Favorite 0 Carb Treats or Near 0 Carb Treats

Here is my list of favorite very low carb treats. Low carbohydrate foods are key to an anti-inflammatory diet and preventing diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and general lack of energy. Still there will be days when you crave the carbs. These are my favorite fake outs for my body.  I do always try to avoid gluten like poison when possible, but sometimes, it is really hard to avoid gluten: like when I was in Bolivia on a medical mission trip. They did not have any almond milk nor many gluten free products.

There are in no particular order.

Here are the websites where these come from:

CARB-Free Cloud Bread only 4 Ingredients

carb-free Garlic bread - only 4 ingredients
Ridiculous Amount of Ingredients:
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 3 Tablespoons cream cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder (or cream of tartar)
  • These ingredients are optional and highly recommended: 1 TBS Brown Sugar (or honey, or your favorite natural sweetener) I like to use Coconut Palm Sugar because it is low glycemic and adds a subtle sweetness to my baking and is perfect for coffee or tea) Also optional are salt, garlic powder, rosemary and other fave spices/herbs
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius)
  • Separate the eggs, there must be no yolk in the white.
  • In one bowl, mix together the egg yolks, cream cheese and honey until smooth.
  • In the second bowl add 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder (or cream of tartar if you prefer, I just didn’t like the taste of cream of tartar) to the whites and beat the whites on high speed until they are fluffy, form a nice peaks and hold their peaks. It should look something like this:
(Update 1) Please read carefully, because I received a handful of comments that the “breads” didn’t come out right from the first try. As you read through directions, you need to remember that the KEY to success to this recipe is you need to fluff up your egg whites to stiff peaks. It takes about 5 minutes using electric hand mixer. The one that I use is Hamilton Beach . If you look at different options try to get the one that looks like an iron. It has a storage compartment that serves as a storage for mixer’s tools and a stand.

  • Slowly fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites and mix carefully, you don’t want to break the fluffiness of the egg whites too much.
  • Do this as quickly as possible or the mixture may start melting – Spoon the mixture into 10-12 even rounds onto lightly greased baking sheet, sprinkle with rosemary or your favorite spices and put it in the oven.
  • Bake for 17-20 minutes on the middle rack. Then broil (cook the top) for 1 minute and watch it until they become nice and golden brown. At this point make sure you watch them so they don’t burn
  • Remove from the oven and let cool and enjoy!

The best NO-CARB Cloud Bread recipe
Update 2: I could not help but made a video “How to make Cloud Bread” in action! Especially many of you said that it didn’t come out right the first time or there were few problems with beating the egg whites. Watch it here or on Youtube and let me know what you think. Also be sure to read my update 1 (above) the key to make this recipe successful.
Update #3. Many of you asked about the nutrition information. So I went ahead and calculated using the recipe calculator from SparkRecipes. The below is based on 4 main ingredients 3tbs creem cheese, 3 eggs, 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1 TBSP of Brown sugar. I usually get 10-12 even rounds (servings) As you can see one bread has less than 50 calories – 38,5 to be exact! As you can see it is lacking on the fiber. This is no problem and easy fix. You can add 1 Tsp of Avocado Seed powder for a boost of antioxidants, fiber and gut healing nutrients!
