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)

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

SALAD TOPPING

Dollop onto salads with Olives and roasted veg for creamy contrast and extra protein.

BAKING INGREDIENT

Swap into keto bakes where a tangy, creamy element is needed (e.g., part Cream Cheese or Sour Cream replacement).

DESSERT BASE

Whip with Heavy Cream, keto sweetener, and vanilla for a quick mousse.
