Cook, stirring regularly, until the sauce thickens to a creamy spinach dish. Add on sour cream, mozzarella cheese or minced garlic to the cooked spinach as the perfect addition for extra flavor and healthy fats.

Keto Chocolate Whipped Cream Frosting Recipe – Easy Low Carb Homemade Chocolate Filling or Dessert which could also be enjoyed as a chocolate mousse!
This sweet treat is somewhere between a traditional frosting and a chocolate mousse, but leaning more towards something you’d frost or fill a tempting delight with.
Here’s how to make this easy Keto Chocolate Whippped Cream Frosting.
First, get out your ingredients – 1 Cup of Cream (you can use heavy or whipping cream), 1 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring, 1 tablespoon of stevia and 2 tablespoons of cacao powder. You can start with this volume of stevia and cacao and then add more to taste.
Next, pour the cream into a large bowl.
Then, whip the cream until you have thick, smooth peaks. You can do this by hand with a whisk if you want, but I prefer to use my hand mixer for this job.
Now to add the flavorings – vanilla and stevia go in first.
You’re probably best off sieving, with a small strainer, the cacao powder into the mixture, to avoid any cacao lumps.
Give the mixture another whisk, scraping down the sides to get it all fully incorporated.
Whisk until smooth and then taste and add more stevia or cacao powder to make your keto chocolate whipped cream sweeter or give it a darker chocolate flavor.
As you can tell, this really is an easy recipe. Now that you’ve made your frosting, what can you do with it? Well, apart from enjoying it by the spoonful, you could use it in place of frosting or icing on your favorite Keto sweet treat.
Or, you could serve it with berries or even sandwich a couple of keto chocolate chip cookies together with a dollop (or two) of frosting. The choice is yours!

Keto Avocado Feta Salad – Low Carb Avocado Salad Recipes with spinach and feta. The perfect Ketogenic lunch.
This simple salad is a combination of 3 Keto ingredients to create delicious results.
To make the Keto Avocado Salad, start with a bed of greens. You could use spinach, lettuce, kale or your nutritious leafy green of choice.
Next, add chopped avocado. As little or as much as you want – depending on your macros and tastes.
Finally, crumble over some feta – again, as much as you’d like to meet your macros.
What about dressing? Well, I enjoy this salad as is, but feel free to drizzle over your favourite low carb, high fat dressing. Or, you could simply drizzle over extra virgin olive oil or even avocado oil to raise the fat content even further.
You’ll discover that it’s easy to work out how to make an avocado salad. You just need to chop the avocado into bite sized pieces and combine it together with your salad greens of choice and other complementary ingredients. Sometimes, I’ve also added cucumber as it gives the perfect crunchy element when combined with spinach, feta and avocado.
As you can tell, this really is a simple salad, but the flavours work so well together. The creamy avocado and salty feta are a dream combination. Give it a try if you haven’t already!

7 Low Carb Crunchy Snacks – Quick and Easy Keto Snack Ideas to buy or make for when you’re after the crunch factor and want very low carb snacks.
Sometimes when you’re craving a keto snack you want something that will be wonderously crunchy and give the same savory experience as carby pretzels, crisps or chips, yet still be low carb.
Well, you’re in luck because today I have 7 low carb crunchy snack ideas for you.
Celery and Peppers make a wonderful, crunchy low carb snack. You can enjoy them on their own or with a dipping sauce or even some egg mayo.
This trendy is popular for a reason – it’s tasty, fibre rich, nutrient dense and low in carbs. You can buy these while on the go or make them yourself.
I LOVE making crispy salami by filling a parchment lined baking sheet with finely chopped salami and then cooking them in the oven until crispy. (15 to 20 minutes in a 180C/350F oven should do it!)
Pork rinds are a crunchy chip alternative that’s sooooooo crunchily satisftying yet so very low in carbs.
These are an AMAZING low carb crunchy snack. You simply heat a frying pan and when hot drop a tablespoon or so of grated cheese per chip.
Then it’s just a matter of being patient and allowing the cheese to melt and then crisp up.
I love using my red spot frying pan, because the spot changes colour to let me know the pan is perfectly hot enough and ready to have cheese dropped into it.
You can use any cheese or combination you like and add herbs and spices to taste.
Seaweed snacks are expectantly crunchy and another chip alternative that satisfies your savory craving without the carbs.
A handful of nuts or seeds is an easy to find and enjoy low carb crunchy snack.
My personal preference is Macadamia Nuts and it is a struggle to exercise portion control, but it’s a must to keep your carbs in check!

Keto Yogurt Breakfast Bowl – an easy low carb yoghurt breakfast idea that you can mix and match to suit your tastes and macros!
I LOVE eggs for breakfast most mornings on Keto, but sometimes I just feel like starting the day without an egg (or 2).
In those instances I create a keto yogurt breakfast bowl. When choosing a yogurt, your best bet is a greek, plain or natural variety without sugar or other added carbs.
If the yogurt you have found is low fat, then you can raise the fat content by mixing through some creamy, dreamy cream. Or, topping your creation with plenty of delicious whipped cream.
I usually top mine with a couple of teaspoons of chia seeds, which is a great source of low carb fibre plus a host of essential vitamins and minerals.
You can then sweeten your yogurt with stevia or your sweetener of choice and top it with your choice from the following toppings ideas:
