Finding Good Vegetarian Low Carb Recipes

There are many vegetarian low carb recipes out there but selecting a good one for you and your family can be difficult. The thing I have found that works best when on a low carb diet for vegetarians is to have a collection of your favorite foods at home and work out your vegetarian low carb recipes around them.

Basic Ingredients For Vegetarian Low Carb Recipes

The first ingredient that I use in the majority of my vegetarian low carb recipes is tofu. Tofu is literally the wonder food of the vegetarian world. If you have been a meat eater before and are looking for something that is nutritious and can emulate the flavor and texture of meat, tofu is your friend.

You are going to want to start simple with this ingredient and work you way up to proficiency with it. This ingredient is incredibly versatile and can be used in just about any vegetarian low carb recipes that you find. Whether it is Asian or Italian you can work tofu in if you use it right.

The next ingredient I find to be very flexible and usable in lot of vegetarian low carb recipes is egg. Eggs are wonderfully flexible and capable of providing needed protein. It is especially important to make sure that you have the right amount of protein when on a vegetarian diet, as it is very easy to not have enough. Protein is often overlooked in recipes, so it may be up to you to make sure that you and your family are getting the amount that you need.

Another good staple ingredient in vegetarian cooking is nut. Coconuts, peanuts and cashews all have their own unique flavor and add taste and texture to any vegetarian meal. Coconut milk is very healthy and can be a lower fat alternative to cow’s milk. Peanuts can make wonderful sauces and cashews can spruce up even the blandest of meals.

Another useful food for vegetarian low carb recipes is peppers. These can provide a shot of flavor with very few calories. There are also many valuable nutrients and vitamins in peppers, so do not be afraid to try them in just about anything.

Well there you have some basic ideas to get your vegetarian low carb recipes off the ground. The key is being willing to experiment and try new things so don’t be afraid to give new things a shot.
