Low Carb /Keto Coffee Ice Cream

This Low Carb /Keto Coffee Ice Cream is ridiculously creamy and fragrant. Plus, it won’t freeze rock solid, like your usual homemade low carb ice cream! Moreover, this is Guilt free which will help your macros under control .

I used to love chocolate , vanilla , coffee ice cream since childhood. Any moment I felt like celebrating , ice-cream was one of my favorite go to. An year back when I decided to switch to low carb/Keto diet for keeping healthy lifestyle , I started missing all the desserts which I used to enjoy a lot!!!

So I came up with this recipe which helped me in maintaining state of ketosis. If you are wondering what is KETO diet , you check here. It was a long journey to adjust in this new way of lifestyle change, I have created a blog for that also, it describes how you can start a keto diet as a beginner . Many people have few misconceptions about themselves that they cannot loose weight irrespective of anything because they have Obesity as a genetic factor in their family. So just to clarify your doubt this is not true, you can check complete details here .

Long Sweet History :

• According to IDFA, Ice cream’s origins reach back as far as the second century B.C., although no specific date of origin nor inventor has been indisputably credited with its discovery.
• Alexander the Great enjoyed snow and ice flavored with honey and nectar.
• Biblical references also show that King Solomon was fond of iced drinks during harvesting.
• During the Roman Empire, Nero Claudius Caesar (A.D. 54-86) frequently sent runners into the mountains for snow, which was then flavored with fruits and juices.

With time, ice cream evolved and eventually it’s ingredients. It has changed in such a rapid way that today most of the ice-creams are made with processed food like condensed milk / sugar /artificial flavours which has drastically impacted today’s health. And the fun fact is that most of the people are not aware of such changes in their day to day life .

BUT with few Keto friendly ingredients we can actually make a delicious healthy ice cream , with no preservatives!!!! So here is my take on the classic.

Egg sandwich has been a part of my life and this simple Egg Sandwich spread recipe is one of my versions.

Apart from egg white which has great protein value,  Egg Yolk has great many things and here is a short list some of the great things that’s it can do for you:

Low Carb & Keto EggNog Coffee

To kick off the holiday cheer I’ve got one of our favorites: a ridiculously creamy and velvety sugar-free Low Carb & Keto EggNog Coffee . This holiday season, I say let’s skip the store-bought cartons and additive-laden jugs. Have our eggnog the old-fashioned way: with real eggs. This stuff is incredible, and it couldn’t be easier to make. And if you’re anything like me, its taste will be enough to swoon you back to Christmas past. And definitely not in an Ebenezer Scrooge sort of way!

Eggnog is thought to be around since the late 1600s. And whether you enjoy it warm or chilled, spiked or virgin, creamy or frothy, this keto recipe will cover all your bases.

Keto diet is something which requires a lot of fat intake for energy production instead of carbohydrates. Check details here. So I created my own versions of lowcarb & keto eggnog coffee to enjoy my Keto Journey, even in holidays.

Why Low Carb & Keto EggNog Coffee??

• Immensely regulated my hormones to next level.
• no panicking, no menstrual cramps, no mood swings and no late night sad over eating.

I can tell you that it was never a smooth journey. Having people around who loves sugar cookie, late night parties , sweets as in their words, it is sense of lovingness in life which comes from food. I have seen  health issues like low BP, fatigue ,no energy  and feeling of emptiness throughout my past years. Even though my weight was ok based on my BMI , but I never felt awesome, even in holidays. I loved being at home lonely and not feeling like talking to anyone and watching sad movies.

BUT today, I am the happiest person, who enjoys every moment of life, and take decisions stress free with no more mood swings.

Initial phase was the worst one because when I started there was not much information out there about keto cramps, you can check details here
Also I figure out that before starting keto, these are really important points that everyone should know.

It’s true that even today I get sugar craving which i satisfy by having keto desserts.

I love having Starbucks coffee but I have realized that its expensive so I created my own version of Keto EggNog coffee.

I hope you guys enjoy my version guilt free this winter with your loved one.

Let me know if you guys have any questions, or would like to share your version of coffee.

Egg Nog Coffee

   Mix all ingredients in mixer grinder

Low Carb Tortillas / Chapati

Mexican/Indian food are one of the most loved and tasty food in this whole world, personally I am a big fan of both of them. This week I did some experiments as my urge to try street style food was not on halt. So I tried my version of Low Carb Tortillas / Chapati while maintaining Keto macros. I know there are tons of recipes on insta but most failed to impress me. And what’s life without some innovations, right ?

I know many people start Keto diet but fall of the wagon in between since they feel they have to sacrifice a lot for their favourite food, so my friend this recipe is for you, check other recipes here .

Regular wheat / corn flour contains too much carbohydrates , which kicks you out of Ketosis. Even single bite can do the damage. If you want to get back into Ketosis fast , you can do IF, check here for details.

The Benefits of Almond Flour

Almond flour is one of the best alternative for Keto diet which helps you in maintaining macro’s . 2 tbsp. of flour has 3 gm of Carbs which is amazing !!! If you want to check more details about nuts nutrient contents, see here .

Note:- Coconut flour is one of the alternative but is difficult to bind , so you can use physillium husk with that. Check more Keto flours here

why should we use Almond flour:

1. High in riboflavin, manganese and copper, helps in improving energy level.
2. Helps maintaining healthy weight .
3. According to the study’s published,almond flour consumption can decrease the risk of colon cancer and almonds’ high healthy fat content is related to its anticancer ability.

Brussels Sprouts With Bacon

Everything tastes better with bacon and our roasted Brussels sprouts are no exception. The oven-roasting process caramelizes and crisps the leaves, turning even hardcore carnivores into veggie lovers. When I made my first Brussels Sprouts with Bacon, my family was instantly hooked onto it and I wanted to share the love with my keto family.

Brussels sprouts and bacon are, in my humble opinion, one of the best food pairings of the modern era. Good-bye soggy, bitter, unwelcome side-dish of my childhood — oven-roasted brussels sprouts are perfectly crispy, tender, and delicious. The bacon just adds a whole new level of crispy, savory delight.

And when this pair come together as an oven-roasted hash topped with fried eggs? Hello, breakfast heaven!

Brussels sprouts are not exactly low in carbs.

• A single serving of 85 grams clocks in at 5 net carbs (8 grams of carbs minus 3 grams of fiber).
• This doesn’t mean that they’re off the Keto menu, though! When paired with carb-free foods like bacon and eggs, they can make for a perfect Keto meal.

Long live brussels sprouts and bacon!

The best part about this breakfast (besides the part where it includes brussels sprouts and bacon and eggs) is that it only takes minutes to prepare. And while your hash roasts, you can clean up the kitchen, cook up your eggs, and be ready to go!

(anyone else love having the kitchen cleaned before they eat the meal, or is that just me?)

And before we begin , remember you are master of your bacon and brussels, so feel free to throw in your favorite garlic, ginger and other spices. I an more of a traditional gal to I stick to what my mom taught. So here you go!!! enjoy..

Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Bacon

Creamy Parmesan Spinach

Essential part of being healthy with respect to any type of diet (KETO / Paleo /Low Carb etc. ) is to consume fresh and organic whole foods as much as possible!! One of the best low carb food is tender and fresh spinach which is an excellent ingredient in both hot and cold dishes. Adding some parmesan cheese to make a nice Creamy Parmesan Spinach dish would make up for a complete low carb dish for a date night.

Most of the people face inflammation because they over cook their food. Unhealthy eating can be one of the reason for weight gain.

Dark green leafy vegetables are one of the best friends of people facing issues with their health, check vegetables details here for more information.

A diet high in whole foods and low in preservatives and healthy fats is the essential key to Ketogenic life. They not only help in reducing inflammation but also support proper functioning of muscle and hormonal/bone health. If you inspire to know more about KETO recipes, check here

Health Benefits of spinach

1. Spinach is among one of the most minerals and vitamin rich veggies.
