 Keto or Green Chili? Fueling Your Mountain Adventures with Colorado’s Best Foods

Let’s get this straight, if you're hiking, biking, or scaling the Rockies, you don’t just need to pack your gear. You need food that fuels your inner mountain goddess (or “cool mom” energy). So whether you're living that Keto life or you’re all about spicy green chili, Colorado’s got your back with the tastiest, most altitude-attitude fuel.

1. The Keto Crunch: Boulder’s Zoe’s Kitchen

Okay, so you're Keto, and you're living for the low-carb life, but have you tasted the cauliflower rice bowls at Zoe’s Kitchen? If not, go now. Their Mediterranean-inspired dishes are perfect for a low-carb, high-flavor, mountain fuel feast. You won’t miss the bread (promise).

2. Green Chili Heaven: Denver’s Chili Verde at The Denver Diner
Green chili is practically the state spice of Colorado, and you’ll find it smothered on everything. But if you're looking for the best of the best? Denver Diner’s Chili Verde will have you shook in the best way. Don’t worry if you're off carbs, they have Keto options that pair perfectly with their signature green chili. It’s spicy. It’s earthy. It’s everything your mountain soul needs.

3. For the Sweet Tooth: Sweet Cow in Denver
Maybe you're not about that low-carb life and you just need a little ice cream to get you through your hike. Sweet Cow in Denver is the place to go for creamy, local, artisan ice cream. Their “Cookie Monster” flavor is so good it should be illegal.

4. Bison Burgers: Colorado’s Own Mountain States
If you’re feeling a little more carnivorous and want to beef up your adventure, grab a bison burger from Mountain States. Trust us: this is the real deal, mountain style. Not only are they juicy and delicious, but they’re sustainable too.

5. Fuel for the Mountains: The Green Lady (Colorado Springs)
For a more refined experience, The Green Lady in Colorado Springs serves up health-conscious dishes without skimping on taste. From fresh green juices to flavor-packed, healthy entrees, you’ll leave feeling like you just climbed a mountain and could do it again.

So, keto or chili? Either way, Colorado’s food scene has your back, fueling you for that next summit or scenic trail. Now get out there, hike those peaks, and treat yourself to that post-adventure feast!

The Colorado way to bounce back from life’s toughest challenges. In Colorado, weather is anything but predictable. One moment, you are basking in sunshine, and the next, you are caught in a sudden downpour or even snowstorm, regardless of the forecast. But that is the beauty of the Centennial State, it is a place that teaches us how to embrace uncertainty and come back stronger when the storms hit. Much like the weather here, life is full of challenges that can arrive without warning. However, it is how we respond to those challenges that defines the strength of our resilience. Whether you are facing a personal setback, a career obstacle, or simply the everyday struggles that life throws your way, the Colorado way of bouncing back teaches us that resilience is not just about weathering the storm—it is about knowing that you can always rise after the rain. Resilience is about adapting, finding strength in adversity, and rejecting the negativity that tries to keep you down. It is about...

We experienced the scariest and most intense moments of our lives. I am ‘ thankful ’ for the incredible doctors, advanced medicine, family, and our decades-old friendships. They all showed up when I needed it most to c...
