Keto crisps: where to buy in the UK
I wanted to share with you my favourite brand of Keto crisps. Keto crisps are hard to come by in the UK – there are substitutes, such as pork scratchings and Cheesies but sometimes you just want a crisp. A few weeks ago I discovered the MyProtein Protein Crisps. Wow! I am obsessed.

I slightly prefer the Barbecue flavour but they are both delicious. Obviously, being low carb, they aren’t made of potatoes, but they…

It becomes much easier to…

After an extensive search, checking over a dozen online shops, I have found that the…
