Satisfying a sweet tooth in a way that's compliant with the strict rules of the ketogentic diet can be a challenge but not with pre-prepared snacks like keto donuts from The Elite Donut. These keto-friendly donuts are available in varieties like Cinnamon Sugar, Chocolate and Birthday Cake and they boast up to 13 grams of protein with as few as one gram of net carbs.
Created as anytime treats, the keto donuts are gluten-free, soy-free and guilt-free, thanks to the fact that they're made with ingredients like almond flour and whole eggs.
Although the donuts are perfectly portioned for on-the-go snacking, the brand recommends heating them in the microwave before serving for a taste of that warm, fresh-out-of-the-oven experience.
