  • It is not all butter and cream, but butter and cream are high in fat and are likely to be a part of many PKT recipes. Other sources of fat include cooking oil (canola oil), mayonnaise, salad dressings, and KetoCuisine. KetoCuisine is a flour-like Keto product that is great for making desserts, biscuits, and pancakes.
  • These sources of fat are versatile and can be incorporated into your child’s meals by simple cooking and mixing.
Trick - Different ways of using cream!

Different ways of using cream

[ultimate_spacer height=”10″]

  • Cream is a source of fat that is versatile and can easily be changed using the same recipe.
    • Add water to cream and serve it as “milk”.
    • Add up to one serving of sugar-free flavoring to change the taste of cream. DaVinci and Torani are sugar-free syrups that come in multiple flavors.
    • Whip cream with a fork or hand blender until it thickens. You can add up to one serving of MiO flavor enhancer as you whip the cream to form a pudding-like consistency.
    • Whipped cream can be placed in the freezer to create a quick sweet treat like ice cream.
Tip - Save time preparing meals

Save time preparing meals

[ultimate_spacer height=”10″]

  • Prepare multiple meals at a time. It is good to find a time during each day to prepare all your meals for that day or for the next day.
  • Label each container, so you can grab and go.
  • Have a grocery list ready each week before you go to the store, keeping the meals you plan to prepare in mind. This will save you multiple trips to the store.
