    What is a Keto Root Beer Float?

    It is a refreshing and delicious sweet treat that’s perfect for anyone following a dirty keto diet.

    What is Dirty Keto?

    “Dirty Keto” is a variation of the popular low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet. Unlike the traditional keto diet, which focuses on healthy, unprocessed foods, the dirty keto diet allows for more leniency when it comes to food choices.

    Dirty keto dieters still limit their carb intake to below 50 grams per day in order to stay in ketosis – the metabolic state in which your body burns fat for energy – but they are less strict about what types of food they eat. This means that dirty keto dieters may consume processed meats, full-fat dairy products, and other unhealthy fats.

    How to Make a Keto Root Beer Float

    Here’s what you’ll need

    • Zero sugar or diet root beer
    • Low carb vanilla ice cream – Or make my No Churn Vanilla Ice Cream at only 5 carbs per serving.
    • Sugar free whipped topping – Or make your own Keto Fluffy Whipped Cream.

    To make your float, simply combine all of the ingredients in a glass and enjoy! If you want, you can top it with a little bit of whipped cream for an extra special treat.
