Low Carb Cereal Ingredients
You’ll love the benefits of the Gluten-Free Cereal ingredients:
Benefits of Chia Seeds
Chia seeds are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and they are loaded with fiber, iron, and calcium.
Omega- 3 fatty acids protect against heart attack and stroke by helping raise HDL cholesterol, the "good" cholesterol. Benefits of MCT Oil
Benefits of Coconut
Coconut is high in healthy saturated fats that are much different than the saturated fats you are told to avoid.
These healthy fats boost fat burning and provide quick energy to your brain. And like chia seeds raise the HDL cholesterol in your blood
oh and did I mention it is also good for your hair and skin too.
Sweetener for Low Carb Cereal
You may not need to add any extra sweetener. However, if you do need additional sweeteness I recommend using a liquid sweetener. The granulated sweeteners won’t fully dissolve since this is a cold Keto Cereal Recipe.
The liquid sweetener I use is Lakanto Liquid Monk Fruit Extract. It’s zero calories, no sugar or added artificial flavoring, and has no bitter aftertaste like other sugar alternatives.
It’s perfect to carry with you on the go to sweeten drinks, coffee or even water since there are several flavors.
How to Make Low Carb Cereal
As you will see in the recipe and instructions below, I make the low carb Cereal blend ahead of time and store it in a large mason jar.
You chop up almonds, walnuts, macadamia nuts, pumpkin seeds and combine them with unsweetened coconut flakes and chia seeds.
Each morning just add 45g of the mixture, a half ounce of frozen blueberries, sweetener and unsweetened almond milk to a bowl! And you got yourself a tasty bowl of low carb Cereal.
More recently I have been adding three additional supplements to my bowl a Nootropics blend, adaptogen blend and collagen for even greater health benefits!
Optional Low Carb Breakfast Cereal Supplements
When adding in the supplements to my low carb cereal, I add 8oz of almond milk to a shaker cup add in the three supplements below, shake it up and then pour some of it into the low carb cereal and then drink the rest.
These are the three low carb supplements I add into my Keto Cereal Recipe every morning
Just Ingredients Chocolate Protein Powder A deliciously chocolate, all-natural protein powder made with five different protein sources and flavored without artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols. Made with 100% grass-fed, non-denatured whey from New Zealand.
Four Stigmatic Adaptogen Blend- 10 species of different adaptogens that are all widely researched including: reishi and cordyceps, ginseng, ashwagandha, tulsi, gynostemma, ginger and turmeric. I started adding this blend to help with adrenal fatigue, anxiety, calming nerves and better sleep!
Low Carb Cereal
Whether you make your Keto cereal with or without the supplements it will be low carb, but the nutrition facts will be slightly different.
