These keto-friendly desserts with monk fruit are just as delicious and provide a balanced macronutrient profile while keeping carb content low to align with a low carb or Paleo or Keto type diet.

Most diets don’t recommend eating high levels of fat or sugar at night-time. These healthier alternatives can help you reduce that damage done by eating sweets and fats at night and help you step down from night-time eating.

One tip I give to before bed ice cream or cookies eaters…. why not eat your dessert in the morning instead? You have all day to burn off the carbs and your stomach handles it better in the morning. Give you something to look forward to in the morning…. Any of these recipes would be yummy for breakfast!!!
