This salad incorporates everything you could want in a delicious keto lunch—spicy, seasonal arugula, creamy avocado, crunchy bacon and tangy goat cheese.

Dinner: Spring Vegetable Stir Fry

Brighten up your day with this tangy lemon and ginger stir-fry that’s a perfect complement to whatever fresh vegetables you have on hand. We're dreaming about asparagus, green beans, and peas, but broccoli and scallions would be delicious in here as well. Toss some chicken into the pan and you've got a perfect meal!

Dessert: Lemony Lemon Tart with Whipped Cream and Berries

This impossibly simple recipe is the perfect canvas for creativity. All you need is butter, Fat Snax Lemony Lemon cookies, whipped cream, and whatever toppings you’d like. We recommend fresh berries! For an added burst of springy freshness, garnish this dessert with the zest of a lemon. 

Snack: Sweet Pea No-Bean Hummus 

This gorgeous dip is packed full of seasonal herbs and green peas instead of chickpeas. Any fresh herbs will do, but we think that mint would be especially delicious here. Serve with your favorite keto-friendly crackers, chips, or sliced veggies.
