17 Delicious Vegan Keto Recipes People Can’t Stop Making

Think you can’t do keto and stick to your vegan diet? Think again! These 17 vegan keto recipes prove that it’s not just possible, it’s incredibly tasty! Oh, and there’s one epic dessert recipe you definitely won’t want to miss, so keep your eyes peeled for that super special treat!

How to Eat Vegan on a Keto Diet

When most people hear “keto,” they immediately think about fatty bacon, rich buttery coffee, and other animal-centric foods. So, it may surprise you to know that you can totally do keto without violating your ethics (or your health if you choose a vegan diet strictly for those reasons). Of course, you will have to be a bit more diligent about choosing the right variety and combination of foods.

They key is to rely on plant-based high-fat foods, like avocado, coconut oil and such. Many of the recipes below use these healthy plant-centric fats along with other wholesome ingredients for balance. Mix and match your way to the perfect meal plan, right down to dessert. Bonus: even your kids will love most of them, so you don’t have to make separate meals for your non-keto family members.

1. Vegan Bulletproof Coffee

Bulletproof coffee is a morning staple of the keto diet and a great way to start your day with a kick. Unfortunately, though, the “bulletproof” ingredient is usually butter. This one, on the other hand, replaces the animal-based fat with vegan coconut oil. The result is just as tasty, if not even better!

2. Easy Keto Guacamole Recipe

Guacamole is definitely one of my favorite snacks, and if you follow these tips to ripen an avocado fast, you can have it any time you want. Serve it with naturally gluten-free tortilla chips (as long as they’re made from corn, they’re keto and vegan) or heap it on some non-GMO fried tofu for added protein.

6. Vegan Keto Walnut Chili

I know what you’re thinking, “Chili in the summer? You must be crazy!” Sure, everyone thinks of it as a winter staple (and you can certainly save the recipe for cold nights if you prefer), eating spicy foods actually helps cool you down.

Need a go-to salad recipe to use as a side dish or even as a hearty lunch? With 6 main ingredients and three optional toppers, this healthy salad comes together in minutes.
