What is Keto?
Before we dive into the delicious recipes, let’s take a moment to understand what is keto.
Keto, short for ketogenic, is a dietary approach that emphasizes minimal carbohydrate intake, replacing them with healthy fats and moderate protein.
The primary goal of this diet is to put your body into a state of ketosis, where it burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates.[2] This metabolic shift can lead to a range of advantages, including weight loss, improved blood sugar control and enhanced mental clarity.[3] Additionally, many people on the keto diet experience reduced cravings and sustained energy levels throughout the day.
Because the keto diet is restrictive, it’s helpful to have a handy guide on hand to simplify your meal planning. Make sure to check out what to eat on keto for a list of keto-friendly foods.
Keto desserts are fantastic because they help you stay on your keto diet, even when you’re feeling like indulging in sugary treats. Explore the following keto recipes to discover your new favorites.
Keto Desserts
Remember that many of these keto dessert recipes are versatile. Don’t be afraid to experiment by adding nuts, chocolate, shredded coconut or other add-ins. Without further ado, here are our top keto desserts to try today.
Keto No-Bake Ginger Shortbread Cookies
Love ginger? These super easy cookies may just become your go-to indulgence. Plus, they’re ready in 20 minutes or less and don’t even need baking. All you have to do is blend Collagen Bars, Brain Octane Oil and ground ginger until you get a doughy consistency. Then shape into round cookies, drizzle with coconut butter and garnish with freshly grated ginger.
Keto Rocky Road Bars
Not only does this recipe use healthy fats, but it includes a good dose of collagen. Whip up a batch when you have extra time since making marshmallows from scratch involves refrigerating them for 2-3 hours. After that, layer in some chocolate and customize the add-ins with whatever you’re in the mood for.
