Is shredded coconut OK on keto?
Yes! Unsweetened shredded coconut is ketogenic, keto-friendly, and keto-approved.
How do you store coconut macaroons?
Coconut macaroons can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
If keto coconut macaroons are difficult to form, try refrigerating them before serving or adding a small amount of water.
Is agave nectar keto friendly?
Agave nectar can be keto-friendly, depending on the one you use. We used the Nectevia Stevia Infused Agave for this recipe, but you definitely want to be wary of the amount you use, since keto desserts and keto recipes typically contain a minimal amount of sugar.
