Keto Shopping Guide | May 2020

Keto-friendly products I love
By
Carla Snuggs

If you follow along on Instagram, you probably already know that I live a keto, primal lifestyle. I eat a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet. I’m back with another keto shopping guide to link you to some of the current keto products that I love!

If you’re not sure where to start, check out some of my previous keto guides!

Let’s get to it!

Keto Coconut Macaroons from Ketonia Foods

What do you get when you cross keto and a veteran french pastry chef? A swath of delicious keto baked goods. Ketonia foods now has the #1 macaroon on Amazon. They are the best macaroons I’ve had keto or otherwise. Shop here Ketoniafoods.com

Joya Elixirs

These delicious KETO friendly elixirs by wellness company JOYA are made with the purest, carefully sourced ingredients. Joya offers an assortment of products that are rigorously tested to meet stringent quality and potency standards. All ingredients are organic or wild-crafted, and all products are non-GMO with zero gluten, refined sugar, dairy, preservatives or additives.

Grain4Grain

See this content in the original post

Grain4Grain is a company that turns spent grain (from craft beer) into a superfood flour. How is it made? 1. It all starts at your local farm. Premium barley is harvested and sent to breweries. 2. The brewer takes this barley through the first step of brewing - the mash process, extracts all the carbs (sugar) to give fuel for the alcohol to be produced to make beer. 3. Most spent barley (or spent grain) gets dumped in landfills, harming the environment, Grain4Grain rescues this spent barley and creates a superfood flour called “barely barley flour” 4. It’s packed with protein, fiber, and it has no active carbs! You must try the We have the flour and a pancake mix! Shop: Grain4grain.com  

Keto Queen Kreations

If you have a sweet tooth and love baking, try Keto Queen Kreations. There are so many different baking mixes to choose from. The Low carb pound cake ix is my favorite! It’s a perfect low carb pound cake mix made with organic coconut flour and a couple other high quality ingredients (Erythritol, Baking Powder).  There is only 1 Net Carb per serving and it’s Sugar Free and Gluten Free. You MUST try! 

Exogenous Ketones Drink Mix

Another healthy addition to your keto shopping list would be Perfect Keto’s Exogenous Ketones Drink Mix. When you’re just getting started on the keto diet, this refreshing drink helps you ease your way into ketosis by providing BHB (beta-hydroxybutyrate) salts. It comes in 4 flavors, namely Strawberry Lemonade, Chocolate, Vanilla, and Salted Caramel. Aside from being low-calorie and keto-friendly, it’s also dairy-free and gluten-free. Since this ketone drink has BHB salts — meaning that BHB is bound to a mineral — it’s also one way to replenish lost electrolytes and minimizing symptoms of the keto flu. Drink this before a workout too if you like!

You might think that exogenous ketones are only useful for reaching a state of ketosis, but they also aid with reducing food cravings and improving mental performance. Learn more about ketone drinks

MoonMag

Many keto dieters don't get adequate magnesium and as a result they experience muscle cramping, twitching, migraines and insomnia or poor sleeping. Magnesium is a skin care mineral miracle and provides instant relief for muscle, nerve pain and is a great sleep aid. Keto dieters would greatly benefit from transdermal magnesium creams and balms for pain relief, whether that be muscular, headaches, migraines, insomnia, restless legs, back pain or sports strains. Magnesium applied topically helps reduce pain and improve overall quality of life and makes the Keto diet easier.. People often quit because of the side effects of missing major electrolytes like magnesium. MoonMagi’s Magnesium Pain Relief helps with muscle cramps, twitching, muscle soreness, fatigue, insomnia, migraines, nervous tension, PMS symptoms, supports bone health, and mental health as it helps restore magnesium levels. Their magnesium relief creams provide a unique blend of potent Magnesium Chloride with organic butters and oils like Shea Butter, Cacao Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, and Vit E oil. Their highly-sought after products have legendary transformative powers on the skin, body and mind. Clean + effective probiotic skincare made with superfoods to restore you from the outside in. Shop Moonmag.com

Kiss My Keto

Kiss My Keto products are great for beginners, in advanced weight loss or to incorporate in your meal plan and menu that can help transform your body. Some of my favorite products include:

Keto Ramen Noodles - Kiss My Keto’s Keto Ramen is sourced from authentic konjac and comes in 3 delicious flavors — Thai Green Curry Chicken, Lemon Turkey Thyme, and Beef Chili! If you’re looking for an instant yummy meal, this is for you. Each serving has 1-3 grams of net carbohydrates depending on your flavor of choice. It will also help you meet your fat and protein needs (4 grams of fat and 9-10 grams of protein per serving). The fiber that’s inside the noodles moves slowly through your digestive system, allowing you to feel full for longer.

Keto Baking Mix - Satisfy your sweet tooth with three exciting flavors — Brownie, Shortbread Cookie, and Snickerdoodle Cookie. There is no need to buy additional ingredients except for egg and butter that are already in your pantry. The keto baking mixes use keto-approved sweeteners, allulose, and monk fruit. All their baking mixes contain MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides) that provide you with energy. Enjoy dessert without the carbs 

Keto Collagen - This keto-friendly powdered supplement makes sure you get the collagen protein you need for your health. They offer two yummy flavor options ― Chocolate and Birthday Cake which both contain only 1 gram of carbs per serving!

I always recommend Keto Farms, the snacking company that makes craveable low carb snacks. Their Crunchy Cheese Mix is now a best-seller on Amazon.
