My intent making this is so that we can share and get ideas from each other.
I have a list of 5 items that I always have to get
1. Butter - I fry all my veg in it and it tastes so much better than boiling it.
2. Cream - i usually go for fresh if I can but Elmlea single cream alternative has a great shelflife
3. Coconut Cream - I can add this to coffee and I fry my meats in it , so versitle
4. Frozen vegetables - I get all my spinach, brocoli, sliced peppers, caulifower, garlic, onions frozen in 1kg bags. mostly cheaper
5. Philadelphia Cream cheese or alternative - Makes for a great sauce for any mean really if you and a few spices.
How about you, what are you essenstials.

Hi
I have been doing the keto diet for around 6 weeks now, and have now got in to routine with my eating. breakfast usually involves a bullet proof coffee which is a black coffee with a teaspoon of organic coconut oil, and a knob of Kerrygold grassfed butter. I also have 2 to 3 scrambled eggs, also scrambled in butter.
Lunch tends to be a peace of meat with around 100 grams of grean leafy salad and evening meal can be the same or just an omlette with cheese and spinach.
I tend to have around 3 of the bullet proof coffees a day although sometimes put the mct oil in tea. without milk. on occassion i use coconut milk in my coffee and tea or lacto free cream.0 -
I started by following the ruled.me 30 day plan. So recopies that have stuck mainly involve:
- Spinach and Bok Choi, I can't get enough for salads and stir fries
- Caesar and Ranch dressings, different brands have different carbs so I always check
- Tinned fish in olive/sunflower oil, useful for lunch at work
- Tesco Finest 97% Pork Sausages, Bacon & Minced beef, Stew beef for slow cooking
- Broccoli, Cali flower
Recently discovered Quest bars and love them, as I was a Chocolate fiend before keto.0 -
The items I always make sure I have are.
1- Ceam always double always fresh. Great for coffee and cooking veg in.
2- Coconut oil usually coldpressed and organic.
3- Cheap meat cuts (invest in a slow cooker folks)
4- Cheese, cream cheese or hard its pretty much a staple
5- Green leafy vegetables. Kale, spinach and broccoli are my main ones. High in everything you want low in things you don't.0
