Description
Coconut Keto Clusters are popular low-carb snacks that can be vegan depending on the ingredients used. Typically made with coconut flakes, nuts, seeds, and keto-friendly sweeteners, they offer a plant-based, naturally gluten-free, and low-carb treat. However, some commercial versions may contain non-vegan binders or sweeteners like honey and dairy, so checking labels is important. For a guaranteed vegan option, making them at home with plant-based ingredients is recommended.
