I usually take a minute to explain what makes each recipe on this site fall into the dietary categories so my readers a better idea of what each diet, and how to fit this recipe into their specific needs. Whole 30 and Paleo diets focus on eating whole foods that are minimally processed, avoiding any inflammatory ingredients, like gluten, grains, dairy, and legumes. All of the these ingredients are Whole 30 and Paleo friendly, but you need to make sure that you check the labels. The pumpkin should be pumpkin puree only, no pumpkin pie filling with other stuff. Also you’ll need to make sure that you’re almond milk is unsweetened, and free from gums and carrageenan. Always check the labels! On paleo you are allowed to have unrefined sweeteners like honey or maple syrup, but those are not allowed on Whole 30. But if you want a sweeter taste those are a great paleo option. Maple syrup is also vegan.
Keto is a diet focused on keeping the body in a state of ketosis. In this state, the body starts to burn fat for fuel. You do this by consuming under a certain number of carbs per day, typically 20G or less. As long as you use pure pumpkin puree, not pie filling with added sugar, and unsweetened almond milk this recipe has only 1.25 G of carbs as is. You can add your favorite Keto sweetener to make it as sweet as you want. I don’t use an artificial sweeteners, so I don’t have an honest recommendation of which is best, but it is an option for you.
Sounds super delish!!! Fall weather is my fave so can’t wait to try this!
