Keto lunch recipes shouldn't be time-consuming and difficult, especially when they usually fall within work hours. This refreshing pesto avocado zoodle dish is big on flavor and only takes 15 minutes to prepare. It also requires no cooking, which makes it perfect for hot summer days. This recipe is perfect if you are following an eco-Keto diet plan. By using 100% plant-based ingredients, this Keto lunch is good for you and the environment. The zucchini provides fiber and plenty of water to keep you full and hydrated. Avocado and olive oil are excellent sources of healthy fats that give richness and keep you satiated. The rest of the ingredients help elevate the flavors of this meal while still providing nutrition. ### What if you are not following an Eco-Keto diet? We understand how you might not be entirely sold on ditching animal products, but we encourage you to try this recipe for its potential health and environmental benefits. You can start slow by incorporating a few of these Eco-Keto recipes into your week. We suggest you start with meatless Mondays. But if you still want to try this recipe differently, you can use it as a base, then add other ingredients such as grilled chicken or steak. ### Do you need a spiralizer? Don't sweat it! Easy Keto recipes are meant to be versatile and accessible to everyone. You can use a vegetable peeler to get ribbon-shaped zucchini, or you can thinly slice your zucchini into noodles using a knife. You can even finely dice the zucchini and eat this meal using a spoon. ### Can you use another vegetable other than zucchini? Zucchini is the best option for this recipe if you are strict with your carb count. Otherwise, you can use other low carb options such as spaghetti squash or spiralized eggplant.
