This porridge is a powerful blend of healthy fats from almonds and coconut, and fiber-rich flaxseed that supports digestion and satiety. It’s not only grain-free and dairy-free but also completely sugar-free, making it perfect for anyone following a strict keto diet.
Why This Keto Porridge Works
Traditional oatmeal has approximately 27g of carbs per half-cup serving—too high for keto. By replacing grains with shredded coconut, almond flour, and flaxseed, this porridge keeps carbs low while offering texture and creaminess.
According to the USDA FoodData Central, ground flaxseed provides 2g of fiber per tablespoon, helping to slow digestion and keep blood sugar stable. Healthy fats from coconut also support ketone production and energy levels.
