If you love baking and cooking you will know that there are a few things that are different in a low carb kitchen. For one, xylitol is grainy and for fine biscuits and desserts, icing sugar would be a better option. The problem with that sentence is the “S” word! But wait, your prayers have been answered because we've created Xylitol “Icing” which works a treat for your desserts, and, well, treats!
Ingredients:
Powdered Xylitol
P.S. Xylitol, while perfectly harmless to humans, is actually toxic to dogs, so please be cautious when using this sweetener around them. And don't give them a taste of your low carb chocolate brownie like you normally would!
Coconut oil has so many benefits and uses. It is one of the best sources of saturated fat (the good kind). Coconut oil contains Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) which have been shown to increase overall energy expenditure by up to 5% in a day.
You can use coconut oil to cook with, in baking, and even a tablespoon just as is will quickly put those hunger pangs at bay. Some alternate uses are as a moisturiser for your hair and skin, and some people even give their pets a dollop for a shiny coat!
