Benefits of Using Keto-friendly Ingredients:
By using keto-friendly ingredients such as erythritol, coconut cream, and egg yolks, we decrease the amount of sugar and increase the healthy fats in the spread. This not only makes it keto-friendly but also beneficial for overall health. Coconut cream is a great source of MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides) which can improve brain function and provide energy. Egg yolks contain choline which supports liver function and brain health. Erythritol is a natural sugar substitute that doesn't spike blood sugar levels, making it diabetic-friendly.
