Keto Milk Substitutes: The Best, the Worst, Tips, and Recipes

Keto Milk Substitutes: The Best, the Worst, Tips, and Recipes

With all of the butter, cheese, and heavy cream you can eat on the keto diet, it is easy to forget that dairy milk is packed with carbs and sugar (from lactose).  Because of this, milk is not a good drink to have on keto. This rings true for ALL dairy milks -- including whole, 1%, 2%, and skim -- each one being far from keto-friendly. That being said, there are plenty of low-carb milk alternatives you can easily find in any grocery store. Whether you want to cut carbs or dairy from your ...

The Guide to a Dairy Free Keto Diet

The Guide to a Dairy Free Keto Diet

Doesn't it seem like dairy is in everything? From keto recipes to high-carb snacks and candy, there's some kind of milk product in so many things that we eat. This isn't a problem if you're not allergic or intolerant to dairy at all, but what should you do if struggle with lactose or dairy proteins — especially when you are on a diet that typically consists of a lot of dairy like the ketogenic diet?

McKeto Strawberry Milkshake

McKeto Strawberry Milkshake

Growing up as a kid, I had my fair share of fast food takeout. Some of them I still miss to this day and try to recreate (a lot of the time in failure, but don't tell anyone). One of them that I was thinking about lately? McDonald's Strawberry Milkshake. Their disgustingly sweet syrup mixed into ice cream and served up to me in the nostalgic paper cup. Not the most beautiful thing to remember from my childhood, but it certainly holds something dear in my heart. Well, I think I've done it ...

Low Carb Chocolate Brownies

Low Carb Chocolate Brownies

I'm starting to get a little tired of seeing these amazing pictures online for what I think will be the greatest brownies of all time, spending a while in the kitchen, and then realizing that what I end up with is an almost paper-thin, crunchy, dry, and near inedible brownie (if you can even call it that). What you might think was cut off the top of what could have been great, the recipes I've been trying over the last few months just never came out how I wanted them to. So, I set out to create ...

Keto Crepes

Keto Crepes

Crepes are the perfect compromise between a thick, heavy pancake and a thin, soft tortilla. You can eat them by the stack, turn them into a breakfast wrap, or transform them into a uniquely satisfying dessert. However, along with pancakes and tortilla, traditional crepes rely on high-carb flours and sugary additions as well. This is why it’s best to make them yourself to keep your meal keto-friendly as you satisfy your crepe craving. Simply replace the all-purpose flour and sugar for ...

Keto Granola Cereal

Keto Granola Cereal

One crucial component of weight loss success is finding foods that are convenient, satisfying, and healthy. The perfect example of this is keto granola cereal. Not only is it a quick convenient keto meal, but each mouthful is fulfilling, flavorful, and filled with healthy fats, fiber, micronutrients, and health-promoting plant compounds. However, there is one problem: low-carb granola products can be expensive. Rather than letting my grocery bill climb, I decided to try making it myself. ...

The Best Nuts for Keto: Low Carb Nuts, Seeds & What to Avoid

The Best Nuts for Keto: Low Carb Nuts, Seeds & What to Avoid

Nuts are known for their vitamin, mineral, fiber, and healthy fat content. What is often overlooked, however, is how many carbs they add to the diet. Since nuts are designed by nature to provide nourishment for a new plant, each one comes with some net carbs in the form of starches and sugars. This is why it is crucial to consider the carb counts of each nut before you incorporate them into your keto lifestyle. To give you a better idea of the best nuts for keto, let's take a look at carbs ...

Mexican Food on the Keto Diet & Lifestyle

Mexican Food on the Keto Diet & Lifestyle

One of the most rewarding food journeys starts when we skip the tortillas, rice, and beans and dive deeper into the rich world of keto-friendly Mexican cuisine. From the Americanized versions of Tex-Mex, Cal-Mex, and New Mexico-style to authentic metropolitan and coastal Mexican cuisines,  you will find plenty of dishes that are full of flavor and low in carbs. However, it is crucial to be aware of what to eat and avoid before you try to satisfy your craving for these rich and fulfilling ...

Starbucks Drinks and Hacks for the Keto Diet

Starbucks Drinks and Hacks for the Keto Diet

Staying in ketosis when you're on the go can feel like an obstacle course, especially at Starbucks. Though many of the menu items sound like they may be keto-friendly, their nutrition labels tend to read more like a candy bar than a low-carb beverage. However, this doesn't mean that you have to give up on your favorite Starbucks drinks while you are on the keto diet. Instead, you can be your own at-home barista with the help of our ketoproof coffee options (like our Keto Pumpkin Pie Spice ...

Have Your Coffee Creamer and Stay Keto, Too

When you're on the keto diet, there are a number of familiar foods that you simply have to avoid if you want to continue experiencing rapid weight loss and the health benefits of ketosis. Unfortunately, even one sugary "cheat" can kick you out of ketosis and slow your progress. This is why it is crucial to replace those sugar-filled coffee additions -- such as coffee creamers, milk, and table sugar -- with keto-friendly substitutes and keto coffee creamers that give you all the flavors and ...
