If you’ve been dreaming about a recipe book that delivers sugar-free, low-carb
desserts that taste great AND allow you to stick to your grain-free Paleo diet, your
dreams just came true! Keto Sweets is the second dessert cookbook by Nutritional
Therapist Kelsey Ale.
She got the idea to create this book when she saw the growing number of people
who were turning to the keto diet to transform their health. She also wanted to be
able to offer a book to the dozens of people reaching out to her asking for more
diabetic-friendly dessert recipes.
And so Keto Sweets was born - it’s the perfect cookbook for you or your loved ones
who want to balance their blood sugar and shed excess fat while still having their
cake and eating it, too!
Within the pages of Keto Sweets you’ll find a dessert recipe to satisfy any craving -
from Peppermint Brownies to Vanilla Cake with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting to
White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies to Chocolate Ice Cream - Keto Sweets
has it all. And every recipe you’ll find here is completely grain-free and low-carb,
and most can be made completely dairy-free, too! So you can stay on track with fat
loss without giving up your grain-free Paleo diet.
Kelsey hopes that you and the people you love will enjoy Keto Sweets as much as
she enjoyed creating it for you.
