Low-carb meals are often synonymous with a meat-heavy diet, but they don’t have to be. The biggest issue is starchy vegetables that are high in carbs (like sweet potatoes). But there’s a whole world of vegetables, and many of them are low in carbs! Many vegetarian protein sources, such as legumes and grains, tend to be higher in carbohydrates. This can make it difficult to achieve a low-carb intake while meeting the protein requirements of a vegetarian diet. Finding the right balance between vegetarian sources of protein and low-carb ingredients requires careful meal planning, recipe modification, and creativity in combining different food groups. Let me take the confusion out of it and show you how to create satisfying and nutritious vegetarian meals that are also low in carbohydrates! Some favorite vegetables we’ll cover are:
Broccoli Bell peppers Spinach Cabbage (an underrated vegetable in my opinion) Zucchini Eggplant
If that all sounds rather complicated, I get it. But that’s exactly why I wanted to create this resource for you! We’ve compiled a list of 21 low-carb vegetarian dinner recipes that are delicious, nutritious, and easy to make. Each of these recipes contains less than 10 grams of carbs per serving.
