NOT Keto/ diabetic friendly!!!
I have been on keto for a year and six months now and was so excited to receive this until it got here and I read the ingredients. Unfortunately at the time of ordering this, the ingredient list was not available. Like many others, I assumed that it was pure coconut milk powder. It’s not. This contains “Organic maltodextrin”. Organic maltodextrin or not, it has maltodextrin. Like another reviewer, I was unable determine if the maltodextrin source is corn, tapioca, potato, or wheat.<br /><br />Evidence has shown that maltodextrin can affect the balance of gut bacteria, which play an very important role in people's health. Maltodextrin has an even higher glycemic index than regular table sugar. Meaning that maltodextrin can cause a sharp increase/ spike in people's blood sugar shortly after they eat foods that contain it. This is not good for those with diabetes or someone who is doing the keto diet or sugar free diet.<br /><br />HOWEVER, my fiancé eating habits are much different than mine so he was happy to try it and stated that the taste was pretty good & he seams to enjoy it. For that, I’ll give it 2 stars. He has been using it in his coffee successfully. He was unsuccessful with mixing it in cold water. It will clump if not mixed into hot water.<br /><br />I will not be reordering. I definitely think the manufacture should choose a different natural sweetener if ever planning to market this to the keto, diabetic or low-carb community.
