Adopting a diet that is both vegan and keto can seem like a challenge, but with the right ingredients and a little creativity, it's totally possible to make delicious meals!
1. Chia Seeds
Rich in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, chia seeds are a great addition to your vegan keto diet. They can be used to make pudding, thicken smoothies, or as an egg substitute in baking recipes.
