Craving a cozy bowl of porridge without the carbs? This Keto Porridge recipe is thick, comforting, and totally grain-free — perfect for chilly mornings or when you’re missing a warm breakfast bowl on your ketogenic journey.
Why Keto Porridge Works
Traditional oatmeal and porridge are off-limits on keto due to their high carb content. This version uses keto-friendly ingredients like flaxseed meal, chia seeds, and hemp hearts to provide:
- Healthy fats: Over 30g per serving to keep you full and energized.
- Fiber-rich ingredients: Help support digestion and stabilize blood sugar.
- Low net carbs: Just 12.8g total carbs with plenty of fiber, making it keto-compatible.
Stat Spotlight: A 2020 study in Nutrients confirms that diets high in soluble fiber from seeds like chia and flax may help regulate glucose and improve metabolic markers in low-carb dieters.
