PROTEIN—KEEPS YOU FULLER LONGER One key difference between Keto Fit (see page 46) and Keto Meal is that Keto Meal has a larger serving of protein coming in at 16g per serving versus 10g in Keto Fit. This larger amount of protein is designed to keep you feeling full for a longer period of time as it is intended to be consumed as a meal, while staying within the ketogenic guidelines of 70/23/7. Also, remember that Keto Meal is a caffeine-free meal replacement that may be enjoyed at any time of the day. This also makes it ideal for those who are constantly on-the-go or travel often and need to replace at least one or more meals per day. PROBIOTICS AND FIBER We are believers that good digestive health is the key to well-being. This is why we rounded out our Keto Meal with 1.5 Billion CFU of Lactobacillus plantarum probiotics. This hardy strain has numerous health benefits and provides an effective dose of probiotics to assist with digestion and assimilation of nutrients in the product. Often, people following a ketogenic diet complain about constipation. This can be because they increase their fat intake and cut out most carbs and forget to include lots of low-carb fibrous veggies for fiber and minerals. Keto Meal has you covered with 4 grams of prebiotic fiber from Organic Acacia. Dr. Perlmutter is a huge advocate of consuming prebiotics to feed the probiotics and help build a healthy microbiome. With 4g out of the 5g of carbohydrates coming from fiber, this means our Keto Meal has only 1 gram of net carbs! CERTIFICATIONS AND TASTE MATTER Along with being Keto Certified and Certified Paleo Friendly, Keto Meal is Certified Truly Grass Fed and Non-GMO Project Verified. This ensures there are no genetically modified ingredients as rigorous steps are taken to test all plant and animal materials. Animal feed is also audited to check for GMOs. Keto Meal is also Certified by NSF as Gluten Free. Dr. Formulated Keto Meal comes in two delicious organic flavors, vanilla and chocolate Not only wonderful in shakes and smoothies, Keto Meal can be used for baking.
