20+ of the Best Summer Low Carb & Keto Meals

For some reason, staying healthy in the summer is harder for me than staying healthy in the winter. I just want to be out and about, enjoying the weather, and because of that, I don’t cook as much at home. I’m tempted to go out to eat, or order in – but not this year! This year I planned ahead by collecting some of my favorite low carb and keto meals that are perfect for the summer.

Simple, satisfying, and delicious! I hope you enjoy these summer low carb meals as well. If you have any that you think I should add to my list, just let me know.

Mulligatawny Soup

Normally this soup contains more celery, carrots, white rice, flour, and apples – and well, these don’t exactly qualify as low carb and keto ingredients.
