This is your go-to Target keto shopping list.
Do you remember that love letter I wrote to Trader Joe’s a while back?
Ok, it wasn’t quite a love letter but it got pretty sappy as I confessed my love for all the ways Trader Joe’s makes life amazing with their great products and affordable prices.
Well, the way I feel about Trader Joe’s is similar to the way I feel about Target. It’s a gold mine for adorable products (especially for your home) at awesome prices. Surprisingly, though, it wasn’t until recently that I realized that their food selection is pretty amazing as well.
The gym that I coach at is located right beside a ...

Keto Drinks at Starbucks (Plus Paleo/AIP Options)
If there is one thing that I always look out for when I am in a new city, it’s a cafe. Cafes are great places for you to get work done, relax and potentially meet some interesting people.
Typically, I prefer to stick to smaller, family-owned cafes. However, when I am trying to stick to the paleo or keto diet, it is significantly easier if I simply go to Starbucks.
Starbucks and Diets
Aside from having a speedy internet connection, Starbucks makes it easy for you to customize any drink order to fit your dietary needs.
Whether you are on the paleo, AIP or keto diet, there is a drink for you on that Starbucks menu. Surely this ...

Trader Joe’s Keto Shopping List
Do you have access to a Trader Joe’s? If you are lucky enough to answer “yes” to that question, then BLESS.
I didn’t grow up with access to a Trader Joe’s. It wasn’t until I moved to Portland, Oregon, that I became a Trader Joe’s fanatic. And I’ll tell you - once that happens, there’s no going back.
Sure, your traditional grocery stores get the job done. Fred Meyer, Safeway, Walmart, Publix - these stores are fine. They have good options for stocking your kitchen. You can find deals there if you do a little research beforehand. Sometimes they even have some solid produce options.
But Trader Joe’s - Trader Joe’s is a mecca of amazing ...

Better Broccoli Salad
Broccoli salad like this one always reminds me of potlucks or picnics as a kid. I'll be honest - I loved it back then.
Broccoli salad can be good for you, or it can use some pretty scary ingredients (health-wise, at least). This one is delicious and nutritious, and will keep you full all day. It’s got chopped chicken for protein, pistachios for crunch, and a creamy lemon dressing that you will love.
This recipe isn't one that is a good option for our paleo readers, but if you're keto and can tolerate dairy, give this one a shot!

A creamy coconut curry sauce comes together in a flash, and is then topped with a perfectly poached egg. It’s decadent, rich, and flavorful, and the perfect way to start your day.
Trust me, you'll be ready to attack your day after this.
And bonus - this recipe is keto *and* paleo! ...

Keto Barbecue Meatloaf
Meatloaf always takes me back to my childhood. My mom would cook dinner for us most nights and meatloaf was a go to. I loved her take on the classic dish - and even today, it's still one of my favorites.
This recipe sends me back to those days, but we've taken it up a level to help you stick to the keto diet. Barbecue sauce is a favorite among people, but more times than not it is loaded down with sugar in some form.
That's the stuff we're trying to stay away from on keto.
A delicious sugar-free barbecue sauce comes together quickly and tops a delicious meatloaf for a keto meal you won’t soon forget. Serve with some mashed ...

Lemon Caper Tuna Wraps
Canned tuna is one of the best proteins out there — it’s super nutritious, and requires absolutely no effort, just open the can and eat. That being said - quality is important.
If possible, we advocate for choosing brands that are sustainably sourced. Choosing a brand that says the tuna has been caught by pole and line is something I try to do. This means that the fish were caught one by one - not by using a big net that scoops up a bunch of other marine life at the same time.
I like the brand Wild Planet, Ocean Naturals, and the Whole Foods brand.
These easy lettuce wraps require pretty much that same amount of effort as opening a ...
