Eating Veggies On Keto the Smart Way

Vegetables are all important on the keto diet. In fact, doing keto without veggies would be difficult since you need the fiber and the nutrients to help in the weight loss process.

There are some veggies that are recommended you stay away from namely potatoes and sweet potatoes. Does this mean you can NEVER eat them? No. But it is highly recommended that you limit or even eliminate them when you are first starting keto.

Eating them can wreak havoc on your progress and, here’s the kicker, can even make you hungrier, which is what you don’t want.

So one of the best ways to get your veggies in is to blend them. Yep, use your blender to pulverize them so they are easier to eat and drink and you can get tons of nutrition and weight loss wonder in a tall glass.

There are tons of keto smoothie recipes online so you will never be at a loss as to what to make.

You could throw in some protein powder, too. Just make sure you read the label to make sure it’s not high in sugar or carbs. Very important.

You can also add things like chia seeds, flax seed, flax seed oil, a raw egg or two (yes, raw eggs are good for you), hemp seed hearts (these are really tasty and full of protein and nutrients).

I also like to add in spices like cinnamon, ginger, turmeric. Be sure to add a little pink Himalayan salt to round out the flavor, and get some essential minerals you need. And add a little stevia or monk fruit sweetener to it too to make it really yummy.

Another great way to get your veggies in is to steam them. But I like to steam them just enough to where they still have their crunch. I think this is a lot more nutritious to steaming them to where they are just like limp biscuits. It kinda ruins the flavor too. Put a little butter and coconut oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and you are good to go.

So, it’s important to get your veggies in daily.
