Looking for low carb side dishes to take to Thanksgiving or Christmas this year?

If you’re following a low carb or Keto diet, Thanksgiving can be tricky! With all of the bread and carbs, it may be hard to figure out what to eat. One of the best things to do is to come prepared! By bringing your own low carb side dishes you will be able to ensure one thing at the meal will be low carb.

Also – a Keto Thanksgiving can happen. You’ll just need to review what you can and cannot eat. As a quick reminder – here are your Keto Do’s and Dont’s.

Before you start the Keto Diet – Read this!

Low Carb Side Dishes {Brussel Sprouts with Bacon Recipe}

I used to be that person who hated, I mean HATED, Brussel Sprouts. Then I realized if you roast them with bacon they’re pretty much magical. Trust me on this one!

Note: If you want to let your hair down on this one for Thanksgiving – add a little raw maple syrup to this before you roast it. It’s divine, I promise. And Paleo-friendly, so you’re not totally throwing the healthy eating out!

One piece of advice – sometimes you just need to let your hair down. Yes, you might be on the keto diet or trying to eat low carb, but it’s Thanksgiving! I won’t be missing out on the pumpkin pie!

If you do decide to ditch the pumpkin pie for a keto friendly dessert – try these Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Fat Bombs!
