I am an Aldiholic. My boyfriend and I buy most of Aldi’s food because the products are high quality, fresh and significantly cheaper than other grocery stores. We save a lot of money on our supermarket account every week by shopping at Aldi. They have so many healthy options, like seafood, meats, an incredible cheese section, wonderful seasonal items and a selection of low-carb options to help you stay on track. If you’re trying to cut carbs, have diabetes or just want to try something new, these are the best low-carb foods to buy at Aldi.
14 best low-carb foods at Aldi
Simple cauliflower or with seasonal garlic chosen
As basic as it is, this vegetable side warms up quickly and tastes amazing! In addition, it has only 4 grams of liquid carbohydrates per serving. You can steam and eat it with a little butter or turn it into a tasty cauliflower puree. I like to put it in the food processor with a little butter, garlic and milk or sour cream to make it really creamy. It’s the perfect low-carb combination for any main dish, and you won’t miss the potatoes!
Fremont Fish Market Jumbo EZ Peel Raw Shrimp
This frozen shrimp is a great low-calorie, low-carb option to have in the freezer. They take about 10 minutes to thaw in cold running water and you can use them in a fresh scampi with zoodles, cook them and serve them with cocktail sauce, throw them in a stew or make shrimp tacos with the Fit & Active Low Carb Tortillas below.
Fit & Active Low Carb Tortillas
I tend to be skeptical about low-carb bread. In my opinion, it is difficult to find one that tastes good, and I prefer to use lettuce or not to eat bread. That said, I tried these tortillas and they are excellent. In addition, they only have 4 grams of liquid carbohydrates per serving, so they are perfect for a low carb diet.
L’Oven Fresh Keto wheat or multiseed bread
Still on the topic of bread, another example of bread that is low in carbohydrates and still delicious is L’Oven Fresh Keto Friendly bread. It is light and fluffy, as well as having 0 grams of liquid carbohydrates (9 grams of carbohydrates and 9 grams of fiber). Very incredible, right?

Gourmet Emporium Selection of Snacking Cheese
Cheese is always a great low-carb option to add a little protein to your meal or lighten the effect as a quick snack. These cheeses snacks that come in Gouda and habanero Jack are great options to have in the fridge for those hungry moments.
Savoritz Cheese Crisps
If you’re a Cheez-Its fan, try these low-carb cheese fries. They were voted favorite by Aldi fans in 2020 and come in two flavors: parmesan and cheddar. These cheese snacks have a really strong cheese flavor and a satisfying salty crunch – in addition to being packed with protein (13 and 10 grams, respectively) and low in carbohydrates. They are great to enjoy as they are or to sprinkle a salad like “croutons”.
Simply Nature cauliflower biscuits
The cauliflower is hot! When people realized that a vegetarian could replace potatoes or pasta with starch, the possibilities seemed endless. Simply Nature cauliflower biscuits come in sea salt and cheddar flavors, making them a perfect match for your gourmet gourmet cheese from Emporium Selection.
Bay View Hard Seltzer
Hard seltzers are really on the rise, and this tasty Aldi variety pack includes the flavors of lemon, cherry, ruby grape and raspberry. Each 12-ounce can contains only 100 calories and 3 grams of carbohydrates.
Cauliflower crust pizza from Mama Cozzi
These pizzas really have the following, so if you’re going to trust someone when it comes to cauliflower-crusted pizza, choose Mama Cozzi’s. They offer a choice of three cheeses or a choice of margherita to make your pizza evenings a little healthier. Margherita pizza has 22 net carbs (24 carbs and 2 grams of fiber) per serving.
Simply Nature Black Soybean Spaghetti
If pasta is one of your favorite foods, try Simply Nature Black Soybean Spaghetti. The dark and bold color makes a statement on the plate and has a great flavor combined with Creamy Vodka Sauce Selected Especially from Aldi or Marinara Sauce. In addition, it has 19 grams of carbohydrates per serving and 11 grams of fiber, which means that there are only 8 grams of liquid carbohydrates!
Simply Nature Organic Bone Broth
Chicken or beef broth is an option with low carbohydrates and a great source of protein (there are 9 grams in this option from Aldi). You can taste it as tea or as broth to add extra flavor and protein to your meals.
Avocado oil Simply Nature and Carlini Ghee
Speaking of cooking ingredients, Aldi has some wonderful options that are low in carbohydrates and full of flavor to use while preparing your weekly meals, like avocado oil and ghee (clarified butter).
Southern Grove 100 Calorie Almonds or Almonds and Nuts
Nuts are always an excellent option when you are hungry. I love these individual packages because they are easy to play in the car or in the bag and are pre-distributed for a perfect size snack.
Simms Beef Biltong in Original
If you like dried meat, try this meat biltong. When I first saw it, I simply assumed it was similar to dried meat. In a way it is, but the process is a little different. Both beef jerky and biltong are dried and cured with salt, but biltong is also thicker and cured with vinegar instead of smoked. This gives biltong a slightly different flavor, but similarities in texture to beef jerky. While this is an excellent low-carb option, it is high in sodium, so you can limit your portion size or watch your salt intake for the rest of the day.
