Is peanut butter keto-friendly?
Depending on the brand you use, peanut butter can be a keto-friendly food choice. But you must read the label; many store-bought peanut butter brands are loaded with sugar and unhealthy fats (like soy or cottonseed oil). Keto-friendly peanut butter should be organic and have no more than two ingredients, including peanuts and sea salt.Is nutella keto-friendly?
Nutella and other brands of chocolate hazelnut butter are often advertised as a quick, healthy meal/snack, particularly for kids. But, there is a lot of misperception about the nutritional value of many commercially bought nut butters such as Nutella. Nutella is loaded with sugar and unhealthy fat (like palm oil). A single serving of Nutella has 21 grams of sugar. Some generic chocolate hazelnut butter brands also add high fructose corn syrup and trans fats. If you love Nutella, you can still indulge if you make your own homemade version of the chocolate nut butter that’s 100% keto-friendly. How to make ketogenic Nutella at home
Store-bought Nutella is loaded with sugar and unhealthy fats, but you can make a healthy version of homemade, keto-friendly chocolate hazelnut butter that’ll hit the spot. Homemade keto Nutella takes about 30 minutes to make. The ingredients include:- Hazelnuts

Hold the banana!
On Healthy Keto™, you don’t want to top your toast or Nutella peanut butter sandwiches with banana slices. Bananas are often seen as a healthy food choice because they are associated with high potassium levels. But, a banana is also high in sugar, with as many as 22 grams of carbs each. Adding a banana to your Nutella sandwich will kick you out of ketosis. A medium-sized banana provides 358 mg of potassium. This seems like a lot until you compare it to one avocado (975 mg) or 2 cups of raw spinach (334 mg potassium). Chicken, tomatoes, broccoli, and asparagus are also great sources of potassium. It’s best not to have a banana sandwich on keto—even if you use keto-friendly bread. Instead of using a sliced banana, try adding keto-friendly fruits like blueberries and raspberries.Keto Nutella and peanut butter sandwich recipe
