Being keto for over a year, I have learned many things. Mainly as I learn new things, the products that I purchase change and grow. A lot of times, when starting out, you want to try products that replace what you can no longer eat. Sugar free candy, low carb tortillas. Stuff that is still pretty readily available in any grocery store.
Also when you start out, you tend to buy pretty much anything that somebody mentions or posts about. You want to try new things and that usually ends with buying things that are not so tasty. You also end up figuring out what works best for your body and sometimes that requires trial and error. Sometimes uncomfortable trial and error. For example, most cannot eat anything with maltitol…..just don’t. You will end up basically feeling like you will poop your pants.
Be sure to check out my first Keto Amazon Shopping List post for great other keto products that I still regularly get.
As I learn new things about keto, I start to find new products through Amazon. I follow quite a few Youtube channels that follow keto and always make notes of their recommendations. I check to see if the product is on Amazon and read all of the reviews. Those reviews can be very helpful to see if the product can bother your digestion or if it tastes like cardboard. Two things that many keto items are known to do.
I do have to say though that keto products have blown up in the past few months! Everybody and their mom are throwing the word keto on their products. Reminds me of the gluten free craze because people assume that anything gluten free was more healthy. Moreso than ever it is important to read ingredients and nutrition facts when it comes to keto products. They can slap a keto label on any product and it can have 40g of carbs. Psch, that ain’t keto yo! I actually saw a meal delivery advertising keto meals with potatoes and breading as ingredients!
Here is another list of great keto products that I discovered through Amazon and buy on the regular. Some of them I am able to Subscribe and Save on as well to say some more money.
Perfect Keto Chocolate Collagen Grass-fed Collagen and MCT Oil Low Carb Protein Powder Now I don't take this because I think it can put me into ketosis faster. This is not purchased for the purpose on exogenous ketones! It is purchased because it tastes great in coffee, have MCT powder in it, and has collagen in it. I think of as a sweet tasting bone broth with similar benefits. | |
CARB-O-LICIOUS Low Carb Rum Balls If you come from a Scandinavian family and you grew up with romkuller, then these are your jam! These are so delicious, it is almost impossible to think that they are only 1 Net carb per ball. They are expensive, but to me they are worth it. The ingredients are minimal and they give you all of the nutritional information. They make other products as well such as muffins and cakes. I have only tried these. | |
Lily's Chocolate Bars It seems to be the consensus in the keto kommunity that Lily's Chocolate is the best tasting chocolate bars out there. They do sell these at Whole Foods, but for those that do not have those to easily get to, you can get them here. They are creamy, flavorful, and are 4 Net carbs for half of the entire bar! | |
Natural Vitality Natural Calm Natural Calm is the solution to both restoring a healthy magnesium level and balancing your calcium intake-the result of which is natural stress relief. It is not enough to completely support healthy magnesium levels so you may need to supplement for more electrolytes. It tastes pretty bland, which I don't mind, and I will sometimes squirt some Mio or juice concentrate in as well. | |
SuperSeedz Gourmet Pumpkin Seeds I initially discovered these at Whole Foods and fell in love! They are 1 Net carb a serving and they are really filling and taste great. The roasted sea salt is really the only carb friendly one, but they are so flavorful, you are not missing out. I had to stop myself one day from eating the entire bag in one sitting....that's a lot of calories... | |
Quest Nutrition Protein Powder Be sure to pay attention to which flavor you get. Not all are as low carb as others. My favorite is the Cinnamon Crunch. It only has 1 Net carb per scoop and I will be honest, it is way too sweet for the entire scoop. I usually use half a scoop for my smoothie and that is still 10 grams of protein and I am able to add lots of fat to make a rich protein shake that is very filling. They also have a multi-purpose baking mix (within same product selection) that I have heard good things about. | |
LonoLife Grass fed Beef Bone Broth There are two types of bone broths that you can buy. This is the actual concentrate thick gravy type product that mixes with hot water and sip like a tea. This is expensive, but it really does taste the best out of the other concentrates that I have tried. These are not the same as broth sold in a store. You need to make sure you are getting the fats and collagen with the BONE broth. | |
Ancient Nutrition Bone Broth Protein This is the other form of bone broth that can be taken. This is different in the sense that it is not savory. It gives you all of the benefits of a bone broth, but it is used like a protein powder and tastes like vanilla or chocolate. It has 20 grams of protein in each serving and it does taste pretty good. If you are the type that does not like soup/broth flavor, give this a try to get the same benefits. | |
Jordan's Skinny Syrup Sugar Free Some would rather put just stevia in their coffee with some heavy whipping cream, but I like to live dangerously! There is no maltodextrin in this brand as well as Torani so it will not spike your blood sugar and I have no issue with sucralose. I love the taste of these syrups in my coffee in the morning and I find them to be a nice treat to have. Live a little! | |
