Salted Caramel Cheesecake Dip! High Protein and Fiber, Zero Sugar!

My mom and I have a yearly tradition of going to the apple orchard to pick apples. I love apples but when you have a ton (okay, just a peck), you might want to get creative with your apple snacking!



That's where Salted Caramel Cheesecake Dip comes in!

It sounds decadent (it is) but it's also:
  • super easy - it comes together in minutes
  • fiber
  • protein
  • no added sugar

Ingredients:

  • 4 oz cream cheese (I used fat free)
  • 1/2 tsp caramel flavoring
  • 1 tbsp Vitafiber IMO syrup
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (I used Sukrin icing sweetener, measures 1:1 to powdered sugar)
  • sea salt to taste

Directions

  1. Bring the cream cheese to room temperature. In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, caramel flavor, and powdered sweetener. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. 
  2. Add the fiber syrup and continue to beat. 
  3. Add sea salt, you may sprinkle on top or stir it in. 
  4. Enjoy!
This dip would also be delicious with pretzels or strawberries or just on it's own! 

Makes 4 servings. Macros per serving: 69 cal 0f/11c/8p  (2.3 g fiber)

Do you have any fun fall traditions?

Gut Healthy Gummy Bears! Keto Friendly

Image
Team Sour or Team Sweet? I'm team sour all the way! These gummies are surprisingly easy to make if you have a gummy bear mold (they're very inexpensive on amazon!) and they have the gut-health benefits of prebiotic fiber and gelatin! First they're sour, then they're sweet. Ingredients: 40g VitaFiber IMO syrup  1 tbsp gelatin liquid stevia to taste (I used orange stevia) 1/2 cup water Directions: Heat the mixture on the stove until bubbling.  Use the dropper to fill the gummy bear molds.  Place in fridge until set.  Just before eating, toss the gummy bears in a mixture of citric acid powder, and granulated sweetener of choice (I used a monk fruit/erythritol blend).  Voila! Sour gummies!

Keto Meringues! Sugar Free!

Image
I recently had the idea to make Meringue cookies and my curiosity was piqued at the idea of making sugar free meringue cookies. I wondered if it would work!  3 calories a piece?! I'll take 10!  I took to Google, and to my surprise there were recipes with Splenda, erythritol, stevia and beyond! I decided to try my hand at sugar free meringues with an erythritol based sweetener I just purchased recently. The brand is Swerve and I purchased it from Luckyvitamin.com. It claims to have no aftertaste! Meringues can be a bit tricky to set up due to humidity and given that it was a hot August day in North Carolina, I think they turned out pretty well! The texture was good on most of them but a few of them were still a bit soft in the middle.  Factors working against me: I didn't have enough egg whites I didn't have cream of tartar I was attempting sugar free I didn't have parchment paper Humidity You may be thinking, why even bother? Well, I don...
