Notes
Don't let that g Total Carb number scare you! Roughly g of that comes from the Allulose. Since the body doesn't metabolize Allulose like regular sugar, your Net Carb impact is only about g. You get all the sweetness and the perfect texture without the insulin spike that stalls your progress!
Recipe Note: The nutrition facts for this recipe card are based on the Chocolate version. For those enjoying the Vanillabase, use the table above. By subtracting the Allulose—which has a near-zero glycemic impact—you are left with less than gram of Net Carbs per serving!
