Low Carb Vegan Avocado Protein Smoothie Bowl

⭐ 4.7/5 (2670) 🔥 605 cal

This simple Keto vegan recipe is perfect for breakfast or brunch. This creamy smoothie bowl is made with avocados, plant-based protein powder, and coconut milk, topped with frozen berries, chopped dark chocolate, and coconut flakes. The avocado smoothie is a blank canvas for other Keto-friendly fruits and toppings. Use Keto-friendly, plant-based protein powder, as protein is essential on the Keto diet. Most plant-based protein powders use pea protein powder, which is generally low carb and high in fiber. Use a neutral-flavored powder to let the green color of the avocado shine through. Sliced kumquats, kiwis, plums, cherries, and strawberries are great additions. Toppings like sliced almonds, cacao nibs, pistachios, and walnuts add nice texture. Lakanto maple syrup is used here, but powdered erythritol (about 2-3 tbsp) can be used instead. Granulated erythritol will not dissolve well. If you have been Keto for a while, no sweetener might be suitable. Using these sweeteners or none at all will keep this Paleo as well! Pair this avocado protein smoothie bowl with Keto coffee for a complete meal! https://www.carbmanager.com/recipe/keto-ultimate-instant-coffee The 21 g of protein powder in this recipe provides 16 g of protein from the protein powder alone.

Healthy Whole Food Mayo

⭐ 4.7/5 (1676) 🔥 100 cal

This Keto mayonnaise is rich, creamy, fool-proof - and perfect for a whole food, Whole30 diet. You can prepare it in just about a minute using an immersion blender and a jar. This paleo mayo is tastier and healthier than store-bought; you won have to repurchase another jar. The great thing is that you can use this recipe to make many other Whole30 recipes like Caesar dressing, ranch dressing, and other dips and sauces. Generally, yes. Depending on the quality and type of ingredients used, mayonnaise can be Whole30. For example, most store-bought brands are not Whole30 compliant because they are prepared using canola oil or soybean oil and contain sugar and additives. This Whole30 mayo is absolutely compliant because it is made using avocado oil and contains no sugar or additives. You can use this easy mayo recipe to create any condiments. You can use fresh garlic for a delicious garlic aioli. Add Whole30 hot sauce for spicy mayo, or smoked paprika for a tasty dip. You can also use this recipe as a base for Whole30 ranch dressing. Yes, an immersion blender is essential for this 1-minute mayo recipe. The traditional method for making mayonnaise doesn use an immersion blender, but it also takes way more than a minute and is very tricky. Using a hand-blender emulsifies the oil at the perfect rate without splitting it. Unlike store-bought mayo, this version contains no preservatives, cutting back on its shelf-life. Since this Whole30 mayonnaise is made with fresh eggs, it will keep in the fridge for 7-10 days. Store it in an airtight container or glass jar. Disclaimer: This recipe contains raw eggs. We must warn you that consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially if you have increased susceptibility (i.e., elderly, children, pregnant women, immunocompromised individuals).

Low Carb Pork and Egg Fried Rice

⭐ 4.7/5 (2010) 🔥 450 cal

This tasty Keto pork recipe makes a delicious lunch or dinner option that the whole family can enjoy. Our low carb dish is prepared with ground pork, crisp radishes, juicy yellow bell pepper, aromatic scallions, cauliflower rice, zesty lime juice, tamari sauce, sesame oil, and beaten eggs. The recipe is pan-fried in just one pan - perfect for fuss-free cooking with minimal washing up! We have used ground pork for this Keto dinner recipe, but if preferred, you can swap the pork for an alternative ground meat. Turkey and chicken would both make great substitutions. If using turkey or chicken, opt for ground thigh meat as this provides more fats and flavor. This will also prevent the meat from drying out when cooking. Please be sure to adjust cooking times and macros as needed for different meats. Cauliflower rice is a simple to prepare side, perfect for complementing your favorite Keto dishes. You can buy cauliflower rice ready-made in many grocery stores in either the fresh or frozen section. Alternatively, you can prepare the rice yourself by simply shredding cauliflower florets with a box grater to create grain-sized pieces or by pulsing florets in a food processor.

Keto Halloumi and Chorizo Salad

⭐ 4.7/5 (2210) 🔥 500 cal

This Keto salad recipe offers a delightful combination of flavors and textures, featuring healthy fats and low-carb vegetables. Our dish includes pan-fried halloumi cheese, smoky Spanish chorizo, peppery arugula, and refreshing cucumber. The salad is enhanced with a vibrant dressing made from fresh orange juice, olive oil, fragrant rosemary, and the savory chorizo cooking juices. It's a perfect choice for a Keto-friendly lunch or a light low-carb dinner. The halloumi cheese adds a wonderful dimension to our Keto salad. Its high melt point allows it to be easily pan-fried or grilled, creating a delicious golden crust. If you prefer a different cheese, you can substitute it with paneer or queso blanco, both excellent grilling options. For a no-cook alternative, simply top the salad with slices of creamy goat cheese. Remember to adjust your macros accordingly when making any substitutions. We chose Spanish chorizo for its rich, smoky flavor that complements the other ingredients in our Keto salad. This cured pork sausage is seasoned with garlic and paprika, adding depth and complexity to the dish. As it is pre-cured, it can be enjoyed as is or cooked to enhance its flavors. Please note that Mexican chorizo, being a raw spiced pork blend, requires thorough cooking before consumption. The addition of rosemary and a touch of orange to our salad dressing perfectly complements the flavors of the Spanish chorizo, creating a harmonious and well-balanced dish.
