    This grain-free Chocolate Granola makes a fabulous low carb breakfast. My review of The KetoDiet Cookbook.

    Low Carb Grain Free Chocolate Granola Recipe

    I will be the first to admit that I hate doing cookbook reviews. Here’s the deal: I get at least 4 to 5 press releases for new cookbooks a week, most of which come with a request for me to review the book. If I accepted every cookbook review that came my way, I’d spend all my time making other people’s recipes and have no time for creating my own. And if I did that, I might as well rename the blog “All Day I Dream About Cookbooks”. Doesn’t have quite the same ring to it, now does it?

    The Keto Diet Cookbook

    So I decided long ago only to review those cookbooks that I already know will be fantastic and that fit my audience’s needs to a T. And The KetoDiet Cookbook is exactly that. Written by my friend Martina Slajerova of The KetoDiet App and The KetoDiet Blog, I barely had to glance inside the pages to know it would be full of amazing low carb recipes for healthy living. I’ve always loved Martina’s recipes and I know she’s got a great spirit too. So this was exactly the sort of cookbook review I was happy to say yes to.

    You can have cereal on your ketogenic diet! Try this low carb chocolate orange granola recipe

    It really is a glorious cookbook, with over 150 recipes suitable for anyone on a low carb or ketogenic diet. Everything from breakfast to dinner to (my favourite) dessert. You aren’t going to go hungry with this cookbook in your hands! For this review, I considered making a meatball recipe or one of Martina’s awesome bread recipes. But my kids were craving cereal. I had run low on breakfast ideas for them and so the Chocolate Orange Granola seemed just the thing. Confession, though. I actually left out the orange zest this go round because I knew it would be a tougher sell for them. So I  just made chocolate spiced granola, which they loved. LOVED! In fact, my son demanded that I make some again very soon. Which I will, of course. Happy to oblige, when it comes to healthy low carb breakfast recipes.

    Start your low carb day right with a healthy chocolate granola.

    So if you are looking for your next low carb cookbook purchase, I highly recommend The KetoDiet Cookbook. It’s a shoo-in for any health-conscious cookbook collection.

      I’m allergic to nuts, any way this could be made nut-free?

        The whole base of the recipe is nuts so no, I wouldn’t think so.
