Keeping it KETOGENIC at Chick-fil-A
Chick-fil-A is like the favorite child of the fast food world. No matter what time of day you go there they always have a drive-thru line which seems miles long, but it doesn’t stop people from waiting!
We have found Chick-fil-A to be a perfect meal any time of day- breakfast, morning snack, lunch, dinner, late night snack- except for on Sundays when you are really craving grilled chicken nuggets and you forget they’re closed (but doesn’t that make your Monday run that much better?!)
All that being said it’s also convenient and easy to order ketogenic Chick-fil-A meals, not like we need another reason to eat there.

Didn’t see this in your list of breads, and it’s one of my favorites… Outer Isle Cauliflower bread.
I will be trying some of your tortilla suggestions. Bread is really my biggest hitch when trying to stay in keto.
The other is potatoes, but seasoned jicama fries fill in nicely there.
Hi Rena,
That sounded familiar and after some diggig, I found that we actually have it listed under pizza crust 🙂 We do use it all the time and it makes some AMAZING grilled cheeses.
