Meat Free Keto Diet – Tips and Meal Plan Ideas and Recipes for Low Carb & Ketogenic Diet friendly vegetarian breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.

Meat Free Keto Diet

Through my 18+ months on the Keto Diet, I’ve enjoyed a LOT of Meat Free Meals. In particular, I tend to follow Meat Free Mondays most weeks to try and balance out my week.

Through that time, I’ve acquired a number of favourite meals and methods for making it easy to follow a meat free keto diet. Which I will share with you today.

Start With Healthy Fats

A Ketogenic Diet is typically made up of a majority of healthy fats. Here’s a list of healthy fats to include in your Meat Free Keto Diet.

• Butter
• Coconut Oil
• MCT Oil
• Avocado Oil
• Avocado
• Olive Oil
• Eggs
• Nuts
• Full Fat Dairy – cream, sour cream, cheese, mascarpone

How To Get Enough Protein On A Meat Free Keto Diet

It’s really important to track to make sure you’re consuming sufficient protein, when you follow a Meat Free Keto Diet. I’ve written a separate blog post going in depth into 5 ways to increase your protein intake. (Read it here.)

But briefly – eggs, dairy, nut and seeds will form a crucial part of your diet. As will protein powder. Try and find the lowest carb protein powder, also free from as many additional chemicals, additives and artificial ingredients as possible. (I like this one.)

List of Keto Friendly Vegetables (And Fruit)

Eat a rainbow of vegetables, but be mindful of your daily carb allowance. And yes, you can have small amounts of fruit, but that’s limited to berries, lemon, avocado and tomatoes.

Here’s a list of vegetables to enjoy:

• • Spinach
  • Kale
  • Mushrooms
  • Cauliflower
  • Broccoli
  • Radishes
  • Brussels Sprouts
  • Green Beans
  • Asparagus
  • Avocado
  • Cucumber
  • Lettuce
  • Cabbage
  • Zucchini
  • Celery
  • Artichoke

Meat Free Keto Breakfast Ideas

Breakfast for me is usually eggs of some description with a serve or two of vegetables from the list above. There are so many varieties including fried, scrambled or an omelette with any combination of vegetables.

Make sure to include a healthy serve of fats or two by cooking in butter or coconut oil and then serving with avocado or sour cream on the side.

Meat Free Keto Meals

The following meals would make a great lunch, dinner or even a smaller portion could be enjoyed as a snack. I tend to intermittent fast so my lunch and dinner combine together into one second meal of the day.

Broccoli Salad

My go to veggie meal lately has been broccoli salad. (Get the recipe here.) There are only 5 ingredient (or 4 if you exclude salt), it’s easy to throw together and fills me for hours.

Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms

Using a mushroom base as a pizza and then topping it with your favourite pizza toppings makes a delicious Meat Free Keto Meal.

Broccoli Casserole

I’ve probably made this Cheesy Broccoli Casserole more than any other recipe on my blog. (Get the recipe here.) Veggie day or not, this dish is a cheesy comfort meal and I make it at least every other week.

Baked Brie

Any excuse to consume a wheel of cheese and I’m in! (Ok, full disclosure – I shared the wheel of cheese with my Husband, but I reckon I could take it on my own too!) This is such a flavourful way to enjoy brie and makes a great appetiser for a crowd. (Get the recipe here.)
