Hey, dear friends! Today I have for you a set of recipes for delicious Christmas dishes, or keto recipes for traditional treats. Christmas on a keto diet can be a challenge, but there are many delicious options that can be prepared according to the principles of a ketogenic or low-carbohydrate diet.
Remember that the key is to avoid high-carbohydrate ingredients such as sugar, flour, potatoes and other carbohydrate-rich foods like heavy cakes, dumplings and salads. You can also experiment with alternatives to traditional ingredients for holiday dishes, such as almond or coconut flour instead of wheat flour, butter instead of oil, erythritol instead of honey, or homemade, healthy mayonnaise instead of the one from the store.
