Keto Classic Pot Roast

Preparing meals ahead is important when following the keto diet, since most meals are very protein focused. This is why I like to use the slow cooker to cook meats, since you can “set it and forget it” even while at work. I like to use a chuck roast for this with some carrots and celery. Carrots are necessary to get the right flavor, but you don’t need to use much since they do have carbs, so I will use more celery. Carrots make the roast too sweet anyways. Chop all the veggies and add about ⅓ of them to the pot at the beginning and the rest towards the last 1 ½ of cooking if you like them to have texture. If you don’t have time for that, simply add them all at the beginning. Also, use fresh thyme sprigs and whole bay leaves if you can. I used 3 thyme sprigs and 3 small bay leaves.
