11 low carb and keto ideas for carnival season

Whether you call it carnival or Fasching, Helau or Alaaaf, the silly season puts many people in a good mood, and all the sweet treats make it tempting to simply drop the healthy low carb or keto diet for a few days. There is no need for that. Here are 11 tasty ideas for carnival season that fit perfectly into your keto or low carb nutrition plan and that everyone else at the party will enjoy too.

What, low carb and Amerikaner do not go together? Of course they do. With good almond flour and valuable grass fed butter you give your sweet tooth healthy fats. That fills you up and makes you happy. And because we use xylitol, you will not fall straight back into a nasty craving hole after eating our low carb Amerikaner. We have certainly tested them and we say: worth a try.

This low carb treat is easy to prepare in advance and to take along to a parade, for example. With our Bread Fit the pizza swirls are made in no time and are guaranteed to please young and old. For all low carb and keto fans: each swirl has only 1.5 grams of carbohydrates. If that is not a reason to celebrate. 😉

Staying at home this carnival, but a get together with friends would still be lovely? Then we have the perfect thing to share. Our low carb sponge roll with Vanilla Heaven is not only a showstopper to look at, it is a real highlight in taste as well. And when you portion the slices, you know how it goes: in theory 80 % of the roll is your slice too. 😉

Do you prefer sharing something savoury with your friends? These little paleo burgers are made of juicy grass fed beef mince. Instead of a bun, the patties sit between two slices of sweet potato. For the low carbohydrate version you can use thick courgette slices instead of sweet potato. Here you will find more party snacks for a low carb and keto diet.

Is this year’s carnival party with the best friends from nursery happening at your place? Instead of just putting out sweets, why not give the cucumber a carnival costume? We think the little ones will fight over the “cucodile”.

Cannot resist when sweets are thrown from the parade float? We have three great alternatives for chewy sweetness that is low carb and keto friendly and sugar free on top. Our Foodpunk gummy bears also offer real added value, because gelatine from grass fed cattle is a true superfood for your gut. That is why we created the low carb and keto gummy bears in the flavour mango and lime as well. And if you fancy caramel? You will love our keto caramel toffees.

Rather treat yourself to a tasty chocolate milkshake than an alcoholic drink at carnival? Then you are in the right place. Our keto shake with fresh hazelnut butter is guaranteed to draw envious looks. Do you eat paleo? Then try our paleo banana coconut chocolate milkshake.

This picture probably reminds you of an ice lolly from your childhood. You cannot lick this dessert like an ice cream, but that does not make it any less delicious. Fresh, low carbohydrate papaya with a mascarpone and orange cream, in a smart striped look, fits any carnival event. Gluten free, sugar free and low carb.

At the funfair, at the Christmas market or at carnival, the combination of fruit and chocolate is simply a classic. But have you ever tried crispy bacon with it? It sounds unusual at first, but the mix of salty and sweet tastes absolutely great. If you prefer it classic, the coconut flakes are the way to go. Either way, a treat.

This sweet delight with cream and fruit is a real treat for celebrations and low carb and keto friendly on top. You will find it in your Foodpunk app under “raspberry pavlova” or “berry mango pavlova”, either under “personal recipes” or on the “marketplace”, if it fits your plan.

To finish, a tip from Doris, our recipe developer. For Ash Wednesday she recommends “vegetable oven parcels with juicy salmon” or “pike perch with pepper and sauerkraut” from the Foodpunk app. You will find these dishes either under “personal recipes” or on the “marketplace”, if they fit your plan. A crowning end to the carnival season.
