the best No Carb Dessert



Most classic desserts contain carbs, often in the form of added sugar and white flour in cookies, cakes, and tarts. It can be difficult, but not impossible, to come up with creative and tasty no carb desserts. You will need to use sugar substitutes like Splenda or Stevia, and in place of flour you can use almond meal or another nut-based flour. In general, look for dairy-based desserts like cheesecake, as these will be high in protein and low in carbs.




1. No Carb Cheesecake


No Carb Cheesecake is a great choice for low carb dieters, as it consists mostly of cheese and eggs. And no crust!

Cheesecake gets baked in the oven but then must cool for two to three hours in order for it to set and hold its shape. Here are two basic no carb cheesecake recipes for you to try.


Simple No Carb Cheesecake

Net Carb Count: 0 grams
Ingredients:

5 Packages Light Cream Cheese
4 Eggs
2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
¾ Cups Splenda
Directions:

Combine ingredients in a bowl.
Mix everything together until it is smooth, then bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit in a greased pie plate for one hour.

Flavored No Carb Cheesecake

Net Carb Count: 0 grams
Ingredients:

8 Ounces Cream Cheese
2 Eggs
3 Ounces Sugar-Free Gelatin Mix of Your Preferred Flavor
Directions:

Combine ingredients in a bowl.
Mix everything together until it is smooth, then bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit in a greased pie plate for 30-40 minutes.

2. No Carb Pudding

This carb-free pudding has less than one gram of net carbs per serving.

No Carb Pudding

Net Carb Count: 0 grams

Ingredients:

2 Tablespoons Heavy Whipping Cream
Artificial Sweetener to Taste
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Directions:

In a small bowl, combine heavy whipping cream with vanilla extract and your favorite artificial sweetener to taste.
Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.

3. Sugar-Free Hot Cocoa

This cocoa will warm you up on any cold winter evening. The net carbs in this hot cocoa are virtually nonexistent, at less than half a gram.

Sugar-Free Hot Cocoa

Net Carb Count: < ½ gram
Ingredients:

1 Teaspoon Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
¼ Cup Water
Artificial Sweetener to Taste
Directions:

In a small saucepan, whisk together unsweetened cocoa powder with water until hot.
Sweeten, if desired, with your favorite artificial sweetener.

4. Cheese

Cheese is naturally low carb; one ounce of cheese has less than half a gram of net carbs. Enjoy an ounce or two of nice cheese after dinner for a guilt-free dessert.

5. Low Carb Mousse

This mousse is similar to no carb cheesecake, but has no eggs and thus does not require baking.  Because of the cheeses used in this mousse, there are about four grams of net carbs, so it is not completely carb-free.

Low Carb Mousse

Net Carb Count: 4 grams
Ingredients:

½ Cup Ricotta or Cottage Cheese
Artificial Sweetener to Taste
Cinnamon to Taste
Nutmeg to Taste
Ginger to Taste
Directions:

Put ricotta or cottage cheese in a blender with some artificial sweetener to taste
Add your favorite combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Blend until smooth and chill before serving.

It is hard to create a completely carb-free dessert, but the ideas above come quite close, most having less than one gram of net carbs per serving. Remember that dessert does not have to be sweet; cheese is a common finisher in many countries, and it’s a great choice for the low carb dieter. Get creative, too; you can make no carb cheesecake in a variety of ways, and you can flavor pudding and mousse with various spices and extracts without adding carbs.  Get in the kitchen and try your hand at one of these no carb desserts!

Coconut Protein Cookies



The fat-burning coconut cookies you can eat for breakfast to boost your metabolism

Coconut Protein Cookies
This recipe is a slightly modified version from my friend Megan Kelly.  She has an incredible blog and is a Licensed Esthetician specializing in holistic nutrition, woman’s hormones, and spiritual health.

Ingredients

1.5 cups of shredded coconut flakes
½ cup of sunflower seeds
½ cup of high-quality protein powder
1/4 cup of honey
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
2 tablespoons of coconut oil
1/8 cup of water
Instructions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Roughly chop sunflower seeds or other nuts you may wish to use in the blender until broken up into chunks.
Place all ingredients into a bowl and stir together, if you notice that it is too crumbly than try adding in another tablespoon of coconut oil and possibly more water.
Scoop cookies onto a cookie tray.
Gently press the cookies down to flatten.
Makes about 18 cookies.
Bake for about 15 minutes.



Additional Notes:

Can use 2 cups coconut shreds if you do not have/want sunflower seeds.
Can use any other kind of nut or seed
You can use any flavored or unflavored protein powder to change up the flavor.
You can put the coconut whipped cream recipe in between to make an incredible coconut cookie sandwich!

Dr. Jockers Comments
This is a fun and tasty recipe that is full of fiber, healthy fats and clean protein.  It is low carb, ketogenic and helps us to stabilize our blood sugar and burn fat.



If you are following an autoimmune nutrition plan, then you may want to avoid the sunflower seeds and instead use extra coconut flakes.  Coconut flakes are a great source of medium chain fats that help us to burn fat and provide immediate fuel for our body and brain.  They also provide good fiber for our microbiome.


Stevia is my preferred sweetener because it is one hundred times sweeter than sugar and has no effect on our blood sugar.

The Best Low Carb Green Smoothie



If  I told you I made a smoothie that tasted like the leftover milk that you drink after eating a bowl of Lucky Charms, was good for you and low in carbs...would you believe me?  Well you should because it is all true :)  If anyone reading has no clue what Lucky Charms tastes like, its like a bowl full of sugary marshmallow heaven that brings me way back.  I'm actually not the one that came up with that description for this smoothie recipe.  The whole it tastes like "Lucky Charms" bit came from my brother-in-law's sweet girlfriend who was forced by me to take a sip after she looked in horror as I was drinking this green smoothie saying "Mmm" out loud as everyone was eating chips and pizza.  I took a sip after she said the whole Lucky Charm description thing and I could not believe how right she was! So if you like Lucky Charms you will like this.



What you need:

1 1/4 cups of unsweetened vanilla almond milk
2 ice cubes
2 cups of spinach
1/2 of an avocado
1 tbs of roasted flax seeds *they must be roasted for this recipe
4-5 drops of vanilla stevia



Directions:

Blend everything up in a blender.  Pour into a glass and enjoy right away.

Oh and adding a cute striped straw makes it just a tad more appealing right?  So if you want to make your green smoothie more appealing head to Target and pick up a whole little pack for a mere $2.

Please come back and let me know what you think if you make this!

This smoothie has only 4 grams of effective carbohydrate! Can I get a hallelujah!

LOW CARB CAULIFLOWER BREADSTICKS



LOW CARB CAULIFLOWER BREADSTICKS WITH FRESH HERBS, GARLIC, AND LOTS OF OOEY GOOEY CHEESE ATOP A CAULIFLOWER CRUST LOOKS AND TASTES LIKE CHEESY BREAD!

When you can’t eat bread, either because of allergies, diabetes, or you are choosing to be on a low carb diet, this recipe for Low Carb Cauliflower Breadsticks will put a big smile on your face and help you stick to that new year’s resolution!


I have always been pretty addicted to carbs, but I feel so much better when I limit them in my diet. My body responds better to eating a high protein, low carb diet. I have more energy, my head is clearer, I sleep better, I’m so much more productive, the list could go on. I just feel all around great when I limit my carb intake.

Because I feel so much better, I don’t want to slip back into my old habits that make me feel not-so-good, but I sure do miss bread. When I saw a recipe for Cauliflower Squares on Allrecipes, I thought they looked like an interesting addition to my low carb diet. There are a whole host of recipes for Cauliflower Breadsticks on the web, but this one looked easy enough. I made some adjustments to the recipe, because I can’t help myself, but I think it turned out almost as good as cheesy bread.


Click on the picture below To save this recipe to remember it







These low carb breadsticks taste fresh, garlicky, and cheesy just like an amazing garlic bread smothered in a layer of Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. There is a hint of cauliflower flavor, but it certainly doesn’t overwhelm. The texture is a bit softer than bread, but that didn’t bother me one bit, because all I could think about was the ooey gooey goodness of the garlicky cheese bursting with fresh basil just like my favorite cheesy bread, but it’s low carb!! I am so happy I can enjoy cheesy bread while eating a low carb diet, I don’t even care that it is ‘faux cheesy bread’.

My next adventure in cauliflower bread will be low carb pizza crust! The topping choices are endless, so I’m having a hard time deciding where to start, but I’m excited to enjoy pizza while living a low carb lifestyle. What do you think? Where should I start? What is your favorite pizza topping?

Low Carb Cauliflower Breadsticks with fresh herbs, garlic, and lots of ooey gooey cheese atop a cauliflower crust looks and tastes like cheesy bread.

Prep time  15 mins

1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Cool about 10 minutes and cut into 'breadsticks'. Garnish with fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese. Serve with your favorite Red Sauce and enjoy!

Easy 2 Ingredient Low Carb Sugar Free Dessert



So this is a recipe for a quick and oh-so-simple low carb dessert. It's been a go-to of mine for years! The best thing about this dessert is that it's totally customizable after you make the basic recipe. There's SO many things you can do with this to make all sorts of guilt free goodies!



One thing to remember is moderation. While this may be a good low carb alternative to many other high carb high sugar sweets, i'd save this for a once in a while treat. Carbs can add up quick when you ignore serving sizes.


Ingredients

Sugar Free Jell-O instant pudding. (any flavor)
Heavy Whipping Cream

Directions
Simply substitute heavy cream for the amount of milk that the pudding normally calls for and mix as usual. That's it! If you use a hand mixer and whip it for quite a while it'll turn out pretty thick! I love it this way.

What can you do with it?



                          please support us by pining this post and shearing it with your friends.

After i lost my official pinterest page which was so special because of your all Participations, i decided not to give up and start over,



Using this basic recipe, you can make all sorts of cool low carb desserts!

-You can eat it as is right after mixing and add fresh fruit or sugar free syrups or jams.

-If your using vanilla pudding you can customize the flavor and add flavor extracts.

-You can freeze it and it will resemble sugar free "ice cream." After freezing you can also add low carb goodies such as mentioned above.

-You can pair it with a pre-made low carb pie crust for a no bake pie option.

-You can heat it up in the microwave for a warm and rich pudding. Heat if for only about 15 seconds or so and check it before heating more. It will start to curdle if you leave it in too long, although you can still eat it this way, it just kind of looks yucky.After warmed you can also add any low carb or sugar free options here too for more variations.

AMAZING DRINK WHICH BURNS FAT IN AN INSTANCE



During the winter months, the body has the tendency to increase the accumulation of fat tissue. Two of the major contributors to this are the lowered physical activity and the greasy meals. We become aware of this critical zone around the waist with the first sign on warmer days. Instead of thinking about how to cover and hide the consequences of winter with fashion allies, we are offering you a drink, which together with exercising will burn the fats.





Ingredients for this sour drink:

  • 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
  • 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
  • The juice and peel of 1 lemon

Preparation:

Wash the lemon and then grate its peel in a bowl and then put some hot water in it. After 10 minutes, add the lemon juice, apple cider vinegar and a bit of chili pepper. Mix before every sip and drink it before and after eating.

If you liked this post then share it with your friends and family.

The cayenne pepper will improve the digestion of the food, speed up the metabolism, and stimulate the burning of the fat. Namely, its ingredient capsaicin stimulates the nervous system to create heat in the body, which promotes faster calorie waste.
Lemon contains a substance which slows down the accumulation of fats, and lemon peel contains polycosanol – a type of sugar which helps with burning the accumulated fat.
Regular consuming of a proper amount of apple cider vinegar helps degrade the fat in the body. The vinegar actually contains natural acids which clean the dissoluted toxins and throw out the undigested food from the intestines.
