    Arugula & Prosciutto Pizza with Zucchini Crust

    How to Make Arugula & Prosciutto Pizza with Zucchini Crust

    Low carb pizza? Yes, please! The star of this pie is the zucchini crust—you could use it as the base for any number of pizza or flatbread creations. In this recipe, we top it with a simple tomato sauce, savory prosciutto, and fresh arugula.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat your oven to 500 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
    2. Line a large plate or cutting board with four layers of paper towels or a clean dish towel. Put the grated zucchini on top and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
    3. Meanwhile, stir together the crushed tomatoes, oregano, garlic powder, and basil. Set aside.
    4. Once the zucchini has sat for at least 5 minutes, cover with another layer of towels and squeeze out as much moisture as you can. Add the drained zucchini to a large bowl with the almond flour, egg, cheese, rosemary, and black pepper. Mix well.
    5. Place the zucchini dough in the middle of the prepared baking sheet. Press into a rectangle or circle about 1/4-inch thick. Bake the crust for 12 minutes, until it is lightly browned and the edges are crispy.
    6. Remove from the oven, and immediately spread the tomato sauce on the crust while it is still hot. Top with prosciutto slices and arugula, then cut into 6 equal slices.

    How to Make Low Carb Apple Spice Muffins

    These low carb muffins are made with coconut and almond flours instead of wheat flour (which makes them gluten-free, too), and they are sweetened with erythritol, a low-calorie sugar alcohol. The result is scrumptious muffins with only 9 grams of carbohydrate and no added sugar! These are perfect for meal prepping or a grab-and-go breakfast. They are also freeze well for longer storage—just thaw at room temperature or toast them in the oven for a warm treat!

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.
    2. In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt. In another medium bowl, combine the oil, eggs, and almond milk.
    3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix. Add the apple and stir.
    4. Fill the muffin tins. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a fork or toothpick comes out clean.
    5. To freeze: let the muffins cool completely, then remove them from the muffin pan. Arrange them in a single layer on a sheet pan and freeze for at least 2 hours. Once they are frozen solid, store them together in a freezer-safe ziptop bag. Or, wrap each muffin well in aluminum foil to store individually.

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat oven to 225°F, and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

    2. Slice apples ⅛” thin, using a knife, a v-slicer, or the slicing attachment of a food processor. Then arrange slices on prepared baking sheets and sprinkle evenly with 2 tbsp Splenda Sweetener and 1 tsp ground cinnamon. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Flip the chips onto the other side and bake for 20 minutes more.

    3. Turn oven off and leave apple chips inside for another hour, with the door closed. Chips should be mostly dry to the touch but will continue to dry out as they cool.

    4. While chips cool, make peanut butter yogurt dip by combining Greek yogurt, peanut butter, remaining 1 tbsp Splenda Sweetener, and remaining 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Whisk until combined.

    2servings

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat oven to 450°F.

    2. Prepare the sauce: In a saucepan, combine orange juice, Splenda Sweetener, and sliced ginger. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Boil 10–12 minutes or until orange juice has reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Remove from heat; discard ginger slices.

    3. In a bowl, whisk together half-and-half, cornstarch, and salt until smooth.

    4. Whisk butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, into orange juice until melted. Whisk in half-and-half mixture. Return saucepan to medium-high and heat until boiling.

    5. Remove sauce from heat; transfer to a blender and carefully blend for about 30 seconds until light and smooth.

    6. Prepare the salmon and vegetables: Place vegetables in an 8” x 8” baking dish; lay salmon fillets on top of the vegetables. Bake for 10–15 minutes or until salmon flakes easily when tested with a small knife and vegetables are heated through.

    7. Transfer vegetables and salmon to serving plates; pour sauce over salmon. Serve with steamed rice, if desired.

    How to Make Homemade Instant Soup Jars

    Instant soups are a convenient and inexpensive meal, but they are loaded with sodium. This homemade version is easy to prepare ahead of time (make a few at a time for easy meal prepping) so you can enjoy the same convenience, but a much healthier version! This recipe calls for coconut aminos, which is a lower sodium (only 90 mg per tsp!), gluten-free substitute for soy sauce. If you’re trying to cut back on sodium, coconut aminos are a great alternative to soy sauce to keep in your pantry. To make the hard-boiled egg for this recipe, try our favorite method here.

    Sheet Pan Chicken, Green Beans & Potatoes

    How to Make Sheet Pan Chicken, Green Beans & Potatoes

    This budget-friendly family meal is made with just 6 ingredients and a sheet pan for minimal clean up. Perfect for busy weeknights when you need to get dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes. You could use any fresh or frozen vegetables. Italian dressing mix is a great “shortcut” seasoning, but you could use other seasonings you have on hand.

    This recipe includes a step for “leaching” the potatoes—a process that reduces the potassium. This is useful for people managing kidney disease or otherwise on a potassium-restricted diet. If you do not need to limit potassium, you can skip this step. If not leached, the potassium content is 765 mg per serving.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat oven to 400˚ F. Chop the potatoes into bite sized pieces. See helpful hints for instructions on potassium reduction if needed. Toss potatoes in 1 teaspoon olive oil.

    2. Spray a 9 x13-inch sheet pan with cooking spray. Place the raw chicken strips down 1/3 of the pan. Place the potatoes down another 1/3 of the pan. Finally, lay the frozen green beans down the last 1/3 of the pan.

    3. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the entire pan of chicken, potatoes and green beans. Sprinkle Italian dressing dry mix over the entire pan.

    4. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes. Check chicken for doneness after 20 minutes.

    Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Sauce

    How to Make Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Sauce

    Tomatoes are high in potassium, meaning tomato sauce is usually off limits for someone managing kidney disease on a low potassium diet. This kidney-friendly sauce replaces half the tomatoes with roasted red peppers for a lower potassium sauce that can be used on pasta, pizza, or as a replacement for tomato sauce in recipes. And, it tastes great! You can use store bought roasted red peppers (look for the lowest sodium option) or roast red bell peppers at home. You can easily double or triple this recipe to make a larger batch and freeze some for later.
