Keto Peanut Butter and Coconut Balls

⭐ 4.6/5 (1488) 🔥 170 cal

These deliciously sweet Keto snack balls make a great low carb treat to have on hand - ready to grab and go! Our Keto snack balls are prepared with ground almonds, desiccated coconut, unsweetened cocoa powder, low carb sweetener and crunchy peanut butter. These are a quick and easy low carb treat the whole family can enjoy and will help keep away any cravings for sweets. We have used crunchy peanut butter for this sweet Keto snack recipe to provide added texture and bite. When selecting a Keto-friendly peanut butter, look for a natural option that is free from added sugars. If preferred, you may use smooth peanut butter in place of crunchy for a smoother texture. If you would prefer to not use peanut butter, then you may substitute with an alternative low carb friendly nut butter. Almond butter would make a great substitution. The key is to find a firm nut butter that is strong enough to bind and hold the other ingredients. Avoid using nut butters that are overly soft and runny as the mixture may not be firm enough to shape and roll. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe. We have used a little erythritol to sweeten our Keto-friendly snack recipe. You may swap this for your preferred low carb sweetener, adjusting the quantities according to taste.

Keto Oaxacan Lemonade Cocktail

⭐ 4.6/5 (2157) 🔥 30 cal

This may not necessarily be an authentic Mexican drink, but it sure is a fun way to celebrate with Keto Day of the Dead recipes. Many liquors are 100% Keto-friendly, and you can still enjoy fun cocktails without including added sugars. This Oaxacan lemonade was inspired by the Day of the Dead celebrations. Making the cocktail can be done in just a couple of minutes, and it 92s a fun way to enjoy your favorite liquor brands. Enjoy responsibly! You 92ll need to choose vodka and mezcal (tequila) that you like. This is a sipping cocktail, so the flavors of the alcohol are prominent! A base of plain vodka is enhanced by the natural smokiness of mezcal. The cocktail is shaken with a mixture of lemon, cilantro, and natural low-carb sweeteners before being poured into a frosty cold glass. If you 92re not finding 93mezcal 94 on the store shelves, don 92t worry. Tequila and mezcal are interchangeable in the recipe. Both tequila and mezcal are made from the Mexican agave plant. All tequilas can be categorized as mezcal, but mezcal includes a wider region of alcohol production outside of tequila. Mezcal that isn 92t tequila is often recognized for its smokier flavor. Using a drop of natural agave in the cocktail is a sweet way to keep the flavors of the drink cohesive, but you can substitute it with other Keto sweeteners. Use an 85 9b teaspoon of erythritol or a monk fruit blend sweetener in place of agave for a more Keto-friendly drink. If you don 92t mind the taste of stevia, you can even substitute it with additional drops instead of using agave. Make sure to choose the juiciest lemons you can find to make the recipe to ensure you 92re using the sweetest fruit instead of the most tart.

Shirataki noodles offer a keto-friendly alternative to traditional pasta. This recipe features them in a creamy, homemade pesto sauce, elevated with gouda cheese. Perfect as a side or a protein-topped main course. The pesto is made from scratch with fresh basil (jarred pesto is a substitute), parmesan, walnuts, garlic, and olive oil. This dish provides ample healthy fats, fitting seamlessly into a ketogenic diet. For a lighter meal, reduce the serving to ".5 cup"; otherwise, top the full portion with sliced chicken, steak, or roasted broccoli for a vegetarian option. Feel free to adjust the pesto recipe to your liking, incorporating spinach or broccoli for added nutrients. This recipe, however, remains faithful to the classic pesto preparation, using walnuts as an affordable alternative to pine nuts and relying on plenty of fresh basil for its signature green color. The focus is on a low-carb, high-fat pesto.

This Keto Thai fried rice recipe offers a delightful twist on the traditional dish, perfect as a side to any Asian-inspired meal.

Other berries like strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, or blueberries can replace cranberries, but lemon zest and extract should be used instead of orange if using blueberries or blackberries.
