What is a ketogenic diet?
A ketogenic diet is a unique low-carb diet with multiple health benefits.
The keto diet replaces your carb intake with fat. This will reduce the number of calories you burn, but may lead to more hunger than usual if you have a high sugar level for instance.
So eating foods like brownies or ice creams can help control this by providing some sweetening elements that keep things balanced between all different types.
What Ice Creams to Eat on Keto Diet?
Everyone thinks that keto ice cream may kick him/her out of ketosis. But these homemade low-carb ketogenic ice creams will not create that situation.
You can take non-veg and tasty ice cream after your meal. But the eating should be limited to one per day. Only then it’s good for your health.
Remember that all of these ice creams are gluten free. So if you are searching for desserts without gluten, you are in right place.
Avocado Tuna Ice Cream
Avocado tuna ice cream is low in carbs and delicious. When we make homemade recipes, this is our go-to recipe every time!
Since both avocado and tunas are lower in carbs, they’re a great addition to homemade keto ice cream. It contains fewer sugars than some other ketogenic ice creams.
To make low carb avocado tuna ice cream at home, blend 4 cups of heavy cream(960 grams) with 3 tbsp of buttermilk(15 grams), 1 tbsp vanilla extract, 1/3 medium (50 grams) of fresh avocado flesh, 1/4 cup smoked tuna chopped(50 grams), and 1/4 cup of allulose (50 grams).
