These recipes make the quantities visible so you can compare them with your own preferences. They are not labelled as diabetes treatments or a guarantee of ketosis. The nutrition panel lists total carbohydrate; net-carb estimates use total carbs minus fibre from US-style data.

  • 1Compare total carbohydrate per serving, not only the recipe title.
  • 2Check your own yogurt, milk alternative and protein powder labels.
  • 3If you follow a medical carbohydrate plan, use the counting method and portions your care team recommends.
