Keto Kitchen Essentials
You probably have seen all the buzz about the Ketogenic Diet, it has been all over the news and most and most people are following the plan. I first learned about if from a friend that lost a lot of weight. Then I started researching it and found out all the benefits for your health. It is not only for weight loss. It helps with inflamation and other diseases as well.
I decided then to jump on the wagon and I am happy to report the weight is coming off and I feel great with a lot of energy and mental clarity. Besides meal planning and making sure you read labels and buy foods that are on the approved Keto list, you also want to add some essentials to your kitchen.
Here it is a list I put together with the Keto Kitchen Essentials I cannot live without.
Please note that this post contains affiliated links, that means that if you buy the items from the links here you are supporting my healthy living and keto grocery shopping.

Crock-Pot

Crock-Pot SCCPVL600S Cook' N Carry 6-Quart Oval Manual Portable Slow Cooker, Stainless Steel

​Vegetable Spiralizer

Spiral Slicer Vegetable Zoodle Spiralizer - Veggie Noodle Maker Pasta Cutter - With Kitchen Peeler Bundle
Zoodles anyone? You can use the spiralizer for almost any vegetable, but I use it mostly for zucchini to make noodles and eat instead of past.

The integrated super sharp stainless steel blades and handles give this ideal spaghetti maker 
The sharpest slice possible and the thicker blade opening mean no shredding, clogging or jamming.

If you love your morning coffee with lots of froth and foam, then you certainly want to have Powerlix frothing wand at home or your café style cappuccino. It comes with a stand for easy storage and can be kept on the countertop.
  • BATTERY OPERATED FOR PERFECT FROTH IN NO TIME: The mixer is battery powered so you don't have to worry about cords and finding sockets. Heat up the milk, immerse the espresso maker into the cup and turn it on. The milk foamer will start creating creamy froth on the milk instantly. Within 15 - 20 seconds, you have a cup filled with creamy froth and ready to go into your coffee latte.
