Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb: Meet our Keto-Friendly range

Over the last decade, there has been a multitude of exciting new diets and healthy eating plans designed to help you lose those extra pounds, one of the most intriguing being the Keto Diet. The Keto Diet works by reducing carbohydrates from your diet to place the body in a state of ketosis; once in this state, the body will begin to burn fat reserves to create energy, burning body fat quicker.

What’s on the menu?

At exante, we have a full range of products that are low in carbohydrates and can be enjoyed as part of a keto-friendly diet.

For a diet to be classified as ‘keto’, it should have no more than 50g of carbohydrates a day. Luckily, at exante we have a full range of products that span from 5g-15g of carbs per serving, perfect for that keto-friendly fix!

Make a meal of it

That’s right, you can get your hands on low-carb, keto friendly meal replacements, including:

JUICED

Are you bored of the same shakes? Why not try our world’s first clear whey meal replacement shake, JUICED? Made with less than 15g of carbohydrates per serving, prebiotics for a healthy gut (1), 27 vitamins & minerals and REAL fruit, JUICED is a great way to- literally- shake up your keto meals.

Fancy trying keto? Here’s some inspiration for a day of low-carb living

The meal plan we have here will come out at around 1400-1800 calories, but you can easily swap out the meals for a shake or alternative meal replacement to fit in with either the 800 or 1200 calorie plan.

Breakfast

Don’t talk to us before we have our morning coffee- seriously. Why not sweeten up your morning with our tasty vanilla flavour drops?

Making a filling, keto-friendly breakfast can be difficult, especially with most of us usually being on-the-go in the morning, that’s why we love to opt for a keto-friendly meal replacement shake. Whether you prefer a citrus shake like Orange & Blood Orange JUICED or a tropical sensation like Peach & Mango JUICED, they’re a fabulous quick and easy, low carb breakfast.

Lunch

Again, most of us tend to be pretty busy at lunchtime, so it may be easier to grab another shake to enjoy between meetings and errands.

If you have a little more time to play with, we suggest making a low-carb meal that’ll keep you full. One of our favourite recipes is low-carb ham & cheese on toast. Opt for low-carb protein bread and lean ham for that extra keto-friendly touch.

We’d suggest pairing your low-carb keto meal with a refreshing glass of BURST to help get those energy levels back up (3) and to fill up on vitamins and minerals.

Dinner

After a long, hard day it’s always nice to take some time to look after yourself. Whether it’s enjoying another shake and relaxing on the sofa or making a keto-friendly meal, it’s important to take some time for you.

If you’re thinking of making a keto-friendly meal, why not try a tasty cheese-stuffed aubergine? Whack in as many veggies as possible, season and top with cheese for the perfect low-carb end to the day.

Top Tip: Enjoy a glass of Slender Sip approximately 30 minutes before your meal so you’re satisfied all night!
