GREEN KETO SALAD 🥑🌿🥑
Hello my Dearest Foodies,
Not that I am on Keto diet, however, I had a chat with my friend who is and I also looked into more details about VEGAN KETO DIET online. You can read about it HERE, if you are interested.
Anyway, I personalty cannot imagine giving up on so many foods such as; all types of grains, starchy vegetables and even beans. Besides, being allowed only very limited amount of fruits and NO MAPLE SYRUP, LOL!!! Nevertheless, if you feel that KETO is the way, then at least chose VEGAN KETO since all animal products are high in cholesterol and being on this type of diet may increase total cholesterol, according to a study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. You can read more about it HERE.
Most importantly, whether you are on diet or not, I have this delicious highly nutritious salad recipe for you with only plant fats and plant protein. It is also delicious and highly satisfying, not to mention very easy to make! I really hope you'll like it.

This looks amazing dear Lena! You're trying the Keto food plan? Let me know what you think. Of course being a huge fan of salads, I could eat like this every day! No maple syrup you say :( not good! I would love to hear what you use as a replacement sweetener. Beautiful presentation, and Happy New Year my sweet friend! xx
Oh no Sweetie, I am not, lol. I was only talking to my friend about it. Hell would freeze over before I go on Keto diet, LOL. But I attached link in this post you can read about the vegan Keto if you like. Thank you so much for visiting and I am glad you like the salad 🥑🌿🥑
I have to say I was a bit surprised, lol With the perfectly healthy diet you follow every day I couldn't imagine why you would do that, :) I do love that salad!!!!!!
Well, I could loose few pounds, but you know, I am grandma, so who cares, lol.

Thank you so much Dear Cherry, I am so happy you like it 💚🌿💚
I just love this green Keto salad of yours Lena. My hubby was on it for approx 2 months, lost 10kg, felt great and used much less insulin but had some scary hypoglycemic episodes so I took him off it. I could never stick to it!
I could never be on it, lol. And hypoglycemic episodes sounds scary!!! But I am happy you like the salad. It was delicious. Thank you so much for stopping by Dear Lizelle 💚🌿💚
Same with me LOL, love my fruit and a good bread way too much! Those hypoglycemic episodes were horrible, his sugars dropped to readings under 2 a couple of times, I honestly thought of calling an ambulance once or twice as he was totally gone, could have gone into a coma if he was alone!
I think these type of diets are too drastic, especially for people with helath issues. Thank God you were there and he is okay now!
