Weight loss smoothie recipe

1 Reply

Many people have in the recent time started drinking more weight loss smoothie as an alternative to normal food. I have for some time been using smoothies now and then as a part of my keto diet and have good experience with these weight loss smoothies. In order to help everyone out I would like to share my favorite weight loss smoothie recipe.

Before I share my weight loss smoothie recipe I would however first like to point out that I am using the keto diet which means I eat a low amount of carbohydrates and a high amount of fat. The smoothies I suggest below are based on ingredients that are suitable for my diet and might not be ideal if you are on a different kind of diet.

This smoothie is something I like to call the fat bomb smoothie since it is so high on fat.

1 cup coconut milk
2 tbsp unrefined coconut oil
1/3 cup strawberries
a pinch of salt

This is also one of my favorite smoothies and I make it quite regularly. The reason I have some salt in the recipe is both to bring out the taste but also since I usually have this one after I have been to the gym so I feel like I need some additional salt then. Strawberries and fruit is usually not something that is part of a keto diet but I only add a few and need it for the taste. You can also try it with other fruit to give it a different taste if you prefer that. If you would like you could also mix in some protein powder to make a totally new weight loss smoothies combination. If you use a protein powder with some flavor you could also skip adding in the fruit and save on the carbohydrates.

Low carb ice cream recipes

Leave a reply

I always like to make some low carb ice cream when it is hot out. The normal ice cream that you can buy in the store usually contains a lot of additional ingredients that are not good for you. They usually also contain a lot of carbohydrates which are not good for you if you are on a low carb diet. It is also very easy to make your own low carb ice cream so there is no big reason to not do so.

In order to help you with making your own low carb ice cream I have put together the different recipes that I normally use in one place so you can also make your own ice cream. The recipes are all very easy and only takes a few minutes to make. You need some waiting time to make them cold but after that all you need to do is to enjoy your own low carb ice cream.

Fruit low carb ice cream

The most simple and best recipe is to mix some low carbohydrate fruit together with some heavy whipping cream. All you need is a mixer to prepare this simple ice cream recipe. I usually use strawberries or blueberries to make my ice cream but you could use any other fruit you like. Just remember to use fruit that is low on carbohydrates.

Take the fruit and put them in your mixer, then you simply add the heavy whipping cream and mix everything together until it is well blended. Put everything in the freezer for around 60 to 80 minutes and then it is ready to enjoy. The low carb ice cream is best if you serve it together with some small pieces of the fruit.

Protein low carb ice cream

The second ice cream that I like to make is also very simple and only takes a few minutes to prepare. I start out with 1 scoop of whey protein and mix it with around 3 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream. Mix everything until it starts to get a little thick and then put it in the freezer for 60 to 80 minutes.

Keto diet breakfast recipe, Omelet

Leave a reply

Had some time this morning since I am not working so I decided to make a real keto diet breakfast which I do now and then. It is a very simple omelet that contains a lot of good things inside which makes it taste just excellent. I can eat this omelet both for lunch and as a breakfast and I have it maybe once per week or sometimes even more often than that. This is a perfect dish to make when on a keto diet and it is also so easy to make this type of keto breakfast.

Keto Diet Breakfast Recipe

Start out by taking 3 big eggs and crack them into a bowl. Whip them up together with some salt and pepper and then fry the eggs in a pan on both sides until it is done. Do not forget to add plenty of butter and olive oil in the pan first.

As the main ingredients for this keto diet breakfast omelet I use bacon, ham, tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, jalapenos, onion and some spices. I fry the bacon and ham together until it gets a nice color and then I add on the chopped tomatoes and onion together with the jalapenos. Let it all fry together for around 2 to 3 minutes and then add on plenty of cheese on top and let the cheese melt. I also add on some sun dried tomatoes on top and also add some chili powder spices and some Tabasco sauce to make it a little more spicy.
