Is Pero Instant Coffee Substitute Healthy?
PERO Instant Natural Beverage offers the ideal alternative to coffee. Crafted with all-natural ingredients – malted barley, chicory and rye – it offers 100% caffeine free drink that won’t lead to raised blood pressure or sleeplessness – plus its low acidity allows it to be enjoyed morning, noon or night without an upset stomach!
Coffee may contain acrylamide, a carcinogenic that forms during high-temperature cooking processes and has been linked with some forms of cancer in animals; however, no human evidence shows a risk for consumption; in general coffee consumption should remain safe when enjoyed moderately.
If you’re concerned about the levels of acrylamide in your coffee, instant may be the way to go. Trader Joe’s offers several instant varieties roasted at lower temperatures which contain significantly less acrylamide than regular brewed options.
Pero, vanilla extract or flavor syrup (I recommend Torani), whisk, and your preferred milk type (whole or 2% works best for stiffer peaks, while soy or almond might also work).
Are You Keto Friendly?
Absolutely. Pero makes for an excellent caffeine free alternative to coffee for those on a keto diet, featuring minimal net carbs and zero non-keto ingredients such as sugar, artificial sweeteners or refined oils – providing that all other food consumed also fit within your daily net carb allowance for ketosis.
