Keto picnic lunch – Ideal for the beach day
Keto picnic lunch is a beach lunch for us since we always keep exploring wild beaches in Greece. Places where there are no cafés, restaurants or grocery stores so you have to bring your food with you. Now, I am sure that many of you love spending time outdoors. Unlike those who don’t care for too many carbs, you wonder what picnic food to take with you. Naturally, there are those cool backpacks, portable refrigerators and other forms of keeping your food safe from spoiling. However, do you want to go light, and have something compact? At the same time, do you want it to be nourishing? This wonderful summer recipe will be your ultimate solution.
Not only will it give you nourishment, but it’ll also be the best thing to enjoy after swimming. The same goes for walking, hiking or riding a bike because you’ll be craving the electrolytes. All the minerals, vitamins and beneficial fatty acids will be packed in your Keto picnic lunch! When I took this Keto picnic lunch with me to the beach, I felt like I could swim for kilometres. Perhaps it was a placebo effect, but hey, you never know! 😉
Baked Keto picnic lunch – no need to refrigerate it
All the crackers and baked goods don’t need refrigerating. Your Keto picnic lunch will be exposed to high temperatures. and partially dehydrated, the chances of spoiling will be minimal. Especially if you prepare this delicious meal on the very morning of your outdoor activity.
Now, when it comes to activity, remember, fasted activity is the best thing you can do. This will help you to mobilise some of your stored fat. So, just grab your Keto picnic lunch and a bottle of water. That’s all! Explore the world around you in a fasted state. A cup of black coffee and a pinch of sea salt would help you perform any type of fasted activity. For example, I love swimming in a fasted state. It just feels so much better than when my belly is full. After swimming, (or any other activity) a well-prepared lunch on the go will feel like a true reward!
Smoked food is always the best choice for a picnic
Ever since humans invented smoking, keeping food safe for a longer period was easier. Not only that the food becomes delicious, but smoking also makes it safe to consume. Even if you are on the go and you don’t have a refrigerator. In this particular recipe for a Keto picnic lunch, you can use any type of protein source. I would recommend going for a smoked or dried kind. When you combine it with other ingredients, you will be able to reduce the saltiness. Let’s just see the recipe, you’ll understand what I mean instantly! 😉
