Bummed about not going apple picking this year, so decided to make my favorite apple pie low carb. Took some testing to get the filling right but it turned out awesome! Try it with some keto no churn ice cream, it will be next level! ua-cam.com/video/F9DhbF78Kik/v-deo.html
@@colorfulforesight yeah I've been on keto for a year and a half but last year the pandemic made it easier almost with not being able to do the normal get together and adventures. Feel like this year is harder with socializing again.
I cook my chayote squash in my electric pressure cooker. It only takes a couple minutes and it turns out perfect no too firm pieces. Love your recipes.
Hi Alicia! This pie is really delicious especially with your Caramel sauce! One thing I did that really made it taste more of apple is that I brewed some “TWINNINGS APPLE SPICE TEA” and used it with the butter instead of plain water! By the way, I’m 69 yrs young and have been cooking forever! I don’t share my secrets with just anyone! My husband thanks you for this Keto Apple Pie cause he’s a Diabetic! We’ve been doing Keto for 3 1/2 yrs now & this is something he treasures since Apples for him are a no no all the way around! Thanks for all your hard work to make our lives a lot sweeter👏❤️😋😋😋
Awesome! So glad you and your husband enjoyed it. I heard about that trick after I was done experimenting and shooting the video lol. Glad the addition came out well! Thank you for sharing, I always enjoy hearing other people's kitchen or baking tricks. Keep 'em comin' lol You are very welcome, I'm happy to help bring the sweets!
I cannot believe you don't have millions of followers, your videos are fantastic! Very informative, I told all my family about you! I love your videos!
That's so awesome, thank you so much!!!! People have been commenting they don't like my rambling. But I want people to have the best chance for their keto baked goods to come out great, hence all the rambling, lol.😉😋
the content may be fantastic....but audio quality is terrible. may be why not millions of followers....opening is a waste of our time. you need to consult with SERIOUS KETO he's been doing this for quite a while and is a good guy.
I just discovered you! I have tried a couple of your recipes already! They are all amazing so far 🤩 I’ve made the ice cream today with your keto condensed milk and your PSMF angel food cake. They are outstanding!!! (Husband approved) and around Christmas I made your tiramisu and it was also a hit. Thanks girl 😊 you deserved more subscribers!
I’m on a keto upgrade recipe kick… trying each recipe one by one. I have never found a recipe creator with literally hit after hit. I can’t wait until you have a cookbook. Your breads are amazing. Now I’m moving onto desserts. So I made this crust and crumble, I have 50 lbs of blueberries in my freezer so I used those as the filling mixed with some monk fruit and xanthum instead of squash, I find that berries in moderation don’t kick me out of ketosis at all, after being consistently on keto for a while. So this crust and crumble is literally the best I’ve ever tried on keto. I’ve been baking keto for so long, and was an avid baker before that so I have very high expectations of baked goods. I’m more than capable of enjoying keto foods that don’t taste like the original. But this recipe is spot on! The crust cooked golden, it was flakey and exactly like the texture and feel of a pie crust. The crumble actually got crunchy and again, texture and mouthfeel was spot on. I have never enjoyed a keto dessert that actually satisfied all aspects of what a dessert should do before trying this. My ridiculously picky husband didn’t like the taste of the whey protein in it, oddly enough, that taste went away after sitting in the fridge over night. I will try this recipe again with egg white protein powder for him, but that’s just because he’s picky. This crust opens up so many possibilities. This will be my go to pie recipe forever. I have so few keto forever recipes, but this makes it on that list with flying colors. I’ve been dying to have a quiche with a real crust. And a chicken pot pie. Not to mention all the sweet pie possibilities. I don’t know how you do it, but please don’t stop. I love every recipe I’ve tried, and I’m so excited to see what you come up with in the future!
So glad you are loving all the recipes, thank you so much for the awesome comment!! You are the people I want to reach, there has to be more avid bakers out there that are trying to get healthier but keep our delicious desserts!! My Goal in life!!! lol. So cool it will be your go to recipe!!! Makes me happy to hear I can help!! I won't stop, hopefully I can do this forever because I really enjoy it! 😊😀
Like your informative and matter-of-fact manner, with dollop of humor. A bit reminiscent of Sara Gilbert. Look forward to more of your videos. Bon chance!
Thanks!! I always identified with her the most on Roseanne as a kid and angsty teenager lol. Glad you are enjoying my videos!!!! Thanks for the awesome comment😊
Hello Alycia. I saw a lady on line , her site is: un thé à Montréal. She used turnip and apple essence to mimic the apples. The texture and taste according to her family is very good. I always enjoyed watching you. Wish you and your family all good
Wow! I made a cobbler with the squash and used "olive nation apple flavoring" but the crust has eluded me and the slice came out really clean like a real pie.
Made my first chayote pie this past Thanksgiving. I used keto focus rolled crust, and while it rolled great and was flaky and buttery, it was very bland. Can't wait to try this one.
Just found your channel and I made this last night. I put 4 coyote squash in a bowl of water placed two apple cinnamon tea bags to flavor into the squash after pealing them and leaving whole. Next time I will slice up and try it on the stove. Microwave took 17 min total 4 min at a time and after adding cinnamon to it it really tasted like apples. You will have to try it! I will try your recipe it looks perfect! Thank you
So funny you out this out today. I was going to use your puff pastry recipe to make a mini keto apple pie. My mom grew chayote, but she never ate the skin. The kind she grew had little stickers or something on them so the skin was always peeled and tossed. There's only two stores where I live that have them so I better grow some or just eat apple pie when I can find them. Thanks for the great recipes. They really help my sweet tooth.
Nice, love when that happens! Yeah I thought about peeling it after I already finished the video. Don't know why I didn't think about it before, it came out good still though, I'm sure peeling wouldn't hurt just more work, lol.
Thank you. I made a mock apple crumble using the chayotes but I peeled them, chopped and boiled in apple spice tea. The one I made didn’t have the bottom crust, next time I make it I will be using your recipe for the crust I will have to get some of the ingredients your recipe calls for. I have found cooking keto recipes I never have all the ingredients, I have a cabinet full of stuff I bought and only used once!!
You're Welcome. Sounds good! I hear ya, that's why I try to keep all my ingredients similar. I use oat fiber, unflavored whey protein, coconut flour and xanthan gum in a bunch of different recipes.
Hi Alisha! I've been watching you for a long time on my big screen tv in my room but never knew how to message you. I'm so happy you're a chef who loves sweets. I do too and have made many of your recipes. I've enjoyed each and every one of them and bought the ingredients for this pie to make it along with you. Can't wait to give it a try. Thanks for all your help.
I made this last night. I was really impressed with the texture of the “apples”. I think I cut mine slightly thinner, but they were perfect with just a slight bite. However, I decided to add apple tea as suggested by another recipe developer and it was a very bad decision. The crust also came out really soggy, not sure what went wrong there. My crumb topping also came out very wet and I was careful to follow the instructions as you commented about this exact thing, next time I will try 1/4 c of butter and adding more if needed. The crust was really easy to make, I like the idea of grating the butter. I can definitely see how it could be a really good “apple” pie, so will try again without the tea and some slight adaptions. Thank you so much for all the time you spend to create and share these recipes with us. Will report back after “apple” pie take 2.
@@KetoUpgrade Ugg! I’ve tried this recipe three times and something is off. There is a really weird taste. I use isopure whey protein, but I think that’s what’s causing the odd taste. On another note, I let the pie rest longer and that helped prevent the soggy crust and I refrained from adding extra ingredients the last two times, the apple mixture is to die for. This crust and crumble recipe is probably not for me, but I have loved all of your other recipes. Thanks AGAIN, and I hope you have a fantastic Christmas. Can’t wait for the recipes you have coming our way in the new year.
@@lanamcquown3063 sorry to hear you didn't like it, yeah you do have to let the pie cool before slicing. Luckily I have another pie crust on my channel for the pumpkin pie with cheese cake bottom, no whey protein. And the crumble is the one recipe that you can sub egg white powder for the whey, it gives an even crisper crumble. Thank you for enjoying the rest of the recipes! You are so welcome! I have so much planned for the new year, can't wait! It's gonna be a good year!
@@KetoUpgrade thank you so much for the egg white suggestion. I want to try your coffee cake and will experiment with it in that crumb recipe. I am so excited for what is to come. I still can’t believe how good the chocolate cake was, even not keto people thought it was delicious. You have made eating healthy fun and exciting. Have a great Christmas.
@@lanamcquown3063 You are very welcome. Hope you enjoy it more! So glad you and everyone else enjoyed it. Same thing when I took it to my moms birthday party, there was a regular cake there too and people loved my keto cake just as much! So glad my recipes have helped! You too! Merry Christmas!
Welcome!! Glad to have you and hope you enjoy all the recipes! I just started a keto weekly update which I'm trying to incorporate beginner keto tips and tricks.
HA! I just bought some chayote squash on sale recently and was trying to figure out what I was going to make with them since I've never bought them before. But I also bought zucchini for zucchini bread. I think I'll make the "apple" filling and freeze portions for mini pies or crumbles later (using jumbo muffin tin). I also have red and green apple flavorings to try. I thought that you were going to make stovetop caramel to add in but this is certainly an easier method. Thank you, Alycia, for testing the heck out of this and the additional tips!
That's a fun coincidence lol. I put my leftover squash from testing into a beef stew, haven't tried it yet though. Freezing sounds like a good idea, wonder if the squash would actually lose its crunch, lol. You're welcome, glad you are enjoying. 😊
I always peeled my first. The last time I made mine, I was thinking about baking some of it first to get a “softer constancy “? I would like to know your opinion on that. I went to culinary school but focused on Asian cuisine
I thought about peeling them after I put the video out. Well I sautee it forever to get it softer so baking would do the same but may dry it out, which I don't know if that's a good thing or not. Don't know if you are talking in general terms or for this particular recipe.
Looks delicious. I purchase some keto flavorings on Amazon - I have some apple flavoring. I wonder if that would make it taste more like apple? I can't wait to try this one. Maybe this weekend!
It was yummy, especially with pecan praline ice cream on top!!! I've heard it's good. I was debating on getting it but wanted to see if I could get a good pie without it. Hope you enjoy!!!
I will definitely be trying this, apple pie would have to be my favourite pie and I really miss it. I tried with chayote squash before but the crust recipe i tried missed the mark and yours looks so good! Thank you for reading my mind and sweet tooth once again lol
I just found this video.. not sure if anyone has said this and I haven’t worked with this squash, but I wonder if it could be like bananas for banana bread? The longer/more ripe they are the texture might be better? Just a thought! Love the recipes!
Thanks! I works but I don't like it as much. Just add butter until you get a crumbly texture, you might not need as much for the bamboo fiber or you may need more. Hope you enjoy!
If I wanted to just make the filling to put over ice cream, do I need a thickener or will it thicken by returning it to the pan to cook the liquid down? Thank you.
Thank you!!! SO good. Served this for non keto guest's .... they loved it!! Told them after we ate that it was keto! Didnt have the carmel flavored stevia, used Choc Zero carmel sauce instead. worked out fine. Could you make this with a top and bottom crust?? or is the filling to wet for that?? do you have a recipe for two crusted apple pie?? Thank you again for all your excellent reicpes.
You're very welcome! So glad everyone enjoyed. I haven't made a 2 crust pie yet mostly because the carbs would be too high. I think it may take a little experimenting, you may have to add just a little less liquid and maybe some dots of butter on top before the second pie crust goes on to help thicken the filling.
Hey Alicia just wanted to ask if you’ve ever tried jícama it has a slight Apple/pear taste and I plan on using it to make an “Apple “ pie. I’ve tried the chayote but I didn’t like it maybe because I cut it up into small cubes and didn’t cook long enough. Have you done a more recent Apple pie video?
I have not but thanks for the idea. Won't make one until the season though cause youtube is all about trends and I won't get many views right now on that.
What's the difference between this crust and your layered pumpkin cheesecake pie? Flavor? Texture? Which one is more flakier? Which one hold better without breaking when cutting? Thanks and sorry for all the questions 😁
They both cut and come out relatively easy. This crust is lower carb and flakier though. The other one is easier cause everything just goes in a food processor. I don't remember the taste of the other one but I'm guessing this one tastes more buttery because the other one has an egg and cream cheese in it also.
Hi there, Alisha❣️ Do you like using zucchini as an apple substitute? I've tried using the chayote squash before, but I really didn't like it much because it takes FOREVER to get it even a little bit soft. But I really like the way zucchini takes on the apple taste. Do you think I could swap the cooked chayote for raw zucchini? Or sautee it a bit? I'm just afraid it might turn to too mushy if I cook it first. Thanks so much❣️
Hey, have you tried soaking zucchini in apple cinnamon tea to make the "apples?" I'm not a chef but I heard about it and figured I'd anybody would know, you would. Or at least you'd know how to test that.
I've heard of people doing it, I haven't tried it though. I would make a very concentrated tea to do it though, not sure how long it would take to flavor them though.
Made this, exactly following the recipe. Unfortunately, the crust was soggy. Maybe it should be prebaked? Filling was good and no one suspected it wasn’t apple!
hi ❤️ quick question can I freeze the pie dough in a pie plate for later use, and if so how long can it stay in the freezer? trying to do a keto sweet potato pie for my husband
Could you explain what job the oat fibre is actually doing for your pastry, please? Only, I'm on the protocol for medical reasons. Primarily it stops my brain wanting to vacate the premises, but also because I'm allergic to the whole cereal family, so I'm gutted every time I see someone mention oat/wheat products in a 'keto' recipe, which then means I simply can't use it. If I know what job it's doing, I'll know how to swap it out.
It adds flavor and a smoother texture. I have another crust recipe for my pumpkin cheesecake pie you can use instead. And for the crumble you can replace the oat with egg white powder or a little bit of coconut flour.
@@KetoUpgrade Ah, I see. Thank you for getting back to me so quickly! I haven't got around to that video yet, because I've only just found you, and I've been swapping between you, and Indigo Nili, binge watching the two of you, so I'll check that one out too. I'm in the UK, and some of the ingredients prove difficult, or having had people vote for BREXIT, impossible to get, but it's great seeing what you all can do!
Hello , I did the crust several times, it s delicious and crispy, however were difficult th handle, which may due to my gelatin, I use pork one, the one I find in France, do you think it s that or maybe an other ingredient
@@KetoUpgrade just to roll, stuck to everything even with copious amount of coconut flour , I rolled it with 2 parchment papers… I used it to do some small tartelets ( for minced pies) they were very good!!! My husband is eating one and is raving about it!!! I wonder if it s the xanthan ? On that lot I didn’t t put any gelatin… Thanks
@@KetoUpgrade thx, that is what I did. Cooked at 375 10 min. Puff pastry crust came out better than just coconut flour crust. 10min with parchment paper and ceramic weights, then removed all, put a silicone crust shield around it and 6 more minutes. Great crust. Thx for all your hard work. SO much better than almond flour crusts I have tried.
That would probably be good. The only difference I have found is in recipes with minimal ingredients like a pie crust, if you look at the ingredients on keto chow they may have some gums in it and it could be a little too much. Just found that out in my sponge cake recipe, switching to chocolate protein instead of unflavored it got really thick and gelatinous. Just looked up the packet and the second ingredient is acacia gum and the 5th is xanthan gum. One packet is 45 g so maybe try the whole packet and cut out the gelatin from the recipe? That's my best advise without trying it myself.
Please note that whey protein isolate spikes blood sugar and isn't the best protein powder source to use, if one is struggling with inflammation or weight.
May be the case for some but can't be true for everyone because I've used it to bake for 2 1/2 year and reached my goal weight and have perfect blood work even in pregnancy. I haven't done research but if you have I'd like a link to look at.

I will definitely be trying this, apple pie would have to be my favourite pie and I really miss it. I tried with chayote squash before but the crust recipe i tried missed the mark and yours looks so good! Thank you for reading my mind and sweet tooth once again lol
Awesome, hope you enjoy! You're welcome, glad I can help your sweet tooth, lol. 😉😁
I like your style - keto with a professional twist! I was getting so tired of the same list of ingredients and techniques.
Thanks! Hope I can be of some help and inspiration for you!
Ok... That looks awesome! And I have yet to figure out how to get that squash the right texture. Glad I'm not the only one.
Thanks! I'm right there with ya, lol. It still tastes delicious though, like I said even raw it was still good with some keto ice cream on top. 😋
I just found this video.. not sure if anyone has said this and I haven’t worked with this squash, but I wonder if it could be like bananas for banana bread? The longer/more ripe they are the texture might be better? Just a thought! Love the recipes!
i saw someone boil the squash in apple spice tea bags to give them apple flavor. worked great with zucchini, too.
Yeah I've heard that a few times, could use that instead of the water in my recipe.
So what does the squash taste like?
To avoid that little "crunch" would Zucchinis work or just turn to mush?
Thank you for your recipes and hard work.
There are recipes out there with zucchini. I tried one with summer squash it was ok. I think I like the chayote better.
This looks amazing. Trying this for Thanksgiving. 😊
Awesome! Hope you enjoy it!!
Wow 🤩
I love your attention to detail! Could I use bamboo fiber in place of the oat fiber? I can’t wait to try this!
Thanks! I works but I don't like it as much. Just add butter until you get a crumbly texture, you might not need as much for the bamboo fiber or you may need more. Hope you enjoy!
@@KetoUpgrade thanks! I’ll let you know what I find when I do it.
If I wanted to just make the filling to put over ice cream, do I need a thickener or will it thicken by returning it to the pan to cook the liquid down? Thank you.
I would just add all the rest of the ingredients after the initial sauté stage and cook until thick. You won't need a thickener.
Yummy
Just in time for the holidays!! Love your sweet tooth!!!
Yeppers! Thanks lol. Use to think of it as a curse but now that I found all these new ingredients, it's a blessing! 🙂
Thank you!!! SO good. Served this for non keto guest's .... they loved it!! Told them after we ate that it was keto! Didnt have the carmel flavored stevia, used Choc Zero carmel sauce instead. worked out fine.
Could you make this with a top and bottom crust?? or is the filling to wet for that??
do you have a recipe for two crusted apple pie??
Thank you again for all your excellent reicpes.
You're very welcome! So glad everyone enjoyed. I haven't made a 2 crust pie yet mostly because the carbs would be too high. I think it may take a little experimenting, you may have to add just a little less liquid and maybe some dots of butter on top before the second pie crust goes on to help thicken the filling.
Hey Alicia just wanted to ask if you’ve ever tried jícama it has a slight Apple/pear taste and I plan on using it to make an “Apple “ pie. I’ve tried the chayote but I didn’t like it maybe because I cut it up into small cubes and didn’t cook long enough. Have you done a more recent Apple pie video?
I have not but thanks for the idea. Won't make one until the season though cause youtube is all about trends and I won't get many views right now on that.
I volunteer to be your official recipe tester! *Insert Katniss Everdeen*
😆 😁
Yum
What's the difference between this crust and your layered pumpkin cheesecake pie? Flavor? Texture? Which one is more flakier? Which one hold better without breaking when cutting? Thanks and sorry for all the questions 😁
They both cut and come out relatively easy. This crust is lower carb and flakier though.
The other one is easier cause everything just goes in a food processor. I don't remember the taste of the other one but I'm guessing this one tastes more buttery because the other one has an egg and cream cheese in it also.
@@KetoUpgrade ok thank you for responding. I'm gathering all the Thanksgiving goodies I want to make so I'm writing all the recipes 😁
@@KarenLeon457 You're Welcome!! Have a great and yummy Thanksgiving!!!
@@KetoUpgrade Its all thanks to you❤ You do too🧡
Hi, they are called Choko’s in Australia 😊
Hi there, Alisha❣️
Do you like using zucchini as an apple substitute? I've tried using the chayote squash before, but I really didn't like it much because it takes FOREVER to get it even a little bit soft. But I really like the way zucchini takes on the apple taste. Do you think I could swap the cooked chayote for raw zucchini? Or sautee it a bit? I'm just afraid it might turn to
too mushy if I cook it first.
Thanks so much❣️
I've never tried so I can't really help there. I'm afraid zucchini would make the pie super wet.
Summer squash works better than zucchini
Hey, have you tried soaking zucchini in apple cinnamon tea to make the "apples?" I'm not a chef but I heard about it and figured I'd anybody would know, you would. Or at least you'd know how to test that.
I've heard of people doing it, I haven't tried it though. I would make a very concentrated tea to do it though, not sure how long it would take to flavor them though.
what if you added an extract, like an apple pie extract?
It would be good!
Made this, exactly following the recipe. Unfortunately, the crust was soggy. Maybe it should be prebaked? Filling was good and no one suspected it wasn’t apple!
You can try. It's probably just difference in ovens. Glad it passed for the real thing!
I've seen others add apple flavoring. You don't miss the apple flavor?
You can add it, I looked at extracts but they all had mixed reviews so I didn't grab any.
Can you try making keto apple fritters? 😊😊
I may try that some day, I'll be here for awhile and be bringing a lot of keto recipes.
Alycia - have you tried this recipe using jicama? I don’t know how the carb count compares, but it may cook up better. Not sure tho.
I just looked it up and chayote has 5 carbs per 100 grams and jicama has 9 per. BUT net carbs = 4.1 jicama, 3.3 chayote.
Never used jicama before, may dabble with it eventually though.
hi ❤️ quick question can I freeze the pie dough in a pie plate for later use, and if so how long can it stay in the freezer? trying to do a keto sweet potato pie for my husband
yes, a few weeks.
Commenting to help with algo 😊
Nut pie recipe(s), please🙏
Could you explain what job the oat fibre is actually doing for your pastry, please? Only, I'm on the protocol for medical reasons. Primarily it stops my brain wanting to vacate the premises, but also because I'm allergic to the whole cereal family, so I'm gutted every time I see someone mention oat/wheat products in a 'keto' recipe, which then means I simply can't use it. If I know what job it's doing, I'll know how to swap it out.
It adds flavor and a smoother texture. I have another crust recipe for my pumpkin cheesecake pie you can use instead. And for the crumble you can replace the oat with egg white powder or a little bit of coconut flour.
@@KetoUpgrade Ah, I see. Thank you for getting back to me so quickly! I haven't got around to that video yet, because I've only just found you, and I've been swapping between you, and Indigo Nili, binge watching the two of you, so I'll check that one out too. I'm in the UK, and some of the ingredients prove difficult, or having had people vote for BREXIT, impossible to get, but it's great seeing what you all can do!
Hello , I did the crust several times, it s delicious and crispy, however were difficult th handle, which may due to my gelatin, I use pork one, the one I find in France, do you think it s that or maybe an other ingredient
What was difficult about it? Sticky, falling apart, dry and crumbly, hard, stiff, soft?
@@KetoUpgrade just to roll, stuck to everything even with copious amount of coconut flour , I rolled it with 2 parchment papers… I used it to do some small tartelets ( for minced pies) they were very good!!! My husband is eating one and is raving about it!!! I wonder if it s the xanthan ? On that lot I didn’t t put any gelatin…
Thanks
@@ingridbird6816 If it was too sticky I would add less water, you want it to just come together not be sticky at all before you chill it.
To blind bake this crust, with pie weights, for a coconut cream, how long ya think and what temp as to not over brown? Hope I dont mess it up.
Not sure I haven't done that with this crust. But I would start with 10 minutes, then keep an eye on it.
@@KetoUpgrade thx, that is what I did. Cooked at 375 10 min. Puff pastry crust came out better than just coconut flour crust. 10min with parchment paper and ceramic weights, then removed all, put a silicone crust shield around it and 6 more minutes. Great crust. Thx for all your hard work. SO much better than almond flour crusts I have tried.
I BOIL MY CYHOTE IN APPLE CINIMON TEA TO GET THAT FLAVOR AND TEXTER
I've heard that, it's a good idea but never tried it.
Can you make a banana cream pie recipe??!! 🙏🏼😬
Maybe one day.
@@KetoUpgrade 😔 oooookay
Could I use keto chow instead of the whey protein because I have an apple pie keto chow packet and would love to incorporate it in to a keto apple pie
That would probably be good. The only difference I have found is in recipes with minimal ingredients like a pie crust, if you look at the ingredients on keto chow they may have some gums in it and it could be a little too much. Just found that out in my sponge cake recipe, switching to chocolate protein instead of unflavored it got really thick and gelatinous. Just looked up the packet and the second ingredient is acacia gum and the 5th is xanthan gum. One packet is 45 g so maybe try the whole packet and cut out the gelatin from the recipe? That's my best advise without trying it myself.
@@KetoUpgrade thank you, I’ll just try it and see how it turns out.
I have to ask . Are your recipes ok for diabetics?
Yes but I would always keep track of insulin levels because different ingredients effect people differently.
@@KetoUpgrade thank you I seen so many of your recipes I want to try. Especially the 🍞 bread.
Hey darling have you ever made chicken pot pies yet?
I have a live stream where I made chicken pot pie!
how about using zuchinni please?
Never tried it, sorry but it gets soft really quick and has a lot of moisture.
Please note that whey protein isolate spikes blood sugar and isn't the best protein powder source to use, if one is struggling with inflammation or weight.
May be the case for some but can't be true for everyone because I've used it to bake for 2 1/2 year and reached my goal weight and have perfect blood work even in pregnancy. I haven't done research but if you have I'd like a link to look at.
