  • Keto Maple Syrup: I’ve been testing, eating, then testing, okay fine–they’re all the same thing, but sometimes it feels more like testing than eating if ya know what I mean–keto sweeteners like it’s my job (bc it is duh). And guess what? This is one of the least offensive low carb, keto maple syrups I’ve tried. The flavor blends perfectly and tastily into your keto pudding. Perfecto!
  • Liquid Monkfruit: literally the low carb drops I use for everything–from my everyday tea to a lil’ sweet booster for my daily keto smoothie, or the sweet boost I need to keep my keto pudding tasting like an ac-tual dee-sert!
