On my last trip to Costco the lovely ladies were handing out samples of a Dark Chocolate Keto Nuggets from InnoFoods. The nuggets contain coconut, chocolate and a bunch of different types of seed (sunflower, quinoa, pumpkin) and only have four net carbs per serving.
I am not on a keto diet but I do love a good free sample so I had to give these nuggets a try!
My quick review is, “Innofoods Keto Nuggets are a delicious snack. The nuggets have 150 calories and 4 grams of net carbs per one ounce serving which makes them questionable as a healthy keto food.”
Nutrition, Calories and Carbohydrates
A single serving of these nuggets weighs one ounce and is about the same as a large handful. A serving of these nuggets has the following nutritional content:
- Calories: 150
- Fat: 13g (17% DV)
- Cholesterol: 0mg
- Sodium: 50mg (2% DV)
- Protein:3g
- Total Carbohydrates: 9g
- Dietary Fiber: 3g
- Sugar Alcohol: 2g
- Net Carbs: 4g
I have read people debating whether or not this type of snack is actually keto compliant. While the 4 net carbs makes the nuggets keto friendly some people believe that because the dark chocolate contains cane sugar they shouldn’t be called keto.
This is the same argument I saw for the InnoFoods Coconut Keto Clusters.
The product is labeled as Organic and Non GMO.
Ingredient List
The keto nuggets contain:
- Coconut
- Dark Chocolate
- Tapioca Syrup
- Sunflower Seeds
- Pumpkin Seeds
- Erythritol
- Quinoa
- Inulin
- Salt
- Natural Flavors
- Xanthan Gum
The product is labelled as being, Organic, Kosher, Gluten Free, Non-GMO. The label indicates that the nuggets are produced in a facility that also processes tree nuts.
The packaging promotes the quality of the nuggets by sharing that they are made with Belgian couverture chocolate. I did a little digging and discovered that couverture chocolate is pretty high quality and must contain at least 35 percent cocoa solids and 31 percent cocoa butter.
Taste Test!
These little coconut nuggets are delicious!
I was surprised at how well the dark chocolate and coconut tasted together and the crunchiness from the seeds made the nuggets texturally interesting.
The problem is that these nuggets are so tasty that there is no way you are going to stop eating them at a single serving.
I checked the customer reviews for this snack at other realtors and most people really love the product.
Item Number and Location
The nuggets are Item Number 1555940.
You can usually find the keto nuggets at the front of the Costco warehouse with the other snacks, nuts, jerky, etc.
The keto nuggets are not always in stock at the warehouse so if you like these it would be a good idea to stock up when you can.
The Keto Nuggets are a Costco Value

You can but an 18 ounce bag of these snacks from Walmart for $28.99 which works out to a cost of $1.61 per ounce.
This means that you will save $0.99 per ounce (61%) when you buy these snacks at Costco.
