Creating Good Vegetarian Low Carb Recipes

By Jessica Tanady
Finding good vegetarian low carb recipes in a sea of recipes out there can be quite a grueling task, especially if you want to provide only the best for your family. Speaking from experience, you can always create vegetarian low carb recipes by modifying your family's favorite dishes and by being creative with what's already available in your kitchen.

It is a pleasure to introduce Tofu as an essential ingredient to keep at home and is in fact the star of my many vegetarian low carb recipes. Considered to be the darling of many vegetarians across the world, tofu can be cooked to emulate the texture and taste of meats. What's more, tofu is highly nutritious and is high in protein.

If you are not yet familiar with tofu, you might want to take small steps before fully utilizing it on your menu. Slowly introduce it to your family's menu and let them grow a sense of taste to it. What you should know, tofu can be mixed in any vegetarian low carb recipes available out there. Furthermore, due to its versatility, you can use it in many different cuisine types. You can use it in Italian dishes as well as Asian dishes.

Next in line for what I considered to be the best ingredient to use in vegetarian low carb recipes are eggs. Rich in proteins, eggs are also versatile and can be used in many different dishes. The fact that you are on a low carb diet means that you and your family might not get the amount protein that you should be getting. Hence, getting the right amount of proteins from the ingredients mentioned above are essential for you and your family.

Other vegetarian-friendly ingredients you can use are nuts and peppers. If you haven't done so, try making peanut sauce to add flavor and texture to the meals you make. The peanut sauce will go down a treat with fresh vegetable as well. As for coconut milk, it is considered to be a healthier alternative to regular milk. And for peppers, they are high in vitamins and nutrients. Peppers can provide an added zing to any meals you prepare.

Hopefully the above ingredients will help you start developing your own low carb recipes. The key is to think outside the box and don't be afraid to mix and match the ingredients, as the result might just be one extremely tasty and healthy meal.
