Quick Keto Meal Ideas for the School Holidays
School holidays are here (hello, chaos 😅), and if you're anything like me, juggling activities, trying to keep little people entertained, and staying on track with your own health goals, quick, tasty, and keto-friendly meals are a must.
Luckily, we have a bunch of favorite school-holiday lifesavers, and I had to share the love with my fellow parents. These are simple, satisfying ideas that work for you and the kiddos, PLUS minimal prep, no fuss, and totally delish.
Build-Your-Own Keto Lunchboxes
Think bento box but low-carb! Load up sections with:
- Cheese cubes or Babybel
- Cucumber spears and cherry tomatoes
- Boiled eggs
- A handful of almonds or keto trail mix
-
One of those cheeky Keto Choc Chip Cookies (you deserve it) https://ketodirect.com.au/products/low-carb-no-sugar-added-chunky-choc-chip-cookie-320g?_pos=9&_sid=8a3b1d510&_ss=r
Perfect for park days, playdates, movie marathons, or road trips.
Lazy Keto Wraps
Wrap it, roll it, done… its actually that easy.
Grab some lettuce cups or low-carb wraps and stuff them with grilled chicken, avo, cheese, and a squirt of mayo or mustard. Wrap it up and serve with veggie sticks. Done in 5, eaten in 2. The key here is to have all of this readily available in your fridge to just whip it up and go! An organised grocery shop is key!
Mini Egg Muffins (aka Mum’s Snack Hack)
Eggs, cheese, whatever’s in the fridge, whisk it all together, and pour it into muffin tins.
Bake, cool, and keep in the fridge for grab-and-go snacks. School holiday survival gold!!
10-Min Zoodle Stir-Fry
Spiralise some zucchini, toss in leftover meat or tofu, frozen stir-fry veggies, and a splash of sugar-free teriyaki or soy sauce.
Tastes like takeaway. Feels like you’ve got your life together kind of meal.
Smoothies That Save Mornings!
Blend:
-
Unsweetened almond milk
-
Handful of frozen berries
-
Spinach (promise the kids won’t taste it)
-
Scoop of keto protein powder
Add a straw, and voilà, a breakfast you can sip while breaking up an argument over the iPad.
