RGB colored backtrounds, excessive positivity, and age-inappropriate slang. This is why you will never see me look like a typical social media influencer. But I do love these keto-friendly snacks.

Pocket’s Costco San Jose
Pocket’s Chocolates makes oat-milk chocolate-coated almonds that I first discovered at my local COSTCO. Their matcha-flavored almonds had me hooked after my first handful. These mildly sweet snacks are remarkably healthy with less than 10g of sugar per 14-almond serving. Perfect for my Keto diet.
When I heard that Pockets was running pop-up stores in Costco stores and their next location would be an hour south of me in San Jose, I just had to go. They would be offering tastings of all of their flavors. And I would get a chance to try their new Dubai chocolate flavored pastachios.
I drove down to San Jose in the middle of the Christmas rush. I introduced myself to their staff and discovered that 2 of their 3 co-owners were there. I met Lynn and Chris who were super friendly and as sweet as their product. They gave me a gift bag as a gift, and I bought a case of their chocolates because I’m addicted to their matcha and ube almonds.

Tactical Snacks Breach Peach & Green Apple Rattle
Tactical Snacks is a veteran-owned company that were handing out sample packs of their low-carb gummies at SHOT Show earlier this year. I taste-tested their Watermelon Overwatch sour gummies. Tactical Snacks were created to provide low-sugar alternatives to regular gummy candies without high-fructose corn syrup.
They recently expanded their flavors and sent me a sample pack of their two newest: Breach Peacha and Green Apple Rattle.

Tactical Snacks Gummies
I saw a lot of cool tactical products at SHOT Show 2025, but one of the most surprising new products was a packet of fruit gummy snacks. Tactical Snacks is a veteran-owned company handing out sample packs of their Watermelon Overwatch gummies.
Tactical Snacks were created to provide low-sugar alternatives to regular gummy candies. They come in two varieties: Sour gummy with 3g of net carbs and High Protein with 9g of net carbs and 8mg of protein per packet. Their ingredients have a welcome lack of high-fructose corn syrup.
The taste of the Sour Gummy variant is very similar to Sour Patch Kids candies. The High Protein variant has a harder and chewier mouth feel and a sharp, slightly bitter aftertaste. It reminds me of chewing on vitamin-C tablets. The Sour Gummy is my favorite of the two, but both would be satisfactory on a hike or patrol.
