ChocZero S’mallows

I’ve come across a few keto-friendly marshmallows over the years, but none of them have ever been quite right… They weren’t the right consistency, they melted into a goo instead of fluff or toasting, or they didn’t taste quite right. No more! ChocZero has recently introduced “S’mallows“, a damn-near-perfect low-carb marshmallow.

They taste right. They feel right. They melt correctly. They actually toast like a real marshmallow. For all intents and purposes, they’re *real* marshmallows.

At 21g carbs per serving, you might think that’s a lot, however with 20g of dietary fiber per serving, that results in just 1g net carbs per serving. It doesn’t get much better than that. Sweetened with natural vanilla flavor and monk fruit extract, there’s also no sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners.

You thought this possibly couldn’t get better? They also come in mini-form and even freeze-dried form!

The mini S’mallows are perfect for topping off some hot chocolate and the freeze-dried S’mallows are perfect for adding to some of the previously-featured Magic Spoon Cereal. I especially like them with the frosted and fruity flavor cereals.

If you’ve, like me, been waiting a very long time for a keto-friendly marshmallow, your wait is over. I’ve tried using these in every possible way I could think of to use a marshmallow, and they have performed spectacularly. Highly recommended!

ChocoRite

chocorite-logoChocoRite is a low-carb candy manufacturer, from whom I was recently able to try a few of their Low Carb Candy Bars.  They also produce chocolate bars, protein bars and protein shakes, but in this article I’ll be discussing three of their low-carb candy bars; the Chocolate Crispy Caramels, Chocolate Covered Caramels, and Peanut Butter Cup Patties.  In total, there are eight different milk and dark chocolate varieties.

Sparkling ICE

Are you addicted to sugary sweet soda but are trying to maintain a ketogenic diet?  If so then your options are slim.  Most major brands make diet and more recently zero calorie options, but BEWARE of these as nearly every one that I’ve investigated uses aspartame as its artificial sweetener.  The next best thing that I’ve found to satisfy a soda craving is flavored sparkling water, and thus far the best tasting of these that I’ve found is definitely Sparkling ICE.

ChocZero

logo2xFor a very long time I was in search of a low-sugar or sugar-free chocolate that didn’t taste… off.  That wasn’t gritty in the mouth.  That actually tasted and felt like chocolate.  I tried various big candy brands’ sugar-free options but these mostly used sugar alcohols so I was unable to eat more than a piece or two at a time (see my article on sugar alcohols for why).  Then I found ChocZero and my ketogenic life changed forever.
