Keto Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew

You don have to spend another penny at any coffee shop, splurging on sugar-free alternatives and dairy substitutes. You can make your own pumpkin spice-flavored coffee drinks at home with a fraction of the ingredients that are all-natural. This cold brew recipe is easy to make because you just have to pick your favorite brand of cold brew. You ll make pumpkin spice milk using almond milk, some whole dairy fat, real pumpkin puree, and a couple of spices. Although the pumpkin milk itself is highly concentrated with flavor, it perfect for pouring into any Keto coffee drink. You ll love pouring your cold brew coffee and pumpkin spice milk together in an insulated transportable coffee cup before heading out the door in the morning. Just add a plastic-free straw and your pumpkin spice look is complete! If you want to make your own cold brew, there are a few options. Some coffee machines have an option to brew cold brew coffee without you having to do anything extra. Otherwise, you can brew your favorite brand of coffee as you would normally, but allow it to continue brewing overnight in your refrigerator as it chills down. You can also make cold brew coffee with a French coffee press, leaving the coffee grounds to steep for 24 hours or more. Cold brew coffee is known for being stronger than regular coffee because it brews for longer while it continues to chill down to a cold temperature. Iced coffee on the other hand will be regular-strength coffee that is chilled before being mixed with other flavors. Iced coffees tend to include more sugar and sweet flavorings than cold brew drinks. Unless you re a connoisseur with a refined taste for coffee, it very hard to tell the difference between a cup of black cold brew and iced coffee!

Zero Waste Keto Celery and Spinach Keto Juice

⭐ 4.4/5 (1114) 🔥 40 cal

Starting your day with a vibrant green juice is a popular health trend. However, opting for store-bought options can be environmentally unfriendly due to vegetable waste and plastic packaging. This recipe focuses on reducing waste by utilizing the entire vegetable, including edible parts like skin, peels, and stems, which often get discarded. We'll be using celery stalks and leaves, as well as spinach, and repurposing the leftover pulp into delicious fritters (recipe link provided). This detox juice offers a convenient way to obtain essential nutrients from vegetables, potentially aiding in toxin elimination, improved digestion, and increased energy. Unlike many juice recipes that require a juicer, this Keto-friendly version uses a blender and a straining method. Simply blend your choice of Keto-friendly fruits and vegetables with a bit of water until smooth. Then, strain the mixture through a cloth-lined sieve or a nut milk bag to separate the juice from the pulp. Due to the fibrous nature of celery, a high-speed blender or food processor is recommended. If using a regular blender, blend in intervals, stirring occasionally, and add more water as needed. Feel free to customize the recipe with nutrient-rich greens like kale, chard, and herbs, as well as non-starchy vegetables like cucumbers, beets, and ginger. Limit fruit due to its high sugar content, opting for small quantities or sticking to lemon and lime.

Keto Vegan Shawarma Meal Prep with Tahini Dressing

⭐ 4.4/5 (2593) 🔥 700 cal

This recipe offers a delicious and protein-rich vegan Keto meal prep option. With 18g of protein per serving, this meat-free shawarma is packed with low-carb vegetables and spices, complemented by a creamy tahini dressing. The recipe features pea protein crumbles, a Keto-friendly, gluten-free, and plant-based protein source, making it an excellent meat substitute for dishes like tacos, Keto Bolognese, or chili. These crumbles, made from dried split peas, are soy-free, wheat-free, and less processed than TVP. Rehydrated in hot water, they mimic the texture of cooked ground meat and absorb flavors well. For those preferring whole foods, a mix of sauteed mushrooms and crushed walnuts can replace the pea protein crumbles. Alternatively, ground beef, chicken, or turkey can be used for a non-vegan version. To prepare, simply substitute the vegetarian protein with 1 pound of your chosen meat. This shawarma can be stored in microwave-safe containers in the fridge for up to 4 days, with the tahini dressing kept separately. Reheat for 1-2 minutes and drizzle with dressing before serving.

Keto Indian Fish Patties

⭐ 4.4/5 (1611) 🔥 360 cal

These Keto Indian inspired fish patties are loaded with aromatic spices and baked until crisp and golden. Our Keto Indian fish recipe blends canned salmon, fiery chili, fragrant herbs, and fresh scallions with a touch of mayonnaise to bind. Once formed, the patties are coated in a spiced ground almond crumb and oven-baked. These make a delicious Keto lunch or starter option. We have used canned salmon for our Keto fish patties. Salmon is a great Keto friendly fish option as it is naturally rich in fats and omega 3 s. If you would like to use an alternative fish, canned tuna would be a good substitute. Follow the recipe exactly as written, swapping the salmon for the same quantity of tuna. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the recipe. These delicious spicy fish cakes make a great light lunch option served with a hearty salad or an Indian inspired slaw. Alternatively, these would make a great starter or low carb snack option. Perfect served with a cooling Keto raita dip or vegetable chutney.

Keto Ham Hash

⭐ 4.4/5 (1283) 🔥 520 cal

Transform your Keto Thanksgiving leftovers into a delectable Keto Ham Hash! This recipe utilizes leftover ham, sautéed with minced garlic, white mushrooms, zucchini, bell peppers, and Brussels sprouts, all crowned with a layer of melted, creamy Chihuahua cheese. It's the perfect low-carb lunch to enjoy after Thanksgiving, offering high fiber, low carbs, and healthy fats to keep you satisfied for hours. We recommend using a store-bought spiral sliced ham, cooked without the glaze packet from your Keto Thanksgiving meal. A ham steak also works well. Feel free to customize this dish with your favorite low-carb vegetables. Ensure they are cut to a similar size for even cooking. Consider adding poblanos (for heat), onions, kale, broccoli, baby spinach, or asparagus. For those avoiding dairy, the cheese can be omitted. If you're a cheese lover, experiment with shredded pepper jack, cheddar, or Swiss. Enhance your meal by serving it with other Keto Thanksgiving leftovers, such as Low Carb Ultimate Green Bean Casserole.

Keto Raspberry Chicken Parmesan Salad

⭐ 4.4/5 (2786) 🔥 450 cal

For more fat, try pairing your salad with one of Carb Manager’s Keto fat bombs. This way, you’re not overfilling yourself but still meeting your macros.

Not too many vegetables will pair with raspberries, but chopped cucumbers or grape tomatoes will. Instead of making this salad for a holiday meal, make it for your meal prep! Keep cooked chicken, seasoned salad, and raspberry vinaigrette separate from each other. Then, combine the ingredients to make your salad for lunch.

Keto Mole Chicken Wings

⭐ 4.4/5 (2561) 🔥 240 cal

Don let the recipe times scare you off! Most of the time needed for this recipe is to let ingredients “do their thing” and marinate together to develop their flavors. Skin-on chicken wings are marinated in a savory and bright blend of spices before baked on an oven rack. The chicken wings are baked two more times coated in a rich, thick Mexican mole sauce. The mole sauce has a little heat, flavors of onion and sesame, and a hint of cacao. This traditional sauce gets a Keto twist for a recipe that is finger-licking-good. After the wings are tossed in the creamy mole sauce, grab your share before they’re all gone! You can enjoy these chicken wings as a snack to enjoy throughout the week, as part of a larger Keto meal, or as yummy finger food to share with a group. Mole sauce is a Mexican condiment for marinating and smothering foods. Mole is made with chiles, but different types of chiles make different types of moles. The traditional sauce can be red, brown, black, yellow, or green. This mole is made with guaijllo peppers, which score as slightly milder than a jalapeno on the Scoville scale. Traditional-style mole sauce can cook for hours or even days, but this Keto version can be made in under an hour. Chicken is a protein that can hold on to many flavors and can withstand longer marinating times. In most recipes, around 6 hours is a good amount of time for chicken to marinate. However, you can marinate chicken for even longer than that for more complex flavors, which can be especially yummy if you’re grilling foods. Chicken wings can marinate for up to 24 hours for the most flavor. Jessica L.
