Is hot chocolate Keto-friendly?

As with all things low-carb, it is easy to modify your favorite foods and beverages to make them Keto compliant, and hot chocolate is no exception. The key to keeping it Keto is in using an unsweetened cocoa powder - you can add your preferred low-carb sweetener to your beverage to counteract any bitterness. It is also important to add some extra fats to your beverage, and in this instance, we have used heavy cream. If you wanted to boost the fats further you could always BULLETPROOF® your hot chocolate by blending it with butter, coconut oil, or BULLETPROOF® Brain Octane Oil (MCT Oil). Be sure to adjust your macros however if you make any changes.

You may also use an alternative plant-based Keto-friendly milk if preferred. Just be sure to allow for any changes in your macros.
