Keto Panna Cotta

This Keto Panna Cotta Recipe has only 4 ingredients and makes a decadent low carb dessert. (Here are more keto desserts that actually taste good!)

To ensure that the dessert is low carb and keto friendly, use extra dark chocolate that’s 85%, 90% or higher that’s as low in sugars and carbs as possible.

You can sweeten the panna cotta by adding in a couple of tablespoons (or more) of stevia, or your sweetener of choice.

Regarding the cream, you can can use whatever cream you have in your fridge, as you’re not whipping it, it doesn’t have to be heavy or whipping, just luxurious cream to create a rich and creamy dessert.

Keto Panna Cotta Recipe

3.5oz/100g Keto Chocolate
2 teaspoons Gelatin
1 Cup Cream
1/2 Cup Almond Milk

Break the keto chocolate into small pieces, which will be easy to melt, and set it aside for when you’re ready for it.

Pour the cream and almond milk into a small saucepan and place it on the stove top over medium heat.
Warm the cream and almond milk and remove from heat just before it reaches steaming and simmering point.

Keto Bulletproof Tea Recipe

February 9, 2021 by Easy Keto Living

Keto Bulletproof Tea Recipe – How to make low carb hot drinks with butter, heavy cream, coconut oil or MCT oil and green tea, matcha or your tea of choice – with the video.

Keto Bulletproof Tea

Keto Bulletproof Tea is a wonderful warming drink to make to help you meet your macros and keep you full for hours.

You can use a milk frother or blender to blend your tea together, or simply whisk well with a teaspoon to help the healthy fats emulsify with the tea.

Can You Drink Tea On A Keto Diet?

Yes, you absolutely can drink tea on keto, which means you can incorpoate a whole range of tasty (and nutritious) flavored warm drinks in your diet.

My local health food store has a rainbow of herbal teas to choose from. I tend to lean towards peppermint flavored tea, as a personal preference.

You may prefer matcha, green tea, English Breakfast tea or really any tea you’d like.

Just be sure that there are no sugar or carbs added into herbal or flavored teas and you can happily include them in your diet.

Healthy Fat Options

There are a number of healthy fat options to choose from. Start small with a half a teaspoon (or less) to help your body get used to ingesting tea with fat.

Once you’re used to it, you can include a teaspoon, tablespoon or more. And, choose one healthy fat or include a combination for added nutritional benefit. (And taste!)

Here are some options for you to choose from:

Butter
Coconut Oil
MCT Oil
Heavy Cream
Peanut Butter or Almond Butter

Keto Bulletproof Tea Recipe

1 Teabag
1/2 teaspoon to 1 Tablespoon Healthy Fat (as listed above)

Place a teabag into a mug and pour over recently boiled water from a kettle.
Allow the tea to brew for a couple of minutes, then remove the teabag.
Add in your health fat (or fats) of choice, mix really well to emulsify, then enjoy.

Keto Chocolate Smoothie Recipe

February 8, 2021 by Easy Keto Living

Keto Chocolate Smoothie Recipe – How to make the best easy low carb sugar free smoothies with almond milk and protein powder – with the video tutorial.

Keto Chocolate Smoothie

This Keto Chocolate Smoothie makes a brilliant low carb snack, breakfast or sweet treat.

As you’ll see from the video on this page, I used my handy Nutribullet to blend together the milkshake. I use mine every few days for making keto shakes and smoothies. You can even drink your treat straight from the blender cup! (Shop for Nutribullets on Amazon.)

Low Carb Smoothie Ingredients

Almond Milk – is my low carb milk of choice, you can use any keto milk instead, if you like.

Keto Protein Powder – you can use whatever protein powder you like, if you’d like to create a high protein smoothie. My protein powder is chocolate flavored, adding an extra chocolate element to the smoothie. (Shop keto protein powders on Amazon.)

Stevia – or your sweetener of choice to sweeten the smoothie.

Chia Seeds – to add healthy fiber and omega 3’s. (Read more about chia seeds on keto.)

Almond Butter – I adore including a teaspoon of almond butter in my keto smoothies because it adds in extra natural protein, healthy fats and makes it wonderfully creamy. You can swap the almond butter for peanut butter or another nut butter if you like. Or, just leave it out if you’d prefer.

Cocoa Powder – use cocoa or cacao powder for the chocolate element of the smoothie. I used about a half a tablespoon, in this instance, but you can add more to make it more rich and chocolatey. You could also add in a chopped or grated square of keto chocolate too.

How to make low carb smoothie with almond milk

Keto Chocolate Smoothie Recipe

1 Cup Almond Milk
1/2 to 1 Tablespoon/Scoop Keto Protein Powder
1 teaspoon Stevia
1-2 teaspoons Chia Seeds
1 teaspoon Almond Butter
1/2 to 1 Tablespoon Cocoa Powder

Place all of the ingredients into a high speed blender.
Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides and keep blending if needed.
Drink straight from the blender cup or pour into a glass and enjoy.

Keto Coleslaw Recipe

Keto Coleslaw Recipe – How to make easy 2 ingredient low carb creamy salad slaw with cabbage and sour cream dressing – with the video.

Keto Coleslaw Recipe

This Keto Coleslaw Recipe makes an easy, creamy low carb side or salad that has only 2 ingredient – cabbage and sour cream.

You can use any budget friendly cabbage you like and either grate or chop from a head of cabbage or buy already shredded cabbage to make an almost instant salad. (For more budget inspiration, here’s my cheap keto grocery list.)

I find sour cream to contain the perfect creamy, sour, tangy flavor that a coleslaw calls out for. Feel free to swap for keto friendly mayo, natural or Greek yogurt instead.

More Low Carb Slaw Ingredients

Here are more ideas for low carb ingredients to include in your slaw:

Lemon – zest or juice can be squeezed over.

Apple Cider Vinegar – drizzle over a teaspoon or more.

Stevia – to balance the sourness with some sweetness.

Garlic or Onion – briefly saute and then toss through your slaw.

Cheese – grated cheese, feta or crumbled goats cheese for a cheesy keto coleslaw.

Nuts or Seeds – toasted almonds, walnuts, pumpkin or sunflower seeds can be sprinkled over the salad for a nutty, crunchy element.

Salt & Pepper – or any other seasoning you like, to taste.

Keto Coleslaw Recipe

1/4 to 1/2 Head of Cabbage
1/4 to 1/2 Cup Sour Cream

Chop, peel or grate the cabbage, or use already shredded cabbage, and place it into a salad bowl.
Drizzle over the sour cream, a little at a time until it’s perfectly creamy.
You can add in your flavors, additional ingredients or seasoning of choice and toss well to combine.
Place in the fridge for a few hours to allow the flavors to develop, then serve.

Chia Seeds On Keto

February 5, 2021 by Easy Keto Living

Chia Seeds On Keto – net carbs in Chia Seeds, whether they are allowed on a Low Carb Keto Diet, benefits and a pudding recipe.

Chia Seeds On Keto

In this post you’ll discover whether it’s ok to eat chia seeds on keto, about how best to use chia seeds and what benefits you can gain with adding chia seeds into your diet.

Are Chia Seeds Allowed On Keto?

I’m often asked if chia seeds keto or low carb diet approved or not. And, the answer?

Yes! They are a high fiber, nutritional powerhouse and can definitely be included in your low carb, ketogenic diet and weight loss goals.

The best part is there are all kinds of chia pudding recipes.

Net Carbs In Chia Seeds

This ancient Aztec and Mayan superfood are the ultimate keto diet macro-nutrient dream as there is only 1 net carb in 2 tablespoons.

Each two tablespoon (1oz) portion provides about:

Grams of fat 9g
Grams of protein 5g
Grams of carbs 11g
Grams of fiber 10g
Grams of net carbs 1g

Pretty amazing right? These small, yet highly nutrient dense black seeds are the perfect addition if you want to add fibre to your keto diet as well as many other useful properties.

These little power packed black seeds come from both the Salvia hispanica and Salvia columbariae plants which are native to central and South Mexico, Guatemalaas well as the Southwestern USA.

What benefits are there in eating Chia Seeds?

In 2019 a fairly detailed study evaluating the nutrition profile and the health benefits of chia seeds. The results showed that chia seeds are:

Higher in Omega-3’s and fibre than flaxseeds
Full of different types of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties
Help regulate the hormone estrogen
Lower cholesterol
Natural prebiotic and probiotic
High is essential fatty acids (EFA)
Contain vitamins B1, B2, B3 – which help provide energy for the body
Helps with digestion
Potentially lead to increased glucose and insulin tolerance. Suggesting chia seeds help control your blood sugar levels
May even support the notion that chia seeds increase muscle mass production
Rich in potassium, magnesium, calcium, and manganese

Keto Chia Seed Pudding Recipe

To make a simple and delicious keto chia pudding, you’ll need on the following 2 simple ingredients for a full recipe:

2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
1/2 Cup Liquid – choose from unsweetened almond milk, cashew milk, keto yogurt, heavy cream or coconut milk

Combine the chia seeds and liquid together in a bowl, glass or mason jar. Place into the fridge for a few hours or overnight to thicken, then enjoy as is or with your low carb toppings of choice.

I like to include full-fat coconut milk, heavy cream or heavy whipping cream to ensure the keto pudding includes a portion of healthy fats. You can meal prep the simple treat as a great breakfast, healthy snack or keto dessert.

Toppings Ideas

There are loads of ingredients you can mix through or add as toppings for your easy keto chia pudding recipe. Here are some easy ideas for you:

1/2 to 1 teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder for a chocolate chia pudding
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Lemon juice or lemon zest for a lemon chia pudding
Fresh fruit or frozen berries (or any fruit!)
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon and sugar/maple syrup
1/2 to 1 teaspoon Sugar, sugar free sweetener, maple syrup, monk fruit or your keto sweeteners of choice for sweetness
Nuts, seeds such as sunflower seeds, peanut butter, almond butter or any other nut butters
Chia Seed Jam or sugar free jam
Coconut flakes
Protein powder

Keto Easter Dessert Recipe

February 4, 2021 by Easy Keto Living

Keto Easter Dessert Recipe – Easy Low Carb Sugar Free Chocolate Easter Candy Nests – How To Make Ketogenic Treat Desserts Recipes – with video.

Keto Easter Dessert Recipe

This Keto Easter Dessert Recipe is quick to make and is a tasty treat that will keep you on plan and help you resist temptation over the Easter period, especially a tempting chocolate Easter bunny or hot cross buns.

This keto recipe is my version of chocolate Easter nests, peanut butter eggs or Easter baskets.

Instead of using carby ingredients, I’ve gone for the healthier option of including simple ingredients of nuts, coconut and peanut butter to construct the tasty treats, instead of white sugars that you’ll often find in similar Easter classic recipes like an Easter basket.

The ketogenic diet nests need to made ahead of time and then you can just store them in a container in the fridge to enjoy whenever sweet cravings strike.

Plus, they are low in net carbs and loaded with healthy fats and protein, so that are actually good for you and perfect to include in your keto meal plan. (As opposed to sugar loaded carb full traditional Easter eggs!)

The best part is that you only need minutes of prep time to create these perfect keto Easter dessert treat, that you can really enjoy any time of year because they are so much fun to make and a delightful low carb dessert to enjoy.

To make the dark chocolate nests is easy. Simply mix together the dry ingredients of flaked almonds and coconut in a medium bowl. I’d suggest using the flaked almond in the easy recipe and avoiding the temptation to swap for almond flour or coconut flour.

Then, melt the peanut butter, butter, cocoa powder and stevia together until smooth and creamy. Feel free to swap the stevia for monk fruit sweetener or your keto friendly sugar free sweetener of choice.

You can enhance the flavor of the sweet treats by adding in a pinch of sea salt or half a teaspoon of vanilla extract. You can stir sugar free chocolate chips or keto sprinkles through the mixture for extra indulgent homemade keto treats.

Pour the wet ingredients mixture over the bowl with the nuts and then drop a couple of spoons into cupcake liners lined up on a baking sheet. (Like these on Amazon.)

Then just pop them into the fridge for a few hours to harden and enjoy over the Easter season or anytime you’re craving a no bake treat on your Keto journey.

You can enjoy a couple as a delicious breakfast or Easter brunch with a cup of Keto coffee, tea or hot chocolate or serve following your Easter meal as the perfect treat that the whole family will happily devour.

The great dessert will also satisfy your sweet tooth and help you on your way to achieving your health and weight loss goals.

How to make easy low carb sugar free treats

Keto Easter Dessert Recipe

1 Cup Flaked Almonds

Kombucha On Keto

February 1, 2021 by Easy Keto Living

Kombucha On Keto – Tips for whether to include Kombucha in your low carb sugar free ketogenic diet – discussing how many carbs are in kombucha, benefits and whether it’s allowed on Keto.

Kombucha On Keto

In this post, you’ll learn not only about how to include Kombucha tea on a keto lifestyle. You’ll also learn what kombucha is and the health benefits of kombucha so you can decide if having kombucha is the best thing for you on your low carb diet.

It’s funny to think that drinking kombucha nowadays is no longer considered “weird” or “unusual” as it once way. Thanks mainly to the health benefits that have been promoted and in part to the large array of kombucha brands selling bottled kombucha in todays market.

As it happens kombucha is not only is good for you, it happens to have a tasty tangy natural flavour.

So what is Kombucha? Should you drink it and how many carbs are in a bottle?

What is Kombucha?

Kombucha is a fermented tea or sweet tea made from a Symbiotic Consortium Of Bacteria and Yeasts commonly called a SCOBY.

By adding sugar to lactic acid bacteria (LAB), acetic acid bacteria (AAB), and yeast, it ferments over time or changes it’s structure and function becoming a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast – SCOBY. (Shop for a SCOBY on Amazon.)

With the SCOBY the first thing you add is brewed tea (normally green tea or black tea) and flavor (such as apple or lemon) and sugar for the SCOBY (and optional added fruit) to ferment for a period of time (1- 4 weeks usually) becoming the fermented tea drink we know as Kombucha.

Here’s a video showing you how to make Kombucha from scratch at home.

How many carbs are in Kombucha

While the nutritional information may vary depending on the store-bought kombucha variety you buy, below you’ll find the typical nutrition label content based on one cup (247g) of kombucha.

Calories 34
Total Fat 0.6g (saturated fat 0.1g)
Total grams of carbohydrates 5.8g
Dietary fiber 1.9g
Grams of net carbs (Total carbs – fiber) 3.9g
Grams of Sugar 2.1g

There are about 6-12 grams of carbs in a typical bottle of kombucha. This depends on the store-bought brands you choose, so please read the nutritional label carefully before buying.

Some grocery store bought brands may have a second fermentation process which can add added sugar so watch out for those and check how much sugar it really contains.

If you have homemade kombucha it tends to have a longer the fermentation time, the (normally) lower the sugar levels so in turn fewer carbs. Just be careful with your amount so you keep to your total net daily carb intake.

Is kombucha allowed on a Keto diet?

Yes and No. It depends on your own low-carb diet goals, how you allocate your carb content and what brand and flavour you choose.

If you do decide to purchase a store-bought kombucha just double check to see the carb content meets your own personal goals and buy a keto-friendly kombucha variety.

What to look out for in a bottle of Kombucha?

Apart from the carb content here is what to look out for when choosing a store bought bottle of Kombucha.

Refrigerated – As Kombucha is live it needs to be kept in the fridge to maintain the health goodness it can provide.

Ingredients – The only ingredients your bottle should contain are water, tea, sugar and culture (unless flavoured). No fruit Juice should be added!

Raw – No pasteurised or filtered varieties as further processing can reduce good bacteria and potentially lessen the benefits kombucha could do for your overall health.

Use by date – Check whether the kombucha is in date as it only has a short shelf-life if its genuine kombucha.

Benefits Of Kombucha On Keto

In general fermented food improves your microbe gut composition or more simply put improves your gut health. The good news is kombucha being a fermented tea drink is no different. Plus it may also help shed some weight due to the way kombucha interacts with your fat stores.

In fact drinking Kombucha has been shown in various studies to show:

Improvements in digestive health due to increase in healthy bacteria. Positive influences in cardiovascular health, weight loss as well as metabolic health and increased bone density (Source.)

Kombucha has been associated with increases of potassium, calcium iron manganese nickel and zinc which may help reduce fat reserves and improve your metabolic state.

Some potential benefits with reducing arthritis and have other anti-inflammatory effectsKombucha may have a decent source of water-soluble vitamins such as vitamin C, vitamin B, and vitamin B2, Blood sugar levels may decrease with regular kombucha intake (within moderation).

Reduce antioxidants, boost immunity, decrease triglycerides in the blood. Anti-viral effects by promoting naturally occurring antibodies and may even help with type two diabetes (Source.)

For keto dieters or those on a high-fat diet this fermented drink has a great flavor and can be beneficial for your immune system.

While some people are concerned that it contains alcohol, in reality the alcohol content of kombucha is only a 0.5%. Technically making it a non-alcoholic beverage. Letting you enjoy a flavorsome drink without the extra sugar or any artificial sweeteners. Yet keep to your ideal number of carbs.

Keto Mascarpone Dessert

Keto Mascarpone Dessert Recipe – How to make an easy creamy 3 ingredient low carb chocolate mousse without eggs or gelatin – with the video.

Keto Mascarpone Dessert

This Keto Mascarpone Dessert is an easy 3 ingredient low carb chocolate mousse that’s dark and decadent.

Using mascarpone creates a light, airy, super creamy mousse without the need for gelatin or eggs.

To make the easy dessert, you only need 3 ingredients:

Keto Chocolate – you can use any low carb, sugar free chocolate you like. I tend to find that 85% or 90% is usually keto friendly. (Like this one on Amazon.)

Cream – use heavy, whipping or double cream – really any cream that you can whisk into airy whipped cream is perfect.

Mascarpone Cheese – light mascarpone cheese is usually used in desserts like tiramisu and creates a wonderfully creamy and rich sweet treat.

Folding mascarpone and cream into chocolate

Keto Mascarpone Chocolate Mousse Recipe

100g/3.5 Ounces Keto Chocolate
2 Tablespoons Cream
1/2 Cup Mascarpone Cheese
1 Cup Cream

Place the chocolate and 2 tablespoons of cream into a small saucepan on the stove top over medium heat.
Cook until the chocolate is melted then pour it into a bowl.
Using a wire whisk, gently whisk the mascarpone into the melted chocolate mixture until smooth and creamy.
Get out a second mixing bowl and pour the cream into it.
Using electric beaters, whisk the cream until it becomes thickened whipped cream.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mascarpone mixture until it’s fully incorporated and you have a creamy chocolate mousse.
Move the chocolate mousse into a serving dish, refrigerate for a few hours, then enjoy.
