“This is an indulgent, creamy warm festive cinnamon drink to sip on during the festive season! With hints of ginger and nutmeg, the predominant flavours are coconut and cinnamon – and they work beautifully together. I even added a little cocoa powder which offer some colour as well as a tiny nod to chocolate. I enhanced it with a little collagen powder to increase the protein, but that is entirely optional. Use as much natural sweetener as you need, but one tablespoon works for me. Merry Christmas! PS: No judgement here if you decide to ‘optimise’ this drink with a tot of Brandy!” – Monya

One delightful option to consider is this warm festive drink, sweetened with erythritol. As the festive aroma of cinnamon fills the air, this cozy concoction provides the perfect post-dinner treat. Coconut milk, a keto-friendly alternative to dairy, forms the creamy base of this warm delight. Its natural richness imparts a velvety texture, while cinnamon adds that quintessential Christmas warmth.
Cinnamon is not only a flavour powerhouse but also boasts potential health benefits, such as regulating blood sugar levels.
This delightful beverage symbolises that, even during the most indulgent time of the year, you can adhere to your dietary choices. It’s a reminder that with the right choices, the holiday season can be both merry and keto-friendly.
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.
