Food Trends Defined: Gourmet, Keto, Paleo & Vegan

by | Aug 23, 2024 | Food & Cooking

Whether you’re a foodie or someone who just loves take-out, there’s no denying that food is a universal language that brings people together. It can be difficult to navigate through all the different diets and preferences, but at Muddy Stilettos, we want to make it a little easier for you.  Learn more about the current food trends and joining the community and follow us on social to stay-up-to-date on some delicious recipes that suit any lifestyle and preference including gourmet, keto, paleo, and vegan diets.

Gourmet

When it comes to gourmet food, don’t let the title scare you. It simply means high-quality ingredients and presentation. Start by looking for products with a short ingredient list of things you can pronounce. These items are usually less processed and more high-quality, making for tastier and more gourmet food. Our contributors have shared some of their best gourmet recipes that are sure to wow your friends and family.

Keto

The keto diet is all about consuming high-fat, low-carb foods. Including butter and oil might be easy, but don’t forget that leafy greens and veggies are essential to maintaining a healthy keto diet. Low-carb vegetables such as spinach, lettuce, collard greens, zucchini, and cauliflower are all important additions to ensure that you get the essential vitamins and minerals needed to keep you and your family healthy. Our contributors have shared some amazing keto recipes that are both delicious and healthy.

Paleo

The paleo diet is all about going back to our ancestors’ way of eating. It’s a diet that excludes processed food, which is fantastic for our health. However, when people start following this diet, they sometimes go overboard and start indulging in paleo-friendly sweet treats like chocolate avocado pudding, which are not necessarily unhealthy, but they shouldn’t be consumed too frequently. But, because it is one of our favourites, we will share with you 🙂 

Chocolate Avocado Pudding Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
  • 1 medium ripe avocado
  • 3 tablespoons of maple syrup or sweetener

Instructions:

Simply mash all the ingredients together or blend with an immersion blender and voila, you have a creamy and delicious pudding!

Vegan

The vegan diet is one of the healthiest on the planet, but the stigma surrounding veganism is still alive and well. If you’re interested in starting a vegan diet but feel overwhelmed by the pressure to be perfect, don’t worry. Every little bit helps. If the only thing stopping you from venturing into veganism is your love of bacon or cheese pizza, go vegan except for those items. Your diet will be far healthier than before, and you don’t have to give up your vices. Our contributors have shared some of their favorite vegan recipes that are both healthy and delicious.

At Muddy Stilettos, we believe that food is more than just nourishment; it’s an experience that should be enjoyed and shared. We love empowering women to make and eat delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make food. With our hot tips, ideas, and recipes, we hope to make it easier for you to navigate through all the different food trends and preferences. From our kitchen to yours, we can’t wait to share all the yummy things we love to eat.

Spread the love
