Hi, I’m needing (smile) to make these smoothies. What would you suggest if I don’t have espresso powder? Should I wait until I buy some? Thanks very much for your great recipes!

I’m sorry, but Monkfruit sweetener has 6 carbs per tsp. Where is all that fiber that you canceled out the carbs with coming from?

  No, Lakanto’s monk fruit sweetener contains 4g total carbs per serving (0g net carbs per serving). The fiber listed in the nutrition label includes the total fiber content and sugar alcohols of the ingredients.

  Heavy cream, monk fruit sweetener (amounts to 0g net carbs), cocoa powder, espresso powder. Every ingredient aside from salt, water, and ice cubes in this recipe contains carbs.
