Keto vegan recipes
From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia
If you are vegan and looking for keto friendly foods, here is a big list of keto friendly, low net carbohydrate foods. A keto vegetarian diet does not include any meat, poultry, or seafood. It is a meal plan made up of foods that come mostly from plants which include:
While choosing vegetables - use leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, collard greens, cauliflower, or other green vegetables. Avoid root vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, yam, carrots, beets etc.
A ketogenic diet, or "keto" diet, is a low-carb, high-fat diet that can promote weight loss and improve certain health conditions. A vegan diet, on the other hand, is a diet that excludes all animal products, including meat, dairy, eggs, and honey. Combining the two can be challenging, as many high-fat animal products, such as cheese and butter, are staples of a traditional ketogenic diet. However, it is possible to follow a ketogenic diet while also adhering to a vegan lifestyle.
Here's a list of keto-friendly vegan foods that you can include in your diet:
Non-starchy vegetables: Leafy greens such as spinach, kale, and broccoli are low in carbs and high in fiber, making them an excellent addition to a vegan ketogenic diet.
Nuts and seeds: Almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds are all high in healthy fats and low in carbs, making them perfect for a ketogenic diet.
Avocados: These are high in healthy monounsaturated fats and are a great source of potassium.
Coconut oil, olive oil and avocado oil: These oils are high in healthy fats and can be used for cooking or added to salads.
Nut and seed butter: Almond butter, sunflower seed butter, and tahini are all high in healthy fats and can be used as spreads or added to smoothies.
Berries: Berries such as raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries are relatively low in carbs and high in antioxidants.
Tofu and tempeh: These soy-based products are high in protein and can be used as a meat substitute in a variety of dishes.
Vegan meat alternatives: There are more and more vegan meat alternatives like seitan, soy protein and pea protein which can be use as a high protein source.
