It’s been an interesting few weeks for me as I switched over to a Keto diet, this has been a whole new experience as I have not had diary in over a year and a half.  I was very nervous about how my body would react to it but I’m happy to say it’s been good.  The first week I definitely felt really full and bloated however I think that was from the higher fat as I have not been use to eating.  I’m really excited about this weeks recipes as I have made a few of her recipes and they are very tasty.  I have used a combination of Keto and Vegetarian since my older daughter has been no longer eating meat, I don’t want to cook several different meals each night so I’m trying to find the best of both worlds. Hope very one has a very happy and healthy week!

New Recipe - Bulletproof Coffee (Keto, Paleo)

Bulletproof Coffee

Ingredients: 
8 oz hot coffee
1 tbsp organic grass-feed butter (Ghee for Paleo)
1 tbsp organic MTC oil

Add in options
A few dash’s of Cinnamon
A drop of Almond Extract
A drop of Vanilla Extract (omit if using Vanilla Stevia)
A few drops of Stevia (I like Vanilla Stevia) or a package of Stevia or Truvia (depending on how sweet you like it) or 1 to 2 tbsp Maple Syrup for Paleo (omit for Keto)
1 to 2 tbsp Heavy Cream (Coconut Milk for Paleo)

Directions:
1. Add all of your ingredients to a bullet blender or Ninja blender, blend for a few seconds or until everything is smooth and mixed well.  Pour into a coffee mug and enjoy!

This is so amazing, I tried this yesterday at a friends house and now I’m hooked.  The flavor and richness of the coffee is amazing and it really curbs my appetite for several hours which helps on a busy schedule.  Enjoy!!!

All this weeks recipes are from one of my favorite Low Carb cookbooks that I use to use from time to time, I decided to bust it out for this week as the recipes are pretty easy to make and they are all very delicious.  Most of the week is still Paleo friendly however I will be introducing some diary back into my diet to add a little more fat variety instead of just eating avocado all the time. I do love eating avocado but I need to change things up, I did buy some organic cottage cheese that I would like to try as I use to love eating that with some fresh berries as a quick snack or early breakfast if I was busy or short on time.  I will have some heavy cream with some recipes or homemade whipped cream for a quick and easy keto dessert.  I will also have a little organic full fat cream cheese in my mock mashed potatoes at the end of this week. I will keep an close eye and track of my foods again this week to see how I’m feeling, any differences in my body and any stomach.   Hope everyone has a happy and healthy week!

This is the cookbook I’m using this week, it can be found on Amazon for less than $20.00 and is a great cookbook especially for lower carb meals.  I have made several recipes and they are coming out tasting fantastic.
