KETO COCONUT SHREDS:
- Unsweetened coconut shreds add gentle chewiness and a tropical taste. It balances the silky chia pudding base by adding texture. Always select unsweetened in order to remain keto-friendly.
LIME JUICE:
- Lime juice cuts the richness of the coconut with the tangy sharpness of fresh lime juice. Utilize freshly squeezed for the most intense flavor. Juice in bottles might taste bland and be less fresh.
LIME ZEST:
- Lime zest improves the flavor of the lime and provides a sweet citrus scent. It adds a zesty zing to the bars without adding extra carbohydrates. Use a fine grater for optimal results.
KETO SWEETENER:
- Keto sweetener provides the dessert-like sweetness without the added sugar. Stevia mixes, Erythritol, and monk fruit are good choices. Change the sweetness to suit your tastes.

- It provides the warm and hint of sweet taste. Additionally, it balances out the coconut flavor, giving the bars a more well-rounded flavor. Select pure extract for optimal effects.
