Instructions

  1. Arrange the thinly sliced apples on a large plate or platter in a single layer, slightly overlapping for full coverage.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the almond butter and melted coconut oil until smooth. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the apple slices.
  3. Sprinkle the toasted shredded coconut and chopped walnuts over the apples, ensuring an even distribution.
  4. Lightly dust the assembled nachos with cinnamon, adding warmth and depth to the dish.
  5. Melt the sugar-free chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Drizzle over the nachos for a final touch of sweetness.
  6. Serve immediately, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully, or chill for 10 minutes if you prefer a firmer texture.

Crunchy, sweet, and satisfying, these Keto Apple Nachos offer a delightful contrast of textures and flavors. Perfect for a quiet afternoon treat or as a shared dessert that sparks conversation.

Keto Apple Pie Smoothie

Keto Apple Pie Smoothie

Falling into the rhythm of a quiet morning, there’s something deeply comforting about blending a smoothie that feels like dessert but fuels the body with goodness. This Keto Apple Pie Smoothie is a whisper of autumn any day of the year, blending the familiar spices of apple pie with the creamy, dreamy texture of a smoothie.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any nut milk for creaminess)
  • 1/2 cup frozen cauliflower rice (for thickness without the carbs)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 1 tbsp almond butter (for a nutty depth)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (the secret to that pie flavor)
  • 1 tbsp granulated erythritol (or sweetener of choice, adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup ice cubes (for that frosty texture)

Instructions

  1. Pour the almond milk into your blender first to ensure smooth blending.
  2. Add the frozen cauliflower rice, heavy cream, almond butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and erythritol to the blender.
  3. Blend on high for 30 seconds, then pause to scrape down the sides with a spatula to incorporate any stuck ingredients.
  4. Add the ice cubes and blend again on high for another 30-45 seconds until the mixture is smooth and frosty.
  5. Tip: For an extra smooth texture, let the blender run a little longer than you think necessary.
  6. Tip: Taste and adjust the sweetness or spices if needed before the final blend.
  7. Tip: If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
  8. Pour into a glass and sprinkle a little cinnamon on top for that classic apple pie look.

With each sip, the smoothie unfolds layers of warmth from the cinnamon and nutmeg, while the almond butter adds a subtle richness. Serve it in a chilled glass with a cinnamon stick for stirring, turning a simple drink into a moment of indulgence.
