Low Carb Easter Recipes You’ll Love
Holidays can seriously sidetrack your healthy, low carb lifestyle. Sprinkled throughout the year, most of them are centered around food in one way or another. Since the foods are often traditional to your family, food that you’ve been eating since childhood, they tempt you more than usual because they are tied up with your memories. It’s almost impossible for me to resist banana pudding, for example, because it was always on the Easter table!
I love creating low carb Easter recipes to help you to stay on your keto diet while still having the foods that you crave emotionally. I’ve chosen these keto friendly, low carb recipes to mimic some of the foods that I know are popular around Easter. I’m sure you’ll find an Easter recipe you’ll love on the list.
Keto Friendly Easter Brunches
Many people start Easter off with a big family brunch. Use brunch casseroles, waffles, or other keto breakfast dish that you can make ahead and round it out with some fresh fruit and sugar free whipped cream, maybe flavored with a touch of vanilla. You can make Easter brunch mimosas with sugar free syrups in fruit flavors, champagne, and club soda. 4 ounces of champagne has just under 2 net carbs and you’ll probably only use two ounces for your mimosas. The club soda keeps the sparkle without diluting it too much.

Low Carb co*cktails and Mocktails for Easter Gatherings
Of course co*cktails and mocktails are welcome pretty much any time! Besides the mimosas I talked about above you can make nearly any co*cktail low carb. Consider setting up a staging area with club soda, sugar free syrups, and garnishes so people can make their own Italian sodas in a variety of flavors.
