Keto-Friendly Taco Seasoning

Tacos are one of our family’s all-time favorite meals. These days we opt for a lower-carb, Keto-friendly version in the form of Taco Bowls. I’ve never been a fan of taco seasoning packets - they’re too salty and often contain hidden carbs that just aren’t necessary, so I like to make my own. Here’s a simple low-carb version you can mix up in a matter of minutes.

Keto Green Smoothie Surprise

Here’s a recipe for an awesome spinach smoothie with a sweet surprise - strawberries! The berries totally transform the flavor from “green” to “GREAT”! And with only 3 net carbs per serving, everyone loves this recipe, especially those on a low-carb or keto diet. Here’s how simple it is to make.

Start with really good strawberries. If you can’t find sweet, ripe strawberries, pick up a bag frozen berries from the grocery store. They’re picked and frozen at their peek - just let them thaw a bit before using.

Place the strawberries and fresh spinach in a personal blender (or large blender if you’re making a large quantity).

Add unsweetened almond milk and heavy cream.

Blitz until smooth and enjoy!
