New, recent additions or soon to be released Keto Foods
I thought it might interest some.
These were released as the hot Keto items this year in our trade magazine
(I’m retired now but I still like to keep up some)
Usually they would have showcased them at ExpoWest, but it was canceled
Sometimes it is a new company, sometimes a new addition.
And sometimes it is hard to find !
New Vegan or Vegetarian Keto Foods Just launched products
Some of these listings are the companies main page versus the particular new product they launched.
This one makes products for food allergies, some products are sweetened with stevia, some with monk fruit and some with Erythritol. Low Carb, Sugar Free and Gluten Free. New Launch Sipping Chocolate
Thanks so much for the info, @Marie20. I was just now reading another thread about the great success that some folks have had with the keto diet as a tool to manage blood glucose, and thinking “I SO want the experience they’re having, but since I don’t eat animal products I think I’d starve to death on this diet!”.
This looks really interesting! I have used other products from this company before. I hate vague ingredients like “vegan natural flavour” so will have to email them to find out if I can eat this (I’m sure it’s vegan, but I also have severe food allergies). I’ve heard a lot about ghee and it would be good to have something less processed than a lot of the vegan butters out there.
I have not been following a low-carb diet lately and have been thinking about trying to make some crunchy chickpeas in my air fryer to use as croutons on salads or just a crunchy snack whenever I’m out and about and travelling again. I didn’t think they would have been considered vegan, but definitely easier on blood sugar than grains.
A snack (Canadian brand) I recently discovered are Eve’s Crackers. They are made of sunflower seeds and flaxseeds (at least the ones I’ve tried) and are really good and not too high in carbohydrates.
Foods Alive makes some excellent tasting flax crackers with simple ingredients that are less than 1 carb each cracker. They also make flax oil dressings that are delicious.
Simple Mills has some almond and sunflower seed crackers that are about 1 carb per cracker.
88% cocoa content about 1 and a 1/2 carbs per square. One of the highest cocoa content that still tastes like a chocolate bar and not just straight cocoa.
12 carbs for a third of the bar and a change for low carbers as it’s a crunchy chocolate bar.
Smart Sweets Candy 40 carbs minus 12 fibers and then they say to minus the 10 grams allulose for only 18 net carbs per bag. Allulose is a new natural sweetener and supposedly not converted to glucose. I really don’t know much about it yet and if it affects us type 1’s.
Hey @Terry4! I was very pleased to see you here the other day, when I logged in for the first time in ages :). Thanks for the “welcome back”, old friend!
I’ve just recently started a keto eating plan, and have been stumped a couple times by BG spikes after meals. I’m talking mid-200s for HOURS, despite multiple correction boluses, after eating something that, according to the package had fewer than 10 grams of carbohydrate, and for which I bolused. Has anyone else experienced this? I am particularly confused by a product I found called Artisan Bakers Keto Bread - Multi Seed. Package claims 0g effective carbs per slice (and I looked up all the ingredients to confirm that), but I’ve eaten sandwiches with it twice and had the same BG spike each time. Sandwich filling was almond cheese, containing 6g CHO, at most, and no other food was eaten with it. Is anyone familiar with this keto bread, and did you have a similar experience? And suggestions or ideas?
Hi there @EmilyC! I echo @Terry4 's welcome back; it’s always a pleasure to see your name on the board!
The only potential reason I can think of is how the manufacturer is assigning values. I don’t know if you recall the old “Dreamfield” pasta, but the manufacturer claimed it had something like 5 net grams of carbohydrate per serving. It turned out not to be true and that language has since been removed from their packaging.
@EmilyC It certainly doesn’t look like it should have very many carbs per the ingredients. If you look up carbs, 3 carbs per quarter cup of almond flour, 3 carbs per 2 Tablespoons of coconut flour. Psyllium is pure fiber. It looks like you put about 3/4 cup in most recipes of each, but this has pysllium too. So honestly eating only 2 slices should not be very many carbs at all. Uness there is an ingredient in it that they are not saying on the label? Extremely unlikely but it does happen. Sometimes it is even a sourcing issue. They think they are getting a specific ingredient but it’s not or it’s not pure, extremely unlikely again but it happens.?
So maybe some kind of weird reaction to it?Just as so many of us carb eaters have a problem with rice for some reason?
I opened an image of the nutrients and ingredients. Tapioca starch is the first ingredient. I believe the order of ingredients indicates what there is the most of.
lol…
So there seems to be different brands…here is the one I looked at. This one has much better ingredients to me I think. But I should have caught it didn’t have “multi” seeds so it couldn’t have been your multi seed bread.
I’ve tried allulose and it does affect my BG but not as much as real sugar however, there can be stomach issues with it like xylitol so be careful with it until you know how it will effect you.
Holy moly. The package I have says “resistant tapioca starch” as a first ingredient, which is different from “regular” tapioca starch (in that it is pure fiber and no actual starch, according to the internet). So their packaging is not consistent! And my package even has the same item number as yours. Well, as a human carb guinea pig I’m going to write to these Artisan Bakers and let them know their carb-free bread has carbs.
Do you recall when we, TuDiabetes, while in chat, participated in the nutritional labeling conference or something like that … to improve the nutritional labeling. With all of the activity we generated, I’m recalling we actually shut down the FDA servers for a short while.
