We thought we would start off this list by introducing you to this delicious low carb pizza. It includes using the likes of cauliflower alongside the perfect marriage of tomato and basil.
You might be surprised to hear it includes one of your pizza favorites too: mozzarella. However, it is the pizza dough itself that normally has all the carbs. This is where the cauliflower comes in.
This recipe shows you how to make the best cauliflower dough. To ensure a good mixture of ingredients, invest in a food processor to do the work for you.
If you love eating the classic caesar salad, then you will love this keto friendly recipe. It includes the typical chicken and bacon which are both moist and crispy, along with fresh Romaine lettuce and creamy sauce.
For this tasty dish you will want to use chicken with the skin on, but do make sure it is boneless for the best eating experience.
Don’t forget the all important Parmesan cheese too which will add some scrumptious flavoring to the end result.
If a caesar salad is not your thing, then why not try this keto friendly shrimp, avocado and tomato salad?
It has completely different flavors to the above due to including the likes of shrimps, creamy avocado, sweet cherry tomatoes, minced red onion and zesty lime juice, among a few other ingredients.
Melt the butter along with the shrimp to ensure it is all coated well. This creates a delicious buttery shrimp base to the salad.
You will never want to eat regular fries again after creating this recipe. It involves making juicy zucchini fries in an almond flour and Parmesan cheese coating.
The turkey burger itself sits on top of a bed of lettuce and red onion, while the slices of goat cheese sit upon the burger. If you are not a fan of goat cheese, then an alternative is strong cheddar cheese.
These Japanese inspired kingfish lettuce cups might be a little tricky to eat, but they are a delight on the taste buds. It is also very healthy too!
Kingfish is a great type of fish to use because it does not tend to dry out once you mince it. Add some oyster sauce and mirin and you will be swimming in umami flavors.
If you can find it, top it with tonkatsu sauce, though any other type of barbeque sauce will work just as well.
This recipe involves placing lots of veggies and seasoning into aluminum foil ‘packets’ and then serving it. It really is that easy to make, yet it looks more complex to put together.
While you can use dried herbs, this recipe takes advantage of the fresh flavors of rosemary and oregano. You will definitely taste the difference in the final result.
This dairy and pasta free carbonara is the stuff of dreams. You might not even want to go back to the regular stuff – it is that delicious.
Zucchini is used in place of the pasta, and to make it creamy coconut cream or milk is added. While you do not have to add crushed red pepper, it does add a wonderful heat to the whole dish.
This recipe also uses nutritional yeast. It is a good option due to it adding a cheesy flavor to the sauce.
How does someone on a keto diet eat hot dog buns, we hear you ask? Well, take a look at this recipe and you will find out.

If you are a lover of Thai dishes, then you will love this keto friendly recipe. You might notice they include noodles which are usually a no-go – however, these are shiritaki noodles and they are low in carbs.
This recipe includes a whole host of flavors, from cilantro, chicken and flaked almonds, to red cabbage, lime juice and spring onions.
The best option is to go with skinless and boneless chicken thighs to make preparation of the dish easier.
Another summer favorite is a burger. While you will not be eating the buns of a burger, you can eat them deconstructed. Plus, this type of recipe can look very appetizing when served which is sure to wow your guests during a barbeque.
You will need the likes of bacon, jalapenos and cheddar cheese to make this wonderful show stopper.
Once you have created the bacon wrapped burgers, place them on an unusual serving plate for extra wow factor.
Who does not love a potato salad? Unsurprisingly, you can make this popular sidekick dish keto friendly. However, this potato salad has extra textures and crunch to make it even more appealing.
It includes using cauliflower alongside mayonnaise. However, you will want to make sure that you find a low fat and low sugar mayo. If you can, it will be best to find a sugar free mayo or even make your own.
Add in some meaty bacon for extra salty flavors, as well as chives to top it all off. You will be in heaven with this summertime dish.
Lastly, we come to this absolute dream of a dish: a lemon and garlic butter chicken with green beans, all made in a skillet.

Hi, my name is Justin Roberts and I like to live by one major rule in life – health is wealth. And where does all health stem from? The food choices we make.
I grew up in a not-so-wealthy household that often struggled to get food on the table.
The food we did eat was cheap, holding no nutritional value at all. I’m talking frozen foods, carbs, fats, and very little fresh produce.
I am fortunate enough to have made a life for myself where the money for food is no longer an issue, and I have spent the majority of it looking into healthy foods and different diets to try.
The most notable is keto and paleo. I am also interested in only using whole foods wherever possible – call it trauma!
As a professional chef, I now create recipes surrounding these diets every day. My family are my tasters, and I strive to make my recipes as budget-friendly as possible.
I hope that you’ll find some inspiration for healthier meals from my website. I want to create a catalog of recipes that you can come back to time and time again. Enjoy!
