There are several varieties of sugar-free Jell-O that are keto-friendly, including: Jell-O Sugar-Free Gelatin Dessert in flavors like raspberry, strawberry, and lime. Jell-O Sugar-Free Instant Pudding in flavors like chocolate, vanilla, and butterscotch.
It gets even better - you can also find desserts made with keto-friendly ingredients like healthy fats from coconut oil, and flours made from nuts and seeds, like almond flour, pumpkin seed flour, flaxseed flour or sunflower seed flour. These sugar-free ingredients can easily fit into a balanced Keto diet.
Gelatins and puddings are popular dessert items. Unlike fruits, these dessert options offer no nutritional value. However, people can eat a small portion of sugar-free pudding or gelatin as a low-carb dessert without interfering with their blood sugar levels.
While the answer to this question looked promising, I wouldn't recommend indulging your sugar free Jello kick with the boxed stuff you purchase from the store. Between the sweeteners, dyes, and the low quality collagen used, it doesn't matter that this dessert is low in grams of net carbs.
Sugar-free packaged jello is made with artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame and sucralose. Animal and human studies show that aspartame may damage cells and cause inflammation ( 3 ).
Zero sugar. Not a low calorie food. This product contains 0 g of sugar, 20 calories and 3 g of total carbohydrate per serving compared to 2 g sugar, 25 calories and 3 g of total carbohydrates in original cool whip whipped topping. Contains 0 g lactose per serving.
Peanut butter can definitely be part of a keto diet, but it's best to stick to plain options that are free of extra flavors and sweeteners. Almond butter is a good choice, too, and it's slightly lower in carbs. Additionally, you should be mindful of your portion size if you're trying to lose weight.
Is Cool Whip Keto? If you're looking solely at carb content, then technically yes, store bought cool whip is keto friendly. However, the real problem with store bought cool whip is that it is full of junk ingredients. Hydrogenated oil is like the first thing listed followed by high fructose corn syrup!
In essence, dirty keto is a variation of the keto diet (a high fat, moderate protein, low carb diet) that allows you to consume whatever you want as long as it meets your macro goals. While it still reduces carb intake, it does not pay attention to the nutritional value of the fats and protein consumed.
Halo Top's Keto Series may be the best choice for ice cream to keep carbs low. One serving (2/3 cup) of the Chocolate Caramel Lava Cake, for example, has 190 calories, 6 grams of protein, 6 grams of fiber, and 3 grams of net carbs.
Jello is high in sugar and low in fiber and protein, making it an unhealthy food choice. One serving (6.4 grams of dry mix) of sugar-free jello made with aspartame has only 13 calories, 1 gram of protein and no sugar. Still, artificial sweeteners may have negative effects on your health ( 2 , 3 ).
Sugar free pudding mixes do have carbs. The carbs come from the cornstarch and maltodextrin that's in them. Below are the net carb counts for the 4-serving box of instant and cook & serve puddings. The numbers are for the mix only, not the milk or cream necessary to prepare them.
Is Cool Whip Keto? If you're looking solely at carb content, then technically yes, store bought cool whip is keto friendly. However, the real problem with store bought cool whip is that it is full of junk ingredients. Hydrogenated oil is like the first thing listed followed by high fructose corn syrup!
Sugar-free pudding is a low-calorie food. One serving of Jell-O brand sugar-free pudding contains 60 calories. Each serving of sugar-free pudding has only 1.5 g of total fat and 270 mg of sodium -- this allows you to eat pudding as part of your low-fat diet program.
