WHY TO LIMIT IT ON KETO

  • Very high net carbs (~55g/100g) quickly exceed daily keto limits
  • Often contains sugars, syrups, oats, and dried fruit—high glycemic load
  • Low fat relative to carbs—poor keto macro ratio
  • Portable, but a small bar can equal a full day’s carb budget
  • If consumed at all, treat as a non-keto exception and track carefully

HEALTH BENEFITS

  • Contains whole grains
  • Some bars provide nuts/seeds that add minerals and a bit of fiber

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

NOT RECOMMENDED

Swap for a keto-granola-bar or keto-protein-bar, or make a DIY nut/seed bar using almond flour, nuts, seeds, and allulose.
