    How can one be vegan and keto?
  • Way easier way to make vegan ice cream is just to freeze some bananas and blend them up...it's pretty close in consistency then add whatever you want (that's vegan, not ghee) for flavor. I don't know about cauliflower though..that sounds a little nasty, but who knows.

    Ghee is clarified butter. It's not vegan. Maybe you could sub that out for coconut oil or something to make it fully vegan.
    I'm guessing the vegans around here already know about and use the vegan alternatives, as I do when I prepare food for my vegan brother. But you certainly have my apologies if I've offended. I'll edit the OP so no one accidentally consumes animals.
    I'm not offended at all, and I'd assume that anyone who is vegan knows not to eat ghee. It was more of a "wtf, that's so not vegan??" thing on my part, although it would irritate me if I were vegan and someone made this for me. I'm vegetarian and I've had people make me dishes before that "don't have meat, just some bacon bits." *headdesk*

    Yes, it's really a thing: Vanilla Blueberry Cauliflower Ice Cream

    Ingredients:
    -Whole cauliflower
    -Stevia drops
    -1 TB coconut oil (or ghee if you're not vegan)
    -Lemon
    -150g Blueberries
    -Double Shot of coconut, quinoa, or almond milk (or milk sub of your choice)
    -Vanilla pod
    -Pinch of Himalayan salt

    Boil the cauliflower until it's super soft. Drain off liquid. Add ghee and scraped vanilla bean seeds. Squeeze juice of half a lemon. Grate in some zest for added flavor. Blend in food processor/blender. During blending, add in enough milk to give it a velvety smooth texture. Add 3-7 drops of stevia based on taste. Add salt. Blend again. Place in container and refrigerate taking it out every couple of hours and blending it again for super smooth texture. Alternatively, let it cool and place in ice cream machine.

    ***I've taken some liberties with the directions to make them a little more clear and remove some errors.***

    A lot of bacon bits are vegetarian: McCormack Bac'n Pieces, Durkee Bacon Bits, and Betty Crocker Bac-os all are.

    I don't think I would ever be so desperate to stay under my calories that I'd be willing to try a cauliflower "ice cream". I'd rather work off a scoop of the real stuff.

    (but maybe this is why I have 20 lbs to lose!)

    Hey! Leave the GHEE alone! It ain't the GHEE's fault. ;)

    MFP operates in opposite land when it comes to locking stuff down...

    anything with pseudo science, detoxes, clean eating, et al is allowed to continue forever..

    post something helpful, have it made controversial by certain posters, and the whole thing gets locked down..

    go figure...

    Why is this supposed to be locked down? I didn't say anything about any psuedo science. Keto vegans have to eat too! I was just trying to be supportive by offering options. And no one said anything about Jesus yet. Wait....oops.

    But thanks for your input.

    Is there no end to the cauliflower substitutions? I like cauliflower. A lot. I eat it in things like mashed cauliflower, and cauliflower pizza casseroles. They are delicious, but they are cauliflower and don't pretend to be anything but. But cauliflower ice cream? No! nononononono. No.
