The holidays can be such a stressful time with all the gifts to buy (and receive on time), decisions about who will host and who will travel, and all the other stressors that go into holiday planning. However, maintaining a healthy keto diet doesn’t have to be part of that stress this year. Here are three recipes that can satisfy cravings this holiday season.
Cauliflower Stuffing
Cauliflower Stuffing is a great way to stay aligned with the keto diet and enjoy a classic holiday meal. It’s a great way to pack all those amazing flavors you want during the holiday season. Similar to bread in usual stuffing, cauliflower soaks in all the flavors like a sponge.
Baked Fresh Ham with Herbs de Provence
Ham is a great source of protein that’s key to the keto diet. When is a better time to try Baked Fresh Ham with Herbs de Provence than during the holidays? This recipe is a great way to get the protein you need and still follow your diet during your holiday dinner.
Buffalo Shrimp Lettuce Wraps
Buffalo Shrimp Lettuce Wraps aren’t the usual holiday meal, but why can’t they be? Shrimp is another food that is high in protein but also a great source of nutrients. Creating lettuce wraps is giving your body the nutrients it needs without giving it unnecessary calories. This might not be the most common holiday meal, but it’s a great meal idea if you want something tasty and different tasting while sticking to your keto diet.
