A classic gimlet, traditionally made with either vodka or gin, offers a refreshing experience. This recipe features vodka, but feel free to experiment with your preferred clear spirit. While reminiscent of a martini, the gimlet distinguishes itself with a citrus twist, thanks to the sweetened lime juice that forms the core of its flavor profile. Adjust the vodka quantity to suit your preference. In the pursuit of a Keto-friendly version, liquid stevia steps in to replace the traditional sugar in simple syrup. Tailor the sweetness and lime intensity to your liking by adding more lime juice or stevia. Originating from necessity in the late 1800s, sailors combined alcohol and citrus fruits to combat illness and Vitamin C deficiencies. The name 'Gimlet' is speculated to stem from a prominent doctor or the tool used to tap spirit barrels. Over time, bartenders refined the recipe by adding sugar and sweetened lime juice. The enduring appeal of the gimlet lies in its balanced ratio of alcohol, lime juice, and sweetener. Be warned, its potency is not to be underestimated! Classic gimlets rely on heavily-sweetened lime juice, typically achieved with equal parts water and white sugar. However, on a Keto diet, replicating the texture of traditional simple syrup with stevia or artificial sweeteners proves challenging. Liquid stevia emerges as the ideal solution for Keto cocktails, eliminating the need for homemade simple syrup. Simply mix liquid stevia with water to mimic the sweetness of simple syrup and incorporate it into your cocktail shaker. Enhance the flavor with fresh lime juice as needed. If a cocktail shaker is unavailable, you can achieve a frothy consistency by pouring the mixture between two glasses. - Jessica L.
This pumpkin spice latte offers a comforting warmth any time of year. Perfect for kick-starting a winter morning or as a post-dinner treat, this Keto-friendly version takes less than 15 minutes to prepare. By simmering spices, almond milk, xylitol, coconut oil, and pumpkin puree in a saucepan, a rich syrup is created. Once reduced, it's poured over freshly brewed coffee in a mug. A topping of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon completes this delightful Keto coffee. Cinnamon and ginger may aid in weight management and blood sugar regulation, while nutmeg potentially relieves pain and boosts the immune system. For those avoiding dairy, canned coconut milk can be substituted for heavy cream. Feel free to also use espresso or instant coffee instead of freshly brewed coffee.
This delightful Keto soup boasts a rich, Italian-inspired flavor profile, featuring savory pork meatballs and delicate zucchini pasta ribbons. A harmonious blend between a hearty spaghetti dish and a comforting soup, this Keto meal is perfect for a satisfying lunch or a light dinner. It pairs wonderfully with Keto garlic bread or toasted low-carb bread drizzled with olive oil, options readily available in our sides section. We've crafted this Keto meatball soup with ground pork, but feel free to substitute with ground beef, turkey thigh, or chicken thigh to suit your dietary preferences. A combination of meats also works beautifully. Simply follow the recipe, adjusting cooking times as needed for your chosen protein. Zucchini noodles add texture and an extra serving of vegetables to this soup. For a more traditional pasta experience, swap them with Shirataki noodles, following the packet instructions for cooking. To further reduce carbs, you can omit the noodles entirely and enjoy a simple, flavorful meatball soup. Remember to adjust your macros to reflect any changes made and account for any toppings or sides added.

Note: Sugar-free chocolate chips are often measured by piece, with approximately 120 chips equaling 1 ounce. This conversion is reflected in the recipe. To make these cake balls Keto-compliant, substitutions are key. Almond and coconut flour replace wheat flour, erythritol stands in for sugar, and sugar-free dark chocolate chips are used instead of baker's chocolate. The addition of high-fat cream cheese icing elevates the cake balls to another level of deliciousness.

This is a great way to use up any lettuce in the fridge with the addition of nothing more than a few basic pantry staples. This simple soup is both budget-friendly and time friendly - ideal for a quick hot meal.

However, you may use an alternative such as butter or romaine lettuce if preferred. Just follow the recipe as written, swapping for your choice of lettuce. This quick and easy Keto soup is easily adaptable and would be just as delicious dairy-free. If you would like to enjoy this soup minus the dairy, you may use coconut oil in place of butter and coconut cream in place of heavy cream, omitting the cream cheese. Alternatively, you may use olive oil or a vegan Keto-friendly dairy spread in place of the butter and an appropriate plant-based cream alternative. Please note that the recipe has been trialed only with dairy, so use alternative ingredients that you are familiar cooking with, at your discretion. Please remember to adjust your macros to account for any changes you make to the recipe.

These low-carb pizza rolls offer a healthy twist on a classic favorite! Instead of traditional pizza dough, we're using eggplant slices to create a lighter, gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan-friendly option. This recipe is a great way to increase your vegetable and fiber intake while enjoying the flavors of pizza. Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite pizza toppings, such as diced peppers or sautéed mushrooms. The key to preventing watery pizza rolls is to properly prepare the eggplant. Thinly sliced eggplant is salted to draw out excess moisture, then gently fried until softened and slightly translucent. These eggplant slices are then ready to be filled, rolled, and baked to perfection. Use your favorite unsweetened tomato sauce, or get creative with a Keto spicy tomato pizza sauce or a vegan Keto roasted red pepper pizza sauce. Whether you're following a keto, gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan diet, these pizza rolls are sure to be a hit. Serve them with a side salad for a complete meal, or as part of a buffet board. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheated in the microwave.
