Almond Flour:  An excellent gluten free option that is low in carbohydrates and high in fiber and protein.

Himalayan Salt:  One of the cleanest salts you can find. As opposed to conventional table salt that is heavily processed which removes its beneficial minerals.

Pasture-Raised Eggs:  They boost cognitive function and help neural processing within the brain.  Twice as many omega 3 fatty acids and three times more vitamin E than caged chicken eggs.

Heavy Whipping Cream, Cream Cheese and Cheddar:  The high fat and low sugar content makes these ingredients an EXCELLENT Ketogenic choice.

Bacon:  A source of choline, which is important for liver function, brain development, nerve function and muscle movement.
