Use SweetLeaf to Enhance Your Keto Diet

September 11, 2020 /

Unlike many restrictive diets, the keto diet includes a lot of keto-friendly foods other diets wouldn’t allow. Health magazine has a pretty extensive shopping list, which includes:

  • Meat, poultry, and eggs – chicken, turkey, beef, venison, pork, and lamb
  • Seafood – wild salmon, sardines, mackerel, shrimp, crab, tuna, mussels, and cod
  • Low-sugar fruits – tomatoes, avocados, most berries, coconut, lemons, and limes
  • Low-carb vegetables – spinach, arugula, eggplant, mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, bell peppers, cabbage, celery, and more.
  • Nuts and seeds – Macadamia nuts, Brazil nuts, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, almonds, flaxseed, sesame seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds, and pumpkin seeds
  • Dairy products – cheese, cream, butter, plain Greek yogurt, and cottage cheese
  • Oils – extra-virgin olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, nut oils, coconut butter and MCT oil

Happily, avoiding sugar doesn’t mean you have to give up all your favorite desserts and homemade meals. SweetLeaf Stevia Sweeteners are a keto-friendly sweetener for foods, beverages, and recipes. The SweetLeaf Conversion Chart is a good place to learn how to make the change from sugar to SweetLeaf, as is the interactive SweetLeaf Conversion Calculator, which automatically converts all recipe amounts for you.

There are many dessert recipes specifically created for keto diets and they will satisfy any craving for sugar. Try this Keto Chocolate Smoothie or Keto One-Minute Fudge Cookie and you’ll see that being on the keto diet doesn’t mean sacrificing the things you love.
