‘Tis the Season
We all know what time it is! Summer! Which for many of us, means it’s time to make the rounds and visit family and friends near and far.
When we first started with Keto, we were actually in Denver staying at the in-laws house, so my mother-in-law knows, for the most part, what we do and do not eat. Before we arrived, she had stocked the fridge with some of the most basic of Keto friendly foods, which was great! I know when we have family or friends over, we often ask them if there is anything they would like for us to have on hand for their visit. Having these things makes it much more comfortable for everyone. In general, the first thing anyone wants to do after a day of flying or driving is eat, and the last thing they want to do is go to the grocery store.
Here is a quick list of SUPER basic Keto friendly foods that you don’t have to feel guilty about asking your in-laws to pick up.
1. Eggs
2. Butter
3. Bacon
3. Cream
4. Whole milk-kids
5. String Cheese
6. Coffee/Tea
If these things are in the house, it is a ton easier to stay happy, and not hungry.
Depending on your relationship, and how supportive your hosts are, you could possibly ask for coconut oil. But that might be pushing it a little.
You can check your coconut oil, no carry on. Consider buying a smaller plastic container, pack it well, double baggie it, and you should be fine. But you can also buy some after arrival. Almost all grocers carry it at this point.
Just don’t forget your coffee/tea whizzer and you’re set!
