Have you tried this using honey or another natural sweetener?
We haven’t, but you definitely could try!
Not bad for Keto. Def didn’t feel like it spiked my blood sugar and it wasn’t too heavy.
That’s awesome! Cheryl’s sister made this every night while she was pregnant to avoid blood sugar spikes while still curbing her sweet tooth. She still makes it even though she’s had the baby!
