If you didn't catch my latest recipe for #lowcarb blueberry muffins, head over to www.barefootlowcarb.com (or click the link in bio) and check it out! Only 3g net carbs per serving. Welp. Got the Rona. My first thought since I'm stuck at home was "I'm going to bake and cook ALL the things!" You guys... You should be grateful I did not write a bunch of recipes for you all. I can't smell the difference between coffee, minced garlic, and pickles (I just tried) 😂 I'm going to drink all the immune boosting herbal teas I panic bought in March 2020 and maybe get around to eating those kinds of weird things you leave in the back of the freezer even though you never actually expect to eat them because they came out so badly. No more #foodwaste right!? For those who are wondering, I feel lethargic, congested, and sneezy... Like a cold. I'm 31, generally have a great immune system (super grateful for that!), and got my 2nd Moderna dose in April. One of my favorite things is saving seeds. When shit goes down, I'll be over here living off sunflower seeds like a bird lol 🌻 New recipe: Dairy-free keto blueberry muffins! Only 3g net carbs each. Fresh summer blueberries and vanilla are a classic flavor combo... Now in a delicious low-carb recipe. This recipe uses eggs to make a nice fluffy springy texture. If you use an egg substitute, let me know how it goes! Enjoy! #Smoothies all day everyday. Ok ok, not all day... But one smoothie most days 😉 It's so easy to make healthy low carb vegan smoothies and I love how refreshing they are in the summertime. Plus they are easy to bring with you to-go if needed. It's blackberry season on the West Coast! 😍 I LOVE foraging and I LOVE blackberries. Plus, they are low carb and full of antioxidants. What are your favorite dishes featuring berries? Let's ketofy them! Did you know that consuming spearmint lowers androgens (such as testosterone)? This is great news for people with PCOS! This is why I am often including it in my tea. This fresh spearmint comes from my garden. I love fresh spearmint iced tea on a hot summer day... So refreshing! It's been a long day and my lover just asked me if I wanted anything from the store. I told him, "I don't know... a treat." This is what he brought me. He knows me well 😂 Soul cysters! I've done a good chunk of research into treating PCOS with phytotherapy (herbs). And this tea is my favorite prepared brand that has ingredients shown to support menstrual regulation. PCOS is understood by nutritionists to be a disorder related to insulin resistance and that's why a "sugar balance" is very important! This tea includes hormone regulating herbs -- for example, dong quai helps regulate estrogen and licorice helps regulate blood sugar. When I first started eating keto to treat PCOS, I used to make a big French press of tea with this and other herbs. Then I'd pour a bit of coconut oil into my cup for a bulletproof tea. That probably sounds bizarre and gross but I learned to enjoy it! Thick, herbal, and nourishing. Maybe I'm just a weirdo!
