    Keto Friendly Budget Snack Ideas

    1. Eggs

    Hard Boil Eggs

    Eggs are brilliantly versatile and make an excellent snack. You can enjoy them hard boiled, devilled, fried, scrambled on in an omelette.

    2 Ingredient devilled eggs are really easy to make. Simply scoop the yolk out of a hard boiled egg and mash, together with sour cream, yogurt or mayo.

    Then, fill the egg white with the creamy egg yolk and enjoy. You could also top with devilled egg with salt and pepper if you like.

    2. Tuna

    Tuna Snack Wraps

    You can simply peel back a lid from a tin of tuna and enjoy! Or, move the tuna to a bowl and mix through sour cream, yogurt, mayo, cream cheese or even pesto for a keto friendly tuna mayo.

    You could also mix through hard boiled eggs for a tuna and hard boil egg salad or dip that’s high in protein.

    Another option is to fill lettuce cups with tuna for tuna salad snack bites.

    3. Cheese

    Low Carb Cheap Cheese Snack

    There are so many ways to enjoy cheese as a cheap low carb snack. You can enjoy:

    • Grated Cheese
    • Brie
    • Feta
    • Parmesan
    • Bocconcini
    • Cream Cheese

    You can even make cheese crackers by placing a tablespoon of grated cheese in a hot frying pan until it melts and then turns crisp and becomes a cracker.

    4. Seeds

    Pumpkin seeds snack

    Sunflower or pumpkin seeds are usually way cheaper than nuts to enjoy as a snack.

    Bonus snack – you could also enjoy sunflower seed butter or peanut butter by the spoon full as an cheap keto snack.

    5. Chocolate

    Low Carb Hot Chocolate Snack

    ALDI is brilliant for stocking up on keto friendly chocolate on a budget. (Here’s my full ALDI Keto Shopping List.)

    6. Frozen Berries

    Selection of berries

    You can put together a quick green salad with a selection of low carb vegetables like spinach, avocado, celery and then drizzle over extra virgin olive oil and salt.

    You can top your salad with other cheap keto snacks like berries and feta too.

    8. Avocado

    Cut open avocado

    Skip a salad and just indulge in an entire avocado. They can be budget friendly or ridiculously expensive, depending on the time of year and where you live.

    They are regularly 80 to 99 cents near me and make an easy low carb, high fat and fiber snack.

    9. Low Carb Yoghurt

    Keto Yogurt Bowl

    Plain, Natural or Greek yoghurt are the lowest carb options and make an easy, go to snack.

    Can You Have Popcorn On Keto?

    August 26, 2019 by Easy Keto Living

    Can You Have Popcorn On Keto? The best popcorn options for a low carb keto friendly diet & net carbs in popped popcorn.

    Can you have popping corn on a low carb keto diet

    Can You Have Popcorn On Keto?

    You many think if corn is off limits on a low carb keto diet, so must popcorn, right? But, is there a way you can enjoy the popular snack without blowing your desired net carbs for the day?

    Well, a typical cup of the yellow sweetcorn that you may have had before needing to monitor your carb count has slightly over 30g of carbs.

    Making sweetcorn a very high-carb food, potentially containing even more carbs than your total daily carb limit to achieve ketosis while following the ketogenic diet.

    That’s a lot of carbs. Not exactly the best way to eat for someone who is on a low-carb diet.

    And if you are like me who finds you need under 30 g of net carbs to stay in ketosis, sweetcorn’s high carb content doesn’t exactly make it the best option for keeping within your desired carb intake.

    Net Carbs in corn

    So if a cup of corn has over 30 grams of carbs, surely a cup of popcorn cant be much better as a keto-friendly snack?

    In fact yes you can, and popcorn is a great snack to have on a low-carb diet. You can have popcorn on the keto diet.

    Nutrition Facts Popcorn vs Corn

    Below are the nutrition facts of a cup pf popcorn (7.9g) without added sugars:

    • Calories 44
    • Total fat 2.7g (Saturated fat 0.6g)
    • Grams of carbohydrates 4.4g
    • Grams of fiber 0.8g
    • Sugars 0g

    If we compare the nutritional value of a cup of sweet corn (149g)

    • Calories 143
    • Total fat 2.2g (Saturated fat 0.3g)
    • Grams of total carbs 31g
    • Dietary fiber 3.6g
    • Grams of net carbs 30.5g
    • Sugars 6.6g

    How? Well first know there are six types of corn which include the one we are interested in – popcorn.

    Here are the 6 forms corn can take:

    • Popcorn
    • Dent
    • Flint
    • Pod
    • Flour
    • Sweetcorn

    When compared to sweetcorn, popcorn has a hard shell which keeps all of the moisture out. It is then dried, then the popcorn kernels are removed ready to be heated up to become popped corn.

    So named, as the remaining moisture in each kernel turns to a vapour increasing the pressure within the kernel until it ‘pops’. Each popcorn kernel can expand up to 30 times its original size becoming the delicious nutritious snack popcorn.

    The reason you can sometime be left with ‘un-popped’ corn is the moisture in those unpoppable kernels wasn’t enough to cause an expansion to pop the kernel in the first place.

    Best popcorn for low carb diet

    For us, we heat popcorn in a saucepan with coconut oil, then we add salt to taste making it ideal for a low carb diet.

    A third of a cup or 40g of corn kernels, once popped, serves our family of four two full bowls of popcorn each. So, we tend to get 8 full bowls of popcorn per whole saucepan.

    As each of the 8 portions has only 3 grams of carbs. It makes popcorn keto-friendly and one of the best keto snack foods while following a high-fat diet.

    Health benefits

    Popcorn contains a compound called polyphenols, A compound within some foods that has been suggested may reduce risk of some medical conditions such as::

    • Type 2 diabetes
    • Coronary heart disease
    • High blood pressure
    • Infectious diseases
    • Plus reduce free radicals

    In addition popcorn may help with your weight loss and improve your metabolic state. Plus, popcorn may be one of the best snacks to help fill you up so reducing the amount of carbs you might otherwise consume. A win-win.

    Other Ways To Enjoy Popcorn

    You can add olive oil, butter, or nut butter to your cups of popcorn to add extra flavor, while adding good healthy fats.

    If are worried about too much popcorn consumption you may want to add cheese. For example, grated cheddar cheese or cheese cubes which adds more fat content making popcorn even more filling.

    Store-Bought Popcorn v Homemade Popcorn

    Like all things, if you make your own popcorn you are in more control of what’s in it.

    From the number of carbs to serving size or added toppings, as long you achieve the goal of a keto diet (to stay in a state of ketosis), popcorn can be a tasty healthy snack.

    The bottom line is, as long as you don’t have over the top large quantities, and monitor your portion size, popcorn can be one of those snack options that can fill you up in-between meals, while having fewer net carbs throughout your day.

    In conclusion, to answer the question can you have popcorn on the keto diet?

    Yes, you can. But for best results you have to decide how much fits with your own personal macros.

    Happy popping!

    Low Carb Chocolate Milk Recipe

    August 20, 2019 by Easy Keto Living

    Low Carb Chocolate Milk Recipe – The Best Easy Dairy Free Keto & Vegan Friendly Chocolate Milkshake with unsweetened cocoa powder, coconut milk and stevia.

    Healthy Chocolate Milk with Coconut Milk

    This low carb chocolate milk tastes like a sweet, creamy, decadent chocolate milkshake – but without the sugars.

    I’ve been experimenting and tweaking the recipe for a couple of weeks. Trying different milks and chocolate quantities until I developed the perfect chocolate milk that I just can’t get enough of!

    How To Make Low Carb Chocolate Milk

    Making a creamy chocolate milk is really easy with just a few ingredients – coconut milk, cocoa powder and stevia.

    Coconut Milk – I use canned coconut milk – the full fat variety. I find that it’s quite rich and you only need a quarter of a cup of coconut milk and then add 3/4 cup of water for the perfect milky consistency.

    Creamy Chocolate Milkshake - Low Carb, Keto and Vegan

    If you’d prefer, you could use a whole cup from a carton of almond milk instead. (Which is mostly water – hence why water plus canned coconut milk works so well!)

    Cocoa Powder – I use unsweetened cocoa powder that’s rich and chocolatey. You could use cacao powder instead for an even more intense chocolate flavour.

    Stevia – stevia is my sweetener of choice. You can feel free to use whatever sweetener you usually use instead. I’ve suggest a half a tablespoon to a tablepoon – use as much as you like for the perfect sweetness for you.

    How to make easy keto chocolate milk

    Keto Chocolate Milk Recipe

    • 1/4 Cup Canned Coconut Milk
    • 1 Cup Water

      Keto Steak Salad Recipe

      Keto Steak Salad Recipe – Easy Low Carb Steak Salad Idea with homemade dressing and green vegetables. Quick and easy ketogenic diet meals.

      Easy low carb steak for lunch or dinner meal

      Keto Steak Salad Recipe

      Often when I fry up a steak for an indulgent meal, such as a Keto Steak Dinner, I’ll cook a second steak to turn into a keto steak salad for a later meal.

      In this instance I went for a mix of green vegetables and a quick homemade dressing to construct a tasty steak salad.

      Low Carb Steak Salad Ingredients

      Ingredients for a steak salad

      Starting with the star of the show – the steak itself. Pick whatever steak you like and cook it until it’s done to perfect.

      I usually cook mine for 4 to 5 minutes a side, depending on the size. It’s always best to allow the steak to rest for a 5 or so minutes to allow the juices to settle.

      You can then enjoy your steak in the salad, or pre make the steak, allow to to cool and then refrigerate for a couple of days until needed.

      How to make a keto diet friendly steak salad

      While the steak is resting, prepare the vegetables. Wash a few handfuls of spinach and place at the bottom of your container.

      Chop cucumber into slices and arrange on top of the spinach. Wash and tear basil leaves and scatter them around the salad.

      Then, slice the steak and place on top of all the greens. And then finally, make the homemade dressing with extra virgin olive oil, lemon and salt.

      Drizzle a few tablespoons of the dressing over your salad. You may not use it all as there’s plenty of it. So, you can save some to use on a salad later.

      Enjoy your salad straight away or store in the fridge and take to work for lunch.

      Keto Waffles Recipe

      July 27, 2019 by Easy Keto Living

      Keto Waffles Recipe – Easy Low Carb Waffle Breakfast With Coconut Flour – the best fluffly ketogenic diet friendly gluten free waffles.

      Keto waffles topped with raspberries

      Keto Waffles Recipe

      Waffles make an easy, indulgent low carb friendly breakfast. And, this Keto Waffles recipe has just 4 ingredients, is incredibly simple to prepare and tastes just like traditional waffles, but low in net carbs to help you with your health and weight loss goals.

      You can meal prep a double batch of the waffles, set aside some of the cooked waffles to cool, store in an airtight container in the fridge and then reheat through the week in a toaster oven or waffle maker when you need a speedy low carb breakfast.

      Ingredients For Low Carb Waffles

      The easy keto waffles need only 4 simple ingredients to create delicious waffles that the whole family will enjoy.

      Coconut Flour – I chose to use coconut flour as the flour substitute. You’ll find that you only need a quarter of a cup of coconut flour to create a perfect batch of 4 coconut flour waffles.

      Eggs – although there are eggs in these waffles, if you have been having eggs for breakfast every day it really feels like you’re having a egg break by having waffles.

      How to make low carb waffles with coconut flour

      Milk or Heavy Cream – depending on what you have to hand and the texture you want the waffles to be, you can use almond milk, coconut milk or cream.

      Salt – salt enhances the flavors in these waffles and is a vital ingredient. You could also add in a half a teaspoon to a teaspoon of vanilla extract as a great way to further enhance the rich vanilla flavor of the keto diet waffles.

      Waffle maker – to make the low carb waffle recipe, you’ll need a waffle maker! They are easy to find (here’s a good waffle maker on Amazon). I find that it’s an essential piece of equipment in my keto kitchen. As you’ll see – making waffles (or keto chaffles) is easy and a tasty inclusion in a low carb diet.

      Low Carb Waffle Toppings Ideas

      Here are some ideas for keto friendly toppings for your crispy waffles:

      • Whipped Cream
      • Chocolate Ganache
      • Sugar Free Syrup or Keto Maple Syrup
      • Yoghurt
      • Melted Butter
      • Cream Cheese
      • Low Carb Ice Cream (like halo top)
      • Chocolate Sauce (here’s an easy recipe)
      • Fresh Fruit – blueberries, strawberries or raspberries
      • Keto Strawberry Jam
      • Grated Chocolate

      Keto Onion Rings Recipe – Easy Low Carb, Vegetarian & Gluten Free Side Dishes with a keto diet dipping batter – great for burgers or as a keto diet appetizer.

      How to make easy keto onion rings

      Keto Onion Rings Recipe

      I’ve always loved onion rings as a side with burgers. So, I thought I’d come up with a Keto Diet friendly version to enjoy with low carb meals.

      These onion rings are really easy to prepare, include a tasty crumb coating and taste better than their carby counterparts.

      How To Make Keto Onion Rings

      Low Carb Keto Onion Rings on the Baking Tray

      First, pick the onion you’d like to use. I go for a large red or brown onion, which are keto diet friendly.

      Then get prepared to bake the onion rings by preheating the oven to 200C/400F and line a baking tray with well greased foil.

      Next, slice the onion and carefully separate each layer into onion rings.

      For the dipping batter, combine ground flaxseeds, parmesan or pecorino, ground almond, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper together in one bowl.

      In a second bowl, whisk up an egg for dipping. Then, it’s just a matter of dunking the onion first in the egg and then in the batter.

      Move the crumbed onion rings to the prepared baking tray and then bake them in the oven for 7 minutes, turn the onion rings over and cook for a further 7 to 8 minutes or until golden and crisp to your liking.

      11 Keto Tips and Tricks

      July 12, 2019 by Easy Keto Living

      11 Keto Tips and Tricks – Hacks to make it easy to strive for success on the low carb ketogenic diet. Great for beginners or long time keto followers.

      Tracking tips on Keto

      11 Keto Tips and Tricks

      Whether you’re thinking about starting the keto diet, a beginner or long time keto dieter, then here are my 11 keto tips and tricks for success for you.

      1. Keep It Simple

      Keto Tips For Success

      Seriously – if you’re starting out, just keep it simple. There’s no need to make every single keto sweet treat, pancake and bread you find on pinterest.

      Take it slow and keep it simple by picking a couple of protein and veg options, some healthy fats for cooking and serving and you’re set!

      2. Easy Substitute Ideas

      Keto hack - use cauliflower rice instead of regular rice

      There are loads of easy substitutes for old carby favourites.

      For example cauliflower is one of the most versatile low carb vegetables. You can enjoy cauliflower in place of rice, mash and even pasta.

      3. Decide How To Take Measurements

      Tracking weight and inches on keto

      Weighing yourself daily, or even weekly, can be incredibly stressful. So, really think about how often you plan to weigh yourself.

      Or, whether you’ll ditch the scale, grab a tape measure and measure your weight loss in inches rather than what the dreaded scale says.

      4. Decide Whether To Track

      Tracking tips on Keto

      You don’t have to track. Simply cook keto meals, measure whether you’re in ketosis with ketosticks and follow more of a lazy keto diet.

      I started out by tracking very roughly, simply writing down in a notebook what I was eating each day.

      Then, just googling the net carbs in each food. I quickly learned the approximate carbs in regular foods and what I needed to eat each day to roughly hit my macros.

      5. Protein Powder To Help Meet Your Macros

      Get hold of a low carb protein powder and then enjoy a scoop in a smoothie or shake (like this strawberries and cream shake) when you think you won’t meet your protein macros for the day.

      6. Fat Bombs To Help Meet Your Macros

      If it’s fat you’re craving then prepare a batch of fat bombs (like these 2 ingredient fat bombs) to snack on when you need a little help meeting your fat targets.

      7. Breakfast Can Be Anything

      Breakfast of steak and mushrooms on keto

      Ditch traditional breakfast dishes and enjoy leftovers or really whatever you feel like to start your day.

      Nothing stopping you enjoying a giant steak with some creamy mushrooms (as pictured above) for breakfast!

      8. Explore Intermittent Fasting

      Intermittent fasting on keto

      I got into the habit of intermittent fasting a few months into my keto diet journey. It meant making one meal less a day and I felt great doing it.

      9. Enjoy Budget Friendly Meals

      Keto budget friendly meal idea - chicken bake

      Keto doesn’t have to be expensive! There are loads of easy meals that are also budget friendly – roast a whole chicken, make a chicken bake, pick cheaper cuts of meat, enjoy eggs regularly.

      10. Stress Less, Move More & Get Plenty Of Sleep

      Get rest, reduce stress and move more on keto

      This is just good advice in general, but can have an impact on your weight loss efforts.

      Try and find ways to reduce your stress, get out, active and move more and make a concerted effort to go to sleep earlier. (All easier said than done, I know, but do try and address these areas for success with the keto diet.)

      11. Stay Hydrated & Manage Electrolytes

      It’s more important than ever to be sure you’re drinking plenty of water and keeping your electrolytes in check.

      Speak with your Doctor or health practitioner about appropriate supplements to help you with your electrolytes.
