If you’re truly serious about going full on keto, think about doing cooking yourself. Unless you can afford to have each and every meal prepared and/or delivered at your door step.
Cooking your own food is not only healthier, you know exactly what’s going in your meal. You’ll be able to perfectly portion the fat, protein and carbohydrates, making sure they are in the right quantities. Here are some quick and easy keto meals you can make today!
So, get your chef hat and apron, and fire up the burner! The sections below give you keto-friendly substitutions for your favorite recipes.
1. Creamy Garlic Chicken
Remember how keto is all about high quantities of fat? Well, this is one of those perfect keto meals you can easily make at home. Make sure the cream you use is full-fat; not only will it fulfill the fat requirement, it makes for a delicious sauce for this simple Italian meal. Add in sun dried tomatoes and garlic, and you have an awesomely delicious creamy and tangy meal!
2. Butter Chicken Gravy
Craving some butter and chicken, with some traditional Indian spices, look no further. This fat-rich, nutritional masterpiece can get your taste buds all excited with the first bite. Like a lot of Indian recipes, you can use ‘desi ghee’ instead of butter as well. Believe it or not but if you compare the two, the desi ghee is considered as a far superior saturated fat than butter.
3. Beef Stuffed Avocados
Avocados had been all the rage when every nutritionist and dietician was praising its health benefits. It’s still popular among the health conscious because of its high saturated fat content and plenty of fiber.
This is also something that makes it perfect for keto, so why not make some spicy minced beef with cheese and fill up the avocados. What you get is an easy-to-prepare meal that’s tasty, filling and healthy!
4. Loaded Cauliflower & Cheese
Because you can’t have potatoes in keto due to their high levels of starch, cauliflower is a good option. Not only does it taste just as good, it’s also high in fiber, something that helps your digestive system. So, get some butter, cream, cheese, bacon and cauliflower to make this yummy dish.
Mash and the cauliflower after steaming it, and top it off with the remaining ingredients for a yummy-licious meal!
It took some time but the health-conscious community is finally letting fatty foods make a comeback!
So don’t hold back on your keto diet and start cooking some of these delicious recipes today!
