Easy Healthy Keto Side Dish
I’ve been having a hard time getting creative with my low-carb diet lately. To break out of this rut, I’ve started adding different Keto friendly sides like this low-carb asparagus almondine recipe. The delicious combo of lemon and almonds makes this a perfect match to just about any keto recipe! Serve with fish, or with cauliflowered rice!
I haven’t been very diligent with exercising (it’s actually been pretty non-existent lately) and I’ve been a little too lenient with carbs, but I’m still enjoying the added energy that comes with eating the lazy keto/low carb way. I’m looking forward to getting back to focusing on the Keto diet and introducing intermittent fasting after Thanksgiving.
