Whether you are on a vegan keto diet, want to cut back on carbs or increase healthy fats, these Vegan Keto Meals and Snacks are for you!
Several years ago I went on a vegan keto diet, which I wrote about in a previous post. In the post I talked about how it affected me and the vegan keto recipes that I ate during that time.
Even though I was only on the diet for about 7 months, I still make recipes that are low carb. I have around 75 recipes in the vegan keto category.
Today I rounded up a bunch of my favorite recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as desserts and snacks.
What is a Vegan Keto Diet?
A vegan keto diet is a high fat, low carb diet where you restrict the amount of carbs you eat. You eat healthy fats and a moderate amount of protein.
Doing this puts your body into a state of ketosis, where your body breaks down fat in the liver and produces ketones to be used as fuel.
Is Vegan Keto Possible?
Definitely! I did it for about 7 months. There are many options for a vegan keto diet. It just takes some creativity and a willingness to try new things so that you don't get bored.
