Dr Jockers Comments:
This is a great ketogenic recipe for an individual that wants some great tasting veggies and stay in ketosis. These green beans are loaded with good fats in the grass-fed butter and the virgin coconut oil. The Italian herbs provide great flavor, aroma and anti-oxidants.
We added kelp which is a sea vegetable that provides more blood cleansing chlorophyll and thyroid supporting iodine. Kelp also has a nice salty style flavor and therefore you need a bit less salt.
Getting organic stock, particularly when you make your own from the stock bones, is like a super multi-vitamin. Organic, pastured chicken stock or grass-fed beef stock provide tons of glycine, magnesium, gelatin and collagen to support the gut, skin and joint health.
