Keto Walnuts

Goodie2shoes — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 23:34:45 GMT

I have been buying Nutrail Keto Walnuts for over a year and I order them thru Amazon usually 4-5 bags per order. They are awesome and net 1 carb. The company has stopped making them and will also stop making the Keto pecans which I just recently tried from the same company and very good but Nutrail is also discontinuing them as well. I am devistated !!

So my question here is: Has anyone here tried the Nutrail nuts and if you are a Keto walnut consumer are there any other brands that you can recommend that are as good as (if you are familiar with Nutrail nuts) or better than the Nutrail brand ? You can no longer buy them on amazon. they have the pecans but will soon stop selling them as well. I have spoke with the Nutrail CS dept who advised me of the changes and says they are working on a new selection.

i'm confused. i just googled carbs in walnuts. there are only 2 net carbs in 1/4 cup walnuts. so what is different/special about these ones that you purchase?

Sorry for the confusion. They are cinnamon flavored walnuts and pecans and they are sooo good !! They have definitely helped me to keep my BS down because I snack on them during the day so my carb count does not go overboard

@Goodie2shoes You should just make your own. It's so easy. Lots of recipes online.

@Goodie2shoes Also wanted to add if you can't make your own Trader Joe's has these and they are OMG good!
They may be seasonal though and probably not keto.

Thanks, I have a recipe from online and I made a couple of batches, pretty simple and they were ok but they just don't taste as good as the Nutrail Cinnamon glazed Walnuts ! I'm addicted !! Thanks for the recommendation and I might have to try a few more recipes hoping to get at least close to the same flavor

@Goodie2shoes I make my own keto glazed pecans. I'm sure the method is the same with walnuts. It's easy. There are recipes on the internet or I can find mine, if you would like it.

You're correct, they aren't keto. They're made with sugar and cruddy oil.

If you wouldn't mind, I would love your recipe! Prefer a tried and loved recipe over chancing it online.

No rush.

The Nu Trail Keto Walnuts, @wagirl? The main goal of keto is to keep insulin low and consistent. Carbs demand insulin. Sugar has a high glycemic index and demands a lot of insulin. The carb counts can vary in nuts, so one needs to be mindful of that. Walnuts are on the low end carb wise, so they're good besides other benefits they offer. Traditionally, glazed or candied nuts are sweetened with sugar. The Nu Trail nuts are sweetened with a combination of monk fruit and erythritol. These sweeteners have a low glycemic index so they won't cause huge insulin spikes.

@JeanLouiseFinch, thanks for posting that. I (also a senior) have been on a keto plan for almost 3 years and am the healthiest (and thinnest) I have ever been. I know a lot of people will go on and on about how unhealthy it is and how it is not something people can sustain, but I whole-heartedly disagree.

@JeanLouiseFinch

thank you SO much for taking the time to share/post! Really appreciate it.

Question: is the sugar sub listed in the recipe a liquid or crystal?

I have the RX crystal and liquid and wondered which to use.

The Keto friendly items are not too friendly to my pocketbook though! LOL

Thanks again...appreciate your help.

@RespectLife It's granulated. It's up to the user if they want white or brown. I think your Rx granulated (crystal) should work fine. LMK how it turns out using it.

@Goodie2shoes If you can't find them why not try making them yourself?

Get some cinnamon and sprinkle it on. Make sure you get the Ceylon cinnamon which is supposed to be the healthiest.

If just sprinkling it on isn't satisfactory, maybe you can make a mixture of the cinnamon, butter (grass fed) and some sweetener like monkfruit. Mix the together and sprinkle on the nuts then bake them for 10-15 minutes.

I'm sure that would be delicious and low carb.
