Oh, no! It’s dinner time already! Sometimes in our busy lives, we just need cooking to be easy. Here are 2 ideas that are totally keto that can be prepared in no time — thus the name of “throw together keto!” These are ideas that don’t have a specific recipe and you can alter to fit your taste buds.
Throw together keto meal #1:
Thank you Shellie Gitchell for sharing this meal idea with us!
Shellie says, “Easy throw together keto meal tonight! Ground beef cooked with onions, added some Bragg’s aminos, cauliflower and zucchini and a few chunks of cream cheese. Then topped with crumbled bacon and Parmesan cheese. One pot wonderful!”
If you are really watching your macros and needing to lose weight or support healthy blood sugar go lighter on the zucchini due to the carbs or switch it out entirely for cauliflower or broccoli.
Add some avocado or a high fat keto dessert (I’m thinking some ice cream!) to top it off and you are all set for an amazing keto meal!
Throw together keto meal #2:
Thank you Susie Russel for sharing this meal idea with us!
Susie says, “Chicken simmered in heavy whipping cream and Garlic and Herb Kerrygold butter (pre-seasoned butter — what a fantastic idea!) with green beans.”
Remember to make sure you are getting enough fat per serving. As we cook in butter (or any fat) some of it is lost to the cooking process. This is why adding a pad of butter after cooking as you are sitting down to eat can be just a good idea to ensure the amount you are getting. This is especially true with meats as they tend to be very high protein.
Adding extra butter at the end to both the chicken and green bean or a heavy whipping cream sauce to the beans can bring this meal right up to the perfect keto macros.
