August 16, 2023Delicious nutrient-rich recipes and strategies for your vegetarian or vegan low carb lifestyle.
Following a vegetarian or vegan diet while going low carb can be challenging, but you can do it with careful planning and creativity. Atkins 100 is a great option for vegetarians and vegans. Vegetarians can get their protein from eggs, legumes, nuts, and dairy and soy products. Vegans can get sufficient protein from seeds, nuts, soy products, soy and rice cheeses, seitan, legumes and high-protein grains like quinoa.
A vegetarian or vegan low carb lifestyle can be a satisfying and healthful way to eat, especially if you stick with these tips:
Jumpstart your low carb vegetarian or vegan lifestyle with nutrient-dense, plant-based low carb meals and snacks:
Breakfast: You can’t go wrong with eggs, which are naturally low in carbs and a great source of protein, if you’re a vegetarian. You can also get your vegan egg fix with Vegan Garden Vegetable Frittata. And both vegans and vegetarians can enjoy Chia Pecan Overnight Oats.
Lunch: You’ll get your fill of fresh, fiber-rich veggies with Vegan Chickpea Penne Salad or Vegetarian Ramen Zoodle Bowls.

Snacks: Get a sweet fix with Vegan Nut, Seed and Energy Balls or elevate your snack game with Low Carb Nori Wraps with Ginger Tempeh (these also make a tasty light lunch).
