When it comes to keto, jam definitely isn't the first thing that pops into your head. But, making some new sweet sauces can definitely be within your grasp. To top it all off, you can add plenty of fats to really bring the macros up to par. We use MCT Oil here because of the liquid properties that it has. When you store the jam in the fridge, it will continue to stay as a sauce and not harden up (as it would if you used coconut oil). These's two main flavor components that I'd describe ...

No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Fat Bombs
I've been seeing a lot of pins on Pinterest for recipes on No Bake Oatmeal Power Bites. I wanted to create a keto friendly version, with a similar texture in mind. Because they're no bake, they're extremely simple to create and don't take much time or effort. Instead of using regular peanut butter, we opt to go with the powder due to the absorptive properties. The PB Fit powder really ties it all together, balancing the sweetness and chocolate out with a creamy and nutty flavor. The hemp ...

Keto Diet: Cost Breakdowns of Popular Recipes

Keto 5 Minute Caesar Dressing
I frequently get asked the question "How do I eat more fat?" While in a perfect world, you can eat globs of coconut oil off a spoon, it's just not that attractive of an offer to most ketoers out there. Instead, you can create a keto salad dressing, pack it on top of a salad full of greens (micronutrient filled), and enjoy to your hearts content! Instead of worrying about how many carbs a dressing has, or which to choose from - you could make your own in just about the same amount of time. ...

Crispy Tofu and Bok Choy Salad
Truth be told, I've never really had the opportunity to try tofu. It's always been on the list of things that seem like they'll be nasty if I tried them, or other people have told me the horror stories connected with it. But, I've got a pretty open mind and loved the idea of giving it a try with my own spin on it. Let me tell you - if you've never had tofu, or think you don't like it...you need to re-try it! Baked tofu is wonderful. Instead of the soft, gooey, flavorless mess that people ...

Keto Chicken Pad Thai
Sometimes we really miss going to a Thai restaurant and being able to sit down and enjoy the food. But, being keto we try to find ways around that and still be able to make food that plays to the cravings we have. Last night, Pad Thai was on the menu - and let me tell you - it was AMAZING! We inhaled the dish within minutes and felt so satisfied after - just like you would when eating a regular meal with normal pasta. Two things that really can't go wrong in a dish: delicious AND healthy. The ...

Keto Crispy Sesame Beef
This recipe for sesame crispy beef is the keto-fied version of a classic dish found in many Chinese restaurants. We keep it keto-friendly with the use of daikon noodles instead of rice, trading out the typical sirloin steak for a fattier cut, and using creative ways to achieve the sweet aspects. This dish, when cooked at your local Chinese restaurant, typically has some sweetness. In this recipe, stevia paired with rice wine vinegar and vegetables does the job of creating a bit of sweet ...

Traveling on Keto
Maintaining the keto way of eating while traveling: I can’t count the number of times that I've been e-mailed, messaged, or asked about this topic. It’s a common factor that when people travel, they’re just not sure if they can keep up with a high-fat ketogenic lifestyle. A few months ago, my girlfriend and I went on a small vacation through Portland and Seattle. I wanted to document all of the food I was eating to share the experience and to provide some tips and tricks with all of the ...
