Dieting is hard. It often means a complete lifestyle change and it’s easy to get fed up. Just thinking of recipes to make for dinner is difficult and if they taste good, well, that’s an added bonus. It even means we have to spend longer in the kitchen, so we know exactly what ingredients we are going to be consuming. And don’t even get us started on junk food.

Oh those pesky cravings.

But here at The Keto Cookbook, we want to take away that pain. Because we have the easiest keto pizza recipe ever, that is going to blow your mind. Yes, you read that right. You can have pizza that’s easy to make! Even when you’re dieting!

The base of this pizza is made from mozzarella. Sound a little crazy? Well often crazy leads to genius. Taking mozzarella and heating it in a non stick pan, results in a crispy piece of deliciousness that is then perfect for throwing on a load of toppings. It also means you’re not missing out on cheese altogether and you get that all important protein which will stop you from feeling hungry.

For pizza sauce, we’ve used Casa Visco Italian Style Pizza Sauce which is incredibly tasty. But if there’s another type you prefer, go for that. Buying sauce saves a lot of time, but be careful not to purchase one that is full of sugar. These types of sauces are full of the stuff and we don’t want all your hard work to go to waste.

Finally, top with anything you like. Veggies, different meats, extra cheese … the list is endless! We’ve added pepperoni, which has to be the ultimate keto pizza topping.

So, what are you waiting for?!? Ditch the boring diet recipes and come to the flavorful side!

Living Without Pasta

One of the soul-destroying things about being on a keto diet, is not being able to eat pasta. But cry no more readers! Because we’ve discovered some low carb noodles to satisfy your Italian cravings! They are called house Foods Tofu Shirataki Noodles and are perfect for topping with whatever you like! Bolognese is always a good one, but here we’ve used shrimp to create the best keto shrimp and cheese pasta recipe in the entire world. On a final note, we’d also like to give a huge shout out and special thanks to Reddit user /u/InstyKim for creating this delicious recipe!

Recipe Information

This recipe is literally as easy as heating up some noodles and tossing the rest of the ingredients into a pan until they’re cooked. This makes it the perfect dish for treating yourself to on a weeknight when it’s been a long day and all you really want to do is go to bed. If you triple the quantity of the ingredients, you can even serve this as a family dish.

The flavors in this meal are incredible. To start, use some plump, juicy shrimp and season them with Old Bay Seasoning for a truly sensational flavor. Then by adding cream cheese, which goes so well with the dash of lemon juice, and nacho seasoning (we like Stonemill Nacho Cheese Popcorn Seasoning), you can mix this into the plain noodles, which will beautifully absorb all of that tasty flavor. Simple!

Nutritional Information  

For a dinner-time dish, this meal is incredibly low in calories. Each portion only contains 397 cals, which is perfect for anybody watching their weight or taking part in a calorie-controlled diet. For us keto-ers, it has a huge 17.9 grams of fat and only 4.7 grams of carbs. This even makes it perfect for anyone on a low carbohydrate diet, such as those following Atkins for example. Finally, it has a good 4.1 grams of fiber and contains a whopping 45.6 grams of protein! Now that makes it perfect for absolutely anybody!

So, it’s now time to put on your apron and start tossing that shrimp!

The Holy Grail 

Making the perfect keto friendly pizza is the ultimate dream of most of us who follow a ketogenic diet. There are a number of different recipes for keto pizza that feature almond flour or coconut flour, but this one, the best cauliflower crust keto pizza, uses (you guessed it!) cauliflower for the base. This is great because you can mix and match between the different bases, which stops you from getting bored with the same taste.

This really is a lifesaving recipe for when you are craving something naughty. I mean, that’s what Friday nights are for! Eating pizza! But because this one is so healthy, you can have pizza every day of the week if you want to! Not just on Friday! And this recipe is so good, you’ll truly begin to wonder how something so tasty can actually fit into your diet.

Recipe Information

Let’s start with the toppings. Feel free to add whatever type of toppings you want. For example, pepperoni is a popular favorite and will help add even more protein to your diet. Or if you’re vegetarian, load your pizza up with a load of non-starchy veggies for additional fiber. We, however, decided to go with one of our favorite classic combinations: feta cheese, black olives, and onion. De-lish!

Moving on to the base! It’s actually the crust that is the hero of this dish because it’s one of the hardest things to substitute from a normal pizza. But we believe if you follow the recipe correctly, you’ll have a beautiful crisp base, that is then perfect for spreading on delicious tomato or béchamel sauce.  We personally used tomato purée, which some might regard as too high carb, but is honestly essential for our palettes!

Nutritional Information

This has to be one of the healthiest mixes of Italian and American cuisine around. With only 525 calories, this is way lower than the calorie content of a traditional pizza. It also only contains 10 grams of sugar, which is mostly contained within the tomato purée, so feel free to replace this if you wish. There are 35 grams of healthy fats and the best nutrition of all is the whopping 34 grams of protein! So, it doesn’t matter if you’re craving pizza at breakfast, lunch or dinner, this tasty dish is sure to keep you going throughout the day.

Top Tips

This recipe is one of the more difficult to make from the rest on our website, so we’ve got two top tips to help you master this first time around. The main problem people have with this recipe is forgetting to drain the water out of the cauliflower. This is so important to do because otherwise your pizza base will never crisp up and will be soggy. And secondly, remember to use greaseproof baking parchment to line your baking tray! Otherwise, the cauliflower will be impossible to remove once it’s finished cooking.
