If you're looking for some variety in your keto-vegan lifestyle, here is a list of 40 easy keto-vegan recipes that are delicious and satisfying.

Following a Keto lifestyle has become increasingly popular in recent years with recipes exploding all over the internet. But following a Keto diet that does not include meat, dairy or eggs is a little more challenging as it does limit the types of foods you can eat.

Keto Vegan Lifestyle in a nutshell

Basically the keto vegan diet means following a low-carb, high fat, moderate protein lifestyle and limiting carbohydrate intake to below 50g per day in order to enter and stay in ketosis.

Following a high fat, low carb diet has numerous benefits including curbing hunger, weight loss, reduced blood sugar and insulin spikes.

The blueprint for a keto vegan diet is making sure your dominant macro nutrient is fat along with the other two.

Fat: 55–60%
Protein: 30–35%
Carbohydrates: 5–10%

Basics of the Keto Vegan Diet

Eliminate all meat, fish, dairy, eggs
Include low-carb vegetables and fruits
Keep carbohydrate intake to below 50g (according to Health Line)
Get protein from tofu, beans (in moderation)
Eat plant derived fats from avocado, nuts, coconut butter, healthy oils, nuts and seeds
Don't forget to supplement with vitamin B12, Omega 3 Fatty Acids, Zinc, Iron and Calcium
