Happy 2019, friends!

I still can't believe how fast 2018 went! Did you make any resolutions or intentions (like we did) for 2019?

Our 2019 Intentions:

  • Stick to a daily schedule (We tend to get distracted easily)
  • Exercise for at least 30 minutes 3X a week
  • Worry less about things that I can't control (Super hard for me)
  • Go to bed earlier (So we will wake up earlier and stick to intention #1)
  • Be more positive
  • Try more things that scare us (this is mostly for me, Travis is pretty fearless)

I'm so thrilled to see how many people have pledged to try Veganuary this year as one of their New Year resolutions! I read that they had the most people sign up EVER-- that's such a huge and wonderful step!

I've also heard some of my vegan friends say that they're going to give a keto lifestyle a try to help them lose weight. Personally, Travis and I don't follow a vegan keto diet, we just live a very simple and easy vegan lifestyle and eat whatever we want (within reason). However, I wanted to put together a list of vegan keto recipes to help anyone thinking about trying a keto diet this year.

What is a Keto Diet?

A keto diet consists of high-fat foods + low-carb foods + modest amounts of protein. When a person follows a keto diet, their goal is to reach ketosis so their body will burn fat instead of glucose. To do this, people will consume foods that are high in fat which is why they turn to high-fat animal products like butter, meat, and dairy.


Can You Do A Keto Diet If You Are Vegan? 

Good news! Yes, vegans and plant-based people can absolutely follow a vegan keto diet. It might take a little planning (because it can be more restrictive) but it can definitely be done. Check out the guidelines below...

Vegan Keto Diet Basics

  • Consume NO animal products.
  • Increase intake of high-fat vegan products like nuts, seeds, avocados, full-fat coconut milk, nut butter, vegan butter, cashew cheese, olive oil, coconut oil.
  • Increase intake of leafy greens and low-carb vegetables.
  • Limit intake of carbs, only 35 grams per day (Beans, whole grains, rice, pasta).
  • Consume only plant-based proteins like tofu and tempeh.
  • Limit intake of sugar (natural ((berries are ok in moderation)) and processed).
  • Avoid processed foods (frozen meals, prepared foods, sauces, condiments).

How Do You Go Vegan On Keto? 

If you're following a keto diet and want to transition to a plant based keto lifestyle then the first thing you will need to do is cut out all animal products. Once you've done that it will be a simple matter of following the food basics above of what you should and shouldn't eat.

Is Keto Better Than Vegan? 

My opinion is biased because I'm vegan but I don't think an animal-based keto diet is better than a vegan diet. Diets don't work the same for everyone so it really depends on what your end goal is. There is no right answer to this question, try it and do what works for you.

Can You Be Vegan And Low Carb? 

Absolutely, I have a whole list of low-carb vegan recipes for you to try!

One way that I like to fill myself up without eating carbs is by drinking a green keto smoothie. If you're looking for a low-carb (and no sugar!) vegan keto protein powder to try-- I love this one and use it in all of my smoothies!


Can Vegans Eat Low Carb? 

Vegans can definitely eat a low carb diet, here's a list of low-carb vegetables that vegans can enjoy in abundance...

  • Artichokes
  • Asparagus
  • Bell Peppers
  • Broccoli
  • Baby bok choy
  • Cauliflower
  • Cabbage
  • Celery
  • Collard Greens
  • Cucumbers
  • Eggplant
  • Edamame
  • Fennel
  • Mushrooms
  • Okra
  • Onions
  • Radishes
  • Swiss Chard
  • Turnips
  • Zucchini


Is Vegetarian Keto Possible? 

Sure! If a vegan diet seems too restrictive to you then a vegetarian keto diet might work better for you. The only difference would be that you can still eat eggs and dairy on a vegetarian keto diet.

25 Vegan Keto Recipes You Have to Try! 

Now that we've covered the basics of what a vegan keto diet consists of let's get into the recipes! I've collected a list of recipes from my most trusted vegan bloggers (their recipes always turn out amazing!) that you can eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and even a keto dessert!

Equipment

  • Large Pan
  • Large Baking Tray
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Large Pot
  • Blender

Ingredients

  • Breakfast - Tofu Scramble with Vegetables
  • Snack - Low-Carb Keto Crackers
  • Lunch - Avocado Tomato Arugula Salad
  • Dinner - Spicy Thai Curry Cauliflower Soup

Instructions

  • Breakfast - When you make the tofu scramble, divide it into four portions so you can prep breakfast for a few days! Make sure to fill it out with lots of vegetables. I prefer mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, spinach, edamame, and bok choy! 
  • Snack - If you find yourself craving a snack, guacamole would go perfectly with the low carb keto crackers. Sprinkle some hemp seeds on top of the guac for an extra boost!
  • Lunch - The avocado tomato arugula salad is delicious by itself but baked tempeh would be a delicious filling add-on if you need a protein boost! 
  • Dinner - This soup is delicious by itself but if you'd like to pair it with a vegetable side dish, I highly recommend the garlic roasted bok choy. 

Notes

  • Mix and match the recipes on this list to make your perfect daily meal plan! 
  • Try to meal prep on Sunday so you'll have meals ready to eat throughout the week.

    Awh thanks for making this!!! Gives a great starting point. I've been doing keto and while not vegan yet, I have really been trying to limit my animal consumption. I don't eat red meat anymore and try to avoid dairy.
    I was getting pretty bored with my go-to recipes so this is a great way to spice it up and start to make the transition to vegan!! Thanks!

    This doesn’t look like a very high protein plan. Am I missing something? This plan wouldn’t keep me full.

    • Stacey Homemaker

      March 20, 2020 at 2:16 pm

      Hi Kelsey, keto recipes call for moderate amounts of protein, not high protein. All of these recipes contain moderate amounts of protein. You could always add more plant based sources of protein if you need it.

      • Charlotte

        September 02, 2020 at 1:41 pm

        Is there any particular reason keto is moderate protein? Would it stop the diet from working for weightless if you are a lot of protein for instance? I've always wondered the reasoning behind it, because a non-vegan keto diet would have loads of protein in it with all the meat and eggs.

      • Stacey Homemaker

        September 02, 2020 at 5:17 pm

        Hey Charlotte! What you're saying definitely makes sense to me, but based on the research I did, it seems that a moderate amount of protein is part of the keto diet guidelines. I wish I could give you a better answer! Sorry, I can't offer more help.

    • Rebecca Smith

      July 18, 2021 at 7:18 pm

      To my understanding keto is moderate protein not high protein (this is the main difference between keto and atkins). excessive protein on the keto diet can cause your body to start burning protein for energy instead of fat.... which is not ideal. Strive to meet your protein macro, and to not exceed your carb macro... Use your fat macro as a leverage to help you feel full. You don't have to meet it...

    And thanks for the recipes. Will be making the Cauliflower Tika tonight!
