KETO CEREAL
A great way to start your day is with this cereal because it’s a fat bomb. It keeps your appetite low for the rest of the day while providing lasting energy for the tasks ahead.
*Be aware of how much you eat of this...nuts can be high in carbs if you overeat them*
- Ingredients:
- -3-4 tsp butter or ghee(omit to make vegan)
- -1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- -2 cups Coconut/Almond/Flaxseed Milk OR Cream(18%, 35%, etc. just keep in mind the carbs(the lower the better). For example, whole milk has more carbs than table cream)
- Sweetener to taste(optional)
- Dash of salt
- 1/3 cup crushed walnut pieces
- 1/3 cup crushed macadamia nut pieces
- 1/3 cup toasted flaxseeds
With two of the following*:
Instructions
- In a metal pot on medium heat, melt the butter or ghee, if using. If not using, skip step 2 and go ahead and toast all the nuts and shredded coconut in an oven until desired smokey taste.
- Add in the nuts and salt to pot and stir quickly for 1-2 minutes. Then add in shredded coconut and keep stirring. making sure the bottom doesn't burn.
- To your pot, add your sweetener(you shouldn't need more than 1 tbsp) to the nut/coconut mixture and then quickly add your milk.
- Stir and turn heat off. You can serve it like this or let it soak for 10 minutes.
Notes
*Notice how I listed only nuts and seeds high in omega-3's. I want to express the importance of the balance of omega-3's to omega-6's in daily diet. Normally, we consume too much of the latter, thinking that it's healthy fats, but not knowing that with improper ratios of these two omegas, it can cause inflammation in the body. You are free to use other nuts such as cut up almond and and cashews and whatnot, but I highly recommend sticking to the ones I listed to reap full benefits and keep it healthy.
