Cabbage makes a great alternative to zucchini when it comes to using veggies as noodles.

For a more authentic Thai flavor, don’t forget to add in the fish sauce and lime juice.

Ingredients: corned beef brisket, onion, carrot, celery stalk, chicken or beef stock, green cabbage, avocado oil, salt, pepper.
The roasted cabbage looks so good with its crispy edges! Brining your own meat can be very satisfying, but don’t worry if you don’t have the time as you can buy it quite easily. Because you are cooking this keto dish slowly, all the flavors of the meat and veggies combine to give a really tasty meal.

Ingredients: chuck beef, preferred stock, salt, pepper, oregano, cumin, ancho chile, paprika, cinnamon, garlic, tomato paste, skimmed stock / meat juices, onion, garlic, jalapeños, salsa, tomatoes or sauce.
This slow cooked shredded beef packs a punch! It is full of flavor and so tender. It should simply fall apart after being cooked for so long. If you fancy this as a breakfast dish instead, try serving it with some guacamole.
Shrimp Fra Diavolo Slow Cooker
– Cavegirl Cuisine
Ingredients: avocado oil, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, roasted tomatoes, parsley, pepper, shrimp.
This is another keto recipe that is ideal to serve over spaghetti squash instead of pasta. Shrimp would not hold together so well when slow cooked, but it is delicious in this dish because you add it near the end of cooking. The fire-roasted tomatoes add a special flavor.

– Paleo FlourishIngredients: green beans, onion, avocado oil, water, tamari soy sauce or coconut aminos, salt, star anise (optional).
Here is how to cook green beans well! They come out still with a bite, but not ‘squeaky’ like they sometimes can. Green beans like these make a delicious accompaniment to many dishes like the Chinese fish dish we included above.
Spinach Almond Stir-Fry
– Paleo FlourishIngredients: spinach leaves, almond slices, salt, coconut oil.
Spinach takes up a lot of room so we recommend you use a large pot to make this stir-fry, but once it cooks down it will shrink. Adding the almond slices gives this keto side dish a fabulous crunch. This dish makes a perfect accompaniment to pork or fish dishes.
Ginger and Garlic Bok Choy Stir-Fry
– Paleo FlourishIngredients: bok choy, garlic, ginger, salt, coconut oil.
Bok choy goes by many other names such as pak choi and Chinese cabbage. It is a very common vegetable to use in Asian stir-fries and is very tasty. Ginger and garlic are the perfect combination used in different cuisines around the world and you can’t beat its simplicity!

Larb salad originates in Laos and is a celebration in flavor. It uses so many different Eastern flavors such as lime, fish sauce etc. Red cabbage tends to have a more subtle flavor than green, so it tastes better raw in a salad. You can play around with the ingredients in this recipe. For example, try replacing the chicken with pork or shrimp for an alternative recipe.

This dessert has been a firm favorite for years, especially with kids. This is a much healthier version as it doesn’t use any sugar.

Best Ketogenic Diet Drinks Recipes
The Ultimate Keto Coffee
– Paleo FlourishIngredients: ghee, coconut oil, coffee, almond or coconut milk.
The secret to this ultimate coffee lies in the blending. Using a blender or milk frother will give this the look of a cappuccino.

Refreshing Cucumber Celery Lime Smoothie
– Paleo FlourishIngredients: celery heart, cucumber, lime, water, ice.
What a lovely fresh taste to this keto smoothie recipe! When preparing the cucumber, the easiest way to remove the seeds is to cut the cucumber length ways and scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon.

Strawberry Coconut Smoothie

Ingredients: nut milk, strawberries, Nutiva Coconut Manna, chia seed, shredded coconut (optional).
Smoothies have become so popular in recent years, but unfortunately the store-bought options often contain high sugar levels. But they are so easy to make at home, why not try them? You can use frozen strawberries or you can buy fresh and freeze them yourself which is ideal if your local farmer’s market has special deals on the berries! With lots of added fat, these smoothies will generally help you stay in ketosis despite the small amount of berries.
Red Velvet Smoothie
– The Blenderist
Ingredients: coconut milk, almond milk or milk of choice, ice cubes, avocado, beet, cocoa or cacao powder, vanilla, stevia.
Most store-bought smoothies use bananas to provide a thickness to the drink, but you can try this ketogenic one which uses avocado instead. Avocado doesn’t have a strong flavor so it’s perfect as a base for other flavors. You might think it unusual to use beets in a sweet dish, but then what about carrot cake? Beets have a natural sweetness, so add half the stevia first then adjust to suit your taste.
Cranberry Spice Tea
– Gourmande in the Kitchen
Ingredients: water, cranberries, lemons, cinnamon, ginger, goji berries, black tea, Stevia.
This tea can be made on the stove or can be batch-made in a slow cooker. I don’t know about you, but cranberries always make me think of winter celebrations, but you can enjoy this any time of year. It is warming and soothing and packed with nutrients.
Best Ketogenic Diet Recipes – Snacks
Spiced Chocolate Covered Pecans

These pecans are delicious and ideal for a treat! When you toast the nut just be careful because they burn quite easily.

But you can also use ginger or cinnamon instead.
5-Min Prosciutto Avocado Fat Bomb Recipe
– Paleo FlourishIngredients: avocado, lime, prosciutto (or deli ham or turkey slices).
These make an ideal snack or you can make them as hors d’oeuvres for a party. They are packed with flavor and have lots of health fats.They are quick and easy to make and the fresh lime juice not only adds a citrus kick, it also keeps the avocado from turning brown. If you prefer, you can use turkey or ham, but the prosciutto adds a special touch as the saltiness goes well with the avocado and the lime. Try to use avocados that are not too ripe so they will be easier to cut into slices.
Lemon Black Pepper Tuna Salad
Ingredients: cucumber, avocado, lemon juice, tuna, Paleo mayo, mustard, salt, salad greens (optional), black pepper.

Smoked Salmon and Cucumber Nori Wraps

If you have never had sushi, then this is a great way to introduce it. Nori sheets are available in many stores so you should have no trouble finding them. The rich flavor of the smoked salmon is contrasted with the cucumber. Watch out as these ketogenic snacks can become a family favorite. You can also experiment and try different fillings like tuna and shrimp.
Tuna Cucumber and Basil Bites
– Comfort Bites
Ingredients: tuna, avocado, basil leaves, lemon, cucumber.
This is another quick keto snack which could double as a party nibble since they are bite-sized!
