Keto Recipe: Delicious Chocolate Donuts

Keto Recipe: Delicious Chocolate Donuts

October 10, 2013 by 37 Comments

All these posts about treats just make me want more! Here's another favorite of mine that ended up being a daily affair, and a staple in my diet. Two good things at once? It almost seems too good to be true - but it's not. These chocolate donuts seriously pack a punch in taste, nutrition, and the guilt. Made from protein powder, you'd expect a consistency to that of a piece of cardboard but it's the secret of egg whites that really take it to a whole new level. Each bite you take will actually ...

Top this creamy porridge off with your favorite toppings or stick with one of my favorites: raspberries! Make this porridge right before heading off to work for a nutritious breakfast that will keep hunger at bay. Yields 1 serving of Keto Coconut Porridge The ...

Baconscotch Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Baconscotch Chocolate Chunk Cookies

December 20, 2013 by Leave a Comment

The reaction I get out of people when I say the words chocolate and bacon together is absolutely priceless. They look so disgusted, but they're in the dark on this one. Bacon and chocolate go together extremely well - the salty components playing off the sweet, boosting the flavor of the chocolate. For this recipe, we are using candied bacon. If you need to know how to make it, we have a how-to on candied bacon. You'll also need to know how to make chocolate ganache. If you need, we have a ...

Tropical Chocolate Mousse Bites

The ultimate indulgent Keto chocolate treat has arrived! This is chocolate with a delectable rich mousse center. I rate these up there with the finest chocolatiers, except they are very much keto friendly. The mousse mix has a hint of lemon and coconut which gives a bit of freshness to the rich chocolate but you can choose to leave these out if you wish. If you have a sweet tooth these are the perfect thing to store in your fridge or freezer. They keep for a long time in the freezer, and ...

My LCHF/keto journey has been unique to me, just like most others truthfully. When I started during June of 2016, I was fed up with being tired all the time, having no energy, struggling to stand up from a floor-seated position, and having to take meds for constant acid reflux. I wasn’t 100% sure how to eat because as a vegetarian, I didn’t eat red meat, pork, chicken, or beef. I decided to add fish and other seafood back to my diet to make this work, and I figured out how to move forward by ...

With all of the ice cream recipes that have been getting love lately, there's been a rising amount of people that want to make ice cream without a machine. Keto and ice cream go great together - you get a creamy, full bodied flavor with tons of fat and a fraction of the carbs. Tasteaholics have written this guest post, and I was thrilled when they told me about this. A keto ice cream recipe - that needs no machine. Without further ado, here's Vicky and Rami: "Before we began our keto ...

Keto Pound Cake

Keto Pound Cake

January 24, 2017 by 82 Comments

This basic keto pound cake has the perfect blend flavors. It’s just enough lemon and vanilla to add a nice layer of added flavor to this standard cake. Don’t care for lemon extract? Just replace the lemon extract with more vanilla extract, or use another extract. The beauty of this recipe is that it is easily adaptable and you can change the flavors to suit your own tastes. Sometimes I’ll use only vanilla extract in place of lemon, or use butter extract with the vanilla extract. When I’m ...

This beer cheese soup has all the elements of a great meal: heavy cream, crumbly bacon, melted cheese, and low-carb beer.  Make sure you check out our article on keto friendly beers. We use a bit of xanthan gum and cheese as a thickener to help the soup be just as creamy as higher carb versions of this recipe.   You can find this in the gluten-free section of your grocery store.  If for some reason you can't find it locally, then try ordering it online.  We use it a lot for thickening ...

Keto Pesto Chicken Pasta

Keto Pesto Chicken Pasta

April 5, 2018 by Leave a Comment

There is something about the classic combination of fragrant basil, salty Parmesan, and lemon that make the flavors in a pesto dish absolutely sing. Pesto sauced zucchini noodles are complemented here with juicy chicken breast and baked tomatoes that flood your mouth with natural sweetness as they pop in your mouth. Pesto pasta is the ultimate comfort food and always used to be what I turned to if I needed a quick meal after a long tiring day. Luckily with a few low carb twists it can ...

5 Minute Keto Pesto

5 Minute Keto Pesto

July 9, 2015 by 4 Comments

Typically pesto is a very simple recipe of basil, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and olive oil. Over the years people have added more and more ingredients to this classic recipe in order to adapt to tastes and preferences.  My personal addition is the tomato paste. I felt like the original version of this recipe was slightly bitter with the basil and pine nuts competing for top flavor.  A touch of tomato paste adds some acidity, sweetness, and cuts back on the bitterness. On keto, ...
