Using cucumber slices are easy, refreshing, and crunchy but if you prefer something different, try using our keto pesto crackers. And as always, if you aren’t a fan of sardines or you want to mix things up, you definitely can! Use canned tuna instead, use some chopped gherkins, or add sauerkraut for different tastes and textures.

Since these are similar to meringues, you can store in an air-tight container but they will lose crispness the longer you keep them. Make sure that you try to avoid leaving them out as they will absorb moisture from the air and can go soggy if left out too long. If they do go soggy, you can re-bake in the oven at 200F for 10 minutes to dehydrate them again.

When looking for a keto-friendly protein powder, take a look at the nutrition information. You are looking for a brand that has 1.5g or fewer carbs per scoop. My usual choice is Optimum Nutrition or Isopure, but there are lots of options available that fit this criteria. You can alternatively use collagen or plant-based protein powder if preferred.

Switch up the flavor of the protein powder to customize to your tastes! You could use chocolate flavored protein powder for a more chocolatey protein bite, or something like salted caramel flavor for a more fall-inspired treat.

Yields 3 servings of Keto Chocolate Almond Protein Balls

The Preparation

• 6 tablespoon almond butter
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil, melted
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon allulose
• 3 tablespoon almond flour
• 1 ounce vanilla protein powder*, ~1 scoop
• 1/4 cup keto chocolate chips

* If using unflavored protein powder, you may need to add an extra 1-2 tablespoons of allulose (or your preferred sweetener).

The Execution

1. Gather and prep all ingredients.

2. In a bowl, add the dry ingredients: protein powder, almond flour, and allulose. Mix well.

3. In a separate bowl, add the wet ingredients: almond butter, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract. Mix well to combine. Then mix the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring to well to combine.

4. Add the chocolate chips into the mix and knead by hand until it forms a smooth consistency like cookie dough. Scoop out dough and roll by hand to form into balls.

Note: If the mixture is too dry, you can add some unsweetened almond milk or more melted coconut oil to help. If the mixture is too wet, you can slowly add more protein powder to help the consistency.

5. Place the protein balls in the freezer for 10-15 minutes, or until firm. Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks.

They’re also great for changing up and customizing for your own tastes. You can use a flavored protein powder or use cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist (you may need to add some almond milk in to help thin the mixture). Or, sub out the peanuts on the outside for crushed pecans, walnuts, coconut flakes, chia seeds, or hemp seeds. Mix and match the different toppings to keep things interesting!

Customization is really easy with this recipe, too. Instead of the walnuts, you can use your favorite nut or nut butter – pecans or almonds work well. If using a nut butter, reduce the coconut oil by half. If you prefer a certain flavor of protein powder, you can use that (vanilla works great, or go for double chocolate)! We used Lily’s Dark Chocolate chips, but you can use any low-carb or keto-friendly brand. As always with substitutions, make sure you check the macros beforehand to make sure it fits your needs.

On our keto-based diet, we miss the classic sugar cookie—which is why we now present our Keto sugar cookie recipe. Soft, buttery and delicious, this is a classic cookie that doesn’t have to be reserved for the holiday season. We make this one all year round!

Sugar cookies themselves have a really simple flavor, which is reflected in the recipe. We like to use almond and coconut flour to create the bulk of the dough, as this provides the right texture and keeps the cookies low-carb. 

Another keto ingredient in this cookie is allulose. Allulose is a natural sugar found in figs and raisins, and it’s a fantastic low-carb alternative to sugar. If you chose to ice your cookies, then we encourage you to also use powdered allulose. Using it in powdered form prevents your icing from becoming grainy and lumpy, which nobody wants to bite into. 

The secret ingredient in this recipe is cream cheese. Using cream cheese in place of an egg makes a world of difference. The cream cheese prevents the cookies from puffing out and spreading while they bake. Furthermore, the cream cheese actually softens the cookies and ensures that they don’t dry out.

We love to decorate our cookies, especially for a special occasion. A simple allulose-based icing will allow you to let your imagination run wild and decorate your cookies in all sorts of creative ways.

Yields 16 servings of Keto Sugar Cookies

The Preparation

Cookies:

• 1 3/4 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 10 tablespoon allulose
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened + cut into pieces
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Icing:

• 1/2 cup allulose
• 1 1/2 tablespoon heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk

The Execution

1. Measure out and prepare all of the ingredients.

2. In a bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, allulose, and salt. Mix until combined well.

3. Add butter to the mixture, a few slices at a time and beat to combine. Add in the cream cheese, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Beat until the mixture becomes thick.

4. Grab the dough. Knead it with your hands. Add flour as needed to get the right consistency.

5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap in a circular shape. Place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 35 minutes.

6. Lay out parchment paper. Unwrap the plastic wrap from the dough and lay on top of the parchment paper. Lay another piece of parchment paper on top of the dough. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough. Put the rolled out dough in the freezer for 10 minutes.

7. Place parchment paper onto a cookie sheet and preheat oven to 325F.

Remove the parchment paper from the dough. Use cookie cutters to cut out cookies and place on the cookie sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.

8. To make icing, combine allulose, heavy cream, and almond milk to a bowl and combine well until desired consistency is reached. Frost the cookies. Serve and enjoy!

The foundation of this recipe is a blended mix of various nuts, seeds, and flaxseed meal, which will keep your bars from crumbling into pieces while still remaining perfectly crunchy. Not fond of flaxseed? You can swap out with equal parts chia seeds for a similar result.

Nuts are an excellent source of protein, healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals—the full package! You can use pretty much any combination of nuts in this recipe that suits your fancy, just make sure to keep to the same nut ratio and use a firm nut as a base.

Once you’ve got your blended mixture, all that’s left is to bake your bars. Here’s essential tip number two: for maximum crunchiness, make sure to score the granola (slice lightly, not all the way through) before putting it in the oven, then cut the pieces entirely and separate halfway through the bake. Leave them to cool once you pull them from the oven and you’ll have beautifully golden crisp bars!

We mustn’t forget the garnish. Sprinkle with whole seeds, and if you’re feeling especially lavish, why not drizzle your granola bars in some melted dark chocolate? Treat yourself!

Making these rollups is easy. All you need to do is make the filling containing cream cheese, red onion, capers, fresh chives, and lemon zest and mix it together. Once the mix is ready, layout thin strips of salmon (lox) onto your bench, place a spoonful of mixture onto each piece of salmon, and then roll them up. For extra zest, sprinkle on some fresh lemon juice before serving.

These salmon rollups are not only tasty but they’re also packed full of goodness. The salmon provides you with healthy omega-3 fatty acids, and the cream cheese gives you protein and important amino acids. 

While we think this recipe is great as it is, if you want to make it more of a meal than a snack, you can easily add some scrambled egg or spinach to the rollups. Either way, they’ll taste great and are sure to become one of your new go-to keto-friendly recipes.

Yields 1 serving of Keto Salmon Rollups

The Preparation

• 4 ounce smoked salmon
• 3 ounce cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives
• 1 teaspoon capers

The Execution

1. Measure out and prepare all of the ingredients.

2. Put the cream cheese into a bowl and stir with a fork to be sure it is smooth.

3. Chop the fresh chives and capers. Mix in the chopped chives, capers, and sliced red onion together with the cream cheese. Stir to combine well.

4. Dollop some of the cream cheese onto the salmon pieces and smooth out. Carefully, roll the salmon.

5. Serve and enjoy!

This dish is full of goodness. The pecans are full of protein and important vitamins and minerals like calcium, potassium, and magnesium. They are also a great source of healthy fats and fiber, which will help you stay full in between meals. The other star ingredient of this dish is cottage cheese, which is protein-rich and is also a good source of calcium. Combined, these two superfoods are a great combo to eat in the morning and will set you up for the day ahead.

To give this dish some sweetness without the need for refined sugar, add some low-carb maple syrup. You can also add a pinch of lemon zest if you want to add some citrus to the dish.
