Homemade Toasted Almond Coconut Cereal and Bulletproof Coffee
I have been trying a couple of different recipes when it comes to cereal. The other day I tried a hot cereal recipe – Hot Flax cereal.
I have had a diet of eggs for breakfast with some vegetables and/or a zero to one carb meat side since I started. It varies from week to week by what’s been on sale. I really started to miss some cereal. While searching some Keto and Low Carb sites I ran across WickedStuffed and her Homemade Keto Crunchy Cereal.
Homemade Toasted Almond Coconut Cereal
I took 1/4 c unsweetened coconut flakes (I used Bob’s Red Mills; about 3 net carbs) and toasted them in the oven on 350 for about five minutes. Let them cool for a minute before placing them in a bowl. I then poured 1/2c unsweetened coconut almond milk (I used Blue Diamond brand; 0 net carbs) over the coconut and added 1 pack of Splenda (0.9 net carbs); sprinkling it on top of the coconut and milk.

for the coffee I do about 1 tsp of butter and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil Also, it drastically changes the flavor by adding vanilla extract/flavoring and some cinnamon or pumpking pie spice. I love it!!
I am going to have to try that. I am just not a huge butter fan. Too much of it leaves a funky taste/coating in my mouth. The coconut oil doesn’t seem to bother me. I love adding spices to my coffee; I should try another batch doing that because I desperately need a break from eggs. I love my eggs and don’t mind eating them every day – but I do mind cooking them every day.
