I don't think I have enough pork rinds that's better
today we're talking about pork rinds now when it comes to pork rinds you either
love them or you hate them and I happen to be in the category that I love them
but I wasn't always there so if you are in that same category I'm here to
convince you why you should start liking pork rinds because they're so versatile
so I'm going to show you ten ways that you can use pork rinds on the keto diet
let's get started the majority of people eat pork rinds like their chips
especially on the keto diet this is our only chip alternative but there's so
many ways that you can consume pork rinds and the first way is to make a
little treat I'm going to show you how to make a keto pork rind sopapilla now a
Sylva Pia is a traditional Mexican fried bread that's topped with whipped cream
and honey and strawberries so this is my play on that it's not an actual
sopapilla but it's pretty darn close what you do is you take a pork rind and
then squirt a little dollop of keto whipped cream on top and then sprinkle
it with cinnamon this makes a delicious sweet treat or perfect snack that you
can give to your kids and they're very simple to make so you can just make them
on the fly whenever you have a sweet tooth another way that you can use pork
rinds to make a dessert option is to make keto puppy chow puppy chow is where
you combine a cereal like Chex Mix cereal like the rice Chex along with
peanut butter and chocolate and butter to form a delicious snack it's also
called like moose munch or bloody tracks all has a bunch of different names but
it's actually a very very simple dessert that you can make and I'm going to show
you how to make the keto version to make the keto version we're gonna add butter
almond butter and chocolate chips to a bowl and now
these chocolate chips that I'm using our queue to approve chocolate chips I get
mine from choc zero I'll have a link down below on where you can purchase
them we're gonna melt these together and stir it until it's combined and then we
add in our pork rinds if you want to make sure you're using plain pork rinds
don't get the flavored ones especially like a chili line because it's probably
not going to taste very good you want to stir these until they're fully coated
and then transfer it to a paper bag and then add a little bit of confectioner's
swerve give it a good shake to coat it and your puppy chow is ready this snack
is crunchy sweet and delicious another way that you can use pork rinds and the
keto diet is to make nachos and I'm sure that a lot of you have actually already
tried this so you're just gonna use pork rinds as your tortilla chips so lay down
a little bit of pork rinds you can top it with your favorite nacho toppings
like ground beef cheese tomato olives onions cilantro sour cream guacamole
just add it all on there another way that you can use pork rinds on the keto
diet isn't really it's something that you eat but it's something that you make
so you can actually make pork rind garlands out of pork rinds and so this would be fun to put on your
Christmas tree around Christmastime instead of making popcorn garland you
can use pork rind garland and just sneak up to the tree and have a bite so do it
like that or you could actually know what I'm looking at it make a nice cool
necklace so instead of like a candy necklace this could be a pork rind
necklace so you'll always have like a snack with you in case you ever get
hungry another way that you can have pork rinds on the keto diet is to make
your own flavors now I know a lot of them come free flavors like this one
this one is a jalapeno cheddar pork rind but you can actually make different
flavor combinations especially if you only have access to the plain pork rinds
so some of my favorite are just to sprinkle a little bit of chili powder
and lime onto the pork rinds shake it up to come coat the entire pork rind
combination or you can add some cinnamon and a little bit of monk fruit and it
creates a sweet and salty pork brain so if you really like the taste of a churro
this is one pork rind combination that you should make one of my favorite ways
to eat pork rinds on the keto diet is to make a snack mix or trail mix with them
so if you're making a snack mix you would want to add your pork rinds you
can add some peanuts maybe some salami sticks or cheese widths or even moon
cheese so just add that together give it a good mix and portion it out into snack
bags the other way is to make trail mix and I have a recipe on my website that
uses pork rinds in my trail mix I use ground pork rinds add some cocoa butter
to them you can even juice use melted chocolate if you wanted to and there's
seeds and other nuts that go along with there and I make these delicious pork
rind clusters it's a really nice treat to have when you're having a handful of
just nuts and chocolate and coconut I'll have my full recipe for my trail mix
listed down below for you guys I also have a video that you can just click on
up here to watch it but the way that I use pork rinds the most is if I'm trying
to use them as a substitute for breading so if I'm making fried chicken or fried
avocados I actually use the pork rinds ground up pork rinds and coat the
outside of my and then once you fry it up either in
the frying pan with some oil or you can pop it an air fryer it gets the outside
nice and crispy so it's a good way to put on a crispy coat on the outside of
any food and you can take pork rinds and put them in the food processor or a
blender or just pound them out with a hammer or a rolling pin if you want to
to make your own ground pork rinds I actually buy mine on their own the brand
I buy is pork panko I got this from Amazon and they're already pre ground
pork rinds they taste delicious it's a really fine consistency too so you don't
have really big chunks of pork right in there so check these guys out it's my
favorite brand another sweet way that you can use pork rinds on the keto diet
is to make rice krispies treats these are keto rice krispies treats so once
again we're using the pork rinds in the place of a crispy rice cereal we're
gonna start by making a keto marshmallow base we're gonna add gelatin cold water
and vanilla to a small bowl and mix it together until it's an applesauce
consistency set that aside and then in a small saucepan we're gonna add a cup of
water confectioner's swerve and salt and we're
going to stir this over medium heat then we're gonna remove it from the heat pour
in our gelatin mixture and then using our electric mixer we're gonna beat it
until we get a marshmallow creme consistency now our marshmallows are
ready we're gonna pour this into a bowl with some coarsely ground up pork rinds
and add a little bit of butter to I bet you guys never thought that you
could have rice krispies treats on the keto diet
well now you can another common way that I like to use pork rinds on the keto
diet is to use them as flowers so I have a recipe for a carnivore waffle that
uses pork rinds instead of almond flour so I'll have that recipe link down below
for you but there's other ways that you can use ground pork rinds as flour
substitutes as well like for instance there's a recipe that Nicole downs has
she has the Instagram page oh my keto she also wrote a book it's
called keto for foodies it's a fabulous book you should definitely check it out
anyway she has a recipe for Porky pancakes and it's a way that you can
make pancakes out of pork rinds in a small bowl we whisk together two eggs
two tablespoons of heavy cream a teaspoon of cinnamon a teaspoon of
sweetener and an eighth of a teaspoon of salt then we're gonna add in a half of a
cup of our pork panko stir it until it's combined and just ladle this onto a
skillet with the melted butter and then cook it up just like a regular pancake I also like to use my pork rinds as a
booby-trap it's a good way to alert you if there's intruders or any sort of
predator coming just sprinkle some pork rinds down at the front of your door or
by your windows and it's gonna alert you once they step on those if somebody's
coming I'm really curious do you love pork rinds or do you fall in that
category that hates pork rinds and did I convince you otherwise let me know down
