All Natural Dark Chocolate Premium Baking Chips - 9 Oz (Pack of 1)No Sugar Added Premium baking ChipsAll NaturalVegan,Non GMO
Specs:
I'm on vegan CICO not vegan keto, but I know people who are and they tell me they eat: Beyond Meat (1 gram net carb), Beyond sausages (2 net carbs), Gardein chick'n strips are 4 net carb, Some nutritional yeasts are 1 net carb, Mushrooms 1 net carb, bell peppers are 3 net carb per 100 grams, 2 cups of spinach = 1 net carb, chinese cabbage = 1.5 carb per cup, some wraps are 1 or 2 net carbs, low carb bagels, low carb cookies, avocado pesto, low carb bread, shirataki rice & noodles. Here's an example of a low carb pizza wrap. Many of the more nutrient dense veggies are lower carb, so that's good, but really vegan keto is going to require a lot of creativity with sauces etc. Just doing low carb is much easier obviously.
edit to add - a few other lower carb meals I found looking through the sub I help mod:
Some other vegan low carb products:
Some folks live, eat and breathe peanut butter, and they go even crazier when you add in chocolate. But alas, this combo is usually PACKED with sugar. Well not these bad boys. These chocolate-chip studded cupcakes are topped with a rich peanut butter frosting but cut out the carbs and sugar.

This is by far my favorite 'treat' I've made while doing keto. I recommend using parchment paper or a silicon mold of some sort. I am not a fan of pecans so I subbed in pumpkin seeds instead. I also did not roast anything since I bought pre-roasted almonds. I also sprinkled extra sea salt on top before refrigerating. Keto Almond Bark

Notes
The sugar alcohols in Lily's Chocolate Chips are not included in the nutritional information since most subtract to calculate net carbs. The nutritional information won't be exactly accurate unless you break almond bark into equally sized pieces.

I was wanting to make the famous brownies, and was pondering how I could make it even lower calories. Most chocolate chips are about 70-80 calories for the same amount, but these are 50. Just popped open the bag and tasted one, and seems pretty good so far. It's what I was waiting for to make "the brownie" recipe with pumpkin! So excited to taste them!

Well.... heres one option
A few years ago a co-worker of mine turned me on to hot chocolate + peppermint schnapps, and every year around that time I start craving that a bit! I've been doing keto for the majority of the past couple years (3 years this coming March), and somehow it never occured to me to add peppermint extract to my hot chocolate for that taste. I'll probably mess around with this recipe, but I thought y'all might appreciate this! :)
I used almond milk, which is the opposite of creamy, but also added an unexpected ingredient : egg yolk! Tempering this into the chocolate definitely changed the mouthfeel for the better. I got the idea from a Viennese Hot Chocolate recipe I found.
Ingredients (for one 12oz cup)
12oz Milk (I used Almond for less carbs)
3 tsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (if you can get it I definitely recommend the Lake Champlain Chocolate I used - it was really good, and the company is as well!)
1 Egg Yolk
1/2 tsp of Peppermint Extract
1/4 tsp of Vanilla Extract
(Optional) 1 tbsp Chocolate Chips, or equivalent solid chocolate
(Optional) Any other aromatics of your choce: a cinnamon stick in the milk as it boils would be a nice addition!
Tools
1 Saucepan or Pot
A Wisk
Your favorite mug
Instructions
If you don't want to add an egg, this is where you can stop! Happy drinking! :)
Otherwise:
The result with egg was foamy, with a creamy mouth feel. If you go the no-egg route, I would recommend using mostly/only solid chocolate, as this would thicken up your milk as well and make your drink even more chocolatey! I would have done so as well in this version, but I really like the cocoa I have, and thought the egg was more calorically and carb-ically safe.
I'll probably make another cup when my husband gets home later, and add some whisky as well - definitely a keeper recipe for me :)

Yeah same, I used to eat mash potatoes everyday with steak and it tasted good but after being in keto for a few months I noticed how much carbs it is and every single time I look at something in the supermarket that seems "friendly" it still tend to have a lot of carbs. If you're craving some pasta I would recommend Tofu Shirataki Noodles by House Foods. However, I suggest adding stuff like tomato sauce that has low carb since the noodles will taste good if you season it well or bland if you don't season it. As for pizza I would making keto pizza. It doesn't cost much and you can track the calories of the entire pie by using myfitness recipe calculator. If you miss sugar you can use a Erythritol Sweetener.
​
Also, I seen people talk about MCT Oils and how some people get great results while others say the opposite. I personally recently started to include it in my routine and I been feeling more energy throughout the day and personally lost weight while using it since I been stuck at 193-195 and now I'm 189 (started on the 14 of this month). I was scared to use a low priced MCT Oil so I went for Brain Octane MCT Oil. I'd suggest getting the 3 OZ one to see how it goes for you since it's a waste to spend higher because if it doesn't work well at least you didn't spend that much.

For the recipe I used Lily's Chcolate chips
https://www.amazon.com/Lilys-Dark-Chocolate-Chips-1x9/dp/B00H2AAXMQ
They're no sugar added so lower Calories. For the top of the brownies I used a few mini Enjoy life.
I think that Chocolate Covered Katie uses the Lily's or some other sugar free chips too because that is the only way she could have gotten that calorie count.
I use Lily's chips all the time to lower calories, like in this high protein peanut butter cup

Why not have a “keto” chocolate snack?
I eat a few Lily’s chocolate chips and satisfy the craving

Or make a keto brownie in a mug. I’ve been keto since 4/15/15 and I’m not saying you can’t occasionally have a slice of cake or whatever- but you’re setting yourself up to slide back into old habits with this mindset.
