WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY
- Low net carbs (~5g/100g, ~1.5g per 2 tbsp) fit easily into keto macros
- Straining removes whey (and some lactose), concentrating protein and fat
- Creamy, tangy profile adds satisfaction without excess carbs
- Balanced protein + fat supports satiety and meal structure
- Highly versatile—works in both savory and lightly sweet applications
- May retain beneficial cultures if made from live-culture yogurt (brand-dependent)
