Keto Falooda is a delectable low-carb version of the classic Indian dessert beverage for individuals on a ketogenic diet. This Falooda is made with a combination of Chia seeds that resemble traditional Falooda noodles, coconut milk, and keto rose syrup for that distinctive floral sweetness without the extra sugar that makes up this cool delight. Every sip is delicious and fulfilling because of the additional texture that basil seeds add. This beverage is naturally sweetened with Erythritol or the favorite keto sweetener, as it is high in fiber and good fats, and it also helps us feel full & energized. This Keto Falooda strikes the ideal blend of flavor, texture, & nutrition, satisfying the sweet tooth while lowering the carbohydrate intake, if you are following the keto diet or just want to have something healthy.

- Sugar-free or homemade rose syrup sweetened with Erythritol or stevia is a good option for those following a keto diet because it will still have its distinctive floral fragrance.
PSYLLIUM HUSK:
