Both vegan and keto diets have been trending lately. And, you may be following one or the other and thinking about experimenting with combining the two together.
As a brief overview – a vegan diet is completely plant based and excludes meat products including dairy and eggs. Meanwhile a keto diet strictly limits carb intake to under 20g net a day.
Combining the two together, you may wonder what foods are left that you can enjoy. Well, as you’ll see there’s still plenty of meals that are easy vegan keto recipes.
Can The Two Diets Be Combined?
You’ll find that a vegan keto diet is indeed possible. But – as your diet will be very limited, it’s vitally important to do so under the supervision of a doctor or medical professional who can carry out necessary health/blood tests and supplement with appropriate vitamins and minerals.
You may prefer to follow either a vegan or a keto diet on a regular basis and then have a day or two of strict vegan keto. That way, you’ll get the best of both worlds and be able to enjoy an overall, complete, nutritious diet that will help you achieve your health and weight loss goals.
With that in mind, in this blog post you’ll find 25 easy vegan keto recipes for your vegan keto days. Some of the recipes are already stricly vegan, others you just need to sub a vegan friendly butter, milk, cream, sour cream or mayo to create a compliant dish.
The recipes are a mix of sweet and savoury and can be enjoyed as meals or snacks however you like.
