While there are plenty of prepackaged products available to consumers who are following a ketogenic diet, Keto Bark was recently launched as a new option from ChocZero that will help to satisfy one's sweet tooth.
The artisanal Keto Bark is offered in both 100% stone ground milk and dark chocolate varieties, which are paired with different kinds of nuts like hazelnuts and almonds, as well as coconut. The free-from product is made without gluten, soy and sugar alcohol and features monk fruit as a zero-calorie sweetener that's also low in carbs.
In the all-natural Keto Bark flavors that are made using cocoa beans, ChocZero favors ethically sourced beans from South America, as well as vanilla from Madagascar.
