Whether you've turned to the ketogenic diet for weight loss, to regain your energy or to simply live a healthier life, you've probably noticed something about most of the keto recipes out there:
They contain dairy. And often lots of it!
Getting started with keto–especially understanding what you can and can't eat and tracking macros–can feel especially overwhelming. And if you're allergic or sensitive to dairy, you might wonder whether keto is actually the right clean eating plan for you.
The good news? Keto recipes don't need dairy to be delicious. In fact, there are plenty of keto-friendly foods that will keep you feeling full and satisfied with no dairy at all!
