Happy Holidays! Have you made your Carnivore/ Keto holiday shopping list yet? I have embraced minimalism over the last few years which means I just try to be more intentional about what is being bought and focus on what brings me great value.
I also like to focus on experiences rather than things. These items are some of the items I love use most everyday. Speaking of minimalism, what could be more minimal than following a carnivore diet, I have saved a ton this year not buying keto treats like dark chocolate and kombucha.
Some tips to have a more minimalist carnivore holiday season:
- shop for previously loved gifts at a consignment shop
- choose experience gifts to do together rather than things
- be mindful of what you really need to avoid having more stuff junking up your house
- don’t just buy the latest gadget without thinking about it for 72 hours
- make sure you can return things in case you have a minimalism attack.
- only buying things when the old one is truly worn out or not working.
- buy consumable goods like food or personal care products that will be used up
- buy books for a kindle/ibooks rather than adding to a bookshelf
Keep in mind that I may receive commissions when you click my links and make purchases. However, this does not impact my reviews and comparisons .I only recommend products I use and love.

Carbon Steel Pan
One thing I have used so much this whole year is my favorite carbon steel pan. I have the smallest one and it is indestructible. I have had it two years and I never seasoned it but it is non-stick and you can scrape it with metal spatulas and steel wool without any damage. Also it lasts forever without the toxic chemicals in other pans that last forever in the environment. I promise you will love it and use it daily like I do. Make sure to order the silicone handle as well. order here
Everylywell Testing has been critical in me getting my health back on track after my hashimotos. I can order them anytime even if my doctor is not being cooperative. Be the boss of your own healthcare with Everlywell and never hear no again! Order your own medical tests here with no doctor’s order!
Nutrisense:
I have been enjoying my Nutrisense meter for 15 days. Use my code grassfedgirl to save $25 off your first sensor. It can be a really grata way to gauge your health status if you are worried about your risk of diabetes especially. It shows me my blood sugar every hour all day so I can see how certain foods affect my blood sugar, even my mood and energy. It is fascinating and I think everyone should try it for two weeks to really get to know their body. Order here
Having an air fryer has been so important to my sanity while following a carnivore diet, I use it constantly. It keeps the grease inside and not all over your counters and floors. It is easy to dump the grease tray for easy clean up. It is super powerful and fast. I make my frozen ribeye with an air fryer (watch my video here). I used to have a cuisinart but after a bad burn on my hand I got rid of it. Now I am looking at these two because they are low in toxic forever chemicals.

I have been using this electrolytes drink for a few years. It is made from sea salt that is from ancient underground caves meaning it is free from plastic contamination.

If you have been feeling lethargic or craving sweets then this is what you need to round out your Keto or carnivore diet. I love their clay mask and spices as well.

This Instant Pot is a 9 in 1 programmable pressure cooker and it is all it’s hyped up to be. The price is also right, this would make a great gift and both versions are on sale for Cyber Monday!

KETO GIFTS:
Perfect Keto offers my readers 20% off all their products with the code GRASSFED. I am crazy about their matcha that is slightly sweet from stevia. I order their grass fed collagen to make my sweets and smoothies. Their Macadamia nut butter makes decadent cookies. You can find my matcha latte recipe here. My baby loves the chocolate chip keto cookies and my hubby loves the bars when he is on the go.
While it is not completely Carnivore, my cookbook Mediterranean Paleo Cooking is 432 pages of meaty recipes written with love! I wrote it with my husband who is a chef from the Mediterranean region and I know you will enjoy it. Take note that 112 of the recipes are low carb friendly!

Stitch Fix:
I have used this service for many years and it really helps me avoid the mall and the changing room. They always know what fits me and what is in style. Try it here and save on your first order. I love the personalization and not having to go into the post office to mail it back bc I use the prepaid envelope from my home mailbox.
I started taking liver pills when I was pregnant and then I started taking them again a month ago. I really think they help with my energy because liver is natures multivitamin. I have used paleo valley and I like them a lot but sometimes they sell out so I am getting these Ancestral Supplements as a back up. They are both of the utmost quality from grass fed animals. Order here
Hope these gifts fill your holiday season with happiness but always know that true happiness comes from within and being your own best friend. I made a video about this on my Youtube recently watch here. Hope you have lots of healthy meals with friends and family while getting outside to walk and enjoy nature. Thanks so much!
