Are cranberries keto-friendly to eat?

While cranberries are naturally higher in carbs compared to other berries, they can still be enjoyed in moderation on a keto diet. In small amounts, like those used in this Keto Cranberry Orange Bread, they add a delightful burst of flavor without spiking your carb count. Be mindful of portion sizes and always opt for fresh or unsweetened cranberries to keep your recipe keto-compliant.

What are the cons of keto bread?

Keto bread, like our zesty cranberry orange version, tends to have a different texture compared to traditional bread due to the lack of gluten. Some people might find it less fluffy or slightly denser. Additionally, keto breads often contain higher amounts of fiber, which might be an adjustment for your digestive system. Experiment with different recipes to find the texture and flavor you enjoy most.

How many slices of keto bread can I eat per day?

Typically, you can enjoy a couple of slices daily, depending on your overall carb intake and health goals. Our Keto Cranberry Orange Bread has only 3g net carbs per slice, making it a great option for breakfast or a snack. Listen to your body and adjust according to how you feel and your daily carb allowance. Moderation is key to maintaining a balanced keto lifestyle.

Can keto bread upset your stomach?

Some people might experience digestive changes when they first incorporate keto bread into their diet, largely due to the high fiber content. If you're new to keto or low-carb eating, introduce it slowly to see how your body reacts. Stay hydrated and give your body time to adjust. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a healthcare professional to ensure you're getting the right balance of nutrients.
