    Keto as a Vegetarian/Pescatarian

    The Keto diet is a very popular diet. I have followed it for a few years now. When I first started keto, my mom, who was vegetarian, wondered how she could follow it also.

    As a vegetarian, it can be difficult following a low carb, ketogenic diet due to the fact that vegetarians turn towards beans and legumes to replace meat.

    Tips and Substitutions

    • Be sure to oil the muffin pan well to prevent sticking. As an alternate option, use silicone muffin cups.
    • To prepare asparagus for cooking, snap off the bottom part of the stalk by holding it in both hands and bending it until it snaps. Discard the woody part and use the tender top portion for this recipe.
    • Substitute 1 cup of canned diced tomatoes for the fresh tomato.
    • Substitute green beans or chopped broccoli for the asparagus.
    • Add 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese to the top of each muffin before baking.
