Keto Crispy Chicken Thighs Recipe – How to make the best easy low carb diet oven baked extra crisp ketogenic chicken dinner – with the video.

Keto Crispy Chicken Thighs

These keto crispy chicken thighs are super easy to make and the method creates extra crispy skin that’s perfectly tender within. The entire family will adore this simple recipe that’s pure comfort food with amazing flavor.

I like to keep it simple and just smother the thighs in olive oil, then shake over plenty of salt and paprika.

You can add on onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning or any other seasoning or fresh herbs you like. You could also swap the oil for avocado oil or any oil you like.

You can bake the keto meal on it’s own or add in some vegetables to roast too. I tend to just pop in a handful of unpeeled garlic cloves that add fragrance and then my Husband and I just enjoy them whole with the chicken.

You can use boneless chicken thighs in keto chicken thigh recipes or include bone in thighs as I’ve use in the easy recipe. Another option is to use chicken wings, drumsticks or your chicken piece of choice that’s budget friendly. (Here are more cheap keto meals.)

If making with bone in chicken, then just save leftover chicken bones for making chicken broth or chicken soup, so nothing goes to waste.

Here are some ideas for keto diet friendly sides to serve with the dinner:

Keto Crispy Chicken Thighs Recipe

1kg/2.2lbs Chicken Thighs
2-4 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper, to taste
Paprika

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F and get out a large oven proof dish or well lined baking sheet.
Place the chicken into the oven proof dish in a single layer, drizzle over the oil and toss the chicken well to cover in the oil.
Shake over salt and paprika and toss the chicken once again, moving them all to be skin side down.
You can shake over more salt and paprika, plus your seasoning of choice then move to the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven, turn the chicken over so that all of the pieces are skin side up and return to the oven for a final 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and you have crisp skin to your liking. Serve with your sides of choice or sour cream for dipping.

Keto Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

February 21, 2021 by Easy Keto Living

Keto Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe – Best Easy Low Carb Sugar Free Vanilla Icing – quick simple ketogenic desserts – with the video tutorial.

Keto Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

This keto cream cheese frosting recipe is quick and easy to whip together and is perfect to enjoy with low carb cakes, cupcakes, to sandwich cookies together – or by the spoon full!

Keto Powdered Sugar – the trick to super smooth icing is using powdered or icing sugar. Thankfully a keto friendly version is easy to find on Amazon. (Find it here.)

For an even smoother frosting, sieve the sugar so that there are absolutely no lumps.

Ensure that the cream cheese and butter is sufficiently softened by being out the fridge for a few hours before using, so that the frosting will whip up easily and be luxuriously creamy.

I’ve kept the frosting vanilla flavored by including vanilla extract, you could add lemon zest or juice for lemon flavored frosting or a couple of tablespoons of cocoa powder for chocolate icing.

Keto Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

100g/3.5oz Cream Cheese, softened
50g Unsalted Butter, softened
1/2 to 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2-4 Tablespoons Keto Powdered Sugar

Place the softened cream cheese and butter in a large bowl, then, using electric beaters, whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla and whisk in.
Add the keto sugar and whisk in until fully combined.
Use straight away or place in the fridge for a few hours to harden, if need be. Store in the fridge, ideally in a sealed container, and enjoy within 4 to 5 days.

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 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. It’s a great piece of equipment to help you stay on track.

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 such as coconut milk or cashew milk.

Keto Protein Powder – you can use whatever protein powder you like, if you’d like to create a high protein smoothie, just make sure you read the ingredients and nutritional panel carefully to look out for any hidden sugars or carbs.

My protein powder is chocolate flavored, adding an extra chocolate element to the smoothie. (Shop keto protein powders on Amazon.)

Stevia – blend through stevia or your keto friendly sweetener of choice to sweeten the smoothie to your tastes.

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 for an extra indulgent shake.

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

February 7, 2021 by Easy Keto Living

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.
