Low Carb Char Siu

⭐ 4.4/5 (1973) πŸ”₯ 550 cal

Low Carb Char Siu is specially formulated with fewer net carbs, utilizing similar ingredients to traditional char siu while keeping the carb count low by using less sauce relative to the meat. This recipe features tender boneless country-style pork ribs marinated in a sauce made from sweetener, five-spice powder, Szechuan peppercorns, white pepper, sesame seed oil, Shaoxing wine, kosher salt, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, molasses, minced garlic, and optional red food coloring. The pork is roasted under a broiler until charred, achieving a balance of sweet and savory flavors without excessive carbs. While some ingredients aren't typically considered low-carb, the overall carb content remains suitable for low-carb diets, and potentially for some keto diets. Serve over Low Carb Sriracha Chicken Fried Rice (https://www.carbmanager.com/recipe/low-carb-sriracha-chicken-fried-rice). Note: The recipe below doesn't explicitly list red food coloring, but 4-5 drops (or a drop of gel food coloring) can be added for traditional color.

Low Carb Fried Chicken and Chaffle Brunch

Low Carb Fried Chicken and Chaffle Brunch

⭐ 4.4/5 (2570) πŸ”₯ 700 cal

If you saw the chicken and waffles from brunch restaurants as towering and intimidating, you ll appreciate this manageable and scrumptious full Keto brunch recipe for larger morning meals or intermittent fasting. Instead of a waffles made with flour, you ll make a Keto chaffle, which comes out of a waffle maker perfectly. Served on top are 2-3 strips of fried chicken, made with a special extra-crispy Keto coating of spices and pork rinds. To fill out your meal for breaking your fast are healthy and nutritious sides of cauliflower rice thashbrowns and some lightly dressed fresh greens. It just like if you were served hot potatoes and a breakfast salad at your favorite dine-in place. No brunch is complete without freshly sliced avocado. The simple topping adds healthy fats and fiber to your day, which you ll need until the next big meal! Cauliflower has a pretty mild flavor that can take on other flavorings like tofu does. To make cauliflower taste more like potatoes, think about how you season potatoes for different dishes. For a breakfast or brunch dish, seasonings like paprika, pepper, and plenty of salt will help. For a dinner-feel, season cauliflower with garlic and rosemary. A Keto chaffle is a combination of two things: cheese and egg. But the ingredients are cooked in a waffle maker! Using an extra amount of cheese makes crispy, waffle-like results that are flexible and chewy. If you don have a waffle maker, you can still cook chaffles in a pan like a pancake. Just use a little coconut oil to cook the batter.

Keto Chicken, Sundried Tomato, Mozzarella and Basil Salad

⭐ 4.4/5 (2235) πŸ”₯ 550 cal

This flavorsome Keto salad is rich in healthy fats and low carb veggies.

The salad is then drizzled with a little lemon juice and olive oil to serve. Perfect for a low carb lunch or a light Keto dinner option. We have used tender mozzarella cheese to add fats and flavor to our Keto salad recipe. If preferred, you may substitute the mozzarella for an alternative cheese. Crumbled feta or goats cheese would make tasty substitutions in this recipe. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe. We have used precooked chicken for our low carb salad recipe. You can use any leftover home-cooked chicken, precooked shop-bought chicken (without added sugars), or rotisserie chicken. You can use any cut of chicken you prefer, however dark meat cuts such as thigh or leg will provide more fats and flavor.

Best Plant Based Keto Cream Cheese

⭐ 4.4/5 (2210) πŸ”₯ 50 cal

This Keto cream cheese is smooth, subtle, and rich without a hint of dairy. Spread this creamy goodness on Keto bagels or use it as a base for dips. This dairy-free version is creamy, tangy, and decadent. Soaking or boiling the cashews is critical to help break down and release the natural fats, preventing grainy cheese. A blender can be used instead of a food processor for optimal results. Spice up your Keto plant-based diet by creating different flavored versions, such as garlic and dill, chives, or jalapenos.

Low Carb Cream Of Tomato And Basil Soup

⭐ 4.4/5 (2118) πŸ”₯ 290 cal

This creamy Keto tomato soup is rich with flavor and Keto friendly fats. This quick and easy soup makes a great lunch or dinner option, and with a hint of Mediterranean herbs, we think this works just as well as a summer or winter dish! Ideal for batch cooking weekday meals that the whole family can enjoy. Soup can make an excellent addition to your Keto diet plan. Simple to prepare and quick to cook, soups are a great choice when you are short on time and only have the essentials and pantry staples to hand. To ensure soup is Keto compliant, low carb vegetables and Keto friendly fats are the key. This can also be combined with a source of protein if desired. We have used tomatoes in our soup. Enough to provide flavor, but less than a typical tomato soup recipe. This helps keep the carb count down. We have also stirred heavy cream into our tomato soup to give extra richness and provide a hearty helping of fats. This warming Keto tomato soup makes a hearty lunch or light dinner option. Perfect served with sliced or toasted Keto bread for dipping. If you would like to batch cook the soup for meals throughout the week, you can prepare the soup as per the instructions until blended. Then simply reheat the soup and add the cream and basil fresh, as and when you are ready to serve.

⭐ 4.4/5 (1779) πŸ”₯ 200 cal

This easy Keto recipe is more of a guided list of ingredients with substitution suggestions. Perfect for beginners, it's as simple as assembling ingredients on a plate. Cooking time is mainly for the hard-boiled egg, which can be pre-cooked for convenience. This snack is great for meal prepping or easing into the Keto diet. Almonds provide magnesium and fiber, reducing net carbs and offering healthy fats. Avocados are a superfood, rich in healthy fats and fiber, providing beneficial carbs. Whole milk dairy, like cheddar cheese, is acceptable in moderation for its saturated fats. Avoid part-skim or low-fat options, which have more carbs.

Keto Caprese Chicken Bites Meal Prep

⭐ 4.4/5 (1026) πŸ”₯ 370 cal

If you need to throw together some meal prepping fast, keep this Keto meal prep recipe in your back pocket! Bite-sized chunks of chicken are cooked to golden and drowned in a scratch-made pesto sauce. Your pesto sauce comes together in just 60 seconds but tastes just as good as grandma s classic pesto. Some low-carb grape tomatoes and whole-milk mozzarella mixed into the chicken completes this super-easy meal. Just adjust the recipe to make as many servings as you want, and quickly portion your caprese mix amongst your meal prep containers. If you need a snack between meals, just divide these servings in half! You can keep the finished recipe stored in your refrigerator for up to 5 days for freshness. Since you have fresh grape tomatoes and mozzarella in your Keto meal, the dish is best served cold. When cooking the chicken, make sure the thickest pieces reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees. After you sve mixed the final recipe together, if the chicken is still hot, you can eat the meal as is. However, if your chicken is getting closer to room temperature, you need to chill the chicken in your refrigerator so it doesn st make you sick. Even hungrier but are still in a pinch for time? There are some simple ingredients you can quickly add to your caprese meal prep. The simplest would be to add a handful of fresh greens, such as spinach or arugula, to your meal. Sliced mushrooms can also add more bulk to your meal, and they ll marinate in your yummy pesto sauce over time! Jessica L.
