It is easy to question the safeness of peanut butter as a keto-friendly meal because of how much other ingredients goes into some of the store-bought brands. You’d easily find a “natural peanut butter” brand on the shelf containing artificial sweeteners and flavors or even colors that makes it look more appealing.
So, is peanut butter keto friendly?
Absolutely, but in moderation! Unless you are allergic to peanuts, then an all-natural peanut butter is considered a relatively safe food when on the ketogenic diet. According to a credible Health and Keto website, menshealth.com, Shiffer (2019) claimed that, “Peanut butter can be part of a Keto diet since it contains mostly fats and protein with very little carbohydrates.”
