The Best Keto Chocolate

Just wanted to take a minute to share this find.  I have never really been a chocolate person but something about not being able to have it on keto makes me want it lol.  So I went to my local health food store looking for something keto-friendly and I came across Lily's chocolate.  




It's great.  I went back and tried all the flavors.  The one above is the best for regular chocolate lovers the rest seem to be mostly dark chocolate based my second favorite is the salted almond.  So if you've been craving a chocolate bar this is it!!!

Swerve Cookies for Keto Yay or Nah?



Finally a cookie mix that works with keto.  There is a lot of recipes floating around out there sometimes you don't want to have to run to the store and buy $30 worth of ingredients you've never heard of you just want to mix it up and go.

I decided to give these a try.  Chocolate chip has never really been my thing so I used a colander to sift them out and I made half chocolate chip and half without so I could try them both.

 Not the prettiest cookies I've ever made but I am shocked and amazed I loved them!!! Even the kids loved them.  Even my husband who is anti diet tasting anything thought they were pretty good. These are definitely on my list of go to quick sweets!!  I can't wait to try their other dessert products.

Hm... wink ice cream for keto diet yay or nah?

What do we want... KETO ICE CREAM!! When do we want it ??? Now!!!

Wink Ice cream to the rescue … maybe not


This is a plant based Ice cream that claims to be super yummy and keto and low calorie friendly.
They arrived packaged with dry ice and to my surprise were not melted when delivered.  Even though they came at about 5 p.m. and I didn't notice until about 11.



The taste test begins.
1ST up lemon … oooo. The texture is very strange not like ice cream more like a fudge pop very very strange but the lemon I can live with.  It's not the best thing ever but works I guess.

2nd I try the chocolate … I dunno if you watched Friends but I can only imagine this is what "mocolate" taste like It's not very good but maybe chocolate is just not my thing right?

3rd we have strawberry cheese cake! I was looking forward to this one the most … Unfortunately it taste like cough syrup.

4th, Mint, um lets just say its very very very minty.  Like trying to drink a slushy while chewing double mint gum.

5th Vanilla it taste vanilla-ish its just these flavors are so odd.  They have a rough kick at the end.  I don't know if I can get over it. 

OK so this is where I've stopped for now.  I have 3 flavors left to try, cake batter, cinnamon bun, and regular strawberry.  Its going to take me a few days to get my nerve back up to be a taste tester with this stuff.  

Conclusion:  The only flavor I tried that is tolerable is lemon.  So for the price I even give that a thumbs down.  The texture is something I can deal with but the flavors are trying to hard and its not working out.  If your curious to try my advice would be not to order and spend to much until you know you like it.  I'm sure there is a customer base out there that love this product. Just not for me !!

Mix together leaving some cauliflower pieces a little chunky for texture.

Why Try Pruvit

BETTER FUEL BETTER YOU!    SHOP KETO!!


So about a year ago I started my keto journey it was great and it worked I lost 60 pounds and the hit the ultimate plateau  Eventually this will deter anyone so I went looking for a boost.  A friend of mine was showed me these products by pruvit.  I was just as skeptical as the next person because you don't need this if you follow the diet right?  If you follow the diet you body puts itself in ketosis.  At this point I was willing to try anything so I prepared myself for some nasty protein filled supplement but to my surprise it wasn't it tasted great and I felt great. The Keto diet is great but sometimes we need a boost.  Sometimes we fall off the diet a little and need help getting back on track.



I've found that Pruvit keto drink mixes are a great addition to the day.  They taste great and there are lots of recipes to use them in to make them even more fulfilling or just change it up a bit.  
I find the keto max charged products with caffine work as an energy drink for me in the mornings.  So give it a try let me know what you think and what are your results.  If you don't know where to start or which to try first I recommend heart tart and splash are my two favorites but everyone's taste are different and they have something for everyone.
They have a great deal with smart ship you get 22% off !!!
