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
1/2 Cup Shredded Coconut
1/2 Cup Peanut Butter
50g/1.76 ounces Unsalted Butter or 1/4 Cup Coconut Oil For Dairy Free
1/3 to 1/2 Cup Stevia or your Low Carb Sweetener Of Choice
1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder

To make the fun keto sweets, fill a plate with cupcake liners.
In a bowl, place flaked almonds and coconut and mix well.
In a small saucepan, combine together the peanut butter, butter or coconut oil, stevia and cocoa powder.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the butter has melted and mixture is smooth and creamy.
Pour the chocolate peanut butter mixture over the almond mixture in the bowl.
Stir until it all comes together.
Get out the cupcake liners and drop a tablespoon or two per nest.
Once the cupcake liners are full, move it to the fridge and allow the nests to harden in the fridge for a few hours.
Store in the fridge and enjoy at your Easter celebration for a treat that’s low in g net carbs.

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.

As you can tell there are countless benefits of including Kombucha in your keto diet and with the right portion control it may well in time be your favourite beverage.

Keto Mascarpone Dessert

January 31, 2021 by Easy Keto Living

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.

Keto Truffles Recipe

January 28, 2021 by Easy Keto Living

Keto Truffles Recipe – How to make the best easy 3 ingredient low carb no bake chocolate dessert truffle bites with the video.

Keto Truffles Recipe

These easy keto truffles have only 3 ingredients and make a decadent chocolate dessert that you can enjoy without blowing your macros for the day in a single mouthful. (Here are more easy keto desserts that actually taste good.)

The dessert is super easy and fuss free, you simply pour the batter into a square tin and then cut into truffles, instead of the fiddly step of rolling truffles, like in my other keto chocolate truffles recipe.

Here are the three ingredients you’ll need:

Keto Chocolate – use 85%, 90% or higher dark chocolate (like this chocolate on Amazon) to be sure that the truffles are low carb and keto friendly.

I enjoy the truffles with a dark chocolate flavor, so don’t add any sweetness, but you can feel free to add in stevia, or your sweetener of choice, to sweeten the dessert if you’d like.

Butter – you can use unsalted or salted butter in these truffles. I find that salted butter adds a cultured, rounded flavor, perfectly balancing the richness of the dessert. You could also use unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt for the same effect.

Cream – as you’re heating and not whipping the cream, you don’t need to worry about using any specific type of cream. So, just use whatever cream you already have in your fridge.

You can go beyond the three ingredients if you’d like, and add your choice from the following flavors to infuse the truffles with or dust them with when they are ready.

Vanilla
Peppermint Extract
Orange Extract
Salt
Shredded Coconut
Cocoa Powder
Grated Chocolate

How to make easy 3 ingredient chocolate truffles - low carb keto dessert

Keto Truffles Recipe

8.8oz/250g Keto Chocolate
1 Tablespoon Butter
3/4 Cup Cream

Get out a square baking tin or dish, line it with parchment baking paper and grease it well.
Break the chocolate into small pieces and move them to a large bowl.
Place the butter and cream into a small saucepan on the stove top over medium heat.
Bring the cream and butter mixture up to simmering point, then remove from the heat.
Pour the heated cream over the chopped chocolate and stir until smooth and glossy.
Pour the truffle mixture into the prepared square dish, smoothing the top until it’s even.
Allow to cool, then move to the fridge for a few hours to harden and set completely.
Once set, remove from the fridge and cut into truffle squares. Keep stored in the fridge and enjoy.

Some of the best easy keto meals are made quickly to enjoy start away, others require a bit of pre-prep, which you can do over the weekend or when you have time earlier in the day to prep for dinner tonight.

Steak

You can make a main dish of a steak dinner, with mushroom sauce as the keto side dish or pre cook the easy recipe and have it ready and waiting in the fridge to turn into a steak salad for dinner.

Zucchini Noodles

I like to call this meal 2 Minute Zoodles, because it comes together as quickly as carby noodles with a similar name, but is low in net carbs and high in healthy fats.

All you need is zucchini that you spiralize into noodles. (You’ll need a spiralizer for that, here’s a selection of spiralizers on Amazon.)

Then heat the quick-cooking veggie in a creamy garlic sauce. You can add in a tin of tuna or grated parmesan cheese for flavor and your quick keto dinner is on the table in mere minutes.

Low Carb Salad

Make ahead an easy keto salad that can marinate in the fridge and be enjoyed instantly for dinner. Or, keep keto salad ingredients to hand to quickly throw together at dinner time.

Keto Chocolate Self Saucing Pudding Dessert

This Keto Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding is a warm, rich chocolate dessert with a brownie-like top and gooey chocolate sauce underneath.

It’s an easy low-carb dessert made with simple ingredients including coconut flour, cocoa powder, butter, egg and your favorite keto-friendly sweetener. The chocolate sauce forms underneath the pudding as it bakes, giving you two delicious layers from one simple mixture.

Serve this keto chocolate pudding warm from the oven with whipped cream, heavy cream or your favorite low-carb ice cream for an indulgent dessert that’s perfect for chilly evenings.

Why You’ll Love This Keto Chocolate Pudding

Warm and gooey: The pudding develops a soft, brownie-like top with a rich chocolate sauce underneath as it bakes.
Easy to make: There’s no complicated preparation or special equipment needed.
Made with simple ingredients: Butter, coconut flour, cocoa powder, egg and a keto-friendly sweetener form the base of this dessert.
Perfect for chocolate lovers: The cocoa powder gives the pudding a rich chocolate flavor without adding sugar.
A great make-at-home dessert: It’s especially delicious served warm with whipped cream or low-carb ice cream.
Naturally portionable: Bake it in one dish and spoon out individual servings when you’re ready to enjoy it.

How To Make Low Carb Self Saucing Pudding

The chocolate dessert is easy to prepare, start by preheating the oven and greasing an oven proof dish really well to prevent the pudding sticking.

Pop the kettle on because you’ll need a cup of boiling water just before the pudding goes into the oven.

Melt the butter in the microwave or in a small pot over medium heat, and mix through the milk, vanilla and egg until fully combined.

Combine the coconut flour, baking powder, stevia, cocoa powder and salt in a bowl. You can sieve the ingredients for a super smooth low-carb chocolate pudding.

Stevia is my sweetener of choice in keto desserts, but you can feel free to swap for any sugar free sweetener you like including sugar free maple syrup, powdered sweetener or monk fruit sweetener.

Mixing ingredients together for keto chocolate self saucing pudding

Pour the melted butter mixture over the flour bowl and mix until fully incorporated and you have a chocolatey pudding batter.

You can either do this with a wire whisk or an electric mixer, depending what you have to hand.

Move the homemade chocolate pudding batter to the prepared baking dish, then sprinkle the topping of stevia and cocoa powder over the top of the pudding.

Keto Chocolate Pudding Dessert Recipe ready for oven

Pour the cup of boiling water over the pudding and place into the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until it’s set to your liking. I like mine brownie like on top and gooey on the bottom.

You can enjoy the ketogenic diet pudding as it is or with whipped heavy cream, coconut cream or ice cream, which I really enjoy for the sublime warm and cold dessert experience, that’s sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

How Does This Keto Chocolate Pudding Become Self-Saucing?

The magic happens when the cocoa powder and sweetener topping are covered with boiling water before baking.

As the pudding bakes, the water moves through the topping and combines with the cocoa mixture underneath the batter. This creates a rich chocolate sauce beneath the soft, brownie-like pudding.

Don’t stir the boiling water into the batter. Simply pour it gently and evenly over the top before placing the dish in the oven.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this chocolate pudding keto?

Yes. This is a keto-friendly chocolate pudding made with coconut flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, butter, egg and a keto-friendly sweetener. It is baked as a self-saucing pudding, so you get a soft chocolate pudding with a rich sauce underneath.

What is keto self-saucing pudding?

Keto self-saucing pudding is a low-carb version of the classic self-saucing chocolate pudding. A cocoa and sweetener topping is covered with boiling water before baking, creating a rich chocolate sauce underneath the pudding as it cooks.

How do you make keto chocolate pudding?

To make this keto chocolate pudding, combine the melted butter with milk, vanilla and egg, then mix with coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and keto-friendly sweetener. Transfer the batter to a baking dish, add the cocoa and sweetener topping, pour over boiling water and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

Can I use almond flour instead of coconut flour?

I don’t recommend substituting almond flour for the coconut flour in this recipe without changing the other ingredients. Coconut flour absorbs considerably more liquid than almond flour, so a straight substitution can change the texture and consistency of the pudding.

Can I use a different keto sweetener?

Yes. You can use another granulated keto-friendly sweetener, but sweetness and texture can vary between products. If you’re using pure stevia or another concentrated sweetener, follow the conversion instructions on the package rather than replacing it cup-for-cup.

How do I know when the chocolate pudding is done?

The top should look set and cake-like while the bottom remains soft and saucy. I like this pudding when the top has a brownie-like texture and there is still plenty of chocolate sauce underneath.

Can I make this keto pudding ahead of time?

This pudding is best served warm from the oven. If you have leftovers, refrigerate them in a covered container and gently reheat individual portions before serving.

What can I serve with keto chocolate pudding?

Try serving it warm with whipped heavy cream, sugar-free whipped cream or a keto-friendly ice cream. The contrast between the warm chocolate pudding and a cool creamy topping is particularly delicious.

How should I store leftover keto chocolate pudding?

Allow the pudding to cool, then cover and refrigerate leftovers. Reheat individual portions gently before serving. The texture of the sauce may change slightly after refrigeration, but it will still make a delicious chocolate dessert.

Recommended Products

A few simple kitchen staples make this keto chocolate self-saucing pudding easy to prepare:

Coconut Flour – Coconut flour is the flour used in this recipe. Because it absorbs considerably more liquid than regular flour, use the amount specified in the recipe rather than substituting it cup-for-cup with another flour.

Unsweetened Cocoa Powder – A good unsweetened cocoa powder gives the pudding its rich chocolate flavor and is also used in the self-saucing chocolate topping.

Measuring Cups and Spoons – Accurate measurements are particularly useful when baking with coconut flour, as small changes in the amount of flour or liquid can affect the final texture.

Baking Dish – A medium oven-safe baking dish works well for this pudding. Choose one that gives the batter enough room to rise while leaving space for the chocolate sauce to form underneath.

Wire Whisk – A basic wire whisk is all you need to combine the wet and dry ingredients and make the pudding batter.
