HOW TO ENJOY IT ON KETO
- Moderate carbs (~4.5g/100g) can fit with portion control
- Fermentation lowers lactose vs. milk and adds live cultures
- Provides complete dairy protein to support satiety
- Pairs well with added fats (e.g., MCT/cream) to improve macros
- Unsweetened/plain options avoid added sugars
- Useful occasionally for gut support on a low-carb plan
