How to Calculate Atkins Net Carbs
Atkins Net Carbs = Total Carbohydrates – Fiber – Sugar Alcohols/Glycerin (if applicable)
×INGREDIENTS
-
1 Keto Basil Pesto
-
2 cup zucchini noodles
-
10 each Cherry or Grape Tomato
-
0 1/4 cup Green Bell Pepper (chopped)
-
0 1/4 cup Red Bell Pepper (chopped)
-
0 1/4 cup Red Onion (chopped)
-
16 each Kalamata Olives
-
0 1/4 cup, crumbled Feta Cheese
DIRECTIONS
- Ingredient notes: You will need ¼ cup of Atkins recipe for basil pesto, or you can use a premade pesto with no more than 2 net carbs for ¼ cup. We suggest using 2-inch long zucchini ribbons, or wavy ribbons, for this recipe. Optionally, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons pine nuts for an extra 0.4 net carbs per serving.Fold together all ingredients in a medium bowl until evenly distributed and coated with pesto.
Kid friendly variation: Use 16 large black olives and 1-ounce mozzarella cheese instead of the Kalamata olives and feta cheese, and subtract 0.7 Net Carbs per serving.
