20 Kid-friendly Keto Dinners

I love the idea of a Keto diet. You get to enjoy some amazing foods, don’t have to feel hungry, and people have had amazing weight-loss results. The biggest problem I’ve had when sticking to a diet is that I need meal ideas that my family can enjoy too. Not only do I not have the time to make a second meal for my kids, I just don’t have the will power to avoid the foods I love when they are right there in front of me.

These kid-friendly Keto dinners are the perfect way to stick to a Keto diet, while making meals your whole family will love.

Cauliflower Nachos

What’s better than a huge plate of nachos. Even better? These are low-carb and packed with some great veggies and protein! Get the recipe here.

Parmesan Chicken Strips

One of the things I love most about the Keto diet is that cheese is totally approved. These Parmesan Chicken Strips look absolutely amazing and they are totally kid-friendly.

Keto Honey Mustard Chicken

One of my favorite quick weeknight meals is this low-carb Egg Roll in a Bowl recipe. You can customize it based on your kids’ preferences. This can be thrown together really quickly so it’s perfect for those nights when you want a healthy dinner but you don’t have a lot of time.

Paleo Fish Sticks

Fish sticks are the classic kid food I grew up on. My kids hate the store bought fish sticks but they love them when they are homemade. These Paleo Fish Sticks are made with a coating of ground pork rinds so they have tons of flavor and are Keto and Paleo friendly.

Rosemary-Garlic Chicken Kabobs

Low-Carb Walking Taco Bowls

These low-carb Walking Taco Bowls are the perfect way to feed a crowd and they use cheese crisps instead of taco shells to make them Keto-friendly. You could still keep a few taco shells on hands for kids who want to stick with those, but I’d opt for cheese crisps every single time.
