WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

  • Ultra-low net carbs (~0.5g/100g) minimize impact on daily limits
  • Naturally low sugar when unsweetened; easy to track
  • Creamy mouthfeel makes a satisfying dairy swap
  • Predominantly monounsaturated fats (brand-dependent)
  • Versatile in coffee, smoothies, soups, and sauces
  • Pairs well with added fats (MCT oil, cream) to hit keto ratios

HEALTH BENEFITS

  • Mostly monounsaturated fats support heart-healthy patterns
  • Often fortified—some brands add calcium/vitamin D (check labels)
  • Low-carb base helps glycemic control compared with dairy milk
  • Naturally dairy-free for those avoiding lactose/casein
  • Light, easy-to-digest alternative for beverages and cooking
  • Can be part of anti-inflammatory dietary patterns when unsweetened
