Kwaheri

These are some business ideas that you can start that relate to keto or have consumers thanks to Keto.

THE BUSINESS IDEAS

1.Stevia Growing

This is the sweetener used by keto people and for making sweet treats that are keto friendly.The business you can start is to grow the stevia plant and sell the stevia as a powder.Theketo people do not use the sugar made from sugar cane so this stevia is the cheapest alternative.The other sweeteners allowed on keto are very expensive (erythritol,xylitol and swerve).

The stevia plant produces leaves packed with super-sweet compounds that remain stable even after the leaves have been dried. Stevia leaves have been used to sweeten teas,sodas,energy drinks,gums and other beverages  for years.

The plant is small so you do not alot of space to grow it as you can grow it in pots like these below.

Tips

tropical climate or irrigation

small land to lease or your back garden-needs to be near you.

takes 3 months to be ready for harvesting

you dry the leaves with the sun or buy a dehydrator

you can sell as dry leaves or crush it to a powder and sell as a powder.

you can export to companies that buy the powder and convert it a liquid version(stevia drops)

if you can find a way to make the liquid version in kenya that will be a gold mine as it can be used to make baked goods without turning them green and you can also sell it  to companies making low sugar,diabetic,healthy or no sugar snacks/treats.

Kenya produces 240 metric tonnes of stevia against a demand of 10,000 metric tonnes so more farmers are needed.Am sure the demand is now even higher due to keto and people generally wanting to consume less sugar.

2.Keto Recipe Blog

You can start a keto recipe blog featuring only keto approved meals.The money will come from partenering with companies selling keto products like a stevia company or avocado oil companies.The sponsorships that wil be available to you due to being a keto blog will  be many and you can ask for more money since your readers are going to be the exact target market for those companies.You can also link to keto products on Amazon or jumia using affiliate links where you earn a commission if someone buys it using your link.

3.Keto Youtube Channel

You can start a YouTube channel focussed on keto.The ones that do well involve filming your weight loss journey on keto.

Types of videos to do:

keto what I eat in a day

keto what I carried to work

keto breakfast ideas

keto snack ideas

my keto grocery hauls

keto panty staples/haul

my keto essentials

The keto videos are getting lots of views and the cpm which is what you get for 1000 views is 8-12 dollars and avoid topics on politics they can drop your cpm to 2 dollars so just talk about keto.

4.Keto Nutritionist

This is better if you get some form of certification/diploma for nutrition  then focus on keto.Make sure you understand everything about keto.

The ways to make money:

sell keto meal plans to your clients.

get paid for consultations on keto-on fiver/Skype/patreon

work with clients to help them with their weight loss goals  using keto

write articles on keto as a guest post on lifestyle magazines

partner with a gym or a health spa as an in-house nutritionist

partner with weight-loss clinics

  5.Keto flour Business

The keto people can ony use almond/coconut and Psyllium Husk flour.So you can make these flours and sell them on keto Facebook groups.The easiest to make are coconut and almond flour as you just need a high power blender or food processor.Get almonds in bulk and turn into a flour and sell it.

Your target market also includes pople who are allergic to gluten or are on a low carb meal plan due to a health condition.

What you need:

almonds in bulk

coconut matured in bulk

a food processor

a powerful blender

containers for packaging

 a dehyrator -to dry the almond meal so that you can blend it even further to become a fine flour(you can also dry it in the sun).

6.Keto/Specialist Bakery

This can be a specialist bakery for making all baked goods for:

keto people

low carb clients

no egg baked goods

gluten-free baked goods

diabetics baked goods

low sugar/no sugar baked goods (using stevia drops)

This will obviously be a high-end bakery since such baked goods tend to cost way more.Your location is key as you need to be at a high end area of your town.You can also bake them at home and advertise on keto groups.You can supply them to fancy grocery shops like zucchini shop in Kenya and any high end grocery shop in your town.

Places to get repeat clients include:

gyms-to get te keto enthusiasts

health spas

weight-loss clinics-as you can offer them sugar-free baked goods

high-end grocery stores

7.Pork Rind Business

This is one of the most popular keto snacks and it is very easy to make.You just need pork rinds and oil to fry them in which has to be a keto approved oil like avocado oil.You can also bake them.Then you can add different flavours to them and sell them as a snack.

You can package them like this:

pork rinds

pork rinds packaging

pork rinds kenya

There are many uses of pork rinds in recipes:

-acts as a an alternative to chips/crips

-an alternative to breadcrumbs by grinding them in a food processor.Then you can use it to make fried chicken,top up a caserole or to make meatballs.

  pork rind on caserole

pork rind coated fish fingers

porkrind coated onion rings

pork rind crusted chicken nuggets

-add I to a trail mix/party mix

-as a cruton in a salad

-add it to the crust of your keto pizza

8.Nut Butter Business

This is a staple on keto and it includes peanut, almond,pecan and macadamia butters.The ingredienst should just be the nut and maybe salt.You can add an oil like avocado oil but no palm oil.

You just need a powerful food processor to make any nut butter or a vitamix blender.Then package it well in glass preferably and sell online or supply it to stores.

Nut butters do not need a preservative so do not add any funny ingredients as they could make it not keto friendly.Since it is pure you can sell it at a higher price.

9.Mayonaise Business

This is because most mayo are made with palm oil and sugar is added making it not keto friendly.So you can make a keto friendly one and sell it.It only needs two ingredients to make which are oil(avocado/olive oil only),acid (lemon juice/vinegar),salt and egg yolks.

  Ingredients to make keto mayonnaise

  This you will sell at a premium since it is a newer item that is now in the market.Your clients also include low carb people,low sugar dieters,diabetics etc.

So just make it package in glass and sell.It is shelf stable and does not need preservatives.Look into how to can food products properly.

This is one of the avocado mayonnaise you can check out hteir website for inspiration:

avocado mayonnaise

  10.Avocado oil business

This is the main ingredient used to make keto fried foods,mayonnaise,baked goods,salad dressings and many more.The normal vegetable oils are not used in keto so avocado oil is now on high demand.The processed one or the cold processed one.

You can either import or buy it wholesale then sell online -jumia,amazon,olx,instagram or Facebook.

You can also make the oil then distribute to supermarkets and health shops.You do not need to grow the avacados as there are many people doing it all you need to buy is the avacado oil pressing machine.This obviously will need more capital (300-400k) to start but the machine can also be used to make other oils too.

avocado pressing machine

The oil can also be sold for hair use,skin and as a body oil not just for keto people.

Before you start a business involving such equipment make sure you test the market to make sure the demand for the product is there.During the avocado season there are so many avocados that get rejected for export due to things like shape so weird right so you can buy them at a cheaper price and use them to extract the avocado oil.

EXTRA

Coconut Oil Business

Just like avocado oil you can purchase in bulk and resale or you can make the oil yourself and sell direct to consumer or to suppliers.

This oil is allowed on keto and it is cheaper than avocado oil.

The easiest business is to find someone already making cold pressed coconut oil then repackage in glass containers that you will buy in bulk.The market for coconut oil is big already and now because of keto it is even bigger.

Those are the business ideas you can start to target keto people or low carb people or just products that now have a higher demand due to keto.

Hope your new business flourishes.

Join-apply here

2.Adsence for blogs and YouTube

This applies to blogger,YouTube and websites.Do not put too many and go to…

This is the most staple meal in Kenya and everyone must know how to make it.Just 2 ingredients flour and water.Tools are mwiko and a pot that is not nonstick.

SKUMA

This is for eating with ugali most of the time and it is very healthy.Some people call it colard greens but here it is what we call kale.

BEEF STEW

This is a big staple too and it is an easy recipe to enjoy beef.All you need is to add oil to a pot,fry onion,then tomatoes that have chopped up and cook them till it is mashed up then add meat(preboiled) and fry till done.You can add dania/parsley at the end.Other ingredients can be garlic,chilies or bell peppers.Do not dare put zucchini/kojet in it otherwise you leave Kenya and do not come back.

RICE

Most people just cook it plain in Kenya just water,rice,salt and oil.You can add turmeric or soy sauce for flavour or color change.

MAYAI YA KUKULA NA UGALIThis is eggs to eat with ugali so you have to fry it with onions and tomatoes.

NJAHI

This is black beans and here in Kenya we do not use the canned ones.You get from the mama mboga who boils a fresh batch every morning or you boil it yourself at home.Presoak overnight so that they boil faster.

BEANS STEW

Just like njahi we do not eat the canned one.You fry it simply with onions and tomatoes.Optional you can add coconut milk to add more flavour.

CHICKEN KIENYEJI STEW

This is mostly made with what we call Kienyeji chicken.This chicken looks different from the typical layers and they taste better especially in stews.

CHIPS

We call chips in Kenya fries.Always soak them in water to rinse out the starch as they fry better when you do that.

PANCAKE

The Kenyan pancake looks very different it is almost a cross-breed between a crepe and the pancakes I see people in the USA eat.

BOILED EGG

You just boil water throw in eggs for 15 minutes for hard boiled.In Kenya we do not eat eggs with the yolk still running I always find it weird seeing american chefs make eggs that are runny.Plus if you are Kenyan and you want to eat runny yolks remember all american eggs are pasteurized and Kenyans are not so you are risking getting salmonella.

MKATE MAYAI-FRENCH TOAST

This is basically french toast and most Kenyans do not add milk to the batter just egg wash on the bread then you fry.

CHAPO MAYAI-ROLLEX

This is a new staple you fry an egg then roll it inside a chapo.It is our version of an egg burrito.

GITHERI STEW

There is also githeri with waru/potatoes

The githeri is something every single Kenyan has eaten let them not lie to you.If it is fried well it tastes so good.The potato makes it even better and the Bantus are the ones obsessed with adding potatoes to every meal.

PILAU

There are many versions of the pilau depending on which tribe cooks it for you.The best one should have some meat in it.

KACHUMBARI

This is to enjoy with meals as a side dish.I think this is the only side dish in Kenya lol.

CHAPATI

This is one delicious food and you can eat it with anything.I like it hot from the pan.The one that has layers is more tasty.

There is normal chapati but you can also add butternut squash in it.

CHIPS MASALA

POTATO AND BEEF STEW

This is beef stew with potatoes and imagine people eat it with rice.Some kenyans love eating carbohydrates with more carbohydrates lol especially people from central province.

CHAI

The Kenyan tea must have a color as shown and you get this by boiling the milk with the tea leaves.If you use tea bags you squeeze them till the tea gets to this color.

Chips Mayai

The best I ever had been at was at a restaurant outside USIU campus.It is fries with eggs.

Matoke/Raw Banana Stew

This is the banana that is still green you just fry it with onions and tomatoes.Sometimes meat can be added.

Liver Fry

This is liver fry perfect for those with anemia since it has a lot of heme iron.Always eat an orange as you eat liver to absorb most of the iron.

Tilapia Stew

Mukimo

This is mashed potatoes with leaves of pumpkin/kaharora(stinging nettle leaves grounded)

Those are the Kenyan meals every Kenyan should know how to make.If someone doesn’t know how to make at least half of these meals either a man or a lady do not date them at all bure kabisa.

Some Kenyan bloggers to teach you how to make these meals are:
