Before I share these 25 Keto Weekend Food Prep Recipes with you, let me tell you what I mean by Weekend Food Prep. Since I’ve been on my carb-conscious eating journey, the one thing that’s helped me stay on track is cooking a couple of low-carb dishes on the weekend to have leftovers to eat during the week. My long years of teaching school got me in the habit of doing that kind of food prep cooking, and I love starting out the week with some good low-carb options in the fridge.
And I think the Keto meal prep habit makes it easier for everyone who wants to stick to a low-carb eating plan! It was a conversation with my niece Kara that made me realize that I really should have a category on the blog for weekend food prep recipes. So a few years ago I worked on tagging recipes and launched the category for Weekend Food Prep.
Now there are hundreds of recipes there that I’ve picked as being suitable for cooking on the weekend and eating leftovers in the coming week. And if you’ve never done low-carb meal prep before I hope I’ve inspired you to try it. This post has 25 favorite recipes I love to make on the weekend and eat during the week, enjoy!
