Bullet Proof Coffee

Bullet proof coffee is perfect when you are on the go and do not have time to make a meal.



Ingredients:
1 cup brewed coffee (any kind that has no carbs, no sugars, not calories) I use my keurig. You can use as much coffee as you want.
2 tablespoons of coconut oil. I use LouAna Coconut Oil
2 tablespoons of heavy cream
1 truvia packet if needed

The macros for the coffee are 33 grams of fat, 0 grams of net carbs, and 0 grams of protein.


You combine all the ingredients into a blender. You set the blender on high for about 30 seconds. The coffee is then ready to drink!

This is not used for a snack or to drink with a meal. It is a meal substitute. I'm usually full till the next meal!

There are other recipes out there if you don't particularly like this version.

Keto Cheesecake

This is one of my favorite snacks on keto. It tastes just like a New York Cheesecake. Yummy! If you have some carbs to spare for the day feel free to add a little bit of whipped cream on top!

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Bake Time: 60-70 minutes
Cool Down Time: 60 minutes
Total Time: About 140 minutes



Ingredients:
3 eggs1 cup whole fat sour cream
2 bricks whole fat cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla
12 packs of sugar substitute, I used Truvia.
 Step 1:
Pre heat the oven to 350 degrees.
 Step 2:

Mix all ingredients with mixer until very smooth.
I use a Kitchenaide and I mix on medium for 10 minutes. scraping sides and paddle along the way.
 Step 3:
Prepare a  water bath.
I use an 8 x 8 pan for the cake and a any baking dish that it will fit in, here I used a 10x 10  square.
Fill the bottom pan at least half way with water.
Step 4:
Pour the cheesecake mixture into the smaller pan and place on center rack of oven preheated to 350.






Step 5
Cake takes between 60-70 minutes to cook.
It will rise up above pan..do not panic. 
Make sure the cake is a light golden brown.
Step 6:
Shut the oven off and let cake sit in the oven for 1 hour.
Step 7:
Enjoy!!! This can be eaten both warm or cold. I prefer cold! After you take it out of the oven, put the cheesecake in the refrigerator to get cold.  Sometimes I do not want to wait so I eat it warm. It is delicious either way!
Store in the refrigerator.



2 x 2 square portion.









The macros for the full 8x8 square are: 196 grams of fat, 25 grams of net carbs, and 58 grams of protein. The macros for a 2 x 2 piece are: 19.6 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of carbs, and 5.8 grams of protein.

**Also, if you want to use other sugar substitute, you can use sweet n low.**

**Shout out to my mother in law for making the cheesecake and taking the pictures while I was studying for my test!****

I passed!

Now that I passed my licensing test I will be back to posting!
