Keto Vegan Protein Bites

⭐ 4.7/5 (2029) 🔥 180 cal

These Keto snack bites are a fantastic way to increase your intake of healthy fats and plant-based protein throughout the day. These vegan Keto bites combine smooth almond butter, chia seeds, crunchy pumpkin seeds, melted coconut oil, ground almonds, flaked almonds, plant-based protein powder, dried cranberries, a touch of low-carb sweetener, and warming spices. They’re perfect for a quick, low-carb snack when you're on the go! Plant-based protein powder is an easy way to boost your daily protein intake. Although there are many low-carb and vegan protein powders available, some can be slightly higher in carbs than others, especially if they are flavored. The trick is to balance this with an adequate intake of fats throughout the day to meet your macro needs. We've added both almond butter and melted coconut oil to our recipe to help bind the mixture and increase the fat content. We used a vanilla Keto-friendly vegan protein powder. There are many protein powders on the market suitable for both Keto and plant-based diets, commonly made from soy or pea protein mixes. You can often find them plain or flavored, like vanilla or chocolate. Feel free to use any plant-based, low-carb protein powder you prefer, adjusting your macros accordingly for different brands.

The Best Keto Cheesecake

⭐ 4.7/5 (2640) 🔥 372 cal

There is nothing better than a creamy cheesecake that has a crispy crust yet melts in your mouth. This decadent low-carb dessert is one of the best Keto cheesecake recipes you'll ever come across. It requires a few staple ingredients, takes under 20 minutes of active prep time, and doesn't need baking; well, maybe we'll just bake the crust. This low-carb cheesecake is also egg-free and gluten-free. Its velvety center pairs beautifully with its crust and thick raspberry sauce. This delightful dessert is proof that there are many easy Keto recipes to help you stay on track. We really don't recommend skipping this step because you would end up with a doughy crust instead of a golden and crispy one. If you want a crust that doesn't require baking, you can replace the almond flour with crushed-up vanilla Keto cookies and reduce the sweetener to 2-3 tbsp. Mix these ingredients with the melted butter, press into a springform pan, and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to set. Of course, you can! If you omit the raspberry sauce, you can use this recipe as a base for endless Keto cheesecake flavors. Use the recipe exactly as it is if you are topping it with other fresh berries or a berry sauce. If you want to incorporate different flavors like chocolate, caramel, or peanut butter, then omit the lemon zest and juice from the recipe. Cover the cheesecake with a large bowl or place it in a cake container. Keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days. Yes, you can! Whether you want to freeze the whole thing or just a couple of slices, cover it and place it in the freezer until it is rock hard. Then wrap it well in cling film and return it to the freezer. It will last for up to 3 months. To thaw, take it out of the freezer, unwrap it, then place it in the fridge overnight.

Ultimate Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake
Gluten Free / Vegetarian

Ultimate Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake

⭐ 4.7/5 (2741) 🔥 365 cal

This deliciously creamy Keto cheesecake is rich with pumpkin and warming spices. The cheesecake filling sits on top of a toasted pecan and almond base, creating a low carb biscuit texture. This Keto dessert requires minimal cooking of the base before being layered with the filling and chilled until firm. This is a great make-ahead low carb dessert, perfect for Fall and Thanksgiving celebrations. Although it sits at the higher end of the low carb vegetable scale, pumpkin is ok in moderation as part of a balanced Keto diet. This Keto dessert recipe uses just one cup of pumpkin puree to provide flavor and sweetness. The recipe itself provides 8 servings, meaning the quantity of pumpkin is enough to enjoy the flavor without worrying about the carbs! This Keto dessert recipe has a no-bake filling. The base, however, is briefly baked to give it a toasty biscuit flavor. Once prepared, the filling is layered over the base and simply requires chilling time in the fridge to firm up. If you would like to go for a completely no-bake Keto dessert, you can skip the process of baking the base. Simply prepare the recipe as instructed, placing the base in the fridge to set and firm before adding your pumpkin filling. Be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes you may make to the recipe.

Keto Southern Baked Mac And Cheese

Keto Southern Baked Mac And Cheese

⭐ 4.7/5 (2883) 🔥 550 cal

This isn’t your regular mac and cheese! The American South puts its own twist on typical macaroni by turning it into a baked casserole-style of the dish. Keto shirataki elbow noodles are boiled until hot and poured into a dish filled with assorted cheeses and butter. The hot noodles melt all the cheese into a gooey mixture. Then, it’s filled with a casserole-style filling and baked until golden brown. This is a great dish to serve as a side to a meal or as part of your main course. You can easily slice the mac and cheese into squares for easy serving and for meal prepping. Keep the finished dish stored in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 5 days. Kids and adults alike will enjoy this extra-cheesy recipe! You might be able to see American Southern-style mac and cheese isn’t like you’ve made from a box before. Both this style of mac and cheese and traditional mac and cheese use multiple types of cheeses. This balances out the sharpness of cheddar cheese. This recipe, however, includes a liquid batter made with cream, buttermilk, egg, and a variety of spices. Some may consider this over-doing it on a simple pasta dish, but don’t knock it until you try it! You can imagine hundreds of years ago, the idea of a rich pasta filled with melted cheese was saved for special occasions and only to those who could afford it. As macaroni and cheese has evolved through the ages, the richness of the dish has intensified. A casserole-style macaroni loaded with cheese and “stretched out” with a rich dairy filling is iconic amongst African-American communities, especially in the South. You can imagine at holidays or special gatherings, serving a dish like this marked a happy occasion. Jessica L.

Curly Shoestring Keto Zucchini Fries
Gluten Free / Quick Easy

Curly Shoestring Keto Zucchini Fries

⭐ 4.7/5 (2456) 🔥 280 cal

These curly shoestring zucchini fries are a crispy, crunchy, and salty snack or side dish, similar to frizzled onions. Zucchini is spiralized into thin strands and baked to super crispiness, thanks to a pork rind breading that adds a fried texture without actual frying. Enjoy them straight or with ketchup or a Keto dipping sauce. Keep leftovers refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat in the microwave. For a variation, substitute butternut squash (though it's higher in carbs). Enhance the flavor with seasonings like cumin, paprika, and onion powder for a Southwest flavor, or garlic powder and Italian seasoning for a cheeseburger pairing. Jessica L.

Low Carb Bolognese Soup

⭐ 4.7/5 (1788) 🔥 400 cal

This Keto Bolognese soup captures the essence of a classic Bolognese, transforming it into a comforting and hearty soup served over low-carb vegetable spaghetti. It's an ideal lunch or light dinner, especially during colder months. Enjoy the beloved flavors of a family favorite without the carbs.

For a noodle-free option, simply omit them, further reducing the carb count. Enhance this Keto Bolognese soup with toasted low-carb bread or buttered Keto bread rolls for soaking up the delicious sauce. Alternatively, serve with a slice of hot, buttery Keto garlic bread or alongside an Italian-inspired side salad. Remember to adjust your macros to account for any recipe modifications and added sides or accompaniments.

Keto Chinese Braised Beef and Zucchini Noodles

⭐ 4.7/5 (2772) 🔥 500 cal

Keto Chinese Braised Beef achieves extra tenderness in an Instant Pot, although a Dutch oven can be used for braising as well. The tender beef is seasoned with Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, five-spice powder, and garlic. The dish is finished with a slight thickening using arrowroot powder to create a delicious glaze on the meat. Served atop slightly crunchy zucchini noodles, this braised beef is ideal for make-ahead meals; the recipe can be doubled and portioned for individual servings. Beef stew meat, pre-cut for convenience, is recommended. Chinese five-spice powder is available at Asian grocery stores and most supermarkets. Coconut aminos can be substituted for soy sauce, but add extra salt due to its lower sodium content.
