Notes

Protein Powder – Feel free to use about ½ cup of your preferred protein powder of choice for this recipe, but please note it will change the nutrition facts drastically as protein powders and meal mixes vary from brand to brand. I use Keto Chow because it’s more than a protein powder, it’s a keto meal mix that provides more nutrition than just protein.

Electrolyte Drink Mix - Use whatever brand you like, I used Saltt because it has no sugar or hidden junk in it, plus they have a Cocoa flavor which pairs nicely with the chocolate protein powder. The sweet and salty mix is so good!

Sweeteners – Use what works best for your lifestyle. I typically use Monk fruit or allulose-based sweeteners because they are natural and do not affect blood sugar. For this recipe, I used the Besti brand Zero Sugar Honey Substitute. You can also use the one from the Swerve brand. I recommend using some sort of “brown” type sweetener for the caramel flavor.

Nutrition and carbs – Be aware that some recipe blogs omit sugar alcohols or allulose from the nutrition calculation since it does not affect blood sugar. For transparency, I have included it and calculated the net carbs below. Always use a carb counter app like Cronometer according to the brands you use in order to get accurate nutrition information. Toppings are not calculated in the final total.
