Pizza Grilled Cheese
Do you have a kiddo that just loves pizza a bit too much? I know my kids would be on cloud nine if I let them eat pizza every day!
This recipe lets them enjoy the flavor of pizza without all the calories and carbs – and you can eat them with your kiddos!
This idea is a fun and low-carb way to eat pizza! Finally, enjoy the entire snack with your kids instead of just picking the toppings off the crust and eating that.
Grilled Cheese Ideas
There are lots of ways that you can make a low-carb grilled cheese, this just happens to be one of my kids’ favorites.
I’ve also made keto grilled cheese with homemade low-carb bread made with both almond and coconut flour. It’s super easy because you make the bread in the microwave as a mug cake!
Other people have made grilled cheese out of chaffles. In fact, Low Carb Yum made a cauliflower chaffle into a grilled cheese.
Healthy Keto Sandwich
This sandwich is really high in protein and low in carbs. Almond flour is an excellent source of healthy fats from the nuts.
Always use butter, it’s much healthier for you than margarine. The pepperoni has a fantastic flavor and lots of muscle-building protein.
This is a fat-burning sandwich that tastes like you are cheating.
Quick Keto Lunch
This ket0-friendly bread only takes 90 seconds to make in the microwave. Then, add the filling and grill it! The result is a really fast lunch that doesn’t take much longer than typical grilled cheese.
Eat this with a chopped salad or a few raw veggies and your favorite sugar-free dip.
This is the perfect kid-friendly snack, lunch, or even dinner. If you want to serve it for dinner, eat your favorite low carb soup with it.
You can also serve a sugar-free marinara sauce for dipping.
Pizza Grilled Cheese
There are lots of ways that you can customize this fun sandwich too. Just change the cheese and you have a completely different sandwich. Try it with yellow cheese, pepper jack cheese, or even swiss cheese.
You can also use different meats on it instead of pepperoni. Try some thin-sliced salami or bacon.
