Today, I’m sharing 20 easy keto meals for lazy people. They’re not only easy but tasty too.

I love the simplicity of salads. But hate how hungry they can make you feel after.

This one is pretty satisfying. That’s because it’s packed with chicken breast, ham, cheese, and even some sesame seeds.

So, it’s loaded with protein, which keeps you full. And let’s not forget the veggies.

There’s baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, and lettuce. So, it’s fresh and nutritious too.

The homemade dressing tastes amazing. It’s creamy, smoky, and tangy…you’ll want to put it on everything.

All it takes only 5 minutes to make the salad and the dressing. So, there’s no excuse for ordering takeout.

Ready to cook up some fried “rice” in less than 30 minutes? Then, this dish is for you.

And it’s loaded with sausage; everything is better with sausage, right? There’s even red bell peppers too.

For extra convenience, you can simply use pre-packaged cauliflower rice which you can find here. But to save money, you can make your own instead.

Did someone say “Pizza in a Mug”? Count me in… Any time I can have some keto pizza is a good day.

But making pizza from scratch can be tedious. Particularly if you also have to make low carb pizza crust.

It’s much easier to call it a day and order pizza from your local pizzeria. Until now.

This pizza is delicious and cheesy. It even has a bit of a “crust’ at the bottom. And it only takes 90 seconds to make… Yes, you read that right.

And unlike traditional pizza, it has only 3 grams of net carbs per serving. So, you can have two if you like.

The key to it being low carb is that you use almond flour instead of regular flour.

Besides being low in net carbs, almond flour is also rich in Vitamin E, which is good for your skin. If you need to stock up on some, you can get some here.
