15-Minute Low-Carb Korean Beef Bowl

This recipe for low-carb Korean beef bowl is budget-friendly, easy to make, quick to the table, and absolutely delicious. It’s low-carb and keto-friendly.

You can easily make it paleo by using coconut aminos, or simply keep it gluten-free with Tamari soy sauce. I’ve made it with both!

You can mix and match with the ingredients you have handy, and use chicken, pork, or lamb mince instead. This would also taste really lovely over a plate of zucchini noodles made with a spiralizer, or simple stir-fried veggies.

I also like to add some sliced cucumbers on the side for some extra crunch and coolness.

10 BEST Keto Cookies You Simply Can’t Resist

The keto diet is fantastic for a lot of reasons. Many people do it specifically to curb their sweet tooth entirely.

See, eating low-carb and going into ketosis where your body is generally burning fat instead of glucose (carbs) for fuel, you tend not to crave those sugary treats as much because your body’s thinking, “What the heck would I do with all that sugar?”

You can learn more about the keto diet in our Q&A with keto expert, Leanne Vogel.

Still, it’s nice to integrate a little indulgence into ANY lifestyle.

Don’t forget a cool glass of coconut or almond milk on the side!

12 Scrumptious Grain-Free & Paleo Tarts to Indulge With

When you think of refreshing, light dessert, you probably think of ice cream first. If we think of winter desserts, we probably think of heavier fare – cookies fresh out of the oven, luscious chocolate cake, and thick layers of icing.

No matter the season, the tart is the perfect treat. Tarts are lighter than a cake or cookie, but can still take on those rich flavors from things like cream or dark cocoa.

They can also take on a light whip, fresh summer fruits, and seasonal produce brilliantly – warm or cool weather. Plus, they’re beautiful to serve and rustic-looking with a very distinct charm about them.

Scrumptious Grain-Free & Paleo Tarts

These grain-free, paleo-ish tarts are perfect for showing off the beauty of the fruit!

From raw crusts to mascarpone fillings, and lemon infusions to chocolate cream, we’ve got tarts, galettes, and fruity fun for you to indulge with throughout the seasons.

Whether you’re entertaining or just looking for a fun project – because these are so Instagram-worthy – we’ve got a recipe for you.

1. Fresh fig & vanilla bean tart

paleo-fruit-tart-1

Fresh figs have a short season, but if you can get your hands on some at the right time, this tart is perfect. If you have a tree, you know all about it! Take advantage of the bounty.

This beautiful fruit was meant to steal the show, and this vanilla-infused tart is the perfect way to show ’em off. This is the perfect delicate and picturesque dessert for a fancy occasion or simple summer entertaining.

Get the recipe from Colorful Eats.

2. Blueberry & kiwi tart

paleo-fruit-tart-7

The contrast in colour arranged on this tart is a feast for the eyes. In a single bite, you’ll experience the tart, juicy, and sweet burst of flavour that comes from a unique blend of kiwi and blueberry.

This dessert is rich with nutrients and antioxidants. The base is gooey and delicious, plus it’s made from entirely raw ingredients. The star of the show is what’s packed in between, though – a dairy-free banana and cashew cream.

Get the recipe from Blissful Basil.

3. Strawberry chocolate tart

paleo-fruit-tart-5

Here’s one for the chocolate lovers! Fortunately, berries pair up exceptionally well with cocoa. The show stopper in this recipe has to be the middle layer of vegan chocolate ganache.

It’s rich, creamy, and spoon-lickin’ good – you might even be tempted to lick the bowl, too. Plus, it’s just TWO ingredients! Don’t miss out on the ultimate sweets combo. Get the recipe from Bakerita.

4. Strawberry & almond galette

paleo-fruit-tart-2

Is anything more beautiful than a galette? The fruit is folded carefully – but not too carefully – in a gorgeous, flaky and fluffy, grain-free crust, and it’s dusted with a generous layer of shaved, toasted almonds.

You can almost smell it as it rises in the oven! This recipe is actually quite simple in terms of baking and ingredients, and it’s so worth making as the centerpiece of your table.

Get the recipe from Running to the Kitchen.

5. Low-carb blueberry & mascarpone tarts

paleo-fruit-tart-3

Low-carb? Yes, please! These tarts feature a lemon and almond shortbread dough, made raw with a mixture of nuts, seeds, and naturally sweet dates.

The filling is a satiating blend of mascarpone and heavy whipping cream, packing in the most flavor from those healthy and hearty fats! Top it off with fresh berries, or reach for frozen.

You can easily make these single-serve bites for a party in a muffin tin if you don’t have a tart tin, or just make the recipe in a full-size pie pan. Get the recipe from I Breathe, I’m Hungry.

6. Raw chocolate orange tart

paleo-fruit-tart-4

Ah, here’s another one for the chocoholics! A really wonderful pairing that really lets you savor the rich flavors of dark chocolate and those earthy undertones is citrus.

It helps bring out everything that is good about chocolate. Basically, this tart is a party in your mouth. This raw treat features a buttery macadamia and cocoa crust, plus the option to use fresh oranges OR orange essential oils, so you can really make it during any season.

Experiment with different citrus, or get a little crazy with some blood orange for the winter months. Get the recipe from Becomingness.

7. Raspberry custard tart

paleo-fruit-tart-6

You just can’t go wrong with custard. Alongside raspberries, it’s another summer staple. It’s delectable, sweet, and creamy without being too heavy. This is an excellent indulgence.

Plus, this custard is jam-packed with nutrient-dense ingredients like pastured egg yolks, grass-fed gelatine, and delicious coconut milk. The cookie crust is reminiscent of lemon bars. Get the recipe from Paleo Running Momma.

8. No-bake lime & avocado tart

paleo-fruit-tart-8

Our favorite secret ingredient might just be oh-so-versatile avocado. Somehow, this fruit ends up in everything. Its mild, buttery flavor and texture lend itself well to savory dishes and desserts – especially when “creamy” is the goal.

A burst of citrus comes from lime in this dish, sticking to the “all things green” theme. It’s like key lime pie all grown up, no-bake style. Get the recipe from Running to the Kitchen.

9. Coconut lemon meringue tarts

paleo-fruit-tart-9

If you want to appear as though you are the master of dessert – even if you’ve never baked before in your life – this recipe is CLEARLY the way to go.

Magazine-worthy in both presentation and flavor combination, everyone adores lemon meringue. This paleo spin on a classic recipe features a beautiful whipped meringue – a worthy endeavor, albeit a labour of love – and a luscious

Meyer lemon filling. Meyer lemons are slightly sweeter than regular lemons, and come in season during summer. Get the recipe from The Kitchen McCabe.

10. Strawberry papaya ice cream tart

paleo-fruit-tart-10

What makes a fruity, healthy, grain-free tart even better? Ice cream, of course! Or rather, “nice cream,” which is made from frozen fruit. It’s a match made in heaven.

This simple, four-ingredient tart combines the two for a tropically-inspired blend of papaya and strawberries. The base is a blend of dates and mulberries for an interesting spin on a raw crust, adding some super food power.

Get the recipe from Unconventional Baker.

11. Keto chocolate peanut butter tart

grain-free-keto-tart

Swoon. Can you believe this is low-carb and keto-friendly?! Chocolate and peanut butter are SO meant to be together. Just look at those thick layers of delicious, healthy, high-fat awesomeness!

The crust is packed with almonds and fibre-rich flaxseed, the middle layer is simply butter and nut butter (talk about heaven!!!), and the top layer is a whipped avocado and cocoa blend.

Get the recipe from Ruled.me.

12. Apple tart with pear & cranberry compote

grain-free-apple-tart

You don’t have to wait for a holiday to make this autumnal tart. It’s loaded with seasonal crisp and warmth from delicious apples and pears, plus tart cranberries to balance everything out.

The top of this tart is a work of art in its own right, and it’s totally worth the effort for the ‘rose’ effect. The compote is infused with fresh orange zest and beautiful, aromatic vanilla while the crust has notes of brown butter.

20 One-Skillet Meals That Are Healthy & Delicious

20 One Skillet Meals That Are Healthy & Delicious

There’s nothing more beautiful than a one-skillet meal. When you’re hungry and you want something healthy fast, the last thing you want to do is bust out half the dishes in the kitchen just to make dinner.

Even if the cooking is quick, the clean-up isn’t, and we know what happens when those dishes start to pile up… you get far less motivated to do them.

20 One-Skillet Meals That Are Healthy & Delicious

We already covered some of our favorite sheet-pan meals, but today, we’re focusing on the skillet. Whether you’re a cast-iron person or you opt for stainless steel or ceramic instead, we’ve got ideas for your biggest, most coveted skillet.

All you need is a healthy mix of veggies, protein, and fat to have a full-on meal, and we’re pretty sure your best skillet can take that. If not, it’s time to upgrade!

I personally prefer cast iron for one-skillet meals for a few reasons. For instance, the bottom heats up evenly, so everything in your skillet gets cooked pretty evenly.

Better yet, you can easily transfer it to the oven to finish cooking things up top, broil up a thicker piece of meat or the yolks of eggs that take longer to cook than the rest of the ingredients, or simply to keep warm.

Plus, these guys are durable and will last forever if you take good care of ’em.

Breakfast & brunch

If you have time to linger around for a bit in the mornings, breakfast can be one of the simplest, most hands-off meals of the day.

Save these ones for the weekends, or make it a point to prep the ingredients to whip one of these up straight out of bed. Nothing beats hot breakfast on a busy morning… besides slow weekend brunches with endless coffee, of course.

Scalloped potato frittata

Healthy One-Skillet Recipes

This recipe uses scalloped potatoes for a delicious grain-free crust, more reminiscent of hash browns except they’re part of the frittata. This is a gorgeous brunch to serve, a nice skillet meal to prep ahead of time and slice for later in the week, or even eating for dinner.

The mixture of caramelized onions, prosciutto, and coconut milk in the eggs bring that hearty texture home. Bonus: includes recipe for mango salsa to top. Get the details from I Heart Umami.

Mexican shakshuka

healthy-one-skillet-meal-8

Shakshuka is homey and delicious. It’s such a fun and unique way to dig into the first meal of the day with some gorgeous yolks on top. Mexican food just deserves to be had for breakfast more often!

This shakshuka still has a traditional tomato sauce surrounding it with spices like cumin and oregano to shake things up. Avocado, olives, raw cheddar, and tortillas really bring it altogether!

Plus, it’s so simple to clean up. Get the recipe from What Great Grandma Ate.

Frittata with chorizo & tomatoes 

healthy-one-skillet-meal-11

Frittatas are the ultimate one-skillet breakfast meal. This version is boasting fresh, juicy tomatoes, some red pepper, and chorizo with that fresh paprika flavour.

This is a fantastic and hearty meal you can easily break off a slice of in the morning on your way out the door, keeping you full for hours. Get the recipe from Eat Drink Paleo.

Paleo skillet breakfast

healthy-one-skillet-meal-12

This skillet meal has it ALL going on. It’s perfect for a lazy weekend morning, and it totally doesn’t look lazy so you’ll get brunch points regardless. You can make this in one big skillet, or toss it in personal skillets for extra charm.

It has everything you could possibly be craving for breakfast in one dish – ground pork, potatoes, onion, peppers, eggs, and avocado. Get the recipe from Anya’s Eats.

Skillet hash browns

healthy-one-skillet-meal-14

SWOON. How dreamy does this skillet hash brown look? The cast iron is the perfect way to get crispy, even edges all along the outside and perfectly cooked, tender potatoes on the inside.

The even heat distribution is PERFECT for these. Get the recipe from Epicurious.

Moroccan inspired breakfast skillet (AIP) 

20 One-Skillet Meals That Are Healthy & Delicious

Egg-free skillet breakfast? You got it. This dish is packed with Moroccan flavour and healthy spices like cinnamon and turmeric. It has plenty of substance from the pork and greens mix, with a bit of hash inspiration going on from the sweet potato.

Toss some raisins in for a little layer of sweetness and you’re waking up on the right side of the bed. Get the recipe from Autoimmune Wellness.

Lunch & dinner ideas

When it comes down to it, we’re not very strict about these meal labels. We’ll definitely dig into an omelette for dinner, and there’s no question about having curry or salads for breakfast.

In any case, these one-skillet meals are aimed towards quick cooking whenever you need something on the table, and they are pretty family-friendly. Just make sure your skillet is big enough to serve your household!

Sausage, sweet potato, & veggie skillet

healthy-one-skillet-meal-16

Roasted brussels sprouts change the game. If you’ve only had them steamed or boiled, they’ll blow your mind. You can probably use this “trick” to get the kids pumped up about eating ’em, too!

This skillet features a hearty mix of greens, healthy starch from sweet potatoes, and sausage for a full meal. Top it with an egg for breakfast, or tote some on its own for a healthy office lunch. Get the recipe from Paleo Running Momma

Thai red curry with sweet potato noodles

healthy-one-skillet-meal-2

Sweet potato noodles are so simple to cook. You can easily use them in a one-skillet dish, instead of boiling a pot for pasta or using spaghetti squash which can take awhile to cook!

This red curry comes to life with chicken in the mix, basil, greens and other veggies, and you can make it as spicy as you like! This is a great 30-minute meal that rivals the time it takes for takeaway Thai to arrive.

Get the recipe from The Savory Lotus.

One-skillet lemon Parmesan chicken

healthy-one-skillet-meal-15

“Fried” chicken always hits the spot. If someone tells you they don’t like it, they’re lying. If you’re avoiding grains, you can replace the flour and breadcrumbs with almond meal instead, bringing in some tasty, nutty flavor.

Don’t skip out on the gorgeous lemon-butter sauce. Get the recipe from Chelsea’s Messy Apron

Pakistani Kima beef curry

healthy-one-skillet-meal-3

This budget-friendly Indian dish is deliciously humble. It’s a ground beef curry – and you know you always have ground beef handy! Combining the deep flavors of India and Pakistan, this curry  is a total crowd-pleaser.

Honey garlic chicken & cauliflower rice skillet

healthy-one-skillet-meal-17

Takeaway classics are generally simple to recreate. This no-fuss honey-garlic chicken totally gets the job done while going above and beyond with stellar flavor.

This juicy chicken is a repeat meal for sure, served alongside cauliflower rice, or white rice if you prefer. Either way, it’s good eats! Add some veggies to the mix if you’re feeling inspired. Get the recipe from The Almond Eater

Cauliflower carbonara

healthy-one-skillet-meal-4

In just 15 minutes, you’ve got creamy carbonara spotted with smoky, delicious bacon on the table. Seriously! This grain-free rendition is made with cauliflower instead – our favorite versatile veggie – and topped off with a fresh egg yolk to add to the creaminess.

Oh, and don’t skimp on the garlic. This dish is MADE to take on a lot of it. Get the recipe from The Castaway Kitchen.

20-minute shrimp & sausage paleo skillet

One-Skilet Shrimp & Sausage Meal

Shrimp and sausage is the ultimate combination. Double the protein, double the fun. This southern-inspired meal is a unique kind of surf ‘n’ turf.

It uses Old Bay seasoning – a necessary spice blend that you NEED if you don’t already have.  This dish is versatile. Just grab your favorite veggies or what you have on-hand, and keep that pre-cooked protein stocked!

Get the recipe from The Paleo Newbie

Rustic chorizo pasta

healthy-one-skillet-meal-5

Pasta is a great one-pot meal. It’s even better if it’s grain-free. This rustic chorizo topping is basically like a heartier, more flavorful, quick bolognese sauce – and you could easily sub out chorizo for ground beef if you’d like.

This is one of those recipes you need when you just can’t. Despite how little time or effort you have to put in, it’s going to taste AMAZING each time – perhaps, even better!

Plus, it will yield delicious leftovers. Get the recipe from Plaid & Paleo.

healthy-one-skillet-meal-7

Check out the fridge right now, and I bet you could make this dish. That’s the beauty of a skillet meal – it really helps eliminate food waste, use what you have on-hand, get creative, and build up a repertoire of tasty yet easy meals you want to revisit.

This ground turkey and brussels sprouts mix cooks up SO quickly with some coconut oil and red bell peppers. Yum! Plenty of taste and texture in this dish. Get the recipe from My Heart Beets.

BBQ pork & butternut squash skillet

healthy-one-skillet-meal-2

Like leftovers? Then you’ll love this dish. Pulled pork yields quite a bit of meat sometimes, and you’ve just gotta find ways to rework it into something else!

This skillet will crisp up the deliciousness that is BBQ meat alongside some shredded, slightly sweet butternut squash – which you could replace with sweet potato if you’d like. Plus, you could always crack an egg on top!

Get the recipe from Popular Paleo.

Spaghetti squash chicken chorizo skillet

healthy-one-skillet-meal-9

10 Most Delicious Poke Bowl Recipes

If you’ve never had a poke bowl before, you’re in for a treat! Even if you have, you’re probably accustomed to ordering them at restaurants or sushi bars. Why not make your own at home?

While poke is a fabulously healthy option even when eating out most of the time, controlling and customizing your ingredients will save you money, ensure quality ingredients that agree with YOUR body, and give you the best taste possible.

We have a roundup of some of the tastiest poke bowl recipes we could find.

If you can get your hands on some sushi-grade fish, the rest is simple! The fish is totally worth the splurge, too.

These are great summertime dishes to cool down with, and you can definitely do some poke prep by making bowls earlier in the week to tote in your lunchbox.

You can learn how to build your own poke bowl here, or get some serious fish-spiration with these poke ideas.

1. Spicy paleo poke bowls

Top 10 Poke Bowl Recipes

Traditional poke isn’t going to be strict paleo as it usually features some rice, so we thought we’d kick things off with this grain-free poke bowl. It uses avocado oil mayonnaise from Sir Kensington’s mixed with Sriracha for a creamy, spicy sauce to toss around that fresh ahi in.

The rest is up to you with the veggies. This recipe uses cabbage, carrot, seaweed, avocado, and even some fresh mango to sweeten things up. Get the details from Caroline Potter.

2. Tuna poke avocado boats

delicious-poke-bowl-2

Why not swap your bowl for an avocado? This is one of our favorite real food hacks for stepping up any meal’s deliciousness potential.

Avocado is a fabulous complement to any poke bowl in the first place, so we love this boat recipe packed with tuna, macadamia nuts, cucumber, and Whole30-compliant sesame oil and coconut aminos, skipping out on the soy. Get the recipe from Anya’s Eats.

3. Ahi poke stack

delicious-poke-bowl-3

Why put it in a bowl when you could stack it up like this? Dinner for one or cooking for guests, this one is totally impressive and totally tasty – even if you can’t keep it in one piece while you eat it!

It’s like poke Jenga, layered with a beautifully sweet marinade, tuna, cucumber, broccoli slaw, tomatoes, and avocado. The best part might be the grain-free won-ton it’s served atop. Can you say YUM? Get the recipe from Paleo Cupboard.

4. Spicy wild Alaskan sockeye salmon poke bowls

delicious-poke-bowl-3

With this bowl, you’ll be eating the rainbow and loving every second of it. Salmon is a fabulous choice for poke bowls, especially if you’re watching mercury levels as it doesn’t contain quite as much as tuna (which is 100% fine and healthy on occasion!).

It’s served atop a beautiful crunchy salad, shown here with cabbage, carrots, avocado, and edamame. This dish also comes with a quick pickled cucumber recipe that’ll bring a bit of tang to the picture! Get the recipe from Jessica Gavin.

5. Shoyu ahi poke

delicious-poke-bowl-4

Shoyu ahi is a traditional Hawaiian dish of raw fish with soy sauce and sesame oil. It’s fabulous over a bed of steamed rice and/or with all of the veggies your heart desires.

This bowl is seasoned with furikake – an umami-packed sea veggie – to deepen the flavor and add some extra layers to this already tasty poke! There’s also a paleo adaptation for this to keep it Happy Body Formula-friendly and soy-free.

Get the recipe from Skinnytaste.

6. Spicy shrimp poke bowl

delicious-poke-bowl-5

Poke isn’t limited to just tuna and salmon. You can pretty much use any sushi-grade fish, and shrimp is yet another delicious option for building your own bowl.

Shrimp is by far the most budget-friendly of the bunch, so if you need your fix without having to dish out the big bucks, this might be your best bet! This recipe is served over rice with prawns coated in a dreamy mayo-based sauce.

You can serve it with anything else you have handy including nutrient-dense sprouts or vibrant watermelon radish like this bowl. Get the recipe from Abby Langer Nutrition.

7. Seared Hawaiian beef poke

delicious-poke-bowl-6

Variety is the spice of life, so this fun poke-themed bowl made with seared beef instead is a fabulous idea for both the wallets and BBQ parties alike!

It’s got a similar seasoning you’ll find in most traditional Hawaiian poke bowls with the soy and sesame, and the light sear will lock that flavor in while the tender, rare inside melts in your mouth.

It’s served atop a fresh chopped salad of onion, radish, cucumber, tomato, and chillies for a kick. Get the recipe from Great British Chefs.

8. Salmon poke with macadamia nuts & fried shallots

delicious-poke-bowl-7

The perfect poke bowl has it all. It’s got some raw food and some cooked food. It’s got sweet notes and spicy notes. It’s got some crunch to it to add texture alongside that melt-in-your-mouth raw fish.

It’s got a bit of smoke and tons of umami. That’s why we love this recipe. It brings in healthy fats from buttery macadamia nuts and next-level flavor with a simple topping of fried shallots where a little go a long way.

Get the recipe from Serious Eats.

9. Tuna, nori, & avocado poke bowl

delicious-poke-bowl-8

Perhaps the best part about this begins with the rice “salad” at the bottom. It’s a luscious, tasty, and healthy mix of short-grain brown rice and white sushi rice.

It’s topped off with beautiful tuna, strips of salty, iodine-rich nori, and ripe avocado then dusted with sesame seeds and macadamia nuts, toasted to perfection. Get the recipe from Good Food.

10. Salmon & avocado poke bowl

delicious-poke-bowl-9

Salmon and avocado are pretty standard fare in the world of poke. This mixture is served atop a green-infused brown rice salad, boasting strands of nutritious and deliciously spicy arugula and Chinese-style dijon mustard for a unique spin on the classic!

Top it off with fish roe or caviar for the best results (and because you deserve to feel fancy). Get the recipe from Eating Well.

The MUST-HAVE Gadget For Healthy Cooking

Setting up an efficient kitchen is a huge key to success when it comes to batch cooking or simply staying inspired in the kitchen. While shopping for fun kitchen supplies and gadgets can feel overwhelming and expensive, we have a few favorites.

Amongst the non-negotiables in the kitchen is the veggie spiralizer. While it might seem flippant, it’s a fabulous investment. It’s budget-friendly and incredibly useful for turning average meals into something a little more exciting.

Plus, who doesn’t like noodles? It’s a must-have for anyone avoiding grains!

Why The Veggie Spiralizer Is A Must-Have Gadget For Healthy Cooking
Image credit: Bon Appetit

Why you should get a raw vegetable spiralizer

For one, we’re big believers in treating yourself. A good vegetable spiralizer doesn’t cost a fortune, nor does it take up a ton of space. If you have a few dollars and a tiny bit of counter space to spare, the spiralizer will swiftly become your best friend.

You’ll wonder, “How did I live without this? as you revel in the glory of your noodle dishes and curly fries.

Best Raw Vegetable Spiralizer

It’s fantastic for warm weather for a few reasons, in particular. While hearty soups and pasta dishes will be a staple during the cooler months, the spiralizer can put those garden veggies to good use, helping you eliminate waste because you KNOW just how much zucchini you get every year!

Plus, you can work up gorgeous raw dishes like raw zucchini zoodles with fresh pesto, or cool cucumber salads with an Asian dressing. Don’t worry – we’ve got recipes coming up!

Turning the oven on in the summertime heat can be totally brutal, but we need a way to get nutrient-dense meals on the table regardless. That’s why we love this little gadget so much.

Another obvious reason to snag a veggie spiralizer is to keep things fresh if you’re cutting down on grains. Life without pasta just isn’t the same, so we’ve found a way around that.

No – zucchini doesn’t taste like spaghetti, but if you load it up with a tasty bolognese or Alfredo sauce, it will certainly take on the flavors while cutting calories and the potential negative health side effects of wheat.

It’s also not just good for spiralizing – it can slice and dice like no other. You can use it to thinly slice onions in record time (and with far less tears), “shred” cabbage perfect for coleslaw, or “rice” veggies like beets and squash for grain-free curries, burrito bowls, and more.

Finally, it’s effective and efficient. It’s quicker than boiling water to make pasta in the first place, and it makes eating veggies feel accessible and even fun.

Not only does it make for super fast prep work, but it’s effective in getting the kids to eat veggies, using up that stray produce in the fridge, and keeping you feeling inspired to try new and exciting recipes.

These are big battles when it comes to a sustainable way of healthy eating. We’ve really gotta hand it to the spiralizer!

Spiralizing beyond zoodles

Veggie Spiralizer Ideas

Let’s talk about what the spiralizer can do. We see plenty of zucchini noodles a.k.a. zoodles, but its abilities extend far beyond that.

If you get a quality spiralizer, you can work nearly anything into curly strands of veggie excellence.

Spiralized zucchini ideas

Spiralized Zucchini Recipes

This is the most common spiralized veggie, and for good reason. It’s just sturdy enough, it has a very mild flavour that takes on other sauces well, you can easily eat it raw (while having it still taste ah-mazing!), and it’s super low in calories.

It’s fibre-rich and packed with vitamins and minerals, so you can really load up your plate and eat that heaping portion of pasta that you’ve only dreamed about before.

You can sub it out for yellow summer squash, too, depending on what you have around. Here are a few recipes to try:

Spiralized beets

Spiralized Beets Recipes

Beets can admittedly be a tough veggie to work with. If you like to peel them, you know it can be a bit of work – and a bit of a mess! You can opt for red beetroot or golden beetroot with the spiralizer to make roasted beet strings or beet noodles if you’re feeling funky.

The slight sweetness lends itself well to a huge variety of dishes and sauces. It works especially well with creamy sauce recipes or pesto for a gorgeous color contrast. The only downside is that starchier veggies tend to have a longer cooking time.

It’s still far less time required to cook the spiralized veggies than it is to roast them whole, though! Oh, and you could still eat them raw, too. Here’s some recipe inspiration:

Ideas for cucumbers

Spiralized Cucumber Recipes

Cucumber is a lovely no-cook option for the spiralizer when you just need a side dish, but don’t feel like putting in the effort or cooking. This hydrating veggie is delicious and abundant in the spring and summer – especially for you green thumbs!

It’s a great base for fresh herbs and tangy onions or a simple solution of oil and vinegar to take things to the next notch. If you’re entertaining in the summer, you will be thankful for your spiralizer.

Take notes with these cucumber “noodle” recipes:

Spiralized carrots

Spiralized Carrot Recipes

Carrots are a beautiful base for a raw or cooked dish. Like beets, they have a nice sweetness and crunch to them, and they come in a variety of colours for maximum nutrient and presentation options.

It’s good to choose thicker carrots as they’ll be far easier to spiralize. These are abundant throughout the year at farmer’s markets in particular, so another inherent benefit of the spiralizer is the drive to shop local! Basically, it’s saving the environment and your budget.

Here are some recipes to get started with:

Sweet potato with a spiralizer

Spiralized Sweet Potato Recipes

Sweet potato is hands-down one of the most versatile vegetables. It lends itself well to dishes both sweet and savory. You can mash it, you can roast it, you can slice or dice it, or you can spiralize it!

Obviously, we’re focusing on the latter and its fantastic potential. It makes for a great crispy roast as shoestring curly fries, or you can roast the spirals for a tasty bed to top off with an egg, taking breakfast hash to the next level.

Here are a few ideas:

Butternut squash

Spiralized Butternut Squash Recipes

Spiralized butternut squash noodles are pretty similar to sweet potato, and can often serve the same purposes. If you’re seeking out recipes, you could easily swap one for the other without fail, depending on what you have handy.

This is a great winter veggie to keep handy so your spiralizer gets year-round use! Butternut squash or pumpkin is generally a bit less starchy and lower in carbs, so it may be more suitable to those who watch their carbs or their blood sugar.

Here are some butternut squash recipes:

Apples!

Spiralized Apple Recipes

This is probably the go-to fruit for spiralizing. This is another fantastic option for spiralizing well into autumn as juicy apples grow in abundance. The fun part is being able to choose your flavor.

You can opt for juicy apples, sweet apples, tart apples, or anything in between. These will pair up well with savory dishes or stand alone for a healthy sweet tooth fix.

Here are some apple-licious recipe ideas:

Our best vegetable spiralizer recommendation

Paderno Vegetable Spiralizer Reviews

Take it from someone who used a tiny handheld spiralizer for a LONG time – you definitely want to splurge a little on the upgrade. Moreover, I’ve also broken a spiralizer (or two) in my day, attempting to use a product that simply wasn’t cut out for my sweet potato string dreams.

The trick is finding the right fit, and the Paderno World Cuisine Tri-Blade Slicer is perfect. You know what they say: “If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.”

The Paderno takes the heat, and gracefully so. It can handle starchy veggies that are tough to slice through, and you don’t have to get in an unofficial arm day just to make dinner with it. Score!

You can even upgrade to the 4-blade slicer if you’re dedicated to staying spiralized. Pretty much all of our team members own one!

What’s the verdict? Let us know how much you love YOUR spiralizer in the comments, and share this with someone who might be on the fence. Better yet – surprise them with a gift!

30+ Ideas For a Healthy Kids’ Lunchbox

Kids are notoriously picky eaters. If you’ve overhauled your own eating habits, you’ve hopefully let some of your good influence bleed into the kids’ meals, too, but most parents are aware this is no easy feat.

From weird texture to the ultimate reluctance to green vegetables, kids tend to have far more hang-ups regarding their food than adults do. No doubt, one of the most important meals to address is lunch.

healthy-kids-lunchbox-1

If you’re sending the kids off to school, their options are hit or miss, and some of these schools consider pizza a ‘vegetable.’

Mid-day at school, any growing boy or girl needs some nutrient-dense food with sustaining energy to keep their brains and bodies sharp for everything from gym class soccer games to number-crunching in math class.

If you’re running out of healthy ideas the kids will actually like for lunch, we’ve got you covered in our roundup.

Eat your veggies

Perhaps the toughest hurdle to jump is this one. Veggies don’t resonate with every kid’s palate, and even then, you might have a fickle one on your hands.

Maybe they like broccoli one day and not the next, or maybe they will only eat carrots now despite eating other veggies last week. In that case, it’s time to get creative with some fun, veggie-heavy, portable and pack-able recipes the kiddos will enjoy day after day.

Grain-free cauliflower & broccoli biscuits

healthy-kids-lunchbox-6

Biscuits are one of the best ways you can get the kids to eat their veggies with enthusiasm. These grain-free bites are loaded with cruciferous crunch from both broccoli and cauliflower.

Get the recipe from The Natural Nurturer. Alternatively, check out Irena’s low-carb, nut-free cauliflower hash browns below.

Beetroot, walnut, & prune dip

healthy-kids-lunchbox-12

If the kids aren’t keen on turning up the beet, this is a good way to turn them on to it. This dip is slightly sweet from the earthy veggie mixed with prunes, and the walnuts add a bit more texture.

It’s full of good-for-you foods and antioxidants, and the kids will love the taste with some seed crackers or veggies to dip into it if they can get past the vibrant color! Get the recipe from Eat Drink Paleo.

Classic vegetable soup

It’s great to have some thermos recipes handy for the cooler months, and simply as a way to mix things up. Plus, soup is one of the best ways to get more veggies into the diet.

A classic vegetable soup made from scratch beats the canned versions and tastes far better anyways. Finally, this recipe comes together in just 20 minutes and you can make a big batch to freeze some for future school lunch packing.

Get the recipe from Raising Generation Nourished.

Spinach & sweet potato bombs

healthy-kids-lunchbox-15

Give the little ones a reason to ask for MORE greens! These slightly sweet and dough-y balls pack in loads of vitamins from both sweet potato and spinach, and they’re slightly crispy on the outside from a light pan-frying.

They’ll be asking for seconds for sure! Get the recipe from Eat Drink Paleo.

Broccoli “cheese” sticks

These are grain-free, pumped up with nutritious broccoli, and made “cheesy” without the dairy using nutritional yeast. If the kids are missing breadsticks, these are the answer!

Pack them up with some homemade sauce to dip, or consider them a perfectly suitable veggie serving on the side of any main dish. Get the recipe from Physical Kitchness.

Zucchini bites

healthy-kids-lunchbox-20

Zucchini, cheese, and oats are just about all you need for these guys! This makes them a fantastic crunchy “chip” packed with fibre, healthy fats, and veggies. Try to eat just one!

The kids will devour these. They’re fabulous for dipping or topping with guacamole. Get the recipe from Healthy Little Foodies.

Protein & main meal ideas

A balanced meal needs a little bit of everything, of course. You want to give the kids something that really fills them up and helps them grow.

Protein is one of the most important quotas to meet in a child’s diet because their bodies are doing a lot of work in getting taller and stronger. Kids are highly inclined to snack, so it’s good to find main dishes they will clear their plates of.

Here are some ideas we like (and so will the kiddos!).

Nut-free paleo chicken nuggets

healthy-kids-lunchbox-4

This recipe certainly beats the lunch room chicken nuggets, breaded and fried and baked from frozen. Better yet, these are great to pack if you can’t pack nuts with the kids.

Oh, and they’re delicious, packed with herbalicious flavor. Get the recipe from The Castaway Kitchen.

Garden veggie & herb meatballs

These meatballs are perfect finger food. Grass-fed beef is an undercover super food we love, and it will keep the kids going all day.

Plus, we’ve got some hidden veggies in here to up the nutrient profile and keep the little ones chowing down on those healthy plant foods. Get the recipe from Savory Lotus.

Instant & smooth chocolate chia pudding

healthy-kids-lunchbox-5

Plant protein is the way to go with this chia pudding. The blended texture will be more palateable for kids who might find the gummy texture of full soaked seeds a little weird.

Oh, and of course they’ll adore the chocolate. It’s also full of healthy, rich fats from coconut milk so this is a nice way to sneak in some nutrient-rich energy with dessert for lunch. Get the recipe from The Natural Nurturer.

Protein banana breakfast muffins

There’s nothing wrong with disguising a healthy dose of protein in a banana bread-inspired muffin. These bites are nutrient-dense with healthy ingredients like collagen, coconut flour, sorghum, almond flour, and more.

Get the recipe from Raising Generation Nourished.

Chicken veggie poppers

healthy-kids-lunchbox-8

Protein AND veggies all in one bite? This is a parents’ dream! These are fantastic for packing up in the lunchbox with a tasty dipping sauce – this recipe includes a gorgeous and creamy aioli to boost healthy fats.

Get the recipe from Paleo Paparazzi.

Paleo protein meusli bars

If the kids aren’t feeling a full-on savory meal, offering up a little something sweet in its place with a good blend of macronutrients is crucial!

You can make a big batch that will last a few weeks, and unlike store-bought granola bars, you can feel great knowing about the awesome ingredients hiding out in these including almonds, Brazil nuts for a selenium boost, healthy pumpkin seeds, naturally sweet dates, and sesame seeds – the list goes ON!

Get the recipe from Eat Drink Paleo.

Italian lettuce wraps

healthy-kids-lunchbox-13

These fit perfectly into a lunchbox meal. They’re an easy no-cook option to toss together for the kids when you just can’t and need something easy and nourishing.

Having some good quality deli meats, cheeses, and veggies on hand to wrap up is all you need for this one. Get the recipe from Plaid & Paleo.

Nut-free mini paleo pizzas

healthy-kids-lunchbox-14

Every kid loves pizza. This is a fact. Unfortunately, the school cafeteria’s pies are probably coming from frozen, loaded with grains and processed ingredients, and aren’t going very heavy on protein or healthy fats.

These crusts are grain-free and nut-free so they’re totally allergen-friendly, and you can top them off to your kid’s liking. Get the recipe from Eat Drink Paleo.

Snack smart

If you can’t quite convince the kids that eating balanced meals three times a day is important yet they’re always reaching for something to snack on, maube it’s just time to step up the healthy munchies game.

Give them a little something to look forward to with these options.

Toasted coconut chips

healthy-kids-lunchbox-9

Coconut chips are super tasty, but they can cost a pretty penny at the store. What’s the secret? It’s pretty simple. The kids will love these, plus they’re refined sugar-free and satiating.

This recipe is low-carb, so you can feel good about easing the sweet tooth with these. Get the recipe from Whole New Mom.

Sweet ‘n’ spicy nuts

Nuts are a highly snack-able way to boost healthy fats to keep the brain and body on the same page. If you’ve got a kid with a spicy, crunchy, or salty tooth on your hands, this mix is great to make a big batch of and portion out at the beginning of the week.

Get the recipe from Wilderness Family Naturals.

Chia honey power bars

healthy-kids-lunchbox-10

These are great for tiding the kids over until lunch or as a side. You know they need a boost of energy for gym class! These bars are loaded with tasty ingredients like good-for-you chia seeds, nuts, avocado oil, collagen, and coconut for that long-lasting endurance.

Get the recipe from Raising Generation Nourished.

Zesty nacho kale chips

Ditch potatoes for kale, and your kid is going to be that kid, but one bite into these nacho-inspired chips and every fourth grader is going to be on board the kale train, eager for leafy greens.

Sunbutter, tahini, nutritional yeast, sesame oil, coconut aminos and more come together for a gorgeous array of nutritious ingredients that pack in SERIOUS flavor.

Make a big batch – bet you can’t eat just one! Get the recipe from Delicious Obsessions.

Paleo gummies (three flavours!)

healthy-kids-lunxhbox-16

Fruit snacks are such a common commodity at school. In vending machines, served with lunch, or handed out at sports games and parties, you’re bound to see them floating around.

The nutrition facts aren’t what you’d call impressive though; a tiny bag packs a load of sugar. Despite boasting “real fruit,” your average fruit snack is just candy in disguise. This recipe uses gut-friendly collagen and simple, real ingredients without all the added sugar.

Get the recipe from Bakerita.

Tiger nut trail mix

This mix is fabulous for those with a peanut allergy. It steps outside of the box using tiger nuts – a type of resistant starch with prebiotics – cashews, and brazil nuts for a hit of selenium to nourish the growing young ones!

Plus, there’s some chocolate in the mix. Get the recipe from Today In Dietzville.

Roasted chickpeas (six ways!)

healthy-kids-lunchbox-19

Any picky eater will get on board with one of these delicious recipes. C’mon – what kid doesn’t love ranch?! Roasted chick peas are easy to make in big batches, store, and dish out throughout the week.

They’re crunchy, flavorful, satisfying, and packed up with fibre and plant protein. Get the recipe from This Grandma Is Fun.

Sweet potato chips

Chips are another thing that float around pretty freely in schools, and they’re definitely not disguising themselves as a “health food.” Let’s change the game though!

These two-ingredient chips are made with good-for-you vitamin-rich sweet potato and fried in coconut oil to boost healthy fats, compared to the usual hydrogenated, refined oils found in a pack of crisps. Get the recipe from Healy Eats Real.

Sweet treats

If you’re going to keep your kids on track with eating healthy, you need to implement some balance. If they don’t get their sweets from you, they’re going to find them elsewhere.

Besides, what’s the fun in being a kid if you don’t get dessert sometimes? These treats are refined sugar-free and grain-free for a healthy spin on some classics.

Low-carb snickerdoodle cookie dough balls

healthy-kids-lunchbox-3

Cinnamon sugar in every bite, but they’re low-carb? Instead of sending the kids’ blood sugar rising after lunch just because their teachers have to put up with it doesn’t mean you should.

These ingredients are ones you can feel good about with loads of healthy fats that will keep them going far past lunch from a delicious blend of coconut and almond butter. Get the recipe from Whole New Mom.

Carrot raisin no-bake treats

Baking is fine and dandy, but when you don’t have time, these simple 5-ingredient no-bake carrot and raisin bites are the perfect treat to whip up.

They’re a simple blend of coconut oil, coconut, carrot, and raisins so they’re just slightly sweet. Plus, they use ingredients we usually have on-hand for lunch packing emergencies! Get the recipe from Traditional Cooking School.

Flourless chocolate chip banana breakfast cookies

healthy-kids-lunchbox-11

These cookies aren’t just limited to breakfast. They’re soft and chewy just like your favourite classic chocolate chip cookie recipe, boasting fibre from flaxseed meal, natural sweetness from bananas and honey, and a dense, moist dough made possible by rich nut butter.

Pack one of these up for a pleasant, chocolate chip-dotted surprise! Get the recipe from The Natural Nurturer.

Tropical raw bliss balls

Bliss balls are basically a concoction of dates or other dried fruits – in this case, pineapple and mango – nuts, seeds, coconut, and whatever other goodness you want to toss in there.

They require no baking at all, and can take on any flavor you want. This tropical rendition is fabulous any time, but especially when the weather warms up. Get the recipe on the blog.

Almond butter & jelly bars

healthy-kids-lunchbox-17

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are undoubtedly a lunch box staple. These bars hit all the notes without any peanuts, grains, dairy, or added sugar, so they’re the winner in OUR books.

Besides, the kids will agree… cookie bars > sandwiches. Get the recipe from Paleo Running Momma.

Bread and buns

Kids and adults love sandwiches. It’s the perfect way to load up on goodies in a perfectly portable way, making them the perfect contender for the lunch box.

Ditch whole-wheat enriched bread for these grain-free and gluten-free alternatives.

Plantain sandwich rounds

healthy-kids-lunchbox-2

With just two ingredients, these plantain rounds are free of grains and loaded with healthy starch – plantains – to keep the kiddos fueled all day long.

Pack up leftover burgers, veggie sandwiches, almond butter and jam, or organic deli meats and cheese in the middle. Who could complain about this lunch? Get the recipe from Delicious Obsessions.

Stuffed sweet potato buns

These grain-free buns are stuffed with goodies quite like a stromboli or calzone. Heck, you could even throw some pizza toppings in there to make it complete.

The bun itself is full of sweet potato, coconut flour, and gelatine for a balance of fibre, protein, healthy fats, and more. You can easily freeze these and pop ’em out of the freezer for the lunchbox the night before, making a variety to accommodate the kids’ ever-changing taste buds.

Get the recipe from The Castaway Kitchen.

Grain-free sandwich bread

healthy-kids-lunchbox-18

This is yet another great grain-free option for a bread replacement. Load these low-carb slices up with veggies, your favourite spreads, some protein, or nut butters.

This bread is perfect for baking a loaf of, freezing, and taking out to easily assemble tasty sandwiches. Get the recipe from Living Healthy With Chocolate.

What’s on the inside counts, but so does what is on the outside! You can get more ideas from Grass Fed Girl here, and check out our guide to safe food storage and non-toxic tupperware to pack those healthy lunches in.

12 Unique & Delicious Guacamole Recipes

I’m going to assume many of you are quite like me when it comes to guacamole. It goes on everything, the more the better, and yes – I will pay extra.

Classic guacamole is the complement to any meal that you can’t go wrong with. I love to pile a scoop on top of barbacoa or carnitas, load it up into a gluten-free taco, or top off some rice and beans with it.

Basically, anyone who eats food can find a good pairing (a.k.a. everyone).

The best and tastiest guacamole dip recipes

I recently went to one of my favorite restaurants where they have an entire menu devoted to guacamole. You can build your own, or choose from their tried and tested combinations including a duck confit guac with bacon or tuna belly with sesame seeds.

Like, it’s completely ridiculous and it’s the best thing ever. Inspired by their inventive and delicious menu, I thought we should round up some of the best guacamole recipes that step outside of the box.

The best part about spicing up your guac? All you have to do is mix a few extras in and voila – it’s transformed before your very eyes. This is probably the best and most popular party trick I know.

Crab guacamole from Skinnytaste

Interesting and unusual guacamole ingredients

Crab is just PERFECT in guac. It’s light and flaky with a mildly fishy taste so as not to overwhelm. It lends the dip a protein boost so you can snack wisely and fill up a little bit.

Plus, this recipe is pretty classic with the addition of lump crab meat and nothing else. Sometimes, simple is best, and you’ll love dipping into this one – trust me! Get the recipe from Skinnytaste.

Mango guacamole from Fit Foodie Finds

guacamole-recipes-3

Sweet things lend themselves well to guac. I love the addition of chunky fruit in a creamy avocado blend, and you will too if you haven’t tried it yet.

This classic guac is jazzed up with juicy, ripe chunks of mango for a little something tropical. This is the perfect guac recipe for summer parties and BBQ events. Get the recipe from Fit Foodie Finds.

Cheesy chipotle bacon guacamole from How Sweet Eats

mexican guacamole recipe

What isn’t made better by adding a healthy dose of crispy bacon and queso fresco? The answer is nothing. This loaded guac has a kick, too, with a spicy addition of chipotle peppers and adobo sauce.

This combination is undoubtedly one of the most delicious. Get the recipe from How Sweet Eats.

Strawberry goat cheese guacamole from Two Peas and Their Pod

guacamole-recipes-5

Strawberries and goat’s cheese are a combination we tend to only see on salads. Let’s switch things up a bit with this gorgeous guac recipe.

Fresh summer berries and creamy goat’s cheese not only lend great texture and flavour, but they’re super nutrient-dense foods so you can feel good about snacking smart. Get the recipe from Two Peas and Their Pod.

Blue cheese and smoked almond guacamole from Platings and Pairings

guacamole-recipes-6

This one has it ALL going on. It’s smoky and tangy. It’s creamy and crunchy. Across the boards, it’s just flat-out decadent. This bowl is chock-full of healthy fats from avocados, almonds, and blue cheese.

It’s a bit like a cobb salad. You know we love salad, but guac is stealing the show today, so why not experiment with a new green base for your toppings? Get the recipe from Platings and Pairings.

Guacamole with fresh leek & jalapeños from Eat Drink Paleo 

Delicious guacamole recipes

Jalapenos and leeks? You. Bet. Leeks encompass everything that is good about that crisp and pungent taste from raw onions, plus a twinge of garlic that boosts flavor so beautifully.

Some jalapenos in the mix bring home that spicy goodness which pairs brilliantly alongside the rest of the ingredients. Get the recipe from Eat Drink Paleo.

Caramelised pineapple, bacon, and goat cheese guac from How Sweet Eats

guacamole-recipes-7

It’s getting a bit more wild and wonderful as we go along in this roundup. Here you have caramelized pineapple which brings out that natural sweetness (and looks just stunning), more bacon action because duh, and goat’s cheese to round out that smoky sweet goodness.

If you want to “junk” things up, this is your recipe. Get the dish from How Sweet Eats (the queen of fancy guac!).

Roasted poblano and charred corn guacamole from The Chunky Chef

guacamole-recipes-8

Getting a good char on your add-ins is a pretty surefire way to make your guac stand out a cut above the rest. This dish features charred corn and roasted poblano, bringing home that smoky deliciousness that just cannot be paralleled.

While this one takes a bit of effort, rest assured that the work is worth it when you get to scoop heaps of this on your tortilla chip. Get the recipe from The Chunky Chef.

Festive pomegranate guacamole from Cookie and Kate

guacamole-recipes-9

If you want to get festive, this is it. Pomegranate arils are one of the most antioxidant-rich fruits on the planet, so paired up with another of our favorite super foods – avocado – we’re kinda in love with this healthy appetizer.

Plus, it looks gorgeous! The splash of red against the creamy green, plus pomegranate’s tart and juicy crunch is a dream. Take it up a notch and add a bit of feta – yum! Get the recipe from Cookie and Kate.

Avocado hummus and salsa verde from The Mediterranean Dish

guacamole-recipes-10

Can’t choose whether to make hummus or guacamole? Don’t choose, then! This hybrid brings together the best of both worlds in a dreamy, Mediterranean-inspired blend of avocado, chick peas, and Greek yoghurt – three healthy ingredients we love!

  • 1 large head cauliflower (about 1 & ⅔ pounds / 750 g), cored and broken into ½-inch (1.25-cm) pieces
  • ⅓ cup (22 g) finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 6 strips bacon (about 6 ounces/170 g), cooked until crisp, then crumbled (reserve the grease)
  • 2 cups (475 ml) unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon finely ground gray sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅓ cup (22 g) nutritional yeast
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
  • 2 ounces (60 g) pork dust or ground pork rinds
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a shallow 1½-quart (1.4-L) casserole dish with coconut oil. Set aside.
  2. Place the cauliflower, parsley, and bacon in a large bowl and toss to combine.
  3. Place the reserved bacon grease, milk, gelatin, lemon juice, onion powder, salt, and garlic powder in a medium-sized saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking occasionally. Once boiling, continue to boil for 5 minutes.
  4. Whisk in the nutritional yeast, eggs, and mustard and gently cook for 3 minutes, whisking constantly.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the “cheese” sauce over the cauliflower mixture. (If you’ve overcooked the sauce or didn’t whisk it well enough, you may end up with small pieces of cooked egg; for an ultra-smooth sauce, pour the sauce through a fine-mesh strainer.) Toss with a spatula until all the cauliflower pieces are coated in the cheese sauce.
  6. Transfer the coated cauliflower to the prepared casserole dish and smooth it out with the back of a spatula. Sprinkle the pork dust evenly over the top. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the cauliflower is fork-tender, checking with a sharp knife on the edge of the casserole.
  7. Allow to sit for 15 minutes before serving.
  8. STORE IT: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  9. REHEAT IT: Microwave until the desired temperature is reached. Or place in a covered casserole dish and reheat in a preheated 300°F (150°C) oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until warmed through. Or reheat in a frying pan, covered, on medium-low.
  10. PREP AHEAD: Prepare the cheese sauce up to 2 days in advance. Bring it to a light simmer before continuing with Step 5.
  11. SERVE IT WITH: Add a dollop or two of mayonnaise.

Pin it for later!

20+ Fabulous Keto Dinner Recipes

Looking to keep it low-carb for dinner? Look no further!

Whether you’re doing the keto diet for weight loss or healing – or you’re just feeling like you need a little cleanse from the starch – these delicious low-carb, keto dinners are worthy of going into the nightly rotation.

20+ Keto Dinner Recipes

If you’re unfamiliar with the ketogenic diet, basically it means really low-carb. It is sometimes also referred to as LCHF or the low-carb, high-fat diet.

It differs from person to person as to what the threshold is, but we’re talking BELOW 30 grams per day, if not less. This doesn’t mean an all-meat diet; in fact, the major focus is on fat consumption which is what you want!

After all, too much protein can be a bad thing. Finally, it doesn’t mean eliminating all veggies. It will simply emphasize leafy greens and cruciferous veggies which are high in fibre and low in net carbs.

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s get into some healthy keto dinner recipes that are low in carbs and high in satisfactory, rich, and high-fat flavour.

Poultry recipes

Chicken enchilada casserole from 730 Sage Street

keto-dinner-recipes-1

Enchiladas are a no-go on the keto diet, but that’s why we turn things into casseroles… right? The thing is, it’s an easy format to build upon with meat, cheese and veggies.

Plus, it’s a fantastic dish to meal prep and dig into later in the week. Casseroles tend to get better overnight when the flavors have time to meld, after all. This is all your buffalo chicken dreams including a healthy dose of queso fresco.

Asparagus stuffed chicken Parmesan from My Food Story

keto-dinner-recipes-7

This is a full meal that your entire family will love. Whether you’ve got Italian roots or not, there’s no denying that chicken Parmesan is a classic, well-loved meal.

There’s just so much to look forward to in each bite from the tender, roasted asparagus and luscious sour cream wrapped inside of the chicken to the ooey, gooey cheese that covers them… you won’t even miss the breading in this baked, low-carb rendition.

Caprese hasselback chicken from Low Carb Maven

keto-dinner-recipes-20

Caprese salad is fun and all, but why not make it a little more exciting? Hasselback is usually reserved for potatoes, but medium-large chicken breasts will work quite well on the keto diet instead.

These guys are stuffed to the brim with mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, fresh basil and a balsamic drizzle. You could serve it over more greens if you like.

Deconstructed pizza casserole from Kalyn’s Kitchen

keto-dinner-recipes-8

There will be no ordering pizza on the keto diet unless you pull off the toppings and ditch the crust. In that case, you might as well put a little effort into making this casserole.

It’s got all the toppings you love like Italian turkey sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, fresh tomatoes and mozzarella all baked together for awesomeness beyond compare in any bite. Get you pizza pie fix the low-carb way.

Zucchini pasta with chicken & pistachios from Happy Body Formula

keto-dinner-recipes-21

This recipe is the perfect light summertime “pasta” dish with a vibrant and zesty zoodle base. It’s a colourful dish with sliced, grilled chicken on top and a crunchy pistachio garnish.

It’s all finished off with a bit of fresh lemon, mint, and scallions so the flavour is all there with a rather simple list of ingredients.

Beef recipes

Cabbage lasagna from Low Carb Yum

keto-dinner-recipes-2

Perhaps the most important part of transitioning to the keto diet is finding out inventive ways to replace noodles. We’ve got options here, and you’ll see more where that came from.

This lasagna ditches pasta for cabbage instead, bringing in some leafy green fibre. Layer it up with ricotta, beef, and more cheese, and you’ll want to dig into this one all week. Plus, who can complain about a one-dish meal?

Zucchini nachos from The Healthful Pursuit

keto-dinner-recipes-3

Who said you can’t have nachos on the keto diet? When you utilise zucchini – undeniably, one of the most versatile veggies – you can have your loaded nacho plate and eat it too. Perhaps the best party of this dish though are the toppings which would be delicious on just about everything.

The cherry on top is DEFINITELY the MCT guacamole, using MCT oil or medium-chain triglyceride oil (it’s good for ya, trust us) to boost the nutrition and especially the healthy fats.

Swiss chard stuffed steak with feta & walnuts from Low Carb Maven

keto-dinner-recipes-9

We love a complete meal, especially when it looks this pretty! Flank steak is really economical which is a great budget tip as keto can get really expensive with all the meat, quality fats and exotic cheeses if you’re livin’ it up over there.

Plus, we have a good dose of greens, walnuts – one of the healthiest nuts for you – and a tangy dose of creamy feta to boost fats and flavor.

Steak kebabs chimichurri sauce from Skinnytaste

keto-dinner-recipes-10

Grilling season is perfect for keto’ers. You can grab some meat and some low-carb veggies and go to town. BBQ parties and cooking out is no threat to keeping things low-carb for the savvy “dieter” with kebabs like this one, loaded with color, flavor and nutrients.

Plus, you’ll impress everyone with a solid chimichurri recipe that has “put it on everything” potential.

Keto Reuben Stromboli from All Day I Dream About Food

keto-dinner-recipes-12

Perhaps you like your beef of the corned variety. If so, this one is for you. While your local deli is probably dishing out those dreamy Reuben sandwiches you can’t indulge in, you can create your own magic.

This recipe includes a cheesy keto dough that you can use for countless recipes when you need your “bread” fix. It’s loaded with the usual fixings including the beef, Swiss cheese, kraut, and a sugar-free Russian dressing.

Spinach & tomato meatza from Low Carb Yum

keto-dinner-recipes-13

Pizza is kind of a hot topic on keto. From pizza casserole to low-carb crusts, it’s not too hard to make it happen. Of all the options, though, meatza has something going for it. It doesn’t involve concocting a low-carb crust; instead the meat is the crust.

Yes – this is our idea of eating healthy, and we kind of like it compared to run of the mill chicken and broccoli. This is topped with cheese, tomato, and spinach, but we encourage you to get creative.

Bacon cheeseburger casserole from Buns In My Oven

keto-dinner-recipes-17

Once again, it goes without saying that you could easily construct a good cheeseburger without the bun on the keto diet. On the other hand, you could turn it into a casserole instead.

With easy slicing ability, this one-pan dish will serve up delicious leftovers all week. Plus, it’s totally kid-friendly and you could even toss some in the freezer for easy reheating later in the month.


If you’re new to keto and low-carb eating, we highly recommend this 30-day program run by our favourite keto expert and author Leanne Vogel.

Her book The Keto Diet is also fantastic, but if you want a more structured approach with meal plans, shopping list, community support and so on, than this might be for you.


Seafood recipes

Spiced Mexican tuna steak, peppers and avocado salsa from Eat Drink Paleo

keto-dinner-recipes-4

Sometimes, you need to switch up your steak. This tuna dish is perfect for that! With a bit of Mexican flair, the spice in the sear is just perfect.

Plus, it’s loaded with a boost of naturally sweet red peppers and a gorgeously creamy, high-fat avocado salsa. This is a simple 30-minute meal you can easily pull together on a weeknight.

Low-carb fettuccine Alfredo from Keto Connect

keto-dinner-recipes-6

While Alfredo is seldom seen as a healthy dish, people usually knock on the high-fat sauce. We’re knocking on the pasta here instead, because we’re down to dig into some heavy cream and butter in this gorgeous “pasta” dish.

Instead of wheat, it uses Shirataki noodles – a keto must if you’re missing spaghetti, fettuccine, or rice. This dish is topped with blackened shrimp. Add some spinach or broccoli for some greenery if you’d like.

Keto poke with ahi tuna & citrus from Perfect Keto

keto-dinner-recipes-8

Poke is generally pretty keto-friendly if you take out all the rice and eliminate sweetener from the sauce or marinade you use… and thank goodness because it’s so darn good!

It can easily be ordered out, too, with modifications. Alternatively, you can make it at home with this awesome recipe including creamy avocado, sesame seeds, coconut aminos and sesame oil for the sauce so it’s paleo-friendly, and fun additions of pili nuts and grapefruit for some unique flavor and texture in the mix!

Shrimp & bacon skillet from The Nourished Caveman

keto-dinner-recipes-16

This one is a tripple whammy with shrimp, bacon, and smoked salmon. We’ve got plenty of healthy protein mixed with healthy fats here. Plus, it’s a skillet meal for ultimate ease. Save this recipe for quick weeknight keto inspiration.

Scallops with creamed spinach & chorizo from Keto Diet App

keto-dinner-recipes-14

If you want to get fancy, this is your dish. Scallops are a fantastic choice for protein while chorizo brings in a punch of flavour that can’t be beat while giving the dish a little substance with – you guessed it – fat!

The creamed spinach is the perfect bed to serve this hearty recipe on. If you’re cooking keto for a crowd, consider whipping up this one.

Salmon with bacon tomato vodka cream sauce from Low Carb Maven

keto-dinner-recipes-19

Tomato vodka cream sauce is rich and delicious, but too often, it’s reserved only for big plates of pasta! Instead, top off a gorgeous piece of wild-caught salmon with the stuff and you’ve just made it keto.

You could also serve it with some spiralized zucchini on the side to get your veggie and pasta fix. This meal is decadent and it’s ideal to make for a special occasion or guests.

Pork recipes

Egg roll in a bowl from Peace, Low and Low Carb

keto-dinner-recipes-5

Can you tell that the trick to making keto delicious is removing ‘x item’ and instead placing the contents of the shell, the roll, the wrap or the bread into a bowl? It’s kind of brilliant.

Egg rolls are deep-fried awesomeness, but they’re also loaded with carbs and refined oils. This bowl’s got none of that yet ALL the flavor you’re after with a vibrant boost of veggies, tasty ground pork, coconut aminos so it’s soy-free, and a garnish of sesame seeds.

Low-carb Zuppa Toscana from Gal on a Mission

keto-dinner-recipes-11

A great trick to staying on track with keto is to take advantage of hands-off cooking. This slow cooker recipe offers you the freedom to set it and forget it.

You can come home to homemade Zuppa Toscana that would give Olive Garden a run for their money, and those endless bread sticks won’t tempt you while you wait for the main course.

Besides, this dish is hearty enough on its own, packed with a creamy broth base, sausage and vitamin-rich kale.

Spaghetti squash Au gratin from Peace, Love, and Low Carb

keto-dinner-recipes-15

This Au gratin skips out on high-carb potatoes for low-carb spaghetti squash which holds all those ingredients together while offering a fibre boost – something you should keep in mind while following a keto diet.

Oh, and did I mention there’s bacon? You may have been wondering where the pork is. Bacon and cheese are the dynamic duo when it comes to cutting carbs. Embrace it and eat it. Eat it often.

Bacon-wrapped stuffed pork tenderloin from Ruled

keto-dinner-recipes-18

You know we couldn’t leave this recipe roundup without something wrapped in bacon! This pork tenderloin is first stuffed with cream cheese, spinach, onion, and garlic for a creamy mixture you’ll look forward to with each bite.

Finally, it’s cooked with a generous nest of bacon on the outside which packs in the tender juiciness in the pork itself plus that crispy, fatty outside that tastes like everything good about keto.

Hopefully, you’ve found some recipes here you can look forward to making for dinners throughout the week. We’re here to help make healthy living and the keto diet easy for you! Share this recipe with your low-carb friends!
