The granola with the lowest sugar levels on the market is already among us. Ketonola is a mixture of nuts, seeds and chocolates that try to adapt to the demands of the keto diet.
Until now, the La Newyorkina brand has opted for a sugar-free granola (“Zero Sugar”), which is now joined by this revolutionary launch. The Ketonola, a Keto granola in which they have been working for a long time and which is a very important implementation for the range. This new version meets the dietary requirements of people who follow a paleo, keto and ketogenic eating model.
These granola are made in a workshop in Oviedo (Asturias), following a careful manufacturing process in which the best raw material is used so that the result is excellent.

The ingredients list is: ” grated coconut, soluble tapioca fiber, almonds, erythritol, extra virgin coconut oil, walnuts, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, sesame seeds, 100% cocoa nibs, hemp protein and salt. Himalayan rose “.

Is it a good product for keto diet?
The main source of saturated fat comes from grated coconut. Although there is a bad reputation about fat consumption, there should be no problem with taking it from healthy foods. However, just because something is good in moderate amounts does not imply that it is still beneficial if we take it in excess. Keep in mind that this Ketonola has a high caloric intake, despite the fact that its ingredients are recommended in a varied diet.
Hemp protein is widely consumed by vegan athletes, as it contains all the essential amino acids and provides magnesium and iron. It is also rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and has various antioxidant effects. Plus, it’s a good source of fiber that animal-based proteins typically don’t have, although this keto granola also contains soluble tapioca fiber . Tapioca is a starch extracted from cassava, and is often used in many types of products such as protein bars, cereals, and beverages.
Being a very nutritionally dense granola, it is recommended to reduce the amount eaten. Although we can normally have about 50 grams of cereals for breakfast, it is convenient to control the added calories with Ketonola.
