Arugula and Prosciutto Salad
April 25, 2019 by Leave a Comment
I am loving prosciutto right now! So, I decided to crisp some up for a delicious single-serving salad. I paired it with a maple syrup dressing and sprinkled on some crumbly blue cheese. Digging into it, I couldn’t help but think that nothing could be tastier. For the dressing, I used ‘Can-Natur Sugar-Free Syrup’ which is great because it has zero calories and zero carbs. If you can’t find this syrup, I suggest trying a monk fruit maple syrup, such as Lakanto. This salad is single ...

Simple Radish Salad
April 18, 2019 by Leave a Comment
This recipe is an incredibly simple salad that requires no cooking at all! The radish slices provide a nice crunch that goes well with the garlic Parmesan dressing! I used an arugula mix for the lettuce, but you can use any kind of lettuce you’d like. I also used Dijon mustard for the dressing, but if this is something you don’t have, regular mustard will do the trick. I would highly recommend buying a brick or triangle of Parmesan cheese to grate it yourself if possible. Many ...

Dairy-Free Dark Chocolate Shake
April 9, 2019 by Leave a Comment
On a typical weekday, we may not always have time to enjoy a satisfying breakfast. Busy schedules and on-the-go mornings can leave you without enough time to whip up a keto breakfast. Those are the days that I love having a simple but decadent shake that I can drink in the car or sip while I work on my early morning task list. Not to mention it’s unbelievably thick, rich, and dark chocolatey! After years of being a smoothie fiend, I’ve found that the best way to add thickness and ...

Creamy Shrimp Salad
April 4, 2019 by Leave a Comment
A quick and easy shrimp salad that’s perfect for warmer weather. The dill adds a refreshing taste and the crunchy texture of the lettuce works well with the mayonnaise dressing. This delicious salad is stuffed with both fat and protein while having just a few carbs per serving. In this salad, I used Boston lettuce (also known as butterhead or bibb), but romaine would work as well! I would avoid lettuce like iceberg, just because it may be too difficult to eat. I also used pre-cooked and ...

Vegetarian Taco Stuffed Avocados
April 2, 2019 by Leave a Comment
Vegetarian tacos often mean substituting ground beef, or chicken, for loads of highly processed vegetarian “meat” items which can also be very expensive. Other alternatives for vegetarians might include heaping scoops of beans or rice which are also not part of the ketogenic way of life. My solution? An old school vegetarian meat substitute that can be seasoned to impersonate multiple different recipes: walnut meat! It may sound strange at first, but raw walnuts have a unique texture that ...

Dark leafy greens are the hearty base to stand up to piles of prosciutto and a dose of creamy goat cheese. Not a fan of goat cheese? That’s ok!
