4. Zucchini Noodles
Pasta is an old standby that makes for comforting meals, but not always the healthiest option on a keto diet. Luckily, there are healthy alternatives that allow you to continue to enjoy pasta-inspired dishes, including zucchini noodles – also known as zoodles – created from spiralizing fresh zucchini into spaghetti-like strands that look similar to traditional pasta but boast lower calories and carbs while possessing subtle flavor profiles that pair nicely with virtually every sauce or seasoning combination.

Simply trim off each zucchini’s ends before cutting thin strips lengthwise along both sides until they resemble pasta shapes stacked atop one another. Add your favorite sauce or layer on protein like chicken, shrimp, beef, or fish for an exquisite meal!
5. Tuna Salad
Tuna salad is one of the easiest and healthiest keto lunch ideas. Canned tuna is an economical pantry staple that packs in protein to satisfy hunger. For an effortless salad experience, using mayonnaise adds richness while red onion adds sharp sweetness; then celery provides crisp crunchiness and additional texture, and last but not least dill relish adds brightness, freshness and summeriness – an indispensable combination.
This recipe also calls for adding lemon juice, which serves to both intensify flavors and neutralize acidity. Before combining all of the ingredients, ensure that all canned tuna has been thoroughly drained to prevent soggy tuna pieces; this step is especially crucial if using chunk light tuna which tends to have more water content than its regular counterpart.
Tuna salad makes an easy keto lunch that you can bring with you anywhere – it makes the perfect grab-and-go lunch option!
