Healthy Keto Carb Up Meal

You may or may not know this, but I am a HUGE advocate for 1 carb up day per week in order to sustain keto as a lifestyle and have the healthiest body possible.

Having a healthy keto carb up meal is beneficial for many things.  Especially for women: hormones, metabolism, etc…

I usually incorporate sweet potatoes and carrots into my carb up day.

I created this Keto Hash which is a variant of my low carb Keto Hash.  I wanted to increase my carbs in a consistent, healthy way.  AND I wanted a meal that my kids would love and, well, they LOVE THIS!  I won’t mention that it was a product of just throwing stuff in a pan and seeing what worked!  And then tweaking it of course once we realized how delicious it was!

If you are truly doing a carb up day, you’ll need more carbs than what this meal provides.  But this can certainly account for one of your meals!

I mean, you could even eat this for lunch AND dinner – I’ll admit that I do that sometimes!
