Expert Tips for Keto Crack Slaw
Want to make this keto crack slaw recipe even more amazing!? Here are some extra expert tips.
#1: Coconut Aminos instead of Soy and Tamari Sauce
Isoflavones, which are found in soy, are plant estrogens. High levels of estrogen have been linked to an increased risk of breast cancer. May brands of soy sauce also have wheat in them. Instead I recommend coconut aminos
#2: Avoid Hidden Carbs in Some Brands of Coconut Aminos
I love coconut aminos as a healthy alternatives to soy sauce, but most brands of coconut aminos have a significant amount of added sugar.
The most popular brand on Amazon has 6 grams of added sugar per serving! This could absolutely set back your progress on the keto journey.
Personally, I use Coconut Secrets brand coconut aminos because they have only 1 gram of carbs per serving and no added sugar.

#3: Grassfed Instead of Conventional Beef
It’s no secret that factory farmed meat contains added hormones, antibiotics, and other additives.
Certified organic grassfed beef is the gold standard. It’s more affordable than you think and it’s on my list of the best keto items at Whole Foods.
Grassfed beef is an excellent source of anti-inflammatory Omega-3s, other healthy fats, protein, vitamins, and minerals.
#4: Frozen Riced Cauliflower
This on my list of top keto items at Trader Joe’s because it’s such a big time saver to buy frozen riced cauliflower and warm it up in the microwave. It makes the perfect base for this keto crack slaw recipe.
