Our Keto Love Snacks are shelf stable for up to 4 months. While many of our customers enjoy eating the Cups cold, it is not necessary to refrigerate or freeze them. So go ahead and chill your snacks -- we're totally cool with it!
These delicious Keto Cups have a tendency to melt when warm - after all they are the perfect combination of chocolate and ooey gooey goodness. If you plan to travel long distances, you might want to freeze them before taking off.
Ps. I'm writing this on a flight with a large stash of Keto Love Snacks in my carry on - unfrozen. So obviously I don't take my own advice ; )

We totally get that a lot of people don't want to give up on their sweet treats. Hence why we created a deliciously healthy option that tastes like it is made with sugar, but without the impact that sugar can have on our bodies. In other words, you can indulge and rest assured that your health goals are being achieved.
We do not cook with sweeteners like honey, sugar, or agave so we use a blend of Organic Erythritol, Organic Monk Fruit, and Organic Stevia.
Why all three? First of all, our Keto Love Cups are not overly sweet. In fact many of our customers report that they are perfectly balanced!
While many keto snacks can have a artificial sugary taste, ours taste totally natural and delicious. We've found that blending the finest high quality, natural sugar substitutes, your mouth can’t tell the difference... But your brain and body definitely can!
Avoiding sugars means you can say goodbye to insulin spikes, glucose crashes, hormone imbalances, breakouts, mood swings, energy crashes, brain fog, and reap the benefits of staying in ketosis. This means your digestion should improve.
We want you to feel good about your nutrition choices!
Erythritol has a rather scientific-sounding name, but it's actually just another sweetener found in fruits like pears, grapes and watermelons. It's an organic compound and is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol, which can be derived from corn for commercial production.
Our erythritol is sourced from a supplier that has strict Non-GMO policies in place for both its production processes and its raw material suppliers.
The Deep Dive... Erythritol is often used as an alternative to sugar. It contains virtually no calories and has a zero glycemic index. It does not affect blood sugar or insulin levels, making it a suitable sugar substitute for diabetics. Unlike other sugar alcohols which are widely known to cause digestive problems, erythritol is generally well tolerated by most people. The key difference between erythritol and all other sugar alcohols is its small molecular size which allows it to be absorbed quickly in the upper digestive tract. Other sugar alcohols are not absorbed by the upper GI tract and reach the lower tract where degradation can cause gastric distress. Although absorbed by the body in the upper GI tract, erythritol is not metabolized like other nutrients, which is why it contributes to minimal calories and has no impact on blood sugar.
Monk Fruit is a small round fruit in the gourd family, also known as Luo Han Guo -- named after the Luo Han monks who discovered it.
The monks were healers of people and stewards of the land so, in the Key to Love Shack spirit of being whisked away to exotic destinations, our mission is to follow in this beautiful legacy of healing people from their sugar addictions.
We source Monk Fruit that has been grown and processed in a sustainable way, including having a zero-emissions processing plant.
Stevia is a natural sweetener and sugar substitute derived from the leaves of the plant species Stevia rebaudiana, which is native to Brazil and Paraguay.
The active compounds are steviol glycosides, which have about 200-300 times the sweetness of sugar, are heat-stable, pH-stable, and not fermentable. For this reason we use more erythritol in our chocolate than Stevia because erythritol is only 60% as sweet as sugar, while Stevia is 200-300 times as sweet as sugar.
Therefore, Stevia is what contributes to our chocolates’ sweetness, while erythritol contributes to rounding out the delicious flavor profile and mouth-feel.
Well, according to WebMD: Collagen peptides are made by breaking down whole collagen proteins into smaller pieces. When taken by mouth, collagen peptides seem to build up in the skin and cartilage. This might help improve some skin and joint conditions. Collagen peptides are used for aging skin and osteoarthritis.
Our Collagen Peptides are derived from bovine hide that has been grass fed and pasture-raised. Get your beauty sleep knowing you're only getting the highest quality ingredients in Key To Love Shack's keto snacks.
We are so glad you asked! Our Keto Love Cup packaging is a mix of biodegradable, compostable, and recycled materials. Yup... The stickers and clear clamshells are all compostable! The cardboard box your package arrives in is made from recycled materials and is recyclable. Even our packing tape is biodegradable! The planet is one groovy Love Shack and we plan to do our part to keep it that way.
Who runs the world? We're with Beyoncé declaring... GIRLS!
Being 100% female-owned and operated means that, by design, women are leading all aspects of Key To Love Shack. From the website and label designs, to sales and marketing and all the things that go into getting a small business off the ground (believe me when I say it's a looooong list!), we've got some smart cookies behind the scenes.
Great question! You know the saying, “Its the thought that counts!”
Well, that’s partially true. Intention is 85% of the game the rest is action and, in our case, production, design, packaging and ingredients!
All of our products are environmentally-friendly. From the ingredients, to our biodegradable packaging and low carbon footprint shipping.
From our founding principles, to the women we hire and work with, the idea of making a snack that has it all - and empowers you to have it all - was born out of LOVE, and we do our best to let that energy flow into every bit of our ethos and bite you take.
Of course! Perhaps you are avoiding sugar, or you are doing your best to monitor your insulin levels, or maybe you just want to eat cleaner and your friend suggested your give our Keto Love Cups a try. It's all good!
There's a saying in yoga that it does not matter what brings you to the practice, it’s that you practice. We accept you just as you are and are so grateful to share our keto snacks with you!
