Let’s be honest. One of the hardest parts of dieting is missing out on your favourite foods: snacks, desserts, and so on. It can make someone want to quit their diet, or at a minimum, they might cheat and springboard back on the weight. Hence why 65% of people who successfully complete a diet gain all of their weight back.1

But, there is a fix. You simply have to learn how to cook delicious healthy keto- friendly meals. In this article, I’m going to teach you how to cook for every meal of the day. They taste so good you won’t believe they’re keto!

You wake up, stretch, and head to the kitchen. What’s to eat? While before keto people might eat buttered toast, bacon, and eggs, things are different now. You need to watch your carbs. Just like the amazing meals found in apps like the Ultimate Keto recipe and meal plan software, here’s a tasty blueberry pancake recipe.

Ingredients: 4 eggs, 7 oz. of cottage cheese, 1 tbsp of ground psyllium husk powder, 2 oz. of butter or coconut oil, 2 oz. of fresh berries, 1 cup of heavy whipping cream.

Instructions

1. Add the eggs, psyllium husk, and cottage cheese to a mediumsized bowl and stir together. Let the mixture sit for five to ten minutes to thicken.

2. Heat up oil or butter in a non-stick pan. Fry the pancake mixture on low- medium heat for three to four minutes. Each side should be golden brown.

3. Whip cream in a separate bowl until there are soft peaks.

4. Plate the pancakes with whipped cream and berries on top.

5. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the broccoli until soft. Drain and blend with parmesan cheese.

6. Serve the salmon burgers with a side of green mash. Top with salt, pepper, and lemon.

Pasta for dinner? Yep! This is a go-to for many people on the keto diet who still want to enjoy pasta while remaining in ketosis and losing weight. Note that you can still have too many carbs from low-carb meals. That’s where supplementing with a ketogenic supplement like KetosisNOW helps out so much. It helps promote blood ketones and keeps you in ketosis despite eating carbohydrates. Back to the recipe, though.

Ingredients: The pasta, 4 eggs, 6 egg yolks, ¾ cup of water, 2 tbsp of olive oil, ½ cup of ground psyllium husk powder, 4 tbsp of coconut flour, 1½ tsp of salt, Chicken and veggies, 8 oz. of bacon, 2 lbs of chicken breasts, 1 of tbsp butter, 5 oz. of sliced mushrooms, 1 sliced red bell pepper, salt and ground black pepper, Sauce, 1¼ cups of heavy whipping cream, ¾ cup of whole milk, 3 oz. of shredded parmesan cheese, 4 minced garlic cloves, 4 tbsp of green pesto, salt and ground black pepper for seasoning.

Instructions

1. Set the oven to 300°F (150°C). Whisk eggs and yolks until fluffy. Add water and olive oil.

2. Mix with dry ingredients and whisk into the egg batter. Let the mixture sit for seven minutes before stirring.

3. Spread batter onto sheets of parchment and place plastic wrap over top.

4. Remove the plastic wrap and bake for ten minutes. Let it cool and roll the pasta into logs and cut into thin strips.

5. Fry bacon until crispy in a frying pan on high heat then set aside.

6. Cut chicken breasts, season with salt and pepper, and fry over medium heat.

7. Fry peppers and mushrooms in the same frying pan until they are soft.

8. Bring cream and milk to boil in a saucepan. Star in the parmesan, garlic, and pasta. Let simmer until creamy.

9. Mix the pasta with the vegetables and pour the sauce on top. Toss and serve!
