The
social misconception that you will starve while dieting can be replaced by
careful nutrition in the ketogenic diet. Therefore, when you follow the ketogenic diet as long as you care for
what you eat, no problems occur.
It is known
that many snacks are specific to the ketogenic diet. Thus, we have compiled
some of these recipes that you can consume during the ketogenic diet for you.
Muffins
with Eggs
Muffins
with eggs are wonderful, ketogenic diet-friendly snacks that are easy to
prepare and are fully customizable. This snack should easily find its place in
the ketogenic diet lists. Moreover, to get started all you need is a dozen
eggs, a standard 12-piece muffin pan, a mixing bowl, and an oven.
To bake
muffins with eggs for your ketogenic diet, you need to crack the eggs in a
bowl, adding a little salt and pepper. The egg mixture should be evenly
distributed over the muffin pan. It is necessary to add your preferred low-carb
ingredients, such as spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, or cheese. Then bake at
180°C for about 15-20 minutes.
The
nutritional values of the cake vary depending on what you add to your recipe.
But a basic version of a muffin with eggs will likely contain about 90
calories, 6 grams of protein, and 5 grams of fat.
Store
the remaining muffins with eggs in the refrigerator so that you can easily take
a pair of cakes with you when you wish or freeze them for a snack later.
Caprese
Salad Skewers
Caprese
salad is a classic Italian favorite. It is a great ketogenic snack to bring
skewers together with suitable ingredients.
It is
also quite easy to prepare if you wish to add it to your ketogenic diet list.
The preparation is as easy as attaching pieces of fresh mozzarella cheese,
basil leaves, and cherry tomatoes to skewers.
You can
mix a little balsamic vinegar and olive oil to add to the salad.
One 15.2
cm Caprese-salad skewer provides an average of 80 calories, 6 grams of protein,
and 5 grams of fat. However, the sauce is not included in these proportions.
Caesar
Salad Bites
If
you're a Caesar salad fan, you'll love these mini ketogenic-friendly Caesar
salad bites. You can use lettuce if you want to go classic, but the Caesar
salad with greens like kale are also a good option if you do not plan to eat
the bites immediately. You can prepare the bites in a pan covered in a waxed
paper by having pre-heated tablespoon-sized portions of Parmesan cheese and
keeping the salad in separate small bowls. Cook until the cheese melts and
starts to toast.
It is
necessary to allow the portions of melted cheese to cool slightly and to
slightly press the cheese into the shape of the muffin containers. After you
allowed them to cool completely, you will have small, crispy, and edible bowls.
Mix the
greens with your favorite sauce and do not forget to divide it into each bowl
of Parmesan. Do not forget that instead of croutons, you can add more crunch
with shelled pumpkin seeds or pistachios. For more protein, you can add chopped
chicken or smoked salmon.
Avocado-Egg
Salad
Avocados
are full of healthy fats, fibers, vitamins, minerals, and anti-inflammatory
compounds. Some studies even suggest that they can provide healthy aging.
Using
avocado instead of mayonnaise in traditional egg salads is a great way to
increase the nutritional content of this classic dish while keeping the snack
in line with your ketogenic diet list.
You can
serve it with chopped hard-boiled eggs, avocado mash, chopped red onion, slices
of lettuce with a little salt and pepper, celery stick or thick cucumber, and
slices of radish.
