No Carb Philly Cheesesteaks (Keto, Paleo)

Print

You won’t be able to get enough of these Philly cheesesteaks! The bib lettuce wrap is a perfect bread replacement and the pepper, onion, mozzarella, steak mixture is absolutely delicious!

Further Food Commentary:

These Philly cheesesteak's are a great option if you are on a low-carb, paleo or ketogenic diet as they only have 2g of net carbs! Each serving provides you with 19g of protein to help you feel satiated and thanks to the bell peppers, each serving has 234 mg of potassium, making these a great post-workout meal given the protein and hydrating potassium!

Helping you eat better, feel better, naturally.

Founder's story:

"My father had just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, my mom was
managing her hypothyroid, and my best friend was struggling with painful IBS.
I went online to search for food-based and natural solutions that could help
them heal. But what I found was scattered, disorganized, and left me more confused. I thought, ‘There must be an easier way to discover solutions for various ailments from real experts and from people who had done it themselves. So I decided to build a resource—a platform for food as medicine solutions
for all your health needs. And I decided to take the wisdom from this community to create real food based products that heal.
