Since I began cutting carbs I've always missed my fav chip-type snack, Cheetos. Today I found an alternative...

I call it Keto Cheat-O's... and they're delish...

You start with a bag of Pork Rinds. I prefer the Kroger Brand for the amount, quality, cost. Then you get a jar of cheese flavoring sold online for making mac-n-cheese or popcorn flavor. I went with the Vermont white even though it's not the right color, it was half the carbs of the other brands.

Next you fill a container(I use a mason jar as it keeps them fresh and crunchy too) with rinds, and add a Tbsp or two of the cheese powder and replace the lid.

Shake... and enjoy...

Now the serving size is 2 Tbsp and that's 3g of carbs, 4.5g Fat, and 4g protein. I put 2Tbsp in a jar full of rinds. You could easily use half that and coat it well. The jar is a couple servings of rinds for me. So, it's roughly a quarter of a serving of the cheese product plus your choice of rind. I call it an effective gram of carbs/fat/pro per serving or basically negligible for my diet needs...
 
These are quite tasty but like the white cheddar Cheetos brand product, not as "cheesy" as the orange ones. If you dig white cheddar, cheetos, popcorn or cheese-its, you'll love this. Even with the higher carb count of the bright yellow/orange cheese powders, the small amount required makes it well in the acceptable range. I ordered some to see if it's more in line with the taste of original Cheetos... I'll report back...
