Changing the way you eat is one of the hardest things in life. It gets especially hard when you have grown up with certain foods like bread being a staple in your diet. But studies have shown that too many carbs – especially those found in bread – can be very bad for your blood sugar. Carbs and sugar both are also linked to weight gain, which tends to be harder to lose the older you get.
With the recent surge in people adopting the Ketogenic lifestyle, finding a decent bread substitute is nearly impossible. In order to remove the carbs, you are limited as to what ingredients you can use. As a result, everything is either dry and crumbly or tastes much like the packaging it comes in. Facing the daunting task of creating something that is not only good, but good for you, Ketonia has stepped up to the plate and managed to do the impossible with their Keto bread mix!
Ketonia was founded by Geri Terry, a French Pastry chef by trade, and her son John. Geri adopted the Ketogenic way of eating after many conversations with John about the science behind the Keto movement and what had led to his personal success with the eating plan. Keto was about as far away from the French way of cooking as you could get, so a lot of trial and error went into perfecting their recipes. Through persistence, Geri and John have come up with a bread mix that is out of this world.
Ketonia’s bread mix boasts ZERO grams of net carbs per serving while also delivering a whopping 13 grams of protein. And the finished product, which does take some time to achieve, is spectacular. The bread is moist and springy without being too dense. And the taste is almost identical to that of a regular bakery-bought bread. Ketonia’s bread mix allows those who are on the Ketogenic eating plan to be able to enjoy simple things like sandwiches while still avoiding carbs.
A short visit to Ketonia’s website brought me to a plethora of recipes that can be made using their bread mix. I found not only a recipe for Keto croissants (one of the fixtures of French bakeries), but also Keto cinnamon rolls with icing. I appreciate that Ketonia freely gives its customers access to amazing recipes like these. I personally can’t wait to try the croissants!!
In addition to the bread mix, Ketonia also offers a pre-made Coconut Macaroon that is just amazing! With only 1 gram of net carbs per serving, these little bites of heaven will satisfy even the most ravenous sweet tooth.
I am so thankful to have been introduced to Ketonia and look forward to trying some of their recipes. I may need to order some more mix…
Enjoy, y’all!
