Embracing the ketogenic diet means adjusting your intake to have up to 90% of daily calories come from fat. The objective is to train your body to utilize fat as an energy source rather than carbohydrates. When it comes to Thanksgiving, many traditional dishes tend to be carb-heavy. However, this doesn’t mean that you have to miss out on a delightful and mouthwatering holiday feast while staying true to your dietary preferences. With that in mind, here are 15 keto-friendly foods that you can enjoy this Thanksgiving.
Creating a Charcuterie Board
A charcuterie board is an appetizing arrangement of various snacks including meats, cheeses, dips, fruits, vegetables, nuts, olives, pickles, and crackers. Some brands even offer specialty keto crackers, cheese crisps, and chips to cater to specific dietary preferences. The versatility of a charcuterie board allows it to accommodate different dietary needs and cater to everyone’s favorites.
Deliciously Spiced Deviled Eggs
Deviled eggs are a delightful and savory appetizer that features hard-boiled egg whites filled with a creamy and flavorful mixture made from the yolks. This classic dish can be easily adapted to suit a keto diet by incorporating low-carb ingredients such as mayonnaise, mashed avocado, extra mustard, sour cream, or cream cheese. To add a touch of festivity, consider garnishing your deviled eggs with crispy bacon bits, minced green onions, or fragrant fresh herbs.
