5 Ways to Make Your Keto Holidays That Much Easier
Are you finding yourself googling “keto holiday recipes”? How about “low carb dishes”? Or even “what to eat during the holidays while keto”.
We’ve been there too. That’s why we’ve put together some of the easiest tips and tricks to be able to stay on a keto diet while celebrating the holidays and spending time with friends and family. You won’t even feel like you’re missing out!
1) It’s all about the sides and appetizers
The showstoppers of holiday dinners are always the sides. Always. And, if a dish isn’t already keto (lots of the veggies and salads are), it’s easy to make small substitutions. Think replacing or removing the bread in stuffing, and all of a sudden it’s low carb.
2) Cheese is key
If you’re even the least bit familiar with a keto diet, you already know that cheese is a staple. This is no different around the holidays. Add some to each dish, have it on its own, or pair it with a nice glass of red wine.
3) Replace potatoes with cauliflower
Here’s a secret: Add enough butter and cheese to cauliflower, you won’t even miss the mashed or sweet potatoes.
4) You’re still allowed to have meats
Yes, holiday meats are definitely keto friendly! Enjoy as much of them as you want, you won’t have to worry about these.
5) Bring your own snacks
With enough tasty snacks to fill you up during the day, you won’t be as ravenous or feel as though you’re missing out on anything come the big feast.
