Celebrate with me on this week’s episode of The Keto Vegan Podcast as I take you along for my birthday lunch at The Cosy Club in Gunwharf, Portsmouth! What started as a simple outing with my daughter Poppy turned into a family affair—well, almost. With some last-minute changes and my son Jack braving the Christmas lights beforehand (despite his ladder fears!), we made it a special day.

I’ll share my thoughts on The Cosy Club’s vegan-friendly options (recommended by Poppy instead of our usual spot, The Vegan Kitchen Diner), how I managed to stick to my keto vegan lifestyle, and my tips for navigating menus when dining out. Whether you’re looking for vegan restaurant inspiration or curious about balancing keto on special occasions, this episode has something for you. Plus, you’ll get a little family fun and festive flair to brighten your day.

Grab a glass of pinot noir or keto soft drink and let’s dive in!

In this special birthday episode of The Keto Vegan Podcast, I share the delicious chaos of hosting a keto vegan lunch for 12 guests. From rich chocolate cheesecake and zesty lemon mousse to stuffed chestnut mushrooms and a perfectly seasoned Juicy Marbles loin, the menu was a mix of indulgence and creativity that had even the biggest sceptics asking for seconds.

I’ll take you behind the scenes of my kitchen triumphs (and a few near-disasters), share tips for making keto vegan dishes that impress, and reveal the drink choices that kept everyone happy—except for that lonely, untouched Porn Star Martini.

Whether you’re planning your own celebration or just curious how to make a show-stopping keto vegan feast, this episode is packed with ideas, laughs, and plenty of chocolate. Grab a glass of your favourite low-carb drink and join me for this birthday bonanza! 🎉

The Menu

Chocolate Cheesecake

I used an 8” square dish,

• 150g almond flour
• 40 cocoa powder
• 40g sugar free sugar
• 100g melted butter

Filling:

• 225g chocolate melted
• 300g cream cheese
• 100g sugar
• 2tsp vanilla essence
• 2tbs cocoa mixed with:
• 500ml double cream – Elmlea plant double

On reflection I should have added more chocolate to this – it was really good, but not quite chocolatey enough.

Lemon Mousse

• 750ml
• 600g Violife Cream Cheese
• 75g sugar free sugar
• 2 lemons – zest and juice

Whip cream first Beat Cream cheese and sugar Then whip all together Add juice and zest of lemons and keep whipping until firm.

On reflection – don’t bother adding the cream cheese – it didn’t need it. Just sugar, cream and lemon juice should make it a good enough consistency but make and eat on the same day.

Chestnut Stuffed Mushrooms

• 900g Chestnut Mushrooms
• This Isn’t Bacon Lardons x 2
• Sainsburys FF cream cheese – 3 pots
• Smoked paprika
• Garlic granules
• Chives chopped

Roasted Celeriac

Juicy Marbles Loin – lightly season and sit for at least an hour before roasting.

Roasted tomatoes on the vine with thyme

Artichokes, garlic and rosemary

Asparagus (add butter and seasoning).

Drinks:

Cocktails 3 options and make sugar free when you can or don’t drink those with sugary liqueurs in. Hugo – best option for keto, Espresso Martini – the worst thing about that is the Kahlua, Porn Star Martini – a definite no but had it for my guests but no one drank it anyway!

Red wine – pinot noir Crémant Beer for anyone who wanted White and rose wine – always opt for dryest you can find G&T

In this thought-provoking episode, I take on one of the most persistent questions vegans face: “Where do you get your protein?” Spoiler alert: I’ll also tell you why this obsession with vegan diets might just be misplaced—and why our focus should shift to far more important issues.

From the absurd stereotypes of vegan dining (“unicorn sprouts,” anyone?) to the biological truths about humans as herbivores, I’ll tackle the misconceptions head-on. Along the way, I’ll dive into why the strongest animals in the world (think gorillas and elephants) don’t eat meat, and why our own bodies are designed for plant-based eating.

But it’s not all science and statistics. We’ll talk about the ethical paradoxes of caring deeply about the environment while still eating meat and hear from those on the front lines of food production—slaughterhouse workers. This episode is a mix of facts, humour, and raw truths designed to make you think, laugh, and (hopefully) act.

If you’re concerned about the planet, curious about veganism, or just here to hear someone vent about being the token vegan at dinner parties, you’re in the right place.

Key Takeaways

• Vegan protein
• Plant-based diet
• Animal rights
• Environmental impact of diet
• Herbivore biology
• Ethical eating
• Sustainable nutrition

In this episode I’m sharing my top three favourite plant-based meats that fit perfectly into a keto vegan lifestyle: Juicy Marbles, Redefined, and Oumph! I’ll go over where you can buy each one, the carb count for each option, and why they’ve become my go-to picks. From incredible flavours to texture that feels like the real deal, these plant-based proteins have truly revolutionised my keto vegan meals. Whether you’re looking for a tasty steak alternative, versatile strips for stir-fries, or something to elevate your plant-based protein game, I’ve got you covered!

The Highlights:

• Where to Buy: You can find Juicy Marbles, Redefined, and Oumph! meats from Iceland, Ocado, and MightyPlants.com.
• Carb Counts & Nutritional Info: Each product has been chosen for its keto-friendly macros, so you can enjoy without compromising your low-carb goals.

Product Spotlight:

• Juicy Marbles Filet Steaks (226g, £12): 2.4g carbs, 7g fat, 18g protein
• Juicy Marbles Whole Cut Loin (756g, £28): 2.4g carbs, 7g fat, 18g protein
• Juicy Marbles Bone-In Ribs (500g, £22.13): 2.1g carbs, 11g fat, 20g protein
• Oumph! Chunk: 0g carbs, gluten-free
• Redefined Plant-Based Beef Flank Cut (200g, £8.65): 6g carbs, 9g fat, 26g protein

My DIY BBQ Seasoning: Store-bought BBQ seasoning often has around 24g of carbs per 100g due to added sugars. I’ve crafted my own low-carb, keto-friendly BBQ blend using ingredients like smoked paprika, dried onion, tomato powder, and Truvia for Baking Brown Sugar as a low-carb sweetener. It’s perfect for seasoning your favourite plant-based meats!
