These make a perfect snack or breakfast if you can’t eat much in the morning. They contain a satiating combination of protein, good fats and fibre. Not only will they help you feel full but also keep blood sugar in check, providing stable energy. Unless you should avoid high fibre foods, they are great for anyone - not just those who are on the ketogenic diet.
