When creating this delicious healthy dip, fresh ingredients are crucial to its taste and quality. Furthermore, good-quality olive oil should also be utilized – try searching out more expensive brands as this tends to provide higher-grade varieties with more distinct flavors than cheaper brands.
When buying eggplants, look for those with firm skin and that feel heavy for their size – these tend to be fresher and more flavorful! Additionally, be wary of any soft spots or discolorations on their surface that could indicate freshness.

If you want to cut back on fat in this meal, switch out turkey breast for pork rinds; it is leaner and has less calories. Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli or shiitake mushrooms provide additional crunch when eaten together with turkey meat. They’re packed with cancer-fighting nutrients! For this recipe, I suggest pulsing the breading ingredients in a food processor until uniformly small pieces of coconut and cashew come out that can stick better to chicken while cooking more evenly. If you prefer baking rather than frying chicken, simply preheat your oven to 400F and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray before placing breaded chicken pieces onto it. Bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes, or until its internal temperature reaches 165F.
Low Carb Snacks
As part of the Keto diet, it’s essential that you eat a variety of food to provide yourself with enough protein and healthy fats – this includes meats like tuna and salmon as well as low-carb veggies like spinach, broccoli, and cauliflower; along with nuts, avocados and olive oil as sources of healthy fats.

Keto Cinnamon Bombs
This keto fat bomb recipe makes for an easy, delicious breakfast option that will keep you full until lunch. These sweet treats can also be taken on-the-go as snacks or dessert. However, keep in mind that these treats contain many calories and carbs; therefore it may be wise to limit how often you indulge!
For this delicious treat, all it requires are four ingredients. These include grass-fed butter, crunchy almond butter, vanilla extract and ground cinnamon and ginger powder – these spices offer many health benefits including antifungal and antibacterial effects as well as being packed full of antioxidants and phenolic acids such as cinnamaldehyde and cinnamic acid – great for metabolism!
Once you have all the ingredients together, combine everything in a blender until the mixture becomes a creamy mass with no chunks of nuts or butter remaining, creating the creamy texture necessary for fat bombs. Next use silicone molds or candy trays to shape it into desired shapes before eating immediately or placing in an airtight container in the fridge for future consumption.
