One of the biggest complaints about keto is that meals aren’t exactly quick to prepare. Lunch can feel especially tricky. Before keto, you might have made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or grabbed a quick sub on your lunch break. Keto-friendly lunches aren’t quite so simple. But that doesn’t mean keto lunches are hard. Lunch can be as easy as grabbing last night’s leftovers or throwing together a quick salad with a can of tuna and your favorite Primal Kitchen dressing. You can even still have your favorite savory sandwiches; you just have to be more creative with the bread options. Here are some of our favorite easy keto lunch ideas and recipes to prep ahead to make low-carb lunches a breeze. Easy Keto Lunch Recipes Mini Smoked Salmon Hand Rolls These hand rolls are essentially rice-less sushi you can make at home in just a few minutes. They also make a great appetizer for your next get-together. Get the Recipe Mark’s Big-Ass Keto Salad You can’t go wrong with a big salad made with tons of greens (which have virtually no net carbs), healthy fats from avocado, nuts and seeds, and salad dressing made with olive or avocado oil. Add any protein, and voila, a complete (and completely satisfying) meal. Get the Recipe Buffalo Ranch Chicken Stuffed Peppers Creamy loaded chicken salad in bell pepper “cups” are a tantalizing low-carb alternative to a sandwich—easy to eat with your hands! Use Hot Buffalo Sauce to turn up the heat. Get the Recipe TikTok Inspired Salmon Rice Bowls Cauliflower rice, of course. This make-at-home take on a poke bowl is endlessly adaptable. Get the Recipe Keto Bread and Sandwich Recipes Garlic, Dill & Cheddar Keto Bread Many low-carb breads you find at the store contain ingredients that a Primal eater wouldn’t want to consume. (Wheat gluten and canola oil? Pass.) This savory bread contains only Primal-friendly ingredients and is worth the effort. Get the Recipe Keto Completo Hot Dogs Did the Internet ever decide whether or not a hot dog is a sandwich? Guess it is now. This recipe uses the bread recipe above to make keto-friendly hot dog buns, but you can also enjoy these loaded hot dogs without a bun. They’re great either way. Get the Recipe Philly Cheesesteak (with Optional Primal Cheddar Cheese Sauce) Serve these cheesesteaks with a lettuce wrap, on the hot dog buns from the previous recipe, or even atop a salad. Get the Recipe Keto Cubano (Cuban Sandwich) Sliders This sandwich features mouthwatering pork and ham paired with Swiss cheese, salty pickles, and mustard in a combo that’s more than the sum of its parts. It’s an ideal way to use up leftover shredded pork. Get the Recipe Collard Green Tuna Wraps This one’s for the tuna salad sandwich lovers out there. Get the Recipe Keto Lunch Meal Prep Recipes If you pack a lunch to take to work or school, you need pre-made keto lunch recipes.
