I’m sure a lot of you ladies have heard of the keto diet before. Today, we offer you 3 awesome keto snacks recipes that are easy to prepare and taste good!
This low-carb diet is quickly becoming very popular because of its many health benefits, especially the fact that it can have you shed the pounds just in time for bikini season! But the one problem I faced was having trouble with what to make keto snacks and meals.
You can’t always live on bacon and steak every day, it’s best to have some varieties in your meal plan as well!
So if you’re having trouble creating an effective meal plan for losing weight or gaining muscle during this low-carb diet, here are my three favorite recipes of keto snacks I love doing that are high in fat but very minimal on carbs. You’ll be surprised as to how delicious they are without any sugar.
A huge plus is that these keto snacks are loaded with a ton of vitamins and nutrients as well!
1. Cheddar Egg Cups
There is a perfect breakfast recipe because it’s extremely easy to make and suitable for those who are always on-the-go. They are low in calories and have a nice, savory flavor to it. I recommend pairing it with yummy kale or spinach!
Ingredients:
- 12 large eggs
- Six slices of bacon
- Three ounces of shredded cheddar cheese
Steps:
- Cook the bacon in the oven, allowing it to bake for about half an hour at 350 degrees. While the bacon is cooking and cooling, prepare the eggs and place single eggs on a muffin tin cups.
- Chop the bacon into quarters, adding half a strip of bacon to every egg cup. Add a quarter ounce of cheese to every egg cup as well.
- Whisk the eggs and ingredients lightly until everything is well-incorporated. Bake for half an hour at 350 degrees. Allow them to cool for about ten minutes before taking it out of the muffin tins. Serve and enjoy alone or with a plate of vegetables beside it.
2. Avocado Cheese Dip
Avocados are known to be a healthy choice for keto dieters because of its high amount of fat and vitamins. And plus, who doesn’t love avocados? This avocado cheese dip is a perfect appetizer or snack to have when feeling a bit hungry.
Have it with pork rinds or vegetables and have a filling keto snack!
Ingredients:
- Two large avocados
- Ten ounces of Monterey Jack cheese
- 16 ounces of cream cheese
- Half a tablespoon of garlic, minced
- One teaspoon of onion powder
Steps:
- Prepare your ingredients. Remove the skin and seed from your avocados, shred your Monterey Jack cheese, and open the cream cheese. Place it all in your food processor.
- Process everything until it is well-combined and creamy. This may take a minute or two. Stop the processor and mix it manually, adding the garlic and onion powder. Mix it with the food processor again until it’s well combined.
- Take the dip out of the food processor and into a bowl. You can serve immediately with pork rinds or vegetables, or you can place it in the fridge for future consumption. Enjoy!
3. Cauliflower Crust Calzone
I know a lot of you miss your carbs, especially a good calzone, which is like a pizza! Well, you won’t need to only dream about a good calzone, because with the help of our keto-friendly cauliflower, we will be able to create a good base for a filling calzone to enjoy!
Ingredients:
Crust:
- One small head of cauliflower, cut into small florets (around three cups after processed)
- Half a cup of shredded mozzarella cheese (1.7 ounces)
- One egg, lightly beaten
- Half a teaspoon of sea salt
- Half a teaspoon of oregano
- A quarter teaspoon of ground black pepper
Filling:
- Six tablespoons of thick tomato sauce
- Half a cup of shredded mozzarella cheese (1.7 ounces)
- Salt
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 220 degrees C and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, greased with olive oil.
- Process the cauliflower until it’s evenly chipped. Place it in a microwavable dish and microwave it on high for eight minutes. Place the cauliflower in a tea towel after. Wring until you remove all the moisture you could, about one cup of liquid.
- Place the cauliflower in a bowl, adding the egg, mozzarella, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix it all well.
- Press your mixture on the baking sheet, letting it shape to three discs that have a diameter of five minutes. Bake it for ten minutes.
- Top all the half of the discs with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Use a spatula to fold one-half of the discs on the other half. Push the edges of the calzone together, sealing the filling. Bake for another 12 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
