5 Weeknight Dinners for Parents on the Keto Meal Plan

Are the kids complaining about your diet? We get it. It’s tough to maintain a healthy diet while feeding young kids with, ahem, particular tastes. To help create a keto meal plan that everyone could love, we turned to AI. 

Ollie is an AI assistant that helps plan your family’s weeknight meals. Within minutes, you get personalized recipes tailored to exactly your needs, along with an instant grocery list you can take to the store. 

We asked Ollie to give us a keto meal plan that would work for busy weeknights and please picky kids. We followed the standard ketogenic diet and asked for high-fat, moderate-protein, low-carb dinners. 

No need to scroll through thousands of words and a litany of ads, we’re all about making things easier. Here’s a weekly meal plan you can use for this week’s keto-friendly, family-friendly meals.
