If you’re still going strong with that New Year’s resolution to stay fit, (1) good for you and (2) you might need help introducing protein powders into your routine. There are various reasons to drink protein shakes, but they’re most commonly used as a breakfast drink or meal replacement and after a workout to aid with muscle repair. When you have enough protein in your diet, it can help your metabolism, reduce your appetite, and help you lose some weight. Our keto-friendly recipes are obviously amazing, but when you’re on the go and need something filling quick, protein shakes can do the trick.

We looked into all of the best keto-friendly protein powders—low-carb and low-sugar—so you don’t have to do the research and can focus on keeping on track with your goals. We got you!
