Finding healthful keto-friendly foods can be difficult, whether you are new to keto or a seasoned low-carber. Here are our top 5 keto items to add to your diet.
1. Salmon
Salmon, whether wild or farmed, is high in fat, making it an essential ketogenic diet component. Wild salmon is abundant in protein and omega-3 fatty acids. It’s also high in vitamin B12, potassium, iron, and vitamin D.
2. Cauliflower
If you’re new to the low-carb lifestyle, you should try cauliflower. It’s a versatile ingredient that may be mashed in place of potatoes, combined into Cauliflower Rice, or used to make pizza crust. It is higher in nutritional fibre, B vitamins, and phytonutrients than broccoli and has a more neutral flavour.
3. Eggs
This low-cost protein and fat source is quite versatile. Look up classic recipes like egg cups, quiche, egg salad, frittata, or a hard-boiled egg on the internet. This nutritious keto diet is also high in selenium, choline, phosphorus, and vitamin B 12.
4. Avacado
Avocados play an important role in the keto diet. They include monounsaturated fats and lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health. One gramme of net carb is contained in one half of a hass avocado. Avocados can be blended into smoothies, sliced on top of salads, or mashed into guacamole.
5. Olive Oil
If you’re on a high-fat diet, such as keto, you’ll want to stock up on extra virgin olive oil. It is high in antioxidants and high in monounsaturated fats. Use as an ingredient in a keto sauce (like Keto Grilled Chicken with Avocado Pesto) or homemade salad dressing, or to up the fat content of a nutritious vegetable dish like these roasted Tangy Brussels Sprouts.
