Keto Lifestyle

Chick peas are a common choice for vegan curries, but this recipe adds in spinach, which I like for getting in the extra nutritional content while on a carb-up day. The chick peas, are great for absorbing all the flavours of the spices, while also adding a wonderful base texture.

Looking for ways to enjoy tiger nuts for breakfast? Try them in this carb-up golden tiger nut overnight oats recipe! They add a lovely texture similar to chestnuts, along with the warming flavours you expect from a golden turmeric tea beverage.

We decided to do a carb-up for Christmas Eve, but I had only made a TON of keto Xmas treats. So I came up with this recipe for tiger nut energy balls so we could have a delicious but healthy treat with only fruit sugar and paleo-friendly ingredients.

Sometimes I don't want the hassle of cooking up something complicated for a carb-up meal. This salad is the perfect solution for just such occasions. By using pre-roasted chick peas and store-bought tzatziki (if I'm feeling particularly lazy)...

Dessert hummus is so hot right now, and switching up the beans for different nutritional content and colour, makes total sense for a chocolate hummus. I figured that if black beans can be used to make brownies, then switching them in place the chick peas for a hummus is not that big a stretch.

Sweet potato desserts are the bomb for carb-ups, but I wanted something that I could take with me on the go for hikes, road trips, etc. These low-fat gluten-free sweet potato oatmeal raisin cookies were just what I needed.

I'm always game to find ways to work beets into a carb-up, so why not throw it into a warm, hydrating, savoury soup to enjoy on a cold, rainy night? You don't even have to pre-cook the beets when you make it in a soup.

Rum raisin is an old school flavour for ice cream, which I decided to adapt to make a carb-up banana "nice cream," seeing that raisins are not keto-friendly. Bananas pair with rum so well, I figured it was a good way to go.

They say you’re best bet is to get your carbs in at the end of the day. This low-fat sweet potato pudding is an easy, delicious way to squeeze some healthy carbs into a dessert.
