Ketoflex Recipe: Chocolate-Coconut-Peanut Butter-Blackberry Shake

This very densely nutritious (i.e.,fills you up) Ketoflex shake is a combined recipe of the breakfast smoothie that I generally have every morning thanks to Chris Wark's anti-cancer regimen, and the keto ingredients (coconut milk, cacao, and peanut butter).

I am satisfied that Chris Wark's recipe is low-carb enough and high fibre enough to be a good fit for this superfood shake / smoothie.  At the time I write this I am still struggling with the fat adapting part of this diet.  The original recipe did not have any fruit or berries in it and tasted quite flat and a little bitter.  

So, I tweaked it with Chris Wark's recipe and with a cup of frozen blackberries from my fridge.

If you are already using a ketogenic way of eating, you will know that you can work out your own fats+ proteins+ carbs ratio that fits for you.  If you are not on a vegan ketogenic diet, you can go to the tab above and click on My Ketoflex Recipes and read a little about what they are about.

INGREDIENTS:

Put the following into a blender carafe:

  • 2 T. Chia or Flax Seed
  • 1 teaspoon Moringa (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon mixed Sea Vegetable flakes (your choice-- for minerals)
  • 1/3 C. Full-fat Coconut Milk (from a can)
  • 2 C. Water
Wash the following and chop up before adding to the carafe:
  • 1 inch of fresh Ginger
  • Apple (cored and chopped)
  • 1 handful fresh Cilantro
  • 2 Celery ribs
Add last:
  • 1 C. blackberries (I used frozen berries-- you might want to use ice cubes if you don't have frozen berries)
  • 1/8-1/4 teaspoon Stevia powder
Blend up and drink.  Makes enough for two good-size adult shakes.

Pan-Fry Carrots (Roast Carrot Sticks)

Pan-roasted carrots (with some potato fries mixed in) Our younger son grows organic vegetables, fruit and berries on an off-grid community farm in the interior of BC.  We stopped in to see him the other day and came away with a load of last year's carrots, still as carrot-y flavoured and plump as the day they were dug from the ground, thanks to the hill-side root crop storage cellar.   Our granddaughters opted for fish and chips today for lunch, and some of the 'chips' were carrot chips.  They are also a great base for a roast carrot soup.  When you roast veggies, you get extra delicious flavour. PAN-FRY CARROTS (Roast Carrot Sticks) <more properly called: Oven-fried> Wash and scrape carrots.  Chip or slice into strips, as desired. Preheat Oven to 425 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine: 1-2 T. Olive Oil 1 tsp.   Celtic Sea Salt 4-6     large straight Carrots , cut into chips or strips (as desired) Lay chips out on a cookie sheet
