Can you use kale and spinach in place of arugula
Hi, KetoDiva. Sure! That’s a great idea.
Hello!
This is my first week and i’m loving making my food.
For this particular meal what can I use instead of walnuts? I’m not really a nutty person.
Hi, lbon6522, and welcome! You can use olives or avocado cubes instead.
Thank you!
Jeg har allergi af agurk, hvad kan jeg bruge i stedet?
Hej, Angelo 74. Enhver ikke-stivelsesagtig grĆøntsag fungerer – inklusive selleri, andet salatgrĆønt osv.
I am allergic to avocados. š So many of the options include avocado or the subsititute includes them. Any suggestions?
Hi, Adstep. Substitution for avocado depends on the recipe, so I will list a few different options:
*Salads and stir-fries – olives, nuts, or hard cheese
*Puddings – coconut or dairy cream
* Spreads – nut butters, coconut or dairy butter (including ghee), or cheese
* Whole for stuffing – keto wraps such as those offered through Thrive Market (link on your menu page, then search for “keto wrap” or “coconut wrap”) – 4 wraps for each 160-gram avocado.
* Oil – olive oil, coconut oil, dairy butter (including ghee), “smart” butter spread (such as Earth Balance)
I have hypertension and the halloumi cheese is high in salt what can I substitute this with
Hi, Doreenh247. You can substitute the following low-sodium option for halloumi cheese:
200 mg firm tofu
Coated with 1 beaten egg (preferably omega-3)
and 1/4 cup almond flour or meal
Use an extra 1 tablespoon of olive oil for dressing
Total sodium: 102 mg (25.5 mg per serving)
What is a cheese substitute for halloumi cheese that can be found in a regular grocery store? I do not have a Whole Foods near me.
Hi, Catcoe. Other than Indian paneer cheese, you can substitute the amount here with 2 cups of cubed firm tofu (10 oz, 500 g). To keep it keto-supportive, add another tablespoon of olive oil plus 1/2 of a small avocado.
Hi Sharon, Instead of using the Halloumi cheese what suggestions do you have that I can I replace that with in the salad
Hi, Kya1. You can use Indian paneer cheese, or another cheese labeled “grillable.” Even brie or Camembert with the floury peel left on would be fine.
How many servings does this make? Again, this should be easy to follow. Not listing servings makes it difficult to know how much to eat.
Hi, Jkesl. The number of servings is always listed at the far right end of the summary bar, just above the photograph.
We do not have an Indian store, to buy that che ese. I might just delete the cheese.
I would rather do the low carb. How do I change my plan?
Hi, AnnDepler. Simply deselect “keto” from the “Dietary Needs” section of your profile (lower right area), then generate a new menu by clicking on the giant plus (+) sign above your current menu.
hi…..short of doing the calculations ourself, is there a way to change the recipe to reflect single portions….annoying if you live alone and want to make single portions of things to have to change the recipes for so may dishes. I know on some recipe sites, there is a recipe conversion tool that will do that …change portion size and thereby changing the recipe automatically

What is arugula
Hi, Marielynn. Arugula is also known as “rocket.”
Hi, can I use lettuce instead of Arugula please?
Hi, Shanna. Absolutely!
Where does one find halloumi cheese? Is there a substitute?
Hi, Donaonseacliff. You can find halloumi cheese at Whole Foods Market or other gourmet or Middle Eastern stores. Some stores carry “halloumi-like” or “grillable” cheese that might be OK, but be sure to check the label to be sure that there is the same amount or more fat than there is protein, to keep it keto.
What is haollumi cheese or a substitute? Iāve never seen this in our stores or markets
Hi, Mistifier. Halloumi is a Middle Eastern/Mediterranean “grillable” cheese that you can find at Whole Foods Market or other gourmet or Middle Eastern stores. Some stores carry Indian āpaneerā or other āhalloumi-likeā or āgrillableā cheeses that might be OK, but be sure to check the label to be sure that there is the same amount or more fat than there is protein, to keep it keto.
Hey Sharon,
Can we use Indian paneer instead of āHalloumi Cheese ā as a substitute?
Hi, Rocky25. Absolutely! Paneer is the perfect substitute for halloumi cheese.
