Keto Dieters Have Mixed Feelings About Costco's Chocolate Coconut Trail Mix
If you want to start a keto diet, you have your work cut out for you. According to Healthline, anyone looking to embark on this weightloss journey has to abstain from as many carbs as possible, while increasing their daily fat intake. These factors combine together to put your body into a state of ketosis, helping you burn off calories. As expected, this lifestyle change requires some extreme dietary modifications. Luckily, nuts come to our rescue and provide a salty, crunchy treat that won't interfere with our eating plan (via Healthline).
While nuts can keep us moving through the day, not all of them serve up the same great taste. Instagram user @costco_doesitagain discovered this fact the hard way in one of their recent posts, highlighting Costco's new keto trail mix. The post, featuring a photo of several jars of the snack, came with the caption, "#KETO dark chocolate and coconut trail mix $13.99" and has since garnered almost 2,500 likes. Despite the attention, some keto fans don't feel too passionately about the nuts, replying with comments like, "I'll have to look for it! But it's pretty high carb for keto," and "everything Keto we have tried from Costco tastes like packing peanuts." Others loved the product, chiming in with replies like, "This is so good. I was bummed out when I couldn't find it at my Costco again," and "I'm a chocoholic. Need I say more."
