Make Your Holiday Meals Low-Carb and Keto-Friendly With These Recipes

Classic holiday dishes and low-carb eating don't really seem like they go hand in hand. And if you're on the keto diet, you can definitely find recipes high in fat – but not exactly low in carbs. That means dining during the holidays can be a challenge, making you feel like you're missing out. But staying keto doesn't mean you have to skip out on flavorful favorites or completely change your Thanksgiving menu.

We have all of the clean, low-carb recipes you're looking for (and they're pretty mouthwatering too!). Whether you're searching for a crowd-pleasing meat main, a sweet and chocolatey dessert or a cheesy stand-in for classic mashed potatoes, we have keto-conscious dishes that'll round out your holiday menu. Even your non-keto guests will rave about these recipes when they appear on your table. If you're headed to the store tonight, you can even incorporate one or two into your Thanksgiving menu!

Perfectly Decadent and Paleo-Approved Holiday Recipes

Whether you're welcoming Paleo guests on Thanksgiving or have gone Paleo yourself, it can be tough to try to include staples like potatoes, stuffing and dairy-based desserts. Instead, serve these Paleo takes on holiday favorites.

Make Your Holiday Menu Gluten-Free and Celiac-Friendly
