If you haven’t heard of The ketogenic diet (often called keto), it’s a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis. While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

Ingredients

2 Cans of Tuna

4 Tbsp Mayonnaise

1 Tbsp Celery (Minced)

Directions 

1. Preheat oven to 325 F. Spread out the mozzarella slices onto 2 parchment paper (Not Wax Paper) lined baking sheets. Then in a bowl mix the drained cans of tuna with the mayonnaise and minced celery. Stir until very well combined.

Recipe Tips:

– Using pre sliced Mozzarella Deli Slices makes this recipe a breeze.

– I turned my oven to broil for the last minute of baking, just to brown the tops a bit more. Watch very closely if you do this step.

– Small square piles of grated mozzarella cheese will work instead of the slices if needed.

– Use 2 170 g cans of tuna.
