That’s a terribly misleading article as far as keto is concerned. Citrus defender and honey mint tea? Not keto, just to name a couple.Outdated sugar free syrup options. Should probably mention that iced coffee come sweetened unless specified. Actually, just scrap this.
Agreed! I was shocked to see those tea drinks listed as keto!
