My best five keto products I discovered so far in 2022

- by Francis Vachon

True made veggie ketchup and mustard

Norma ketchup can have 5 g of carbs per tablespoon. When you have 20 in the bank for the day on a strict keto diet, that is a hard hit on what you can have for the rest of the day. True made veggie ketchup is not perfect, but at 3 g of carbs per tablespoon, you can slowly reduce your ketchup addiction, or use it as a solid alternative on moderate keto. I did not see any differences when it comes to taste. It tastes just like any big-brand ketchup. They also make other low carb condiments: mustard, BBQ sauces, etc.

IQBar

There are many-many keto bars on the market. Being constantly on the move at odds hours, I tried many different one. Somewhere great, but most of them were not. IQBar are probably the best I tried. I will have one for snack, or if I can’t stop for a full meal, I’ll eat two for a full meal. Seven flavours are available: Chocolate Sea Salt, Peanut Butter Chip, Almond Butter Chip, Lemon Blueberry, Banana Nut, Wild Blueberry, and Matcha Chai

Goalz keto chocolates

I did a full review of Goalz chocolates in a previous story. I will say it again. They are good. VERY food.

keto4allCanada

Not a product per see, but a great way to discover new products. I reviewed keto4allCanada subscription box in a previous story.

IQMix

Being on keto means you need to compensate a lot for the lack of salt intake. Drinking salted water? I did it. I did not like it. IQMix is powder pouches that you mix with water. They have different flavour and are filled with electrolytes. Fill up tour sodium and potassium with flavoured water: Lemon Lime, Blood Orange, Blueberry Pomegranate, or Peach Mango stick packs are up for grab.
