Grilled chicken and avocado make up one of Sadie’s favorite low-carb lunches—a zucchini noodle salad. While the chicken and avocado deliver a good dosage of protein and good fats, the zucchini noodles give that pasta-like texture without the carbohydrates. “It’s light yet really full. For a fresh, tart finish, I often squeeze lemon,” she notes.
Sadie also loves her stuffed bell peppers made with ground turkey and cauliflower rice. “I batch on Sundays so I have something ready for hectic workdays.” A great replacement for conventional rice, cauliflower rice packs in vitamins and fiber while lowering the carbohydrates.
Last advice from Sadie is for lettuce wrap tacos. Ground meat, tomatoes, cheese, and sour cream she loads crunchy lettuce leaves with. She jokes, “These wraps give me all the satisfaction of tacos, minus the carbs from tortillas.”
These dishes have let Sadie remain dedicated to her low-carb path free from restriction. Therefore, consider these great alternatives if you want to reduce carbohydrates!
