If you are following a ketogenic diet (high in healthy fats, moderate protein, and lower carb), it is imperative that you consume vegetables – lots of them!!! The key is choosing the right ones that enable you to get the nutrients you need to stay healthy while still allowing your body to use fat as its primary fuel. Leafy greens and sulfur-rich vegetables are an important part of a ketogenic diet.
Here’s my delicious soup recipe made with some garlic, onion, zucchini, spinach, healthy fats (like organic ghee and extra virgin olive oil), and leftover roasted chicken. Ready in under 30 minutes!!
Benefits:
💪 Spinach: anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting, rich in Vit C, high in magnesium, and aids in detoxification
💪 Onion and garlic: anti-inflammatory, sulfur-rich, cancer-fighting, combats heart disease, and antimicrobial, antiviral and antifungal properties help treat cold and flu symptoms
