6 Best low carbs recipes
- Smoked salmon, avocado, and rocket salad
For this delicious salad, you only need some rocket leaves (arugula), an avocado, half Lebanese cucumber, 3 oz of smoked salmon slices, and sesame seeds. For the dressing, use lime juice, olive oil, and salt. Preparing this salad won’t take you more than ten minutes, and you will have a nutritious and tasty meal for one person. Here is the full recipe.
- Vegan collard greens
In roughly half an hour, you can make a savory meal with collard greens and other veggies.

- Shrimp lettuce wraps with peanut sauce
These shrimp lettuce wraps are another example that low-carb doesn’t mean tasteless. The secret is the easy-to-do peanut sauce that only needs two ingredients! Cook the shrimps in the pan and chop every ingredient (cucumber, avocado, carrot, and cilantro) to fit them in the lettuce cups. Check out the detailed recipe.
These Thai Lettuce Wraps or Larb Gai are similar recipes, but with chicken or pork instead of shrimp.
- Zucchini noodles with pesto
We know that seeing noodles between low-carb meals might seem weird, but that’s the whole point of zucchini noodles—they are the low-carb alternative to pasta! To make this recipe, you only need zucchini and the right tool to turn it into noodles. This meal takes no longer than fifteen minutes, and you don’t even need to cook! Toss the noodles into pesto (check this basil pesto recipe.) Add a few cherry tomatoes, and your fresh and healthy meal is ready.
- Bunless burger
If you fancy a burger, make it low-carb! The trick is taking the buns out of your recipe and stuffing the burger with more vegetables. Burgers are flexible meals, you can fill them up with any vegetables, and you can cook them on the grill or a pan. Here is a tasty steakhouse bunless burger recipe.
- Chicken and asparagus lemon stir-fry
You will need lean chicken breast, asparagus, fresh lemon, garlic, and ginger to make this low-carb dish. Chop and season the chicken breast and throw the ingredients to stir-fry in a wok or cast-iron pan. It won’t take you more than 30 minutes! Here the full recipe.
