Can we have green beans on keto? I did see them on the list. I am new to keto.
Yes, we talk about them here.
I do not have brown swerve can I use regular swerve?
I typically use them interchangeably, but I can’t say I’ve done it on this recipe. Let us know how it works out for you, ladieyvon!
Is the xathan gum a must?
Xanthan Gum is not required. It’s just a thickener so your sauce may be thin.
