This list of keto dinners will give you ideas for every day of the week. Instead of doing only chicken or fish, we have a variety of proteins including shrimp, pork, salmon, eggs, and beef. They are also grouped by preparation for your convenience.
We kick it off with some 15-minute keto meals because, hey, convenience. This means you’ll have options for when you’re super tired and want something that can be done in 15 minutes with a few ingredients. You also have options if you want to use a slower cooker or an instant pot.
The list also includes dairy-free and gluten-free options for those who want to steer clear of those ingredients, or if you’re just tired of cheese in every recipe.
If you want to get more information about the keto diet, especially if you’re a beginner, we created this keto guide and we have found this book, the Keto Beginning* to be an invaluable resource. This post contains affiliate links.
Let’s start with the five 15-minute dinners.

5 Dairy-Free Keto Dinners
While it’s great that we can eat dairy on a ketogenic diet, eating cheese every single day has some not-so-great effects.
We’re talking inflammation and indigestion, and yes, too much cheese can also be converted into glucose. Take a break from dairy with these dairy free keto dinners.

If you want to reduce the overall amount of dairy in your diet, you can replace butter with grass-fed ghee* from Bulletproof. Ghee contains no lactose or milk solids. It uses 100% butterfat from grass-fed cows, and it can be used in cooking, baking, and in keto proof coffee. It’s also great for Paleo eaters.
