many things have sugar in them that I would not think should! 🙁

I know ALDI has a list of ingredients they avoid in their Simply Nature products—and that is awesome!—but sugar is not one of them so we still need to be careful.

There is sugar in salad dressings, broth, salsa, bouillon, taco seasoning, flavored nuts, lemon pepper tuna, peanut butter powder, hot smoked salmon, almond butter, Alfredo sauce (and modified corn starch; good grief, make your own that is very easy and 10X better here!), so much!

I was disappointed to find that a lot of the meats had dextrose, corn syrup solids, and sugars of many forms. 🙁

So saying all of that, I DID list some things that have a little bit of sugar in them if the carb count was very low. They will be in the Dirty Keto/Low Carb section or labeled as such.

Some things like bacon, ham, sausage, and pepperoni are “cured with” a solution that includes sugar of some kind and I did include those (again, in the Dirty section).

Many say that the sugar is not really part of the end product and many of those products have 0 carbs so they are there for you to use as you wish—or not.

Notes on how I labeled some things:

Just because it is in the Low Carb section, does not mean it is Dirty.

For example butternut squash “noodles” are clean and healthy, just higher carb than most Keto folks want so it is in that section.

Another example is the peanut butter. It is very clean with only peanuts and salt but peanuts are a legume and “not Keto” (could be inflammatory) so it is not in the Strict section.

I was very strict in the Strict Keto section! There may be a few ingredients that you are OK with that I bumped so you may want to check out the other section.

It will be easy to do because the list below with pictures has Strict items first (or combined with Dirty if they are in the same box like if something has two flavors) and Dirty/Low Carb right after. It is easy to see which is which.

It won’t be on the printable list though. You could just pencil it in if you want.

Note that just because something is organic does not mean it is Strict Keto; it could very well still have sugar.

Just like any store chain, not all are exactly alike.

Your store may not have exactly what my store had when I was there and my store may not have what your store has.

Some of the items I found are “Seasonal”, as shown on the label. Get them while you can!

I stocked up on the popsicles during the summer and am getting the macadamia nuts now.

It is nice of them to let us know that.

Here is every product I found that is low carb.

Here is almost every label to go with it so you can decide for yourself if it is something you want to use. (I did not picture every single plain meat or vegetable.)

You do not have to stand in the store and read labels.

They are right here.

You are welcome! 🙂
