A Vegan Keto Journey 5 (Kathy’s)

Keto Vegan Chocolate BirthdayCake

I’ve been struggling a bit this week, craving a sandwich and hunger pangs have been back.

I’m having to examine closely whether I’m actually hungry or if it’s the old habits (eating a certain way at a certain time) clinging on.

Of course, it IS the old habits! I’m getting more quality nutrients now, and paying closer attention to micro nutrients than I ever did before so I know I’m “nourished”.

Keto Vegan Bread Rolls

Keto Vegan Bread Rolls I think bread and pancakes are probably the thing I miss the most so I set out on a mission to make sure I could produce decent Keto Vegan Bread Rolls.

These rolls are pretty simple to make, no extensive kneading needed.

Thanks to Renee over at herbivorepost for this fab recipe!

Eat them how you like!

You can eat them at any meal, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I wouldn’t eat them as a snack, being 4 carbs a serving. T

To be honest, eating these Keto bread rolls as main meal fills you up so no snacks needed!

 

They are great with seed burgers and some side salad.

Hemp Tofu

If you’re looking for an alternative to soy tofu then look no further, you can make hemp tofu, very easily!

A few simple steps and you have enough tofu to last a few meals. You can scramble it for breakfast or have it a stir-fry for dinner. Roast it in the oven with a nut oil and favorite seasoning.

In fact, most ways you use soy tofu can be done with hemp tofu.

A Vegan Keto Journey 4 (Kathy’s)

coffee beans

Goodness, the time has flown by so quickly, I’m actually in my 5th week now!

All I can say is I wish I’d have heard of Keto years ago. This is something I can definitely keep up long term, I love the food, the experimentation, and the results.

coffee beansI have a subscription to an excellent coffee which is delivered every 4 weeks (I’m fussy about my coffee).

Opening the bag and WOW, after having no sense of smell for nigh on 20yrs I was in bliss. I was like a horse with a nosebag, face stuck in there while making breakfast!

So this was one of the unexpected side effects and one I want to keep.

A Vegan Keto Journey 3 (Kathy’s)

Health food store

So here we are into week 3, how do I feel? Well, lighter that’s for sure!

I definitely have more energy and don’t feel hungry during the day after breakfast, sometimes I forget to eat.

Pea ProteinIt’s important to make sure I’m getting all the nutrients I need so have to make sure I at least have a green smoothie. I bought some Pea Protein which is low carb but ups all those amino acid building blocks (protein).

I’m working on creating more vegan keto recipes which I’ll gradually add to the recipe section. This takes a long time! Measuring the ingredients, writing everything down, taking pictures, then adding to the blog.

Keto Vegan BurgersSo you made your bread rolls and fancy a burger/rissole type food to put in it. These Keto vegan burgers are perfect for the job!

Very simple to make and packed full of goodness, PLUS a low carb burger, what’s not to like.

What Are Fat Bombs

What are fat bombs

The words “fat bomb” don’t sound particularly healthy, but rest assured they are jam packed with healthy fats. So, what are fat bombs? I’m not sure who originally named them but they are a great way to increase your fat intake if you’ve consumed a low-fat meal or if you’re in the initial stages of a ketogenic diet when you may be struggling with hunger. They can be sweet or savory and are simple and quick to make.
