Creamy Keto Cheesecake Whip with Berries

When you are doing a Keto Diet to try and lose weight one of the trickiest parts can be satisfying that sweet tooth. Especially in that first transition phase. And then there are the gatherings with the sweet yumminess options calling to you. These little Creamy Cheesecake Whips are super simple + quick to make. Because let’s face it, sometimes when we are cutting out the sugar our patience gets cut in half as well.

Can’t wait for you to try these and let me know what you think. Oh, and side note… if you don’t have doTERRA essential oil, or one that is labeled for internal use, don’t add it. So many out on the market are laden with additives. (I have linked the lemon oil for ya, if you want to snag a bottle - we have a lot of other uses for it listed here on the EL site.)

Trying to lose weight with a Keto Diet? Set yourself up for success.

So you have heard about Keto and you are ready to run with it? Or possibly you have been going about it but just can’t get it going smoothly. Oy, I hear ya.

Some of my BIGGEST challenges on Keto were / are:

  1. knowing where to start

  2. setting up the meal plan

  3. planning ahead

  4. actually following the plan

My VERY biggest challenge is allowing myself to get too hungry and then grabbing whatever is quick and easy. When you are hungry the prepping and time it takes to cook can seem like just too much and that cheese, chocolate, crackers… it all just sounds like a deliciously quick pop it in your mouth right this minute perfectly satisfying option. So yea, it happens for me.

It’s taken me some time to prep ahead or find no guilt, ready to go, snacks to have on hand. I’ll be sharing a list with some of my favorites very soon. The other BIG helper is to make a meal and arrange to have leftovers on hand in the fridge.

When selecting recipes I do a lot of online searching however my GO-TO Keto Recipe books are authored by Maria Emmerich. I just LOVE her food. I can’t even pick one that is a favorite… and she has quite a line up.


This one though Keto Instant Pot ? Instant Pot + Keto = DIVINE! Is she brilliant or what? So when you aren’t super prepared ahead of time or just plain short on time, this cookbook is where it is at.

Tell me, what your biggest challenge is so far with a Keto Diet?
