Eating Keto During The Holidays

The stereotype is the holidays are always a nightmare for anyone on a diet. With the Keto diet, many holiday-themed foods fit right in! This also includes comfort food or nostalgic foods. Why? Many holiday dishes are high in fats and feature protein. The side dishes that are higher in carbs are almost always optional! That’s why this romano creamed spinach recipe fits right in. You can easily sub in holiday side dishes with Keto recipes and still enjoy your favorite family meals.

There’s Room To Get Creative

This Keto side dish recipe is so simple, there’s plenty of room to improvise or play around with new flavors. If you don’t have romano cheese on hand, regular parmesan works absolutely fine. This is one of those recipes where it actually makes sense to use “the good cheese”, so have fun picking your favorite hard cheese at the grocery store to add richness in flavor! You may not want to add too many additional spices to this dish so the cheese flavor isn’t overpowered, but a pinch of crushed red pepper or a dried herb can add new depth. If you don’t want to eat the creamed spinach alone as a side, try using it as a snack! Make one of Carb Manager’s cracker or chip recipes to dip into the creamed spinach as an appetizer.
