Keto Holiday Ham Stuffed Mushroom Caps

⭐ 4.7/5 (1621) 🔥 231 cal

If you enjoy ham at your holiday meals, you may feel bummed you don get to eat as much at mealtime as you have in the past after starting your Keto diet. The universal rule is, however, that the holiday leftovers always taste better than the first meal anyway! Fill a tupperware with leftover holiday ham and bring it home to use in your Keto meal planning for the following week. In this recipe, you mix chopped leftover ham with seasoned and buttered cauliflower rice. The filling is stuffed into prepared portobello mushroom caps and topped with toasted pecans and pork rind breadcrumbs. The ham-stuffed mushrooms are then baked to perfection in your oven. Further in this recipe introduction are side dish suggestions, if you d like a more filling meal. To cut down on even more time, you can follow the Carb Manager Ham Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms With Buttery Bacon Broccoli recipe, where a side dish has been added for you. If it s not the holidays and you don have any leftover ham to use, that doesn mean you can still use this Keto recipe. This is still a simple lunch you can make for yourself while using store-bought ham. The best substitution is pre-cooked, thick-sliced ham. You can find this style of ham typically in the refrigerated breakfast meats section of your grocery store, where bacon and pork sausage are sold. You may also use pre-diced ham. If you don have these options available to you, deli-sliced ham is okay too. Watch out for anything with honey or maple in the name, and make sure you re not glossing over added sugars you will want to avoid. If you don want to include the Buttery Bacon Broccoli with your stuffed mushroom caps, don worry. There are many other Carb Manager side dishes that will keep your carbohydrates low you can make. For a quick cold side dish, make the Keto Sweet and Spicy Cucumber Salad. All you have to do is let the prepared ingredients marinate in your refrigerator for minimal work. Try the Cacio E Pepe Zoodle recipe for a low carb pasta replacement. For a hot side you can prepare in large quantities for meal prepping, the BBQ Summer Squash Tex-Mex Casserole is for you.

Low Carb Mini Quiche Breakfast Meal Prep

Each serving includes fresh berries and salted, roasted almonds for added fat and flavor. For those needing more calories, extra quiches or olives can be added. This recipe is paleo-friendly and customizable with berries like strawberries or blueberries. Using pasture-raised eggs enhances the nutritional value with more Vitamin E and Omega-3 fats. The quiche should be reheated separately from the almonds and berries. Meals can be prepped up to five days in advance, stored in the fridge, and the salted, roasted almonds are inspired by the Chili and Vinegar Almonds recipe.

Low Carb Chorizo Rice Salad
Gluten Free / Lunch

Low Carb Chorizo Rice Salad

⭐ 4.7/5 (1711) 🔥 450 cal

This tasty Keto salad recipe makes a delicious lunch or light dinner option. Our low carb dish is prepared with cauliflower rice, smoky Spanish chorizo, zesty lime juice, creamy avocado, juicy cherry tomatoes, cooling cucumber, fragrant fresh cilantro, and peppery arugula. The salad requires minimal cooking of the cauliflower and chorizo before being brought together and drizzled with a tangy chorizo oil dressing. Cauliflower rice is a great Keto-friendly grain alternative. Having increased in popularity over the last few years, it can now often be found ready prepared in many grocery stores, either fresh or frozen. If you cannot source cauliflower rice or prefer to make your own, it is very simple to prepare. Simply use a box grater to shred cauliflower florets into grain-sized pieces until you have the required quantity. We have used Spanish chorizo for this Keto salad recipe. Spanish chorizo is cured; therefore, it can be eaten as it is or may be cooked. We have cooked our Spanish chorizo, allowing it to release its oils to be incorporated into our salad dressing. Like Spanish chorizo, Mexican chorizo consists of a seasoned and spiced pork blend. Mexican chorizo, however, is raw and must be cooked. You may use Mexico can chorizo if preferred for this recipe, adjusting cooking times and macros accordingly.

Keto Vegan Vanilla Coconut Custard
Desserts / Gluten Free

Keto Vegan Vanilla Coconut Custard

⭐ 4.7/5 (1362) 🔥 450 cal

This vegan Keto custard is simple to prepare and deliciously thick and creamy. Our simple low carb custard is prepared with coconut cream, almond milk, vanilla extract, and low carb maple-flavored syrup. Once heated through, the liquids are cooked with a little xanthan gum until thickened to a custard consistency. This is a great vegan/egg-free custard option, perfect for serving over your low carb crumbles and sponge puddings! We have used a low carb maple-flavored syrup to sweeten our vegan Keto custard. You can use any low carb sweetener you prefer, adjusting the quantities as needed to reach your desired sweetness. Please be sure to adjust your macros accordingly for any changes made to the original recipe. We have added xanthan gum to our custard base to thicken the liquids, creating a creamy egg-free custard consistency. Xanthan gum is a great gluten-free and Keto-friendly thickening agent that works in place of traditional carb-heavy thickeners such as flour and cornstarch. Adding the xanthan gum is crucial as this is what is needed to thicken the liquids and achieve the desired texture. We have used 1 and a half teaspoons of xanthan gum to the recipe, creating a thick yet pourable custard. You may add more or less as desired to reach your preferred consistency.

Low Carb Greek Herby Beef Stuffed zucchinis with a Creamy Lemon Sauce
Gluten Free / Lunch

Low Carb Greek Herby Beef Stuffed zucchinis with a Creamy Lemon Sauce

⭐ 4.7/5 (1151) 🔥 500 cal

Beef up summer vegetables with a hearty mix of lemon zest and herbs. This rustic Greek dish is perfect for summer nights or equally enjoyed as a winter comfort. Lemon adds acidity to give this low carb dish a lift, and all the herbs make it deliciously light and fragrant. Simple ingredients with maximum taste. This dish is a little hands-on but certainly not difficult and can be prepared the day before serving. Ground beef can be switched to another ground meat for this dish; ground pork, turkey, or a combination are great alternatives. For a veggie version, try replacing the beef with 200g cauliflower rice and 30g ground almonds mixed with all the herbs and increase to 2 eggs to help bind the mixture. You can also make this dish dairy-free by swapping out the cream cheese for a plant-based alternative, unsweetened almond milk. Guar gum, also known as guar flour or guaran, is a food additive in powder form that typically acts as a thickener, binding agent, and has gelling properties. Guar gum actually comes from legumes called guar beans, but the carbohydrate content is mostly soluble fiber, meaning it doesn interfere with ketosis and offers valuable dietary fiber to the low-fiber diet. So in short, yes, guar gum is Keto! It ’s a great alternative to corn starch. Guar gum has very strong binding properties so use it sparingly ( ½ teaspoon at a time) to thicken sauces and always dilute in cold water first to avoid clumps in your sauce. For best results, use a dutch oven or covered casserole dish to retain the steam and moisture. If you don ’t have one available, simply cover the oven dish with aluminum foil. Leaving the zucchinis exposed creates tougher skin. If you ’re short on time, you can make the sauce while the zucchinis are cooking and use hot water in place of the juice from the zucchinis. If you have a bit more time, wait until the zucchinis have cooked to take about 1.5 cups of the meat and zucchini juice that has been released. The added flavors will be worth the wait! If the sauce is too watery, give it more time to thicken before adding in another 1/2 tsp guar gum.

These Keto chicken drumsticks are the perfect main served alongside your favorite kid-friendly low carb sides. Why not try with one of our Keto slaws or some low carb fries?

Keto Artichoke Pecan Arugula Salad

Keto Artichoke Pecan Arugula Salad

⭐ 4.7/5 (2337) 🔥 400 cal

In a pinch to complete a full meal at dinner time? You can make this really quick salad to add nutrients and a little extra Keto fat to your plate. Dark, leafy arugula makes a peppery base for the salad, dressed with a simple combo of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Tangy marinated artichoke hearts and warm, toasted pecans finish the salad. Since this Keto recipe is so simple, you can add on additional ingredients at your discretion. Some recommendations are mentioned further below. Otherwise, this fresh side salad is vegetarian and vegan, so anyone can enjoy it. You may also add other flavoring agents, such as garlic, grated ginger, or dried herbs to the salad dressing to enhance the taste. If you like to add more to the base of this Keto salad recipe, there are many options that are friendly to your diet. If you like the salad to remain vegetarian, you can add chopped avocado or whole milk mozzarella cheese in the final step. If you eat animal proteins, there are many delicious options that would complement the salad. Try smoked salmon lox, anchovies, or cooked chicken strips. Crumbled bacon bits would also make a yummy topping and add even more Keto fat to the final product. If you want to quickly throw this salad together, and you don have arugula on hand, you can substitute it with other staple greens you can find in your refrigerator. In fact, some of the most Keto-friendly vegetables are dark, leafy greens. In place of arugula, you can use spinach, kale, or a mix of the two. Spinach and kale can tend to be a little more bitter than arugula. To combat this, you can add an extra pinch of salt to the salad or a squeeze of lemon juice to the dressing. Jessica L.

⭐ 4.7/5 (2837) 🔥 275 cal

The secret to a great meal is a delicious sauce that goes with everything. Keto Thai food is not complete without a yummy sauce, and this peanut sauce will make every meal a winner. Thai peanut sauce is nutty, savory, salty, and a little sweet. You can make this recipe in under 10 minutes. It’s great for adding fat and flavor to a meal prep lunch or dinner. Don’t restrict peanut sauce just to Thai and other Asian dishes! Use your Keto Thai peanut sauce to dress up chicken, shrimp, or your favorite low-carb vegetables. After cooling, store it in a glass jar for safekeeping. Seal the jar, and keep the sauce refrigerated for up to 7 days. Reheat the sauce once to avoid separation from overheating. Take only what you need from storage. Sugar-free maple syrup can be found in some grocery stores or special-diet aisles. Check the label to ensure it is sugar-free and doesn’t contain sucralose. Purchase Keto sugar-free maple syrup online if needed. The sauce is thick enough to serve as a dipping sauce. Dip veggies or chicken strips into the sauce! You can also cook the sauce with noodles. Warm the sauce in a pan and toss your preferred Keto noodles. Coat veggies in the sauce before roasting them in your oven.
