KETO PEANUT BUTTER:

ERYTHRITOL POWDER:
- Erythritol powder naturally sweetens the mixture without raising blood sugar levels. It has a mild, sweet flavor.
BANANA EXTRACT:
- It provides the real taste of bananas in these cups without the additional carbs content. A tiny bit gives the peanut butter foundation depth and scent.
VANILLA ESSENCE:
- Vanilla essence balances the richness of peanut butter and improves the flavor of the dessert as a whole. It also lessens the yogurt’s tartness.
COCONUT OIL:
- Melted coconut oil gives the cups a smoother texture and helps them solidify in the freezer. They remain creamy and gratifying because of this good fat.
