Keto Summer Recipes for Cookouts, BBQs, and More!
It’s officially summer! The temperatures are rising, beaches and parks are starting to fill up, and the kids are out of school (well, virtual school for most!). You’ve been working all year on that beach body (although to be clear, all bodies are beach bodies) and now it’s time to celebrate the start of summer with a cookout, BBQ, or bonfire in the great outdoors. Being keto at events like these can be tough because chances are, your friends and family might not eat as low-carb as you do. We’re here for the rescue though! Here are 10 delicious keto recipes perfect for summer and you can take them to that family outing without anyone knowing they are low-carb!
1) Keto BBQ Bacon Chicken Skewers with Cauli-faux-tato Salad

2) Juicy Grilled Keto Firecracker Shrimp
Firecracker shrimp is perfect for summer BBQs, dinner parties, and everything in between. Unfortunately, most are breaded before they are fried, adding unnecessary carbohydrates.
