Keto Avocado and Salmon Salad

This salad is sure to leave you full until dinnertime. The base of this salad is a blissful spring mix next to smoked salmon, which is one of my favorite additions to any keto salad as it contains a high amount of fats and good protein. The salmon is really the key to this recipe. It is then topped off with avocado slices and onion to give the salad a crispy crunch. The salad dressing includes a dash of sweetener with mustard and white wine vinegar. It is a perfect pair between sweet yet ...

Normally I'm one of the very few people on this planet that actually says, "I hate avocados." I just kept seeing so many people loving them and loving them, so I decided to give them a try again.

But lately I just wanted to like them so much that I bought a bag. Boy oh boy, my tastes have changed or something because I really love them now! Salt and pepper ...

Dirty, Lazy Keto vs. Clean Keto: Should You Go Clean?

October 5, 2019 by Leave a Comment

We all naturally fall somewhere on the spectrum between squeaky clean keto and dirty lazy keto — even if we aren’t aware of it. The way of eating that you end up following ultimately depends on two crucial factors: (1) how healthy, sustainable, and effective the diet is for you and  (2) the values that drive your decisions (e.g.,  your budget, your health, religious beliefs, environmental/animal welfare concerns, and anything else that you prioritize when making a decision about what to ...

Regardless of the diet or the person, it seems that this fatty acid is unanimously crowned as being healthy. The same cannot be said for other naturally occurring fats like saturated fats and polyunsaturated fats, which both have research backing ...

Avocado Egg Salad

Avocado Egg Salad

December 20, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Half of my family is from the South, so I grew up with egg salad at every family function. Egg salad is great for work lunches, picnics, or even paired with fat head bagels for brunch. I love to put a couple tablespoons on top of some baby spinach or kale. The great thing about egg salad is there’s no one way to make it, either. For this recipe, I used hot sauce to add some spice, but if you want to turn up the heat, you can substitute the hot sauce for jalapeno peppers or scotch ...
