Healthy and Delicious Drink Recipes
Breads
I stopped trying to make bread like bread. I just eat different things – like grain free naan as a sandwich wrap. Get creative – make healthy the priority but it’s important to eat foods you like, not just icky foods that pretend to be bread.
Note for keto & healthy recipes:
- Use grain free flours (cassava, almond, etc)
- Omit gums – use ground psyllium husk, ground chia or flax seed, agar agar
- Egg replacement: 3TBSP Water + 1TBSP Flax – let rest 5 mins
Everything dough – great for pizza, flatbread, pitas
Keto French Bread (sooo good!)
French bread – made this one for Christmas dinner 2023 (yuuuummmm)
Almond flour & psyllium tortillas
Naan – the easy version of this is delicious! So far the best mix is 2 parts cassava, 1 part arrowroot, part almond. It’s easy to overdo the liquid so really – add that in only as needed. It should be consistency of pizza dough – if you can’t roll it into a ball, it’s too thin. Also – try baking instead of frying – 350° for 12-15. I also just read the note that cassava makes it chewy in the middle – you can add a little yeast to reduce the chewy. Good to note for all recipes!
Bread Sticks – use a good blend of flours, if you’re doing healthy carbs, you’ll want to use cassava, arrowroot and almond – I haven’t perfected the blend yet. Make sure the dough is thick enough to pipe.
Breakfast
Pancakes – TIP: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and pour batter into the pan, bake at 350° for 18 minutes, slice into squares and eat or freeze. You can substitute 3 flax eggs (1 tbsp flax + 3 tbsp water = 1 egg).
Sandy’s Raspberry muffins – avocado oil makes the difference!
Apple Cinnamon Muffins – delish! I used allulose in the muffins and coconut sugar in the topping and drizzle (instead of maple syrup). I added sprouted oats to the topping and used real butter in the drizzle.
Ginger Pear Coffee Cake – ooooh yummmm!
Cinnamon Rolls – Tip: when the pastry is flat and covered with maple syrup and cinnamon, slide into 2” strips and use a knife to help left and roll. Cut the small roll in half and set cut side down in pan.
Snacks
Almond crackers – I made these a little thick and realized they make amazing Graham crackers!
Keto Hummus (without chickpeas)
3 ingredient hummus ( Nazareth recipe) – 3 cups cooked chickpeas with water, 1 cup tahini, lemon juice – seriously yummmmm.
Use white beans for reduced carbs. Make your own Tahini.
Chicken Fingers – this recipe calls for eggs to coat the chicken before dipping in the crumbs. You could also use yogurt or coconut yogurt.
Treats
Snickerdoodles – Flour (1 cup cassava, 1 cup arrowroot/tapioca, 1/2 cup nut flour).
Vegan marshmallows – I use Allulose instead of sugar and you can use maple syrup or Allulose syrup if you’d like. You don’t want the mixture to be very moist. So go easy when adding the liquid.
Fat Bombs – peanut butter cup with ganache topping – I don’t like stevia so I left it out and added a little coconut sugar.
Fat bombs from Valencia peanuts
Note for fat bombs: make your own nut butter – roast raw nuts lightly and use a high speed blender to make it as creamy as you like. Use any nuts you prefer – I like walnut or pecan. Almond is great but can take a long time to get to a cream.
Grain free churro donuts – drizzle with chocolate syrup (below)
Chocolate syrup (coconut sugar or allulose – I use more butter and a little coconut milk – no water)
Soups
Sweet potato black bean tortilla soup
Vegetable Broth – this recipe calls for sunflower oil, please use olive or avocado oil instead.
