Ketogenics Low Carb Buttermilk Pancake Mix

The pancake mix is listed as containing the following ingredients: Ultrafiltrated Whey Protein Concentrate, Soy Protein Isolate, Whole Eggs, Polydextrose, Whole Cream, Soy Fiber, Guar Gum, Monocalcium Phosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Salt, Natural Buttermilk Flavor and the artificial sweetener, Sucralose.

One serving of the pancake mix is said to equal one pancake. Each 16-gram serving consists of 63 calories, 12 of which are from fat, 32 milligrams of cholesterol, 8 grams of protein, 5 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fat, 136 milligrams of sodium, 2 grams of dietary fiber and 1 gram of sugar.

We are unable to determine if the product’s benefits outweigh the risks. Considering that a normal adult would typically consume three pancakes, that would add up to about 96 milligrams of cholesterol and 408 milligrams of Sodium. On the flip side, it would be about 190 calories, 24 grams of protein and 6 grams of dietary fiber.

We also feel it is important to consider the presence of Sucralose and the long-term effects of consuming artificial sweeteners. The product does not appear to be high in vitamins or minerals, although it does have 4 grams of Polydextrose. Each serving also provides 5% of the daily value in Calcium and 3% in Iron.

We find the company’s website to be an overall pleasant experience. Not only do we find product information and easy access to customer service, visitors may also find literature on carbohydrates and low carb diets. Consumers may purchase directly from the manufacturer or locate a local retailer.

We find the product information pages could use some more work, especially the one belonging to the pancake mix. It appears that pertinent information is limited to nutrition facts and ingredients and a few sentences of product descriptions. At time of review, the pancake mix is on the website’s “monthly specials” list at more than 50% off list price.

• Relatively high in protein
• Low in carbohydrates

• Moderate to high amounts of cholesterol
• Relatively high in sodium
• Contains Sucralose, an artificial sweetener
• May need to take supplements for optimal results

Ketogenics Low Carb Buttermilk Pancake Mix is said to be a great option for low-carb dieters or athletes requiring hearty, yet healthy meals. We find that the pancakes are high in protein and dietary fiber, low in fat and calories, and high in cholesterol and sodium. The use of the artificial sweetener Sucralose may be something to keep an eye on.

We conclude that the pancake product may make sense for some consumers, while it may not be an ideal choice for others. Athletes, for instance, may not be as concerned with the cholesterol content, since they tend to be very active. Supplements may have to be taken in conjunction with the product in order to get the right nutrients and weight management properties. There are supplements and other products on the market that use patented ingredients and may better assist consumers with their health and fitness goals.
