Low Carb Berry Protein Smoothie

⭐ 4.5/5 (1256) πŸ”₯ 250 cal

This sweet and creamy Keto smoothie is packed with flavor, fats, and protein - perfect for kickstarting your day. Our simple low-carb smoothie is prepared with unsweetened almond milk, Greek yogurt, frozen low-carb berries, low-carb maple-flavored syrup, a hint of cinnamon, and smooth almond butter. This creamy Keto smoothie makes a great low-carb breakfast option or daytime snack. To achieve the best cooling effect, use frozen raspberries instead of fresh ones, and place the Keto plant-based milk and heavy cream in the freezer for 30 minutes before preparation. That ensures that the final product is cooling and hydrating. We have used rich and creamy Greek yogurt to add fats, protein, and some thickness to our Keto smoothie. If you would like to make the recipe dairy-free you can swap the Greek yogurt directly for a Keto-friendly coconut milk-based yogurt. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe. Using coconut milk yogurt will also lower the protein content. We have added a little low-carb maple-flavored syrup to our Keto berry protein smoothie. You can adjust the level of sweetener to taste or omit it entirely if preferred. You can also use an alternative Keto sweetener if desired or even add a little extra cinnamon, adjusting quantities to taste as needed.

Keto Dandelion Spinach Blueberry Salad

Keto Dandelion Spinach Blueberry Salad

⭐ 4.5/5 (2472) πŸ”₯ 350 cal

This salad combines the slightly bitter taste of dandelion greens with the mild, tender flavor of spinach, complemented by the sweetness of blueberries and a satisfying crunch. Dandelion greens and baby spinach are tossed in a vinaigrette made with extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, and pink Himalayan sea salt. The vinaigrette is intentionally tart to avoid making the greens soggy. Crispy slices of spicy capocolla add a savory element to the salad, while bursts of blueberry provide a sweet contrast. This salad can be customized by adding grilled chicken, shrimp, beef, or hard-boiled eggs. If dandelion greens are unavailable, arugula is a suitable substitute. Other cured meats like salami or prosciutto can also be used, as long as they are thinly sliced to ensure crispiness. Consider serving this dandelion salad with Keto Crispy Parmesan Chicken Thighs (https://www.carbmanager.com/recipe/keto-crispy-parmesan-chicken-thighs).

Low Carb Basic Bloody Mary

⭐ 4.5/5 (2809) πŸ”₯ 35 cal

Create a personalized scratch-made Bloody Mary mix using pantry staples. This recipe yields a briny and slightly spicy mix, but feel free to adjust ingredients to your taste. Just add a shot of your favorite vodka (avoiding flavored varieties). For a Keto Bloody Mary, use a pre-made mix, check the nutrition label for carbs, and limit the mix to 4 ounces. This versatile recipe starts with 4oz plain tomato juice as a base. Adjust the low-carb ingredients to your liking. Customize the flavor with your favorite Keto-friendly hot sauce, onion powder, or celery salt. Garnish with olives, pickles, celery sticks, cheese cubes, or mini cheeseburgers. Pure alcohols like vodka, rum, tequila, and gin are Keto-friendly with 0g carbs. Since pre-mixed cocktails are not Keto-friendly, pay attention to the carbs in tomato juice. Reduce the portion to a 4oz short drink to stay within your macros. A half-cup of tomato juice typically has 5g carbs.

Slow Cooker Keto Taco Soup

⭐ 4.5/5 (5) πŸ”₯ 400 cal

Indulge in the rich and comforting flavors of Keto taco soup, a hearty and satisfying low-carb meal perfect for any occasion. This recipe utilizes a slow cooker to create a thick, flavorful soup that's packed with delicious textures. Unlike traditional taco soup, this Keto-friendly version omits high-carb ingredients like corn, beans, and tortillas, while carefully moderating seasoning and vegetable quantities to maintain its Keto status. Prepare a double batch and freeze individual portions for quick and convenient meals on busy weeknights. With just 15 minutes of active cooking time, this slow cooker recipe allows you to set it and forget it, freeing you up for other tasks while the soup simmers to perfection. For those without a slow cooker, an instant pot or Dutch oven can be used as alternatives. Browning the ground beef beforehand adds a deeper flavor and enhanced texture, but can be skipped if time is short.

Keto Smoked Salmon Sushi Toast
Gluten Free / Lunch

Keto Smoked Salmon Sushi Toast

⭐ 4.5/5 (2159) πŸ”₯ 310 cal

Keto bread topped with fresh, low carb, smoked salmon, crisp cucumber slices, carrot strips, and caviar makes for a beautiful Keto appetizer. The toast is served with prepared wasabi on the side, which makes this an easy Keto appetizer recipe. A drizzle of soy sauce over the top of the smoked salmon would be delicious, or substitute with coconut amino acids if you are Paleo. For extra flavor, toast the bread by layering Keto bread slices with butter or mayo and toasting them on both sides on low heat in a saute pan until browned. Since low carb bread does not contain gluten, it will not brown as quickly, so the heat will need to be low and slow. Slather the slices of toast with mayo (like Japanese Kewpie mayo) and then top with the rest of the ingredients. This dish pairs well with an avocado dish like Avocado-Cucumber Salad.
