WHY IT'S NOT KETO-FRIENDLY
- Standard mixes include dried fruit and sweetened chocolate → high sugars
- Net carbs ~46g/100g makes ketosis maintenance difficult
- Energy-dense; easy to overeat without precise portioning
- Keto-friendly homemade versions can swap in nuts/seeds + 85–90% dark chocolate
- Aim for <30g portions if using a strict low-carb variant
- Choose unsweetened, no-dried-fruit blends to reduce carbs
HEALTH BENEFITS
- Nuts provide minerals (magnesium, manganese, copper)
- Healthy fats from nuts and seeds can support satiety
- Some fiber if dried fruit is minimized or omitted
PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS
MAKE KETO VERSION
Create with nuts (macadamia, pecans, almonds), seeds (pumpkin, sunflower), unsweetened coconut flakes, and 85–90% dark chocolate.
PORTION PACK
