Are plant-based meats ultra-processed, synthetic junk? Or is factory-farmed meat the real chemistry experiment?
In this episode, I break down the biggest myth about plant-based meats—the idea that they’re somehow "fake" compared to conventional meat. After my brother-in-law smugly called my veggie burger “synthetic,” I did some digging… and let’s just say, the irony is delicious.
We’ll look at what’s actually in plant-based meats, whether they count as ultra-processed foods, and—most importantly—what factory-farmed animals are pumped full of to keep them growing unnaturally fast. Spoiler alert: It’s not vitamins and love.
So, if you've ever had to defend your plant-based choices against someone eating hormone-fed, antibiotic-soaked meat, this one’s for you. Hit play and let’s set the record straight!

Friday Feb 14, 2025
Friday Feb 14, 2025
Who says indulgence can’t be keto? In this episode, I’m diving into the world of rich, nutty, chocolatey goodness with my homemade Chocolate Nutty Squares! These little bites of heaven are packed with dark chocolate, creamy peanut butter, and crunchy hazelnuts—perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without the carb overload. Plus, I had to double the recipe because, let’s be real, who wants just a tiny batch? Tune in as I share the process, tips for tweaking the recipe, and how these delicious squares fit into a keto vegan lifestyle. 👌🍫✨
I doubled the following ingredients:
100 g dark chocolate with a minimum of 80% cocoa solids
60 ml butter
1 pinch salt
60 ml peanut butter
½ tsp vanilla extract
45 g finely chopped hazelnuts
Instructions
Melt chocolate, butter and peanut butter in the microwave – half power, 2 minutes, stir then one more minute.
Add all remaining ingredients except the nuts and blend until incorporated.
Pour into a small greased and lined baking dish lined with parchment paper, no bigger than 4 x 6" (10 x 15 cm).
Top with the finely chopped hazelnuts. Put in the refrigerator to chill.
When it is set, cut into small squares with a sharp knife. Remember, keep these and all treats small — no more than a 1x1 inch square. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.

It’s 2025, the research is clear, the planet is burning, and yet people still act like veganism is some sort of fringe cult. In this episode, I’m unleashing my frustration at the wilful ignorance around plant-based eating. Why do people ignore the overwhelming evidence that meat is bad for health, the environment, and, oh yeah, the animals? Why do they cling to myths like “you’ll die without protein” while happily chowing down on ultra-processed junk?
We’ll talk about the science, the stubbornness, and the sheer ridiculousness of people burying their heads in the sand (probably next to a factory farm). But don’t worry—it’s not all doom and gloom. Expect a hefty dose of sarcasm, some well-placed eye rolls, and a few laughs as I dismantle the nonsense. If you’re tired of defending your vegan keto lifestyle to people who “could never give up cheese,” this episode is for you.
🎧 Tune in, share with your meat-eating mates (if they dare), and let’s get real about why the world needs to wake up.

Welcome back to The Keto Vegan! In this episode, I’m tackling the rollercoaster of New Year’s resolutions—those well-meaning promises that often fall apart before February (we’ve all been there). We’ll explore why resolutions fail, how to rethink them with kindness and intention, and why the Chinese New Year offers a fresh chance to reset and reflect.
Join me as we chat about shedding what no longer serves you (hello, Year of the Snake!), celebrating what went well in 2024, and setting realistic hopes for 2025. Whether you’re aiming for more sleep, less stress, or just surviving January without bingeing, this episode is for you.
So, grab a cuppa, take a breath, and let’s create a year of Positive Thinking, Positive Actions, and Positive Interactions—one realistic step at a time.

#74 Keto Kitchen Magic: Tofu Cheese and Accidental Houmous Triumphs!
Friday Dec 13, 2024
Friday Dec 13, 2024
Welcome to The Keto Vegan Podcast! I’m Rachel, your host and guide through the delicious world of plant-based, low-carb living. Today, we’re diving into a kitchen experiment that turned out to be a double win. You know those moments when you’re trying to make one thing and accidentally create something else that’s just as good? Well, that’s exactly what happened to me this week.
It all started with my mission to craft the ultimate vegan cheese using tofu—rich, creamy, and totally keto-friendly. But here’s the twist: somewhere along the way, I stumbled upon a recipe tweak that led to a surprise discovery—a keto houmous! Yes, you heard that right. It’s smooth, garlicky, and perfect for those low-carb crackers or crudites.
In this episode, I’ll share the step-by-step process for both recipes, the lessons learned along the way, and a few tips to elevate your vegan keto game. Whether you’re here for the cheese, the houmous, or just a bit of culinary inspiration, you’re in for a treat.
So grab your apron, and let’s get stuck in! By the end of this episode, you’ll be ready to whip up two versatile and downright delicious creations to add to your keto vegan repertoire.
Ingredients
1 16-oz block extra firm tofu
1/2 cup refined coconut oil
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp mellow white miso paste
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 cup plain unsweetened non-dairy milk
Instructions
BLEND: Add all ingredients to your food processorand process starting on a low speed and slowly increasing to high. Blend on high for about 4-5 minutes, stopping to scrape the sides down as needed. The mixture will get really smooth and shiny towards the end which is exactly what we want! If it’s not shiny yet, keep blending.
SET: If you just want to use this cheese as a spread, transfer the mixture to a large airtight container. If you want a cheese that holds its shape on a platter or can be moulded into a log, transfer the mixture to a silicone mold or plastic-lined airtight container. Cover and place it in the fridge for at least3-5 hours to fully set. If you’re shaping the vegan goat cheese, I would let it set in the fridge for at least 6-8 hours.
SHAPING(optional): To make this vegan goat cheese substitute look as legit as possible, you can also mold it into those classic goat cheese logs once it’s set. Just pop the cheese out of the silicone mold or lift it out of the plastic-lined container. Then, use your hands to form the mixture into 2-4 tubes. Wrap these tubes in plastic and place them back in the fridge for at least another 60-90 minutes before serving.
SERVE: When you're ready and the tofu cheesehas firmed up, remove it from the fridge and unwrap it or pull it out of the silicone mold as needed. Serve as a spread with a cheese knife onto crostini, crackers, bread, cucumbers, or all your favourite veggies. Use it to veganize all your favourite recipes that call for soft goat cheese!
STORE: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days. You can also freeze leftover cheese in an airtight container for up to 8 weeks. Defrost in the fridge until thawed through. This takes about 3-4 hours depending on the size of the serving you’re defrosting.

Celebrate with me on this week’s episode of The Keto Vegan Podcast as I take you along for my birthday lunch at The Cosy Club in Gunwharf, Portsmouth!

#72 How I Pulled Off a Keto Vegan Birthday Feast for 12!
Friday Nov 29, 2024
Friday Nov 29, 2024
In this special birthday episode of The Keto Vegan Podcast, I share the delicious chaos of hosting a keto vegan lunch for 12 guests. From rich chocolate cheesecake and zesty lemon mousse to stuffed chestnut mushrooms and a perfectly seasoned Juicy Marbles loin, the menu was a mix of indulgence and creativity that had even the biggest sceptics asking for seconds.
I’ll take you behind the scenes of my kitchen triumphs (and a few near-disasters), share tips for making keto vegan dishes that impress, and reveal the drink choices that kept everyone happy—except for that lonely, untouched Porn Star Martini.
Whether you’re planning your own celebration or just curious how to make a show-stopping keto vegan feast, this episode is packed with ideas, laughs, and plenty of chocolate. Grab a glass of your favourite low-carb drink and join me for this birthday bonanza! 🎉
The Menu
Chocolate Cheesecake
I used an 8” square dish,
150g almond flour
40 cocoa powder
40g sugar free sugar
100g melted butter
Filling:
225g chocolate melted
300g cream cheese
100g sugar
2tsp vanilla essence
2tbs cocoa mixed with:
500ml double cream – Elmlea plant double
On reflection I should have added more chocolate to this – it was really good, but not quite chocolatey enough.
Lemon Mousse
750ml
600g Violife Cream Cheese
75g sugar free sugar
2 lemons – zest and juice
Whip cream firstBeat Cream cheese and sugar Then whip all togetherAdd juice and zest of lemons and keep whipping until firm.
On reflection – don’t bother adding the cream cheese – it didn’t need it. Just sugar, cream and lemon juice should make it a good enough consistency but make and eat on the same day.
Chestnut Stuffed Mushrooms
900g Chestnut Mushrooms
This Isn’t Bacon Lardons x 2
Sainsburys FF cream cheese – 3 pots
Smoked paprika
Garlic granules
Chives chopped
Roasted Celeriac
Juicy Marbles Loin – lightly season and sit for at least an hour before roasting.
Roasted tomatoes on the vine with thyme
Artichokes, garlic and rosemary
Asparagus (add butter and seasoning).
Drinks:
Cocktails 3 options and make sugar free when you can or don’t drink those with sugary liqueurs in. Hugo – best option for keto, Espresso Martini – the worst thing about that is the Kahlua, Porn Star Martini – a definite no but had it for my guests but no one drank it anyway!
Red wine – pinot noirCrémant Beer for anyone who wantedWhite and rose wine – always opt for dryest you can findG&T
