    KETO TIPS
    Why choose mascarpone? Mascarpone cheese is a creamy, milder cheese than cream cheese with much fewer carbs making it a perfect choice for Keto and low carb diets.

    Plus, cream cheese has a much lower fat content (33%) than mascarpone which has between 60% and 75% milk fat.

    Flavor Boost: Toasted almonds, chopped apple, or additional herbs such as such as chives, cilantro, parsley, or tarragon.

    All vegetables are not the same when it comes to a Keto diet!
    Choose non-starchy vegetables that are low in calories and carbs and high in nutrients. Choose Keto Friendly Crudités with less than 5 grams of net carbs:
    Asparagus (7 spears - 1.9 g), Broccoli (1 cup - 4 g), Cauliflower (1 cup - 3.2 g), Celery (1 cup - 1.4 g.), Cucumber (1 small - 2.3 g), Green beans (1/2 cup - 4 g.), Jicama (1 cup - 5 g), Mini Peppers (3 peppers - 4g), Mushrooms (1 cup - 2g), Radish (20 medium - 1.6 g)

    PALEO TIP
    Exchange the mascarpone cheese for mashed avocado or ½ cup Paleo mayonnaise!

    Note: The chicken, dill, celery, and green onions can be finely chopped in a food processor for a filling similar to deviled eggs or chopped by hand to look like chicken salad sandwich and served as a lettuce wrap.
