This low FODMAP soup recipe offers a light and refreshing meal, perfect for those seeking a cleanse. Its vibrant green hue comes from a blend of broccoli, spinach, and kale, complemented by the savory depth of miso paste. Ready in under 30 minutes with just 8 core ingredients, this recipe yields 6 main course servings or 8-10 starter portions. A blender, food processor, or stick blender is needed for a smooth texture, though it can also be enjoyed as a clear vegetable soup. Feel free to adjust the spinach and kale ratios to your liking, ensuring you use English spinach for optimal low-FODMAP benefits. Garnish with fresh chives, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and a dollop of lactose-free yogurt, cottage cheese, or feta for a delightful finish.
Vegetarian and tired of cream cheese-filled Keto pizza doughs? Try these mini eggplant pizzas! Thick-cut eggplant slices act as your pizza , topped with vegetarian ingredients. Marinara, spinach, and mozzarella cheese top the pizzas. An Italian-inspired arugula salad with artichokes, tomatoes, and mushrooms marinated in oil, vinegar, and seasonings accompanies the pizzas. This recipe is a complete meal! For vegetarians on a Keto diet, Carb Manager suggests portabella mushroom caps as an eggplant alternative. These caps are portion-sized, low-carb, and hold lots of sauce and toppings. Customize your eggplant mini pizzas with mushrooms, peppers, or olives. To make it vegan, omit the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. Prepare a bulk version for meal prep, storing completed eggplant pizzas in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. For fresher taste, prepare the pizzas up to cooking and refrigerate. Cook when ready to eat. For the salad, mix all ingredients except arugula and toss just before serving to prevent soggy greens.
A refreshingly delicious Keto Mojito, perfect for a hot summer day! This keto-friendly cocktail combines the tropical flavors of coconut cream and rum with the crispness of mint and lime. Erythritol and sugar-free vanilla syrup balance the acidity of the lime, but adjust to your preference. For a stronger flavor, use coconut-flavored rum. For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum for a virgin Coco-Mojito! Feel free to substitute gin or vodka for the rum, or use any sweetener you like in place of the syrup.
This braised pork shoulder recipe is a delicious and easy way to cook a tough cut of meat, perfect for low-carb and keto diets. The pork shoulder steaks are browned to perfection and then braised with celery, garlic, rutabaga, and red onion in a simple mixture of white wine and chicken stock. Feel free to customize the recipe by swapping out the acid for a different vinegar and the herbs for other herbs. You can also use other keto-friendly root vegetables like daikon. Serve with a side of fresh avocado with sea salt, a dark green vegetable, or cauliflower mash.
Our Keto short ribs slow cooker recipe yields unbelievably tender and heavenly-tasting results. This dish is the ultimate low-carb comfort food, requiring only 20 minutes of active cooking before the crockpot takes over. The beef falls off the bone and melts in your mouth. The ribs leave behind a flavorful base ideal for gravy. While the beef and gravy are balanced on their own, enhance the meal with a simple Keto side like cauliflower mash or steamed asparagus. Searing the beef beforehand builds flavor and renders fat, achieving a desirable caramelization. A heavy cast-iron pan ensures even browning and proper fat rendering. Short ribs are perfect for grilling or slow cooking due to their marbling, which creates a super tender texture. Bone-in ribs are preferred, but boneless can be substituted. Alternatively, beef chuck roast or flank can be used if ribs are not desired.
This simple but flavorful dish is packed with low carb cabbage, sweet onion, and smoky chorizo. This is a great sharing side to accompany pork or chicken dishes.
These Keto egg cups are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They feature a mix of onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and broccoli, seasoned with taco-style spices (but not spicy!). The egg batter includes a pinch of crushed red pepper and colby jack cheese. This recipe is suitable for both omnivores and vegetarians. Avoid using cupcake liners to prevent soggy egg cups; instead, use pan spray. You can prepare the vegetables in advance and store the egg batter in the fridge overnight. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for longer storage. Jessica L.
This multigrain loaf is packed with healthy fiber from chia seeds, flax seeds, and almond flour. A small amount of honey is used to activate the yeast, which is then fully consumed during the long proof time, resulting in a keto and paleo-friendly bread. Feel free to add sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, or walnuts for extra flavor and texture.
Low Carb Garlic Tofu and Japanese Eggplant Stir Fry is a delightful vegan dish, rich in antioxidants like Vitamins A and C, thanks to the eggplant. Eggplant also boasts polyphenols, which may aid in blood glucose regulation. Firm tofu is air-fried to a golden brown and then set aside. The eggplant is sautéed with fresh minced garlic and soy sauce. The tofu is then added back, gently tossed, and heated through. Serve this flavorful mixture over warm cauliflower rice for a satisfying meal. Feel free to substitute regular eggplant for Japanese eggplant, though we prefer Japanese eggplant for its firmer texture and sweeter taste, found in specialty grocery stores or Asian markets. It is important to use firm tofu for its ease of sautéing and high protein content. Super firm tofu is also an option, but it will change the macros. Customize this recipe in the Carb Manager app to fit your preferences. If you don't have an air fryer, baking the tofu at 400 F will yield similar results.
