Fight Flavor Fatigue- Spice Up Your KetoCal!

Moms, dads and other caregivers know that kids often change their minds, especially when it comes to foods and flavors. We all have our favorites but a little variety can help to prevent flavor fatigue, which can be a challenge for maintaining a special diet. Did you know that you can easily switch up the flavor of your child’s KetoCal by adding sugar-free, carb-free flavorings?

There are several brands* to choose from, including DaVinci Gourmet®’s Sugar-free Syrups (which use sucralose) or SweetLeaf®’s Sweet Drops™ (which use Stevia®).   From Double Chocolate to Strawberry to Cookie Dough, there are a variety of flavors to keep meal time fun each day of the week. The flavorings can be added to KetoCal 4:1 LQ Unflavored or Vanilla (which blends nicely with other flavors).

If you have not used carb-free flavorings before, be sure to check with your health care professional to ensure that they are appropriate for your child’s diet.

How do you spice up your little one’s KetoCal?

Ket-O’Cal St. Paddy’s Day Milkshake!

Ket-O'Cal ShakeSt. Patrick’s Day is tomorrow and what better way to celebrate than with a minty, green Ket-O’Cal milkshake! You can make your keto kid his/her very own shamrock shake with a few simple ingredients:

  • KetoCal 4:1 LQ Unflavored (Vanilla would work too if that’s what you have at home)
  • Carb-free peppermint paddy-flavored syrup (such as DaVinci Gourmet®’s Sugar-free Peppermint Paddy Syrup)
  • Ice cubes

Add the flavored syrup to your KetoCal LQ to reach your desired level of minty chocolate goodness, then add it to your blender with some ice. Blend until smooth, pour, and enjoy!

Optional: Top your Ket-O’Cal shake with homemade whipped cream (whipped heavy cream with artificial, carb-free sweetener) and green “keto sprinkles” (granulated stevia mixed with a touch of green food coloring).

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
