Dont worry guys! I'm still here!
I am sure all of you have heard about the Keto craze that swept the nation( well the gram). Let me just start off by saying your girl has been a firm low carb, no sugar believer for quite some time now. HOWEVER, trying to factor in this whole "Fats are your friend" thing has been an adjustment.
Anyways, I have been toying with this idea for a while and felt it was time to share. I LOVE following my Keto and Weight loss journey girls online. HOWEVER I hate that a lot of the "diet friendly" snacks are not as readily available in Canada. I really don't want to have to jump through whoops to get low carb bread. Or pay a ridiculous amount in shipping and duties.
So, as I get to the point here. I will be sharing some of my favorite keto finds. I will be tagging my posts as #KetoinTheCity, and #Ketointhesix.
If you know me, and know me well you know I am all about " Sharing is Caring"
For my first #KetoinTheCity, and #Ketointhesix post....drum roll please......
"SMART SWEETS"
Smart sweets come in 4 flavors. Regular gummies, sour gummies, sour blast buddies and sweet fish. I grabbed a package of the regular and sweet fish. They retailed at $4.99 + tax. Mind you, with anything keto, or diet friendly you are going to expect to pay more. But at the end of the day you have to pick and choose your battles.
Consumed with joy and a sweet tooth, as soon as I got to my car I ripped open the back of the regular gummies.
Texture: They were a bit harder then regular gummie but nothing to complain about.
Taste: They tasted amazing. Not a smack in your face, bursting with flavor. I found the flavors mild, but I actually prefer that over an over powering artificial sweeter flavor you get with most sugar free/reduced sugar snack foods.
Quantity: Its the perfect amount for a quick snack. It can be shareable, depending on how much you like the other person.
Price: $2.94 - $5.99 - depends on where you buy them
Macros: Serving Size 50g - 1 Bag - 90 Calories - 0 Fat - 33 Carbs - 28 Fiber - 5 Net Carbs - 3g Sugar - 3 Protien.
Whats in this stuff?: Prebiotic soluble fiber from tapioca, chicory root fiber, gelatin, lactic acid, citric acid, rice flour, malic acid, fumaric acid, natural fruit flavor, fruit and vegetable juice (for color), coconut oil, stevia leaf extract, carnauba wax.

Over all Rating: I really enjoy these. I would give them a 4/5. I didn't go for a 5/5 because I am greedy and wish there was just a LITTLE bit more in each bag. They are a great snack for movie nights, gossip sessions with your girlfriends, taming that sweet tooth, or if you want a healthier alternative for your kiddos.
