Is Old Fashioned Cream Gravy Allowed On Keto Or a Low Carb Diet?
This is a popular question. along with is gravy high in carbs?
Traditional gravy is full of unhealthy ingredients. One ingredient is an unhealthy oil, such as vegetable, Canola or crisco. (learn more about oils in 13 Healthiest And Least Healthy Oils For Cooking.
Conventional gravy also contains white flour, gluten, and dairy milk, all full of carbs and less than desirable ingredients. This makes it unallowable when following a clean healthy Keto lifestyle or diet.
For all these reasons, I've been skipping the gravy for several years. It's not worth paying the price of a flare up of my autoimmune issues and weight gain to eat it.
This gravy makes it possible to eat gravy while following a Ketogenic diet!

History of Cream Gravy
Cream gravy's origin goes back hundreds of years. According to this article from The Washington Post, biscuits and gravy may go back to the Revolutionary War.
My mom said it was created due to a lack of money and food. The few ingredients were inexpensive and the gravy helped fill up their bellies. My mom said they even fed it to the animals and had a chocolate version!
Cream white gravy is more of a U.S. Southern food than other parts of the world, passed on from generation to generation. When traveling, it seems brown gravy is more popular.
We weren't rich by any means as I was growing up, but we had money for food, and still ate lots of gravy due to the taste. We ate it on biscuits, toast, chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes….yum my mouth is watering thinking about it.
I used to joke and say my thighs would be half their size without cream gravy and I have a feeling that is very true.
Following Keto has made a huge difference in my health and weight, making it not worth going back, but I wanted that same taste if possible.

How Do You Thicken Low Carb Gravy?
The best way to thicken up your gravy is with almond flour and xanthan gum.
Xanthan gum is a thickening agent and a little bit goes a LONG way. I've had my package for a long time and it looks barley used.
Start with 1/4 tsp, adding a little at a time, testing until you get the desired thickness. It will thicken up fast!
