This Keto trail mix is rich in healthy fats, warming spices, and a little sweetness. Our low carb trail mix is prepared with raw almonds, peanuts, pecan halves, smoky paprika, spicy cayenne pepper, a hint of garlic powder, low carb sweetener, toasted coconut flakes, and sweet dried cranberries. This makes a great low carb snack to have on hand, perfect for busy days and when you are on the go. Despite technically being a legume, peanuts may be enjoyed in moderation as part of a healthy and balanced Keto diet. For this recipe, we have used just a 1/4 cup of peanuts so that you can enjoy the fats and flavor while keeping the carbs as low as possible. If you would rather not use peanuts, you can simply swap these for an alternative low carb nut. Walnuts or macadamia nuts would make a great substitution. Dried fruit is generally considered a Keto no-no as it can be high in carbs and sugars. Dried cranberries however, are an exception and may be enjoyed occasionally on a low carb diet. Look for reduced sugar dried cranberries, unsweetened cranberries, or cranberries sweetened with natural fruit juices. The recipe calls for just a tablespoon of cranberries to provide the trail mix with a contrast of flavor and texture. You can omit the cranberries however, if you would rather avoid dried fruits. You may substitute with extra coconut flakes if desired. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the recipe. The recipe will provide 1 and 1/3 cups of trail mix. A serving is 1/3 of a cup.
Here’s a simple fish pie that’s quick and easy to prepare yet full of flavor. This British Keto recipe is made with a combination of fish, in this case, salmon, smoked haddock and cod, poached in a milky broth with leeks and cauliflower is added for texture. The milky broth is transformed into a creamy parsley sauce and a cheesy low-carb mash made from celeriac and cauliflower tops the pie before baking until golden brown. Celeriac works brilliantly as a mash and its subtle aniseed flavour compliments the fish wonderfully. Make a big batch of this Keto British food for the perfect family supper, or freeze it into portions for a quick midweek meal. Serve the fish pie with steamed greens for a complete meal. You can use any fish you like, or ask your fishmonger for a selection of fish scraps. The smoked haddock is key for a British fish pie, try to find undyed fillets, but if you can’t find smoked haddock, any other smoked fish will do. Good alternatives for cod are coley and pollock. Prawns and rainbow trout also work well instead of salmon. Ensure all fish fillets are skinned and boned and from sustainable and responsible sources. If you’re not a fan of celeriac, you can easily swap it out for more cauliflower, turnips or rutabaga for a low-carb option. Arrowroot is essential for thickening the sauce that binds this fish dish together. If you don’t have arrowroot, you can try substituting it with 1 egg yolk, ½ a teaspoon of guar gum or xanthan gum dissolved in cold water before adding to the milk. Add a quarter of the milk to the pan over low heat and whisk the egg in to thoroughly combine. Gradually add the remaining milk and be sure to whisk fast to avoid the egg cooking and leaving any strands of yolk.

Indulge in the flavors of fall with a spiced pumpkin cheesecake, a delightful treat for your autumn cravings. This Keto-friendly cheesecake features a walnut crust that perfectly complements its thick and creamy pumpkin-infused center. This recipe is straightforward, but precise execution is key. This dessert proves that staying on track with Keto can be easy and delicious. The cream cheese, sour cream, and eggs must be at room temperature to ensure a lump-free, creamy texture. Instead of whisking in the eggs, gently fold them to prevent air pockets that can cause cracks during baking. A water bath is crucial to prevent the cheesecake from drying out and cracking, creating an evenly baked, perfectly risen cake with steam from the evaporating water. Avoid opening the oven door during baking to maintain a stable temperature, preventing cracks. For a crispy crust, don't skip the baking step, but if you prefer a no-bake version, substitute crushed Keto cookies for the walnuts and almond flour. Mix with melted butter, press into a springform pan, pour in the filling, and bake as directed. Keep the cheesecake fresh for up to 5 days in the refrigerator by covering it with a large bowl or cake container.
This full Keto meal can be used for your meal prep but is most impressive when presented at the dinner table. If you ’re looking for a sharable comfort food Keto recipe, this is it. Chicago-style Chicken Vesuvio is the Italian-American stew you never knew you needed. Skin-on chicken thighs are browned and then stewed down in a pan with flavorful broth, cauliflower, and edamame. Traditional Chicken Vesuvio is often made with potatoes and peas, but this Keto version offers healthier substitutions. Served alongside the stew is a whole artichoke steamed to perfection. The flowered artichoke is perfect for sharing, and you have the option to eat it in your favorite way. Serve the Chicken Vesuvio family-style or portion it into meal prep containers to store in your refrigerator. Heat it up for a hot lunch or dinner. If you ’ve never steamed an artichoke before or you don ’t own a steaming basket, there are a couple of other ways to get the job done. You can create steam in an oven by baking a wide dish filled with 1-inch of water at 200 degrees Fahrenheit, then cooking the artichoke on the rack above the dish until it ’s tender. You can also create this effect in a microwave by filling a heat-safe dish with shallow water and placing it next to your prepared artichoke on a plate with a microwave cover on top. Microwave until steamed. For both techniques, make sure to replenish the water for steaming as it evaporates. There are multiple ways to enjoy eating steamed artichokes. The classic way is to sprinkle salt and pepper over the flowered artichoke, then dipping the leaves in warm, clarified butter as you scrape the artichoke with your teeth. Other Keto options are to season the artichoke at your discretion. You can also drizzle some balsamic vinaigrette or a Keto-friendly Italian vinaigrette over the leaves. Choose you favorite herbs, marinate them in olive oil, and dip the artichoke leave in the warm oil just like you would bread at a restaurant! Jessica L.
