Low Carb Coconut Flour Pizza Crust

Low Carb Coconut Flour Pizza Crust

So, this lchf (low carb high fat) pizza crust isn’t chewy or crispy – it’s more dense and a little fluffy (does that even make sense?), but it holds together well, stands up to toppings, and doesn’t contain almonds (to which I’m allergic!), like many keto crust almonds. It’s also way less labor intensive, and fewer net carbs than a cauliflower crust (for a similar serving size)! Yay!

Low Carb Vegan Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake

Low Carb Vegan Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake

Published by Liz on August 30, 2015

I’m actually really excited about this recipe for a few reasons:

  1. It’s vegan – I’m sure you guys know how hard it is to find vegan keto recipes!
  2. It’s detox city – Brazil nuts supply heaps of selenium, which is an antioxidant and heavy metal detoxifier, as well as a necessary co-factor in thyroid function. So much win.
  3. There are no sweeteners! Wha??? A dessert recipe with no sweeteners? Truth. The first iteration of this recipe had stevia, but honestly tasted kind of strange. So, I added a bit more seasoning and omitted the stevia. This was a good move

Is a Vegan Keto Diet Possible?

Published by Liz on August 24, 2015

Is a vegan keto diet possible? Looking around the Internet at various LCHF, keto and general low carb blogs, one might be inclined to think that the whole low carb movement revolves around animal protein. Most low carb sites seem to be a shrine to bacon, eggs and steak – with a little broccoli thrown in for good measure.

Well, my friends, there is a different side to a low carb lifestyle. A dairy- and egg-free side that doesn’t require a slice of ham with every meal. My name is Liz, and I’m here to say that yes, you CAN eat a vegan keto diet!

How? Well, let me share with you some of what I ate. I ended up eating about 30 net grams of carbs per day, as it was hard to keep that number down without just drinking oil, but it was certainly a delicious experience. Continue reading Is a Vegan Keto Diet Possible?

Low Carb Pumpkin Spice Protein Bars | Meat Free Keto - gluten free, grain free, sugar free

I know – it’s not really pumpkin season yet. I’m fine with that – I just really, really like pumpkin and all things pumpkin spice. No harm in that!

So, after making the No Bake Pumpkin Spice Cheesecakes, I decided it was time for something a little more portable. Maybe something I could bring to work, or have for breakfast that wasn’t an egg cup. Enter these low carb pumpkin spice protein bars. They’re baked, so they’re a little cakier than the protein bars I’ve made in the past, but still delicious! Continue reading Low Carb Pumpkin Spice Protein Bars
