Keto coffee dessert – when sudden guests arrive
Keto coffee dessert is something I created with the Greek hospitality in mind. In my country, or in any other country where Greeks live, you cannot come to their home without being bombed with food offerings. Eat, drink and talk a lot! If you have some Greek friends, and if you get invited to visit them, be prepared for coffee, refreshments, desserts and even dinner. You can’t escape it, there’s no way! Even if you just had lunch.

However, there are those times when we have sudden visitors. We are not always prepared and we cannot say no to the loved ones. This specific urge to offer everything you have to your guests is something typical for all Balkan countries. It’s a cultural thing and must not be taken as aggression. It’s really an act of friendship and love. In Greece, we call it Philoxenia! As both my wife and I have this feeling deep in our souls, we came up with an idea to impress our sudden guests. Even if they are visiting just for half an hour, we will have something unique to offer. As Ketonians, we prepare it with Keto macros, so that we can join our guests. Furthermore, all our friends get instantly interested in the Keto diet, our brave lifestyle and all the magic that’s hiding behind our fit appearance.
Eat the butter, don’t fear it!
The first thing we get asked is how come we are slim and we eat so much butter, cream and fatty meat? Then the conversation goes on and on and they ask about fruits. How in the world will they live without fruits? At that moment, my wife brings out this Keto coffee dessert and they rest their case. Usually, in a day or two, they call us and ask for more info about the Ketogenic diet. At this point, you have a great opportunity to make your family and friends accept your lifestyle. And who knows, maybe some of them will join you and get healthier! Perhaps specifically the one member that needs it more than anybody else!
