Special Ingredients
De-Bittered Stevia has no unpleasant aftertaste. This blend has none of the characteristic bitterness of typical stevia sweeteners.
Zero carb and zero glycemic impact.
Chocolate stevia adds a special punch of flavor – without adding more cocoa, actual chocolate or net carbs.
Increase the Fat-Burning
Top your low carb ice cream with shredded coconut for extra crunch (and healthy, MCT fats). Or just add a few tablespoons of MCT oil.
Left Coast’s pure MCT oil converts into energy faster than other oils, ignites your body’s metabolic rate and helps maintain healthy levels of cholesterol.

Low Carb Chocolate Sauce
If your low carb ice cream isn’t chocolatey enough, add an easy sauce. Drizzle over scoops or pour into a tall glass for dipping pops.
How-To with Chips:
Melt low carb chocolate chips over low heat in a double boiler (or use a microwave.) Remove from heat, add a dash of salt and vanilla extract, then allow to cool.
We’re going for a runny-thick (but not too firm) consistency. Too thick? Butter or coconut oil thins the sauce, but reduces the hardness.

Cocoa Powder Chocolate Sauce
No chocolate? No problem. Use unsweetened cocoa powder instead. This variation isn’t as fluffy and thick as the melted chips version, but works well in a pinch.
