Dairy-Free Keto Recipes

163 recipes

I went dairy free for three months when I suspected it was causing inflammation and stalling my weight loss. That experiment taught me a lot about how to cook keto without relying on cheese and cream for everything.
Coconut cream replaces heavy cream. Coconut oil or ghee subs for butter. Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor without actual cheese. The tricky part is store-bought dairy-free alternatives. A lot of brands add sugar and starches to compensate, so they end up not being keto friendly at all. These recipes are made from scratch with whole ingredients so you know exactly what you’re eating.
