Zesty chicken and lime are a classic pairing for this keto dish.

Oven Baked Garlic Parm Ribs 

Calories: 349 Fat: 33.1g Total Carbs: 4.7g  
Net Carbs: 3.9g  Fiber: 0.8g  Protein: 10g 

You’ll want these baby back, baby back ribs for every meal once you try your first bite. Eating the same dish for every meal isn’t realistic for a healthy diet, but we don’t blame you for wanting to – cheese and garlic are definitely crave-worthy! 

Parmesan really kicks this ribs recipe up a notch by adding a nice CRUNCH.



Keto Egg Salad 

Calories: 197  Fat: 16g  Total Carbs: 1g  
Net Carbs: 1g  Fiber: 0g  Protein: 8g 

Can’t beat a classic sandwich for lunch! This egg salad recipe goes great between two slices of your favorite keto-brand bread, or (if you’re an enthusiastic baker) try our 1g carb keto bread recipe and make your own loaf at home. 

We know, keto and eggs? But egg salad works as a creamy, filling egg option that you can season to your own personal perfection.

Net Carbs: 1.7g  Fiber: 0.4g Protein: 32.8g

BBQ Pulled Pork with Spicy Slaw 

Calories: 385  Fat: 22g  Total Carbs: 6g  
Net Carbs: 5g  Fiber: 1g  Protein: 40g 

Using a slow cooker to do your cooking for you makes easy keto recipes even easier. Setting and forgetting frees up a lot of your time to do other important things.  

You know what else frees up time you’d normally spend cooking? Having ready to eat meals delivered straight to your doorstep. 



Cauliflower Coconut Milk Curry 

Calories: 283  Fat: 23g  Total Carbs: 18g 
Net Carbs: 12g  Fiber: 6g  Protein: 4g 

The carbohydrates are a little high for this curry dish, but if you’re just starting out, or are following a cyclical keto plan, or targeted keto strategy for energy during an intense workout, this curry recipe works in a pinch.  

Eating a high carb meal on the keto diet can help when you have an intense workout to do, or if you're on a cyclical keto schedule!



BLT Stuffed Avocados 

Calories: 189  Fat: 16g  Total Carbs: 10g 
Net Carbs: 3g  Fiber: 7g  Protein: 4g 

This recipe offers an alternative to BLT sandwiches to keep you filled up and fueled up after lunch or dinner. Avocado cups are not only a great main ingredient for keto recipes, but they can be used to create a variety of flavorful dishes: try adding the egg salad from above or this taco stuffing to your cups for even options! 

Avocado cups are a versatile meal because you can change the stuffing to make all kinds of new dishes.



Cajun Keto Shrimp  

Calories: 181  Fat: 9.3g  Total Carbs: 1.3g  
Net Carbs: 0.7g  Fiber: 0.6g  Protein: 23.4g 

Shrimp is typically high in cholesterol, so we wouldn’t recommend eating it all the time, but if you’re free from heart health issues, indulging in a delicious shrimp dish like this one is fine! Savor the shrimp’s Cajun spices along with keto mashed cauliflower or rice for a complete meal pairing. 

Serve this keto shrimp with riced cauliflower, toss in fried keto rice, or with broccoli.



Turkey Bacon Ranch Pinwheels 

Calories: 133  Fat: 12g  Total Carbs: 2g  
Net Carbs: 2g   Fiber: 0g  Protein: 5g

A keto healthy snack wrap!



Broccoli Cheese Keto Soup 

Calories: 235  Fat: 17g  Total Carbs: 7g  
Net Carbs: 5g  Fiber: 2g  Protein: 13g 

Even wilted broccoli works well in this recipe, so those of you that forget about your veggies in the back of the fridge have an opportunity to put them to good use! And what better way to do that than with a delicious broccoli cheese soup? 

Broccoli cheddar soup is a popular dish you don't have to give up on the keto diet!



General Tso Keto Chicken 

Calories: 252  Fat: 12.3g  Total Carbs: 3.7g  
Net Carbs: 3.2g  Fiber: 0.5g  Protein: 45.5g 

Traditional General Tso uses a lot of sugar-filled sauce to flavor their chicken. This keto alternative uses fresh, low-carb options instead like rice vinegar, minced garlic, and soy sauce! 

Replace sugar-filled soy sauce with these alternatives to make a worthy General Tso keto recipe.



Keto Pad Thai 

Calories: 345  Fat: 26g  Total Carbs: 12g 
Net Carbs: 7g  Fiber: 5g  Protein: 18g 

This Pad Thai recipe uses shirataki noodles instead of rice noodles to lower the carb content of the dish. Shirataki noodles are higher in soluble fiber and can also help with digestion.

If you love noodles, but aren't a fan of zoodles, remember: shirataki keto recipes are your friend!



Ground Beef Keto Casserole 

Calories: 265  Fat: 15g  Total Carbs: 2g  
Net Carbs: 1.9g  Fiber: 0.1g  Protein: 28g 

Casseroles are another way to cook big batches for weekly meal prep. Make sure to use lean ground beef in your dishes to cut back on unhealthy fats.

(And if you have any to spare, try more keto ground beef recipes like this keto chili). 

Keto ground beef recipes are easy to come by because they use lean meat and are extremely filling.

Net Carbs: 0g  Fiber: 1g  Protein: 10g

Net Carbs: 3.5g  Fiber: 2.6g  Protein: 15g 

Coconut and almond flour can turn any dough into a low-carb option without the cardboard texture that other low-carb options can have. This recipe uses coconut flour and takes about 10 minutes to prep. 

Bye cardboard cauliflower crust! Use coconut flour for a perfect, crispy personal pan pizza.
