Most people assume keto and vegan cancel each other out. They mostly do not. These 13 recipes use lupini beans, hearts of palm, coconut cream, and shirataki to hit plant-based macros without going above seven net carbs. No dairy, no eggs.
Three noodle and vegetable options and a coleslaw that pulls double duty as a main. The hearts of palm pasta is the one people come back to.
Hearts of palm sliced lengthwise into strips that mimic fettuccine. Two net carbs. The texture holds up to sauce in a way zucchini noodles never quite do (they get waterlogged, these do not).
Shirataki, done right. Zero net carbs. The trick is rinsing, patting dry, and dry-frying in a hot pan for two minutes before adding anything else. Six reviews averaging four point seven stars.
Looks like a basic grilled vegetable side. It is, and that is the point. Six net carbs, olive oil, salt, and a grill. Rounds out a plate without needing to think too hard about it.
I made this for a cookout once and someone asked for the recipe before we even sat down. Lime, cilantro, jalapeno, and a dressing that has a little heat. Three point four net carbs, four five-star reviews.
The stir fry sauce is the reason this section exists. The lupini hummus is a close second. Both are worth keeping in the fridge.
One point two net carbs and five point two grams of protein per serving. Lupini beans blended into hummus that actually tastes like hummus. Two reviews at four point five stars. Nobody has caught the swap yet.
How much better is homemade stir fry sauce than the bottled version? Three net carbs versus bottles that run six to eight. Five reviews at four point eight stars. I have not bought a bottle since making this.
Sesame oil, chili flakes, and rice vinegar over cucumber sliced as thin as I could get them. Four point two net carbs. Takes ten minutes, tastes like it came from somewhere with a menu in two languages.
Coconut milk handles the fat, avocado handles the creaminess. No cream, no eggs, still scoopable.
Dairy-free keto ice cream that is actually scoopable at freezer temperature, not a frozen brick you chisel at. Three point three net carbs. Three reviews at four point seven stars. Coconut milk base, no eggs.
A translucent jelly dome. Zero point two net carbs. It looks like water that somehow held its shape, which tends to stop conversations mid-sentence. Two five-star reviews.
Six net carbs in a coconut lime popsicle that freezes creamy instead of icy. Coconut milk and fresh lime juice. The kind of thing that takes five minutes to prep and disappears the same afternoon.
A smoothie with real protein, an eggnog made without eggs (the name is a stretch), and a chaffle that works without cheese or eggs.
Can a smoothie actually replace a meal? This one has nine point five grams of protein and six point one net carbs, so the answer is closer to yes than most. Chocolate and peanut butter. Two five-star reviews.
Coconut cream blended with nutmeg and a little vanilla. Two point one net carbs. It is frothy in the way eggnog should be, and there are no eggs in it (despite the name, that is standard for most store versions anyway).
Flax and coconut flour. No eggs, no cheese. Five point five net carbs. Four five-star reviews from people who were skeptical the chaffle format would survive removing both of its core ingredients.
