What are keto chrisps made of?
Keto Chips are a product designed for those practising a ketogenic diet, a key principle of which is to limit carbohydrate intake. The ingredients on which the chips are based have been selected to ensure that the product provides the appropriate nutritional value, in line with the keto diet. The chips are based on soya protein concentrate, potato starch, tapioca starch and potato flakes. The ingredients provide a satisfying taste and crunchiness, but also the right amount of protein in the product. Soya fibre, which supports the function of the digestive system, is also an important part of the composition. The source of fat in keto crisps is sunflower oil, replacing the harmful palm oil found in most traditional crisps on the market. The addition of spices and natural flavours enrich the taste, making keto chips a tasty, but also a health-beneficial and keto diet compliant snack.
What nutritional values do they have?
Keto chips are characterised by their low carbohydrate content, which is one of the most significant advantages of the product and which sets them apart from the classic versions of chips. Keto chips from BE KETO contain just 4.3-5.9g of carbohydrates per packet! In addition, the product is rich in protein content, providing as much as 12-13.4g of the macronutrient per packet, depending on the flavour version. The fact that the same serving of classic crisps contains just 1.5g of protein makes them even more attractive and worth including in your diet. In addition, a packet of keto crisps provides as much as 4.8g of fibre, promoting proper digestive function and a feeling of satiety. Not to forget the product's low calorie content - an entire packet of snacks provides less than 110 kcal! This makes keto chips an excellent choice for those trying to lose weight while still wanting to keep a satisfying-tasting salty snack in their diet. It's also worth noting that keto chips are a gluten-free product, making them a suitable snack for those suffering from gluten intolerance.
Is it okay to eat chips on keto?
When it comes to traditional chips, which are high in carbohydrates, the answer is clearly - you can't.However, there are alternative products specifically designed for the ketogenic diet that are a great replacement for traditional, high-carbohydrate chips and allow you to enjoy the taste of a snack without breaking the rules of the ketogenic diet. These are Keto Chips from BEKETO, available in several flavours, which you can incorporate into your menu without worrying about precipitating ketosis. Another option is to make your own homemade keto chips.
How does a homemade keto chips recipe look like?
One solution so that when you're on a ketogenic diet you don't have to give up chips is to prepare a homemade version, based on low-carbohydrate ingredients. With homemade keto chips, you don't have to give up your favourite snack! Alternatives you can prepare at home include:
- keto cheese chips - you prepare these from any type of sliced yellow cheese by cutting it into smaller pieces, optionally seasoning and placing them in the oven for a few minutes.
- keto chips with salami - to prepare these, simply cut the salami into thin slices and drop them into a saucepan with hot oil. Then turn out onto paper to drain the fat and season as you prefer.
- keto celery chips - this is a far less calorific alternative to crisps, which you prepare by washing the celery, peeling and cutting it into thin slices and drizzling with oil. Then simply turn them out onto baking paper and bake them in the oven.
- Keto broccoli chips - to make these, follow the same steps as for the keto celery chips. Optionally, you can sprinkle them with cheese before putting them in the oven.
Homemade keto chips are a great and diet-compliant snack, but undoubtedly, they don't satisfy the palate in the same way as ready-made Keto Chips, which, thanks to careful work and lots of testing to get the best possible flavour, don't fall short of, and in fact can confidently rival, traditional chips.
