The Keto diet is not for the faint-hearted, nor for those who consider it another ‘in-fashion’ or trendy diet to lose weight. The diet has protocols and regimens that need to be followed. If you are currently following the Keto diet and are looking for recipes, then here’s a help. You can go for fritters or a salad, depending on your mood.

2 large – Eggs
2 tsp – Baking powder
¼ cup – Mayonnaise

Method
* Add broccoli to a food processor and pulse until it is broken down into small pieces. It should be well processed.
