    Is Chili Keto friendly?

    No. Chili is made with loads of Beans and Tomato sauce so its not Keto. Did you know that Beans are full of carbs and not Keto friendly!

    Also to make it even healthy and low carb, I have used my Keto Ketchup. Its the perfect alternative to Tomato sauce which is traditionally used in Chili.

    Also its Low Carb, made without using refined sugar and just so healthy!
