No Dairy Here!
One of the hardest things to give up on a keto diet is desserts. Pinterest is full of fat bomb recipes, and there are lots of cookie and cake options floating around. Quite frankly, there are far too many that rely on heavy whipping cream and cream cheese. Dairy doesn’t agree with most people. So, as they try getting healthier by slimming down #ketoforlife style, they sacrifice inflammation for low carb cheescakes and keto ice cream. We created this recipe for those people aching for just a few berries. Obviously, fruit is limited in low carb diets, but it need not be banished entirely. If you measure properly, and balance out the rest of your meals (macro-wise) you can have your blueberries, and eat them too.

Is there anything else you can recommend as a substitute, when you have food sensitivities to dairy and coconut? Thanks!
Hi!
We actually don’t cook with much dairy at all. The very rare recipe might have a little goat cheese. That’s the beauty of the 131! For dairy, we often sub in a cashew cheese (or coconut, which is sounds like you can’t have). Coconut can be tricky; it depends on what. Milks – you can try other ones like almond, cashew, hemp or flax. For coconut flour- there’s nothing that’s as thick, so you’d need a blend of something like almond and cassava.
