FAQ

How do you navigate Easter dinner with non-keto family members?

Before Easter, talk to your family about your dietary preferences. See if they would consider keto-friendly recipes for the menu. You can also offer to bring a keto Easter dish or two to share!

When you’re at the table, be mindful of dressings and condiments that may contain hidden sugars. If possible, request to have sauces served on the side so that you can control the portions.

What are the best keto-friendly side dishes for Easter?

The best keto-friendly sides are traditional Easter dishes, like spinach salad, green beans and asparagus. No one in your family will turn down a helping of cheesy cauliflower au gratin, either!

Do you have any keto dessert ideas for Easter?

It can be tempting to indulge in non-keto treats during family gatherings, but there are other options. To ensure you can stick to your keto diet, bring a keto-friendly dessert, like chocolate fudge (1g carbs per serving) or almond butter cookies (7g carbs per serving).
