Best Moments
“Next time I will use only 50g of the sugar.”
“You can’t take it out once you’ve put it in!”
“We know already don’t we! I am no chef for sure”
Ingredients & Instructions:
Brownies: Serves: 16
Ingredients
60g almond flour
40g cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
100g Truvia brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt
90g chocolate, roughly chopped
30g coconut oil
90g smooth peanut butter
30g maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 flax eggs: 2 tablespoons ground flax mixed with 5 tablespoons water, mixture needs to sit for 15 minutes
OR
Orgran No Egg, Egg Replace for 2 eggs. If using this you may need to add a bit of plant milk once mixed.
60g no added sugar chocolate chips or roughly chop some low sugar dark chocolate or you can get these from Amazon: https://amzn.to/48uLuXQ
70g Walnuts chopped (optional)
What to do
If using flax eggs, first prepare these by combining the ground flax with water. Allow to sit for 15 mins while preparing the rest of the batter. If using egg replacement follow the instructions on the box to make 2 eggs. The results are better with the Orgran No Egg.
Preheat your oven to 180°C and line an 8x8 inch square pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl combine the almond flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt, set aside.
In a medium microwave melt the 90g of chopped chocolate. Once melted add in the peanut butter and stir to combine.
Allow to cool slightly then stir in the coconut oil, then the maple syrup, vanilla and eggs and whisk until evenly combined.
Whisk the dry mixture into the wet until just combined (be careful not to over mix). Then fold in the chopped chocolate and walnuts. It is at this stage that you’ll know whether you need to add some plant milk – just a tiny bit at a time until you get a slightly wet batter.
Transfer the batter to the lined baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until just set in the centre.
Allow to cool completely to room temp before cutting into squares.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze and thaw for another time.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge:
Ingredients
510g sugar free chocolate, chopped or chips
1 carton coconut cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
70g Truvia for Cooking caster
1/4 teaspoon salt, optional
60g peanut butter, warmed in the microwave for 30 seconds once ready to add to the fudge
2 double measures of Peanut Butter liqueur
Instructions
Line an 8 x 8-inch tin with parchment paper, set aside.
In a bain-marie, combine the chocolate and the coconut milk. Heat until fully melted and them remove from the heat - you don't want to overcook the chocolate.
Add the vanilla, and salt (if using) and Truvia and mix well.
Add the liqueur and taste to test.
Transfer into the prepared tin.
Melt the peanut butter Pour over the slightly melted runny peanut butter using a zigzag motion.
Using a knife, swirl the peanut butter through the chocolate.
Allow the fudge to set in the fridge for a minimum of 5 hours to overnight. Once the fudge has set, remove it from the tin and slice it into tiny squares.
Cover and store in the fridge for up to 10 days.
Notes
This will melt if left at room temperature so must be stored in the fridge at all times.
This fudge can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To eat from frozen just thaw to fridge temperature and serve.

Welcome to another episode of The Keto Vegan, the podcast where I delve into the world of Keto Veganism and navigate the challenges of festive celebrations. I'm your host Rachel, and today I’m tackling a timely topic: surviving the Christmas holidays with our keto and vegan principles intact.
In this episode, I'll be your guide through the seasonal maze, exploring the importance of planning ahead to maintain your dietary goals, strategies for coping with social pressure and resisting temptations, and the powerful tool of mindfulness to keep you centred amidst the holiday hustle.
So, grab your favourite keto-friendly snack and join us on this journey to not just survive but thrive through the Christmas festivities. Let's dive into the heart of the season and discover how to make it a joyous and fulfilling experience while staying true to your Keto Vegan lifestyle.
So many personal health benefits of following this diet, as well as the environmental benefits of course. Health benefits include:
For example, studies have observed that vegans have a 75% lower risk of developing high blood pressure and up to a 78% risk reduction of type 2 diabetes.
What’s more, vegans tend to weigh less than non-vegans, and those who adopt vegan diets are more successful at losing weight than people who eat animal products.
The keto diet is well known for its effectiveness in weight loss, blood sugar control and reduced heart disease risk factors.
A study in 58 obese children and teens showed that participants following a ketogenic diet lost significantly more weight and fat mass than those on a low-calorie diet.
Ketogenic diets have also been shown to reduce heart disease risk factors, including high triglycerides, blood pressure and “bad” LDL cholesterol
Planning ahead is absolutely vital.
Highly likely you’ll get cravings especially when confronted with so much non keto food.
Visualisation can be essential – when wake up, visualise self being in control, powerful, happy, proud of yourself.
How I’m planning ahead – I find vegan is easy, the keto bit is the more challenging especially as I’m entertaining and have opened up the food list to all who are coming! What I’m planning to give me a fighting chance!
Seed crackers, I’ve bought some vegan cheese from I Am NUT OK – some carb counts are high but others OK. I have a food list with carbs, fat, protein listed that I’m always editing – send me a screenshot that you follow my podcast and you can have access to it for free.
keto desserts such as raspberry cream pie (episode #23),
roast celeriac,
roast Jerusalem artichokes, Jerusalem artichoke is a rich source of complex carbs and, although high in natural sugars, has minimal effect on blood sugar levels. Jerusalem artichokes also offer a bit of protein, along with numerous vitamins and minerals.
if I was bothered for stuffing – there’s a link below, but I’d replace the sausage meat (this is an American recipe) with good old Beyond burgers defrosted and broken up.
I’ll be making cocktails but this is hard to make winter cocktails keto.
Low carb and vegan snacks: cream cheese on seed crackers, or with low carb veg/crudites
Coping with the social pressure and temptation
This can be the hardest and most challenging part of it.
You may well be judged. How to cope with this? Be confident in your choices. You’re the one that’s on this journey. You have come to the decision to eat this way because of things that have happened in your past. You don’t need to explain it to them either! But, if you do – BE KIND. Be respectful of where they are at. Don’t get into a debate.
Don’t do guilt trips (about the animals and environment). Most of us were also meat eaters in our pasts, I know my head was in the proverbial sand for such a long time and at the right moment I saw the right documentary that changed my life (more on this in Episode 1). Who are we to judge? If we are quick to judge others it tells us a lot about ourselves.
Talking of judging – set yourself realistic goals, track your progress – you can use urinalysis strips for this, find a healthy way to reward yourself for the effort you put in.
Mindfulness
What are your triggers?
Breathe.
Set a random alarm through the day – to check in with yourself.. I use a free app called RemindMe Play Store - image of a blue alarm clock with a red dice in front of it just in case you want to find this yourself.
Afformations – Noah St. John book and idea. Uses questions instead of “I am” statements. 4 steps to creating a new you using afformations.
Identify what you want and write it down
Form this into a ‘why’ question that assumes what you want is already true.
Give yourself to the question. Don’t answer it, focus on what you have, let your brain look for the answer. Read the Q, write it, say it, listen to it.
Take new actions (action is vital) based on your new assumptions about life.
Guided meditations – can be found on my YouTube channel @RachelGhinn – I’m a hypnotherapist, therapist and life coach so use this channel to post free visualisations and meditations. I’m also a secondary school teacher and have put on a few visualisations for my students.
“I am enough”
Could try Tapping – I found Jessica Ortner’s book “The Tapping Solution for Weight Loss and Body Confidence” helpful – I listened to it rather than read it which meant I could go through the tapping processes with her.
Finally – When you're hungry, eat. Eat what you keto vegan want, Eat consciously. When you think you're full - STOP.

Welcome, Keto Vegan enthusiasts! In today's episode, your host Rachel brings you an extraordinary guest whose journey into the realm of plant-based living is both fascinating and inspiring. Rachel had the pleasure of interviewing Paloma, a remarkable individual hailing from the picturesque landscapes of Switzerland. Paloma's unique perspective on veganism was ignited at the tender age of 10 when she realized that animals were not mere commodities but her friends, leading her to make the compassionate choice of adopting a vegetarian lifestyle. Over the years, her commitment deepened, and she embraced the path of veganism. What sets Paloma apart is her extraordinary ability to communicate with animals, allowing her to understand their needs on a profound level. Join Rachel and Paloma as they delve into the intricacies of a keto vegan lifestyle, exploring the intersection of compassion, health, and the remarkable connection between humans and the animal kingdom.
Key Takeaways
Paloma became vegetarian at 10 years old.
Her parents didn’t understand her choice and forced her to eat meat at least once a week which she found incredibly distressing.
Paloma always had animals in her life and when she was a young adult she heard a horse communicate with her.
Best Moments
“They thought I needed meat in order to grow properly and healthy.”
“That was the animal’s feelings that went into the meat and you ate them.”
“We don’t want to address what is actually happening until it hits us in the face…”
“The horse comes up to me, puts its nose in one container, doesn’t drink, puts its nose in the other container, doesn’t drink, looks at me, and I have the feeling I hear a ‘thank you’.”

Hello, wonderful listeners of 'The Keto Vegan' podcast! Today, your host Rachel is bringing you a quick and delightful episode that's sure to satisfy your cravings for a crunchy, flavourful snack. Get ready to embark on a culinary adventure as Rachel guides you through the art of crafting the perfect Seed Crackers. These little delights are not only a breeze to make but also align seamlessly with the keto and vegan lifestyles. If you've been yearning for that satisfying crunch while staying true to your dietary choices, these crackers are a game-changer. Packed with nutrient-rich seeds, they not only tantalize your taste buds but also offer a boost of fibre, contributing to your overall well-being. So, grab your apron and join Rachel in this short and sweet episode as she shares the secrets to creating these delectable, guilt-free Seed Crackers that will elevate your keto vegan snacking experience!
Ingredients:
For nutritional information see ‘Valuable Resources’ below.
1⁄3 cup almond flour
1 1⁄3 cup seeds
1 tablespoon ground psyllium husk powder (link below)
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons melted coconut oil
1 cup boiling water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Add boiling water and oil. Mix together.
Place the mix/dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. What I use is very similar to Bake-O-Glide (link below) and NOTHING sticks to it – it is so useful and I highly recommend it. Cut it into the size pieces you want and it lasts for years.
Spread out with the back of a metal spoon (or something that the mix doesn’t stick to).
Bake on the lower rack for about 40-45 minutes, check occasionally. Seeds are heat sensitive so pay close attention towards the end.
Turn off the oven and leave the crackers to dry in the oven. Once dried and cool, break into pieces and use with Philadelphia cream cheese and my onion marmalade [episode #19] – it’s scrummy.

Hello, wonderful listeners of 'The Keto Vegan' podcast! Today, your host Rachel is bringing you a quick and delightful episode that's sure to satisfy your cravings for a crunchy, flavourful snack. Get ready to embark on a culinary adventure as Rachel guides you through the art of crafting the perfect Seed Crackers. These little delights are not only a breeze to make but also align seamlessly with the keto and vegan lifestyles. If you've been yearning for that satisfying crunch while staying true to your dietary choices, these crackers are a game-changer. Packed with nutrient-rich seeds, they not only tantalize your taste buds but also offer a boost of fibre, contributing to your overall well-being. So, grab your apron and join Rachel in this short and sweet episode as she shares the secrets to creating these delectable, guilt-free Seed Crackers that will elevate your keto vegan snacking experience!
Ingredients:
For nutritional information see ‘Valuable Resources’ below.
1⁄3 cup almond flour
1 1⁄3 cup seeds
1 tablespoon ground psyllium husk powder (link below)
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons melted coconut oil
1 cup boiling water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Add boiling water and oil. Mix together.
Place the mix/dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. What I use is very similar to Bake-O-Glide (link below) and NOTHING sticks to it – it is so useful and I highly recommend it. Cut it into the size pieces you want and it lasts for years.
Spread out with the back of a metal spoon (or something that the mix doesn’t stick to).
Bake on the lower rack for about 40-45 minutes, check occasionally. Seeds are heat sensitive so pay close attention towards the end.
Turn off the oven and leave the crackers to dry in the oven. Once dried and cool, break into pieces and use with Philadelphia cream cheese and my onion marmalade [episode #19] – it’s scrummy.
