Best Vegan Keto Cookbook

If you love cooking and making homemade treats and meals for your family, cookbooks are always great to have around. However, finding cookbooks that cater to niche diets can be a hard task, especially for the vegan keto diet. Fortunately, some options exists, so lets take a look at the best vegan keto cookbooks.

Will Cole’s “Ketotarian: The (Mostly) Plant-Based Plan to Burn Fat, Boost Your Energy, Crush Your Cravings, and Calm Inflammation” offers some great recipes that are unfortunately geared towards vegetarians rather than vegans. Meaning that this cookbook does offer some great ideas that can get you started on developing a vegan keto meal plan, but you will have to be conscious that some of the recipes will need to be adapted and re-calibrated to fit the vegan lifestyle. There are also some criticisms that the recipes are somewhat higher in net-carbs than a keto dieter should be eating.

Elli Thomston’s “Vegan Keto Cookbook: 30 Day Meal Plan and 100 Vegan Ketogenic Diet Recipes for Enjoying A Low-Carb Plant-Based Vegan Keto Lifestyle” is the first vegan keto geared book on this list and generally one of the highest rated cookbooks for the vegan keto lifestyle. Among the features of the cookbook are 30 day meal plans for the vegan keto diet, and over 100 different vegan keto recipes. The recipes themselves are also composed to use common and easy to find ingredients that don’t require you to travel across the world to find them. Nutritional facts are included for every recipe featured in the book, allowing you to see for yourself how each particular meal will fit into your diet plan. Some readers did claim that some typos and errors were present in the book, some of which called  for non-vegan ingredients.

Liz MacDowell’s “Vegan Keto” offers over 60 vegan keto diet recipes, weekly meal plans, and shopping lists to aid you in using her system. “Vegan Keto” lays out a nutrient based vegan keto diet system that focuses on staying healthy rather than adhering to a strict and possibly counter-productive diet. Among different dishes included are recipes for tacos, cupcakes, snicker-doodles, and waffles all made with vegan ingredients. It should be noted that this books recipes are geared towards more devoted vegans and may include harder to acquire ingredients. There were also some complaints from readers that the book had filer recipes and relied heavily on olives. However, as with Cole’s “Ketotarian” some simple substitutions and creativity can solve those flaws.

Lastly we have Cyntia Allen’s “Keto Vegan Cookbook For Beginners: Craveable Ketogenic Diet Recipes Made Easy For Vegans”. As the title states, this cookbook is geared more towards those just getting into the vegan keto diet. The book includes some chapters on how to properly start the diet and various nutrients that you need to pay attention to while on the diet. Alongside that it has 75 recipes and a 21 day meal plan. While it can be criticized for not just adding another 7 days to the meal plan to give you a whole month, it is still a decent read for a beginner to the diet. One other criticism is that the recipes do call for artificial sweeteners and some processed foods, meaning that it may not really help you if you’re only wanting 100% natural food recipes.

These 4 books should be able to help you get started on the keto vegan diet. You may still have to do some substitutions and creative changes here and there with the recipes included in the books, but they are far more geared to your lifestyle than a normal cookbook will be.
