INGREDIENTS NOTES:
WILD BLUEBERRIES:
- Wild blueberries are a great complement to a keto diet since they are lower in carbs than conventional blueberries and are high in antioxidants. Additionally, they aid in lowering the shake’s total carbohydrate content.
ALMOND BUTTER:
- Almond butter adds flavor and smoothness in these muffins and it also add the healthy fats. We can find more monounsaturated fats in almond butter, which gives the shake a special touch. We can also use the macadamia nut butter as well.
MCT OIL:
- We have to use MCT oil because the body swiftly transforms medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil into energy, which keeps you in ketosis. This oil is also known as MCT powder. It also helps with endurance and mental clarity.
CHIA SEEDS:
- Chia Seeds are rich in fiber, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids, chia seeds aid in thickening the drink while promoting better digestion and longer feelings of fullness
KETO PROTEIN POWDER:
- We have to choose a protein powder that has no added sugars and is low in carbohydrates. Collagen protein or whey protein isolate are great options for promoting muscle repair and preserving ketosis.
KETO SWEETENER:
- These natural, low-carb sweeteners are ideal for keto diets because they don’t raise blood sugar levels. We can adjust the amount of sweetener according to the preferred sweetness.
