Delicious and Healthy Keto Snacks

Find out more about the Keto Snacks Cookbook

1. Mini frittatas

An excellent keto-friendly snack that is simple to make and completely customizable are little frittatas, often known as egg muffins.

All you need to get started is:

a dozen eggs

standard 12-cup muffin pan

mixing bowl

an oven

To begin, beat the eggs in a bowl and season with a little salt and pepper.

Distribute the egg mixture evenly between each muffin cup and add your preferred low-carb ingredients like:

spinach

mushrooms

tomatoes

cheese

Bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 15–20 minutes, or until set.

Exact nutrition information varies depending on what you add to your recipe. One frittata (170 grams) may provide up to 320 calories, 14 grams of protein, and 21 grams of fat.

Store them in the refrigerator so you can easily grab a couple on your way out, or bake a few batches and freeze them for later.

2. Caprese salad skewers

Caprese salad is a classic Italian favorite. When you assemble the ingredients on skewers, it turns into a great portable snack.

Preparing it is as easy as alternating pieces of fresh mozzarella cheese, basil leaves, and cherry tomatoes onto skewers. Eat it plain or mix a little balsamic vinegar and olive oil for dipping.

A 3.5-ounce serving (100 grams) of Caprese salad may provide about 139 calories, 7 grams of protein, and 11 grams of fat — not including dipping sauce.

3. Caesar salad bites

If you’re a fan of Caesar salad, you’ll love these mini Caesar salad bites. You can use romaine lettuce if you want to keep it classic, but a heartier type of green like kale holds up better if you’re not planning to eat them right away.

Make individual cups to hold the salad by heating tablespoon-sized portions of grated Parmesan cheese on a parchment-lined baking pan. Bake until the cheese has melted and is starting to brown.

Let the melted cheese portions cool slightly before placing each over the bottom side of a mini muffin pan, lightly pressing the cheese into the shape of the muffin cups. Let them cool completely, and they’ll turn into small, edible, crispy cups.

Toss the greens with your favorite dressing and portion into each Parmesan cup. In lieu of croutons, top with roasted pumpkin seeds or pistachios for extra crunch. For more protein, add chopped chicken or smoked salmon.

4. Cajun style shrimp and bell pepper kebabs

Shrimp is a great source of heart-healthy omega-3 fats. They’re also lower in mercury than other types of seafood, making them a healthy and keto-friendly snack option.

First, use a Cajun style dry rub on the shrimp. Place the seasoned shrimp on skewers, alternating with thick slices of fresh bell pepper.

Bake or grill the kebabs until the shrimp is fully cooked and the peppers are between crisp and tender. Serve right away, or store in the refrigerator until you’re ready to eat.

5. Keto smoothies

If you follow a keto diet and thought smoothies would be forever off limits due to their typically high carb content, you’re in luck.

You can make keto-friendly smoothies using coconut, avocado, and nut butter as a base to boost fat content and provide a creamy texture.

Small amounts of low carb fruits, such as berries, lime, or lemon, may be used in a keto smoothie, but you should also include nutrient dense veggies like spinach, cucumber, kale, or jicama.

Other flavorful additions are:

cacao

cinnamon

vanilla extract

flavored protein powders

6. Coconut yogurt

Yogurt is a great source of probiotics, which may support healthy digestive function.

Coconut yogurt has gained popularity as a popular dairy-free substitute for regular yogurt; some varieties are also acceptable for a ketogenic diet.

3/13/23 Food Log. Food poisoning 🤢🤮

I didn't count lunch on here, cos I literally lost it all. 🤮

Warning: food poisoning story to follow.

I had a shit night. Forgot to get bubble wrap last week while shopping, so I ordered it. Supposed to be in Monday (today), not here, I'm out, so had to make a trip to Sam's . I ate my salad before I left. I started feeling sick about halfway there. Fought off the feeling, cos it's bullshit... halfway home had to pull onto a side street to puke my guts out. Ugh. 🤢🤮 barely managed to get stopped and get my door open in time. Puked FOREVER. I'm sure I didn't eat that much! Finally stop, rinse my mouth, blow my nose... so gross. I hate puking more than anything my body can do to me. Finally got home, puked again in the driveway, couldn't even get inside. 3 or 4 more times once I did get inside. Idk when it finally stopped.

So, what in the salad was bad? Chicken? I put rotisserie chicken on it... had it since Friday, but I've done this for YEARS with no problem. Dressing gone bad? Seems unlikely to be the lettuce, tomato or cucumbers.

Anyway, feel better now at 3am, finally, after some sleep, but my throat feels like 10 miles of bad road.

I also broke my workout streak, unless you count the ab work from puking.

Recipe: Nordic Crispbread with Seeds

The reason why I got Zarya is for long-distance hiking in the Rockies.

The main criteria was to have a dog that didn't need to be evacuated (eg. injuries, medical reasons, anatomical reasons) during the two weeks between resupply points. Nor didn't need to rest up in-between the daily grinds of long treks. Will tolerate both +40 and -40. Yet also biddable enough to be reliable off-leash with good recall. Decided to share some of the old recipes I've had for backpacking. Should be vegan-friendly. CW: food, LCHF Don't know what kind of content warning to put on here. A friend got upset with me sharing because they developed a eating disorder as of the result of the fad diets being predatory towards people's self-image. Basically person said to me "carbs is good for you" while being unaware I came from the rock-climbing communities where we eat a lot of high-carb vegetarian or vegan meals for financial reasons in order to save money to afford equipment and travel. But low-carb high-fat is pretty common amongst endurance athletes to maximize calories in backpacks or fanny packs for long hauls. Without LCHF, we wouldn't be able to keep weight nor muscles on without destroying our own bodies.

Unlike in the diet industry, no one eat LCHF to lose weight but instead to keep weight on. We want the calorie surplus. Muscle loss is a huge issue we want to avoid. Yeah, I eat a lot of carbs at home. Just not on the trails. Apologies for the long-winded content warning.

Anyway, here's the recipe for näkkileipä siemenistä (crispbread with seeds or thin seed bread).

This recipe came from a friend's aunt, and it was originally for maintaining farm labourers and forestry workers.

Here is the original recipe in Finnish from 2015:

2,5 dl kiehuvaa vettä 0,5 dl hyvää öljyä 2 dl maissijauhoja (kelt. pussi) 0,5 dl seesamin siemeniä 0,5 dl pellavan siemeniä 0,5 dl kurpitsan siemeniä 0,5 dl auringonkukansiemeniä Suolaa maun mukaan Sekoita aineet ja levitä leivinpaperille uunipellin päälle mahd. ohueksi (onnistuu hyvin silikonisella nuolijalla) Paista 150 asteessa 1 tunti, jonka jälkeen laita lämpö nollille ja anna olla uunissa vielä jotain 10 minuuttia Kun on vähän jäähtynyt, taittele palasiksi

Here is the translation in English:

Ingredients Canola oil, 2 — 3 Tbsp Corn starch, 2 dL Sesame seed, 0.5 dL Flax seed, 0.5 dL Pumpkin seed, 0.5 dL Sunflower seed, 0.5 dL Water, 2.5 dL Salt Instructions Preheat oven to 150°C. Bring water to a boil and add the oils. Blend the ingredients into a large bowl. Lay down the parchment paper on a baking sheet. Spread the mixture onto the baking sheet. Place into the oven for an hour. Remove from oven and let the batch cools Conversions 1 dL is 100 mL, 0.42 US cup or 3.4 fl. oz 150°C is 302°F

Here's the commentary in English:

Once the crispbread is removed from the oven and cooled down, then one can begin breaking the sheet into smaller pieces into proportion sizes desired for the trip. Personally, I like to divide them into 85 g snack bags. For a heavier meal, feel free to double up on the seeds. Other variations of the crispbread with seed adds flour, however, the volume of water is adjusted. To vary the taste, adding dried cheese, garlic and herbs are not unusual. To even the distribution of the spread, place another parchment paper on top of the mixture and press a rolling pin over it. A nice uniform thickness is desired.

If you appreciate the blog post and or the translation, then feel free to tip.

How to Make Keto Pizza: A Step-by-Step Guide

Pizza is a popular food all over the world. But for those following the keto diet, traditional pizza is not an option due to its high carb content. However, that doesn't mean you have to give up pizza entirely. With a few modifications, you can make a delicious keto-friendly pizza. In this article, we'll show you how to make keto pizza from scratch, step by step. For more keto tips see our Tumblr site here.

Introduction to Keto Pizza

Pizza is a popular food around the world, loved for its delicious taste and endless topping options. However, traditional pizza can be high in carbs, making it unsuitable for those following a keto diet. This is where keto pizza comes in - a low-carb alternative that allows you to enjoy the deliciousness of pizza while staying true to your dietary goals. For more Keto Pizza Recipes here.

Here are some key differences between keto pizza and regular pizza:

Keto Pizza:

· Uses a low-carb crust, such as cauliflower crust or almond flour crust

· Uses keto-friendly sauce, cheese, and toppings that are low in carbs

· Is high in healthy fats and protein, which helps to keep you full and satisfied

· Can be customized to fit your dietary needs, such as gluten-free or dairy-free options

· May have a different texture and taste than regular pizza

Regular Pizza:

· Uses a high-carb crust made from wheat flour

· Uses regular tomato sauce, cheese, and toppings that may be high in carbs

· Is typically lower in protein and healthy fats than keto pizza

· May not be suitable for those with dietary restrictions or preferences

Has a distinct texture and taste that may be difficult to replicate with keto-friendly ingredients

When it comes to taste, keto pizza may not be exactly the same as regular pizza, but it can still be delicious in its own right. Many people find that they enjoy the unique taste and texture of keto pizza, and appreciate the fact that they can indulge in this comfort food while sticking to their dietary goals.

In conclusion, while keto pizza may be different from regular pizza, it is still a great option for those following a keto diet who want to enjoy a delicious, healthy version of this popular comfort food. By choosing the right ingredients and toppings, you can create a pizza that is both low in carbs and high in flavor. So why not give it a try and see for yourself how delicious keto pizza can be?

What is the Keto Diet?

The ketogenic diet, or keto diet for short, is a low-carb, high-fat diet that has been shown to be effective in promoting weight loss and improving overall health. The goal of the keto diet is to enter a state of ketosis, where the body uses fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates.

Why Make Keto Pizza? Pizza is a beloved food that many people crave, even when they're on a diet. Unfortunately, traditional pizza is not an option for those following a keto diet, as the high carb content in the crust and toppings can quickly exceed their daily carb limit. However, making a keto-friendly pizza allows you to enjoy this comfort food while still staying true to your dietary goals.

One of the main benefits of making a keto pizza is that it allows you to indulge in your cravings without feeling guilty. Traditional pizza is typically high in carbs, which can cause blood sugar spikes and lead to weight gain. On the other hand, a keto pizza is low in carbs, high in healthy fats, and can even help you stay in ketosis.

Another benefit of making a keto pizza is that it's incredibly versatile. You can experiment with different crusts, such as cauliflower, almond flour, or coconut flour, and customize your toppings to suit your tastes. Whether you prefer a classic pepperoni pizza or a more exotic combination of flavors, there's a keto-friendly pizza out there for everyone.

Making a keto pizza also allows you to stay on track with your dietary goals. When you're following a strict diet, it's easy to feel deprived and crave the foods you can't have. By making a keto-friendly version of your favorite foods, you can satisfy your cravings and still stick to your diet plan.

In summary, making a keto-friendly pizza is a great way to enjoy this beloved comfort food while still staying true to your dietary goals. With a variety of crust and topping options available, you can customize your pizza to suit your tastes and experiment with different flavors. Plus, indulging in a guilt-free pizza can help you stay on track with your diet and avoid feelings of deprivation.

Keto Pizza Versus Traditional Pizza

Pizza is a beloved food that many people enjoy, but traditional pizza is often high in carbs and not suitable for those following a keto diet. Fortunately, there are now plenty of options for making a keto-friendly pizza that is low in carbs and still packed with flavor. Here are some differences between keto pizza and traditional pizza:

Keto Pizza:

Uses low-carb crust options such as cauliflower crust or almond flour crust

Uses keto-friendly ingredients such as low-carb sauce, cheese, and toppings

Is high in healthy fats and low in carbs

Can be customized to fit specific dietary needs, such as gluten-free or dairy-free

May have a different texture and flavor than traditional pizza

Traditional Pizza:

Uses high-carb crust made from wheat flour

Uses traditional tomato sauce, cheese, and toppings that may be high in carbs

Is higher in carbs and lower in healthy fats

May not be suitable for those with dietary restrictions or preferences

Has a distinct texture and flavor that may be difficult to replicate with keto-friendly ingredients

Comparison Keto Pizza Versus Traditional Pizza

Keto Pizza

Low-carb crust options

Keto-friendly ingredients

Traditional tomato sauce, cheese, and toppings

High in healthy fats, low in carbs

Higher in carbs, lower in healthy fats

Different texture and flavor

Distinct texture and flavor

When it comes to choosing between keto pizza and traditional pizza, it ultimately comes down to personal preference and dietary goals. If you're following a keto diet and want to enjoy pizza while still staying on track with your goals, a keto pizza is a great option. If you don't have any dietary restrictions and enjoy the classic taste and texture of traditional pizza, then a traditional pizza may be the way to go.

In conclusion, while there are differences between keto pizza and traditional pizza, both can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a healthy, balanced diet. By choosing the right ingredients and crust options, you can create a delicious pizza that fits your dietary needs and preferences.

Keto Pizza Crust Options

When it comes to making a keto pizza, one of the most important considerations is the crust. Traditional pizza crust is typically made from wheat flour, which is high in carbs and not suitable for a keto diet. Fortunately, there are several low-carb crust options that can be used to create a delicious and satisfying pizza.

Here are some popular keto-friendly crust options for your pizza:

Cauliflower crust: Made from grated cauliflower, cheese, and eggs, this crust is a popular choice for keto pizza. It's low in carbs, high in fiber, and has a crispy texture that mimics traditional pizza crust.

Almond flour crust: Almond flour is a great alternative to wheat flour for those following a keto diet. It's high in healthy fats, low in carbs, and has a slightly nutty flavor that complements pizza toppings well.

Coconut flour crust: Coconut flour is another popular option for making a keto pizza crust. It's high in fiber, low in carbs, and has a subtle coconut flavor that pairs well with a variety of toppings.

When choosing a crust for your keto pizza, it's important to consider your personal taste preferences and dietary goals. Some crusts may be higher in carbs than others, so it's important to read labels carefully and choose a crust that fits within your daily carb limit.

In summary, there are several keto-friendly crust options available for making a delicious and satisfying pizza. Whether you prefer a cauliflower crust, almond flour crust, or coconut flour crust, there's a crust out there to suit your tastes and dietary needs. By experimenting with different crusts and toppings, you can create a keto pizza that's both healthy and delicious.

How to Make Keto Pizza Crust

To make a cauliflower crust, you'll need to grate cauliflower and then cook it in the oven until it's tender. Then, mix it with almond flour, egg, and cheese, and spread it out on a baking sheet. Bake the crust for a few minutes until it's golden brown and then add your sauce and toppings.

To make an almond flour crust, you'll need almond flour, egg, and cheese. Mix these ingredients together until a dough forms, and then spread it out on a baking sheet. Bake the crust until it's golden brown and then add your sauce and toppings.

To make a coconut flour crust, you'll need coconut flour, egg, and cheese. Mix these ingredients together until a dough forms, and then spread it out on a baking sheet. Bake the crust until it's golden brown and then add your sauce and toppings.

Keto Pizza Sauce

Traditional pizza sauce is typically high in sugar and carbs, so it's not a good option for those following the keto diet. Instead, you can make your own keto-friendly pizza sauce using tomato paste, garlic, and herbs.

To make the sauce, simply mix together tomato paste, minced garlic, and your favorite herbs, such as oregano, basil, and thyme. Add a little bit of water to thin the sauce to your desired consistency.

How to Make Keto Pizza Sauce

When it comes to making a keto pizza, the sauce is just as important as the crust. Traditional pizza sauce is often made with high-sugar ingredients, such as canned tomatoes and sugar, which can quickly add up in carbs. Fortunately, there are plenty of keto-friendly pizza sauce options that are low in carbs and still packed with flavor.

Here are some tips on how to make a keto-friendly pizza sauce:

Choose the right tomatoes: When making a pizza sauce, it's important to choose the right type of tomatoes. Look for canned whole peeled tomatoes that have no added sugar. You can also use fresh tomatoes if you prefer.

Use high-quality olive oil: Olive oil is a staple of Mediterranean cuisine and is a healthy fat that is ideal for a keto diet. Use high-quality olive oil to give your pizza sauce a rich, flavorful base.

Add garlic and herbs: Garlic and herbs are a great way to add flavor to your pizza sauce without adding carbs. Some good options include basil, oregano, and thyme.

Use a blender: To achieve a smooth, creamy consistency, use a blender or food processor to puree your pizza sauce ingredients. This will help to evenly distribute the flavors and ensure that your sauce is the perfect texture for your pizza.

Here's a simple recipe for a keto-friendly pizza sauce: Ingredients:

1 can whole peeled tomatoes

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Add the whole peeled tomatoes to a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth.

In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Add the tomato puree to the saucepan and stir to combine. Add the dried basil and oregano, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.

Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool before using it to top your keto pizza.

In summary, making a keto-friendly pizza sauce is easy and requires just a few simple ingredients. By using canned whole peeled tomatoes, high-quality olive oil, and flavorful herbs and spices, you can create a delicious sauce that's low in carbs and perfect for your keto pizza.

Keto Pizza Toppings

The toppings you choose for your keto pizza will depend on your personal preferences. Some good options include:

Mozzarella cheese

Pepperoni

Sausage

Bacon

Mushrooms

Olives

Bell peppers

Onions

Tips for Making the Perfect Keto Pizza

Making a keto pizza can be a bit challenging, but with these tips, you can make a delicious pizza that's both healthy and satisfying:

Make sure your crust is cooked thoroughly before adding your sauce and toppings. This will ensure that your crust is crispy and won't become soggy.

Use a pizza stone or a cast-iron skillet to bake your pizza. These will help to distribute the heat evenly and ensure that your pizza cooks evenly.

Don't overload your pizza with toppings. Too many toppings can make your pizza soggy and difficult to eat.

If you're using vegetables as toppings, be sure to cook them beforehand. This will help to remove any excess moisture and prevent your pizza from becoming soggy.

Use high-quality ingredients. Since the toppings are the star of the show, it's important to use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions About Keto Pizza

Can I use a pre-made crust for my keto pizza? Yes, you can use a pre-made crust, but be sure to read the ingredients to ensure that it's keto-friendly.

How many carbs are in a keto pizza? The number of carbs in a keto pizza will depend on the crust and toppings you use. However, a typical serving of keto pizza will have around 5-10 grams of carbs.

Can I freeze leftover keto pizza? Yes, you can freeze leftover keto pizza. Simply wrap it in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store it in the freezer.

Can I make keto pizza in advance? Yes, you can make keto pizza in advance. Simply prepare the crust and toppings ahead of time and store them separately. When you're ready to make the pizza, simply assemble it and bake it as directed.

Can I make keto pizza without cheese? Yes, you can make keto pizza without cheese. Simply skip the cheese or use a dairy-free cheese alternative.

Conclusion

Pizza is a beloved food that many people crave, but traditional pizza is not an option for those following the keto diet. Fortunately, with a few modifications, you can make a delicious keto-friendly pizza. Whether you prefer a cauliflower crust, almond flour crust, or coconut flour crust, there are many options available to suit your tastes. By following the tips in this article and experimenting with different crusts and toppings, you can create a delicious and healthy pizza that you can enjoy without guilt.
