Excellent foundation for VK newbies - but beware!
I've been traditional Keto, I've been vegetarian and full-on Vegan. I'd been researching how to combine Vegan & Keto for a while but to no surprise, there simply isn't much (trustworthy) out there. I first found Liz in her Facebook group and shortly after, her book came out. It's a great guide and foundation for anyone new to either lifestyle, and for those with more experience with either. Her recipes are surprisingly simple yet creative. Simple in that the ingredient lists are generally short and assembly is easy, but the flavor profiles are also generally moderate, but the creativity is mind boggling as well. I never would have thought to make bagels from just psyllium, flax and tahini! She also introduced me to jackfruit and kelp noodles (jackfruit tacos shown in right pic). The Chili Tamari Tofu is one of her more robust flavors (shown with kelp noodles in left pic). The downside is that I'm surprised there's not more use of coconut milk and there's zero use of MCT Oil, both Keto staples. So here's where my own experience kicks in by preferring to make alfredo from coconut milk and vegan butter vs her hemp-based recipe. Her version was OK, but just not close enough to the unctious flavor of a good alfredo. I also prefer my falafel made with lupini beans and cooked in MCT over her baked flax version for more protein and a more traditional texture. Again, GREAT foundation for putting keto and vegan together. Start here and tweak to fit your own flavor preferences and macro needs. UPDATE: After several weeks following these recipes I actually GAINED 8lbs. Not sure why exactly, someone mentioned maybe too much flax? Probably just not the proper macro balance for me. No clue but I stopped using it and went back to my regular routine and dropped those 8lbs plus another 11. You've been warned!!
