Queijo com Goiabada Keto
Keto Cheese with Guava Paste
Yes, with a tweak: use a low-carb, sugar-free guava paste. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Brazilian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Affectionately known as 'Romeo e Julieta', this iconic Brazilian pairing features a slice of mild, firm cheese (such as Queijo Minas or a similar variety) served with a low-carb guava paste. The paste is made with real guava and a keto-friendly sweetener, capturing the authentic flavor without the added sugar.
Key ingredients
Queijo Minas Frescal or similar mild cheese (e.g., provolone, mozzarella), guava, water, erythritol (or other keto-friendly sweetener), lemon juice (for the paste).
How to make it keto
Use a low-carb, sugar-free guava paste. Ensure the cheese is natural and does not contain added sugars or starches.
Watch out for
Natural sugars from guava (even with sweetener, real fruit has carbs); dairy carbs from cheese.
