January 05 marks National Ketogenic Day and here are the five drinks that every one who can
- Black tea and coffee are keto-friendly. Even heavy cream can be used to make tea or coffee but not milk as it is high on carbs. Meanwhile, bottled cold coffee with added sugar or artificial sweetener are rich in carbs and should be avoided.
- People on Keto diet can whisk a smoothie made of fruits, almond or soy milk and peanut butter. Its healthy and completely keto friendly. Adding roasted oats to it will make it even more rich in fibre and keep you full through the day.
- If you do not have the time to prepare your smoothie, protein shakes can be the best option. In fact, chocolate protein powders can make a great addition to your coffee. However, always be sure to check the label for carbohydrate content. Protein powders with casein take longer to digest, helping you stay full.
- Aerated drinks are a big no-no for any kind of diet.
