#101 Keto Vegan Abroad? Nope! Just Rach, The Vegan!

15 minutes

Welcome back to The Keto Vegan! I’m Rach, and this week I’m spilling all the (plant-based) tea on my daughter’s hen do in Majorca—think nine women, one fabulously gay gent, and me trying to stay vegan AND keto in a land full of chips, cocktails and zero vegan protein. Spoiler alert: only one of those survived. Tune in for real talk on holiday indulgence, staying true to your ethics, and why free-poured Spanish margaritas might be my new summer fling.

Key Takeaways

Keto Goes on Holiday Too: It’s possible to try staying keto abroad, but when fresh bread and guac are all that’s on offer, don’t panic. One carb-heavy week won’t undo everything.

Vegan? Non-Negotiable: While keto can bend, vegan doesn’t break. Sticking to your ethics is easy when it’s not a ‘diet’ but a lifestyle.

Bread, guac, and hummus can get you through: There were dips. There was rye. No protein, but no starvation either.

Spain’s Cocktail Game Is Unpredictable: Mojito roulette is real. One friend’s drink is perfect, yours tastes like a Haribo smoothie.

Paella > Potatoes: If you’re going to dabble in carbs, choose the dish that doesn’t make you feel like a bag of bricks.

Being around meat-eaters was a challenge: But it made me appreciate how easy and supportive my life is back home.

Back Home, Back to Keto: Batch-cooked vegan chilli, red Thai curry and lots of water—getting back into ketosis is easier than you think.
