Following a low carb keto diet can be tricky at this time of year. Particularly if you’ve recently started or are still trying to find your feet counting carbs and staying in ketosis.
If you're not a low carb keto family like ours, it can be handy to have substitute products ready to go. So, here are twelve things for a keto Christmas to keep you on track with a low carb keto journey! Because let’s be honest, it's Christmas, and no one should miss out!
1. Christmas truffles on the menu? Swap them out for Locako Rum Balls!
Limited edition and just in time for the festive season, Locako's Rum Balls will be your go-to this Christmas. With the taste of Christmas, without the carbs and calories, these balls have the best combination of collagen, healthy nuts, and pre/probiotics to make them perfect for a Christmas treat! Once you try these, you won't want to go back!
2. Love a Christmas cake?

3. It's not Christmas without chocolate-covered strawberries, right? Swap it out for Callowfit Chocolate Sauce!
Christmas brings out all the sweet treats, and with summer in full swing, why not make the most of the fresh fruits and berries on offer? A family favourite and a hit with the kids, chocolate covered strawberries are a must-have at the Christmas table. To make it low carb and keto friendly, simply substitute the chocolate for CallowFit Chocolate Sauce. This sugar-free, lactose-free, and gluten-free option is seriously YUM, and you can use it on pancakes and waffles too!
4. Cranberry Sauce, anyone?
It couldn't possibly be Christmas without cranberry sauce! Luckily no one is missing out this year, thanks to Jok N Al Cranberry Sauce. As a keto alternative to traditional cranberry sauces which are often high in sugar, this low calorie, low carb option contains less than 10% sugar, with the same fruitful rich taste!
5. Champagne breakfast but can't eat the croissants? Well, now you can, just substitute them for Feeling Ok!
With only 4g of carbs per croissant, these are so good you'll forget they are even low carb! The Feeling Ok range makes eating keto easy, with a fantastic range of croissants. Their low carb options make superb bread and cracker substitutes so that you can enjoy the festive season without worry!

8. Dessert can't happen without the custard. Try swapping it out for a SNAXX alternative.
Custard always goes down a treat at Christmas, but that doesn't mean you have to go without. SNAXX is a keto-friendly, low carb, gluten-free and high protein alternative that's quick, easy, and so delicious too! With only 1.2g of carbs per serving, just add cream and butter for a vanilla hit to complement any dessert!
