BREAKFAST- 50 g / 1.8 oz Romaine lettuce or baby gem lettuce
- 15 g / a tablespoon butter
- 30 g / 1.1 oz cucumbers sliced
- A half of an avocado
- 2 cherry tomatoes
Rinse the lettuce thoroughly and use as a base for the toppings. Smear butter on the lettuce leaves and put the previously sliced cucumbers, avocado and tomatoes on the lettuce.
- 2 1/2 tbsp. butter
- 3 tbsp. keto chocolate chips, divided
- Lecithin.
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 2/3 c. blanched almond flour
- 1/3 c. confectioners Swerve
- 3 1/2 tbsp. dark unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- Pinch kosher salt
Preheat oven to 325 F. In a medium-sized bowl, add the butter and half of the chocolate chips. Microwave for 15 to 30 seconds – just enough time to slightly melt the butter and chocolate. Mix the two together until a chocolate sauce forms.
In a small dish, add and whisk lecithin. Once it does, add it and the vanilla extract to the bowl with the chocolate sauce. Mix again.
Add the rest of the dry ingredients – saving some of the chocolate chips to top the cookies with. Mix until a ball of chocolate cookie dough forms.
Use a cookie scoop (or a tablespoon) to form 11 equal sized cookies. Add the cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and top each cookie with the remaining chocolate chips. Flatten each cookie with either a spoon or a spatula.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. They should be soft.Let the cookies cool down in the baking sheet. As they cool they will set and firm up.
