Ideas for Low Carb Summer Recipes

I quickly decided that being on a low carb diet was not going to keep me sitting on the sidelines at every yummy summer barbecue. Instead, I was determined to come up with some low carb summer recipes that would allow me to maintain my healthy weight AND still enjoy wonderful summer foods. I have prepared a number of mouth-watering low carb summer recipes perfect for barbecues that your whole family will love! Get ready to dig in.

Low Carb Summer Recipes for Burger Buns

Yep, you heard me correctly: Burgers. I thought to myself “What kind of a summer recipes collection would leave out a yummy barbecued burger?” So I am using Atkins low carb Hamburger Bun. I have tried many bun recipes out there and this is one of the better ones. They add tons of flavour and allow you to enjoy the burger AND the bun.

Low Carb Summer Recipes for Barbecued Wings

I’m not sure if you have had a chance to try my low carb Chicken Wings recipe yet, but my husband and I love them. They are crispy and delicious and great with my low carb recipe for Creamy Garlic Dip. But once summer comes around I have my husband finish them on the barbecue with one of my favourite low carb summer recipes: my super Low Carb Barbecue Sauce. You just brush the sauce on and get them nice and caramelized on the grill and then serve them up pub style with carrot and celery sticks with my fabulous low carb Creamy Garlic Dip.

Low Carb Summer Recipes for Deviled Eggs

I don’t know about you guys, but when summer arrives my family and I love deviled eggs. Ideal for picnics and barbecues, my low carb summer recipes had to include deviled eggs. They create the perfect low carb appetizer. These are wonderful for family gatherings and serve up perfectly on picnics if kept nice and cold. If there are any leftovers (which I doubt there will be!) you can chop them and serve them on salad with some bacon bits. Delish!

Low Carb Summer Recipes for Barbecued Chicken

No summer is complete without a few lovely meals al fresco and enjoying the delicious flavours of barbecued chicken is perfect for leisurely evenings. Of all my low carb summer recipes I love this one as it is big on flavour and small on effort, perfect for dinner guests. I serve this with my Low Carb Green Bean Delight. It also makes a lovely meal served cold the next day on a crisp green salad with plenty of fresh summer veggies.

Low Carb Summer Recipes for Yummy Dessert

In the summer you may not feel like baking, but truly this Low Carb Chocolate Cake will make your family insist. I discovered this recipe on healthyindulgences.net, so kudos to them. I did however switch it up a bit for the version appearing on my website. The beauty of this recipe is you can serve it with my Low Carb Chocolate Icing or, serve it with fresh whipped cream sweetened with ? and lovely summer berries. Yum!
Now get out there and fire up that grill!

Stay healthy and live well,
