Great video! Glad you ended up back into nutritional ketosis and then some by the end. There didn't seem to be any suspicious ingredients that would cause me to be surprised by the results. A lot of people think palm oil is bad for you when it isn't. It's only bad for the environment if it's not sustainably sourced, which this one probably isn't since it wasn't mentioned on the label and they're not using red palm oil, which is usually indicative that it's sustainably sourced. Otherwise, go to town!
Is the increase in ketones from the coconut oil though? It is a medium chain triglycerides so it slips into the liver and produces ketones. It would be interesting to try it again using butter which would not have the same effect. But I'm excited nonetheless!!!
Recently found your channel about a week ago! I use to do keto and had success years ago but I needed something else. Currently doing alternate day fasting and just calorie counting! But your SO motivating!! Btw love your accent!! I’m from Louisiana too! Pierre part... about 1.5 hours away from New Orleans!! It’s nice to see locals on the RUclips!! Keep it up!
I just bought one of these and my eyes got big when I saw the 33 grams of carbs! 😳 I’m like how sway?! 😂 Glad I found your video. It tasted pretty good to me.
Ah!!! My husband found these at Kroger and bought one for me. He and our girls are going to make cupcakes so he wanted me included. So excited to try it! 👏 🎉
Nicole thank you for testing the Keto Duncan Hines all I wonted to do was eat some brownies !!!! so glad your ketones stayed good..Keep up the good work you do for ALL OF US !!
I just enjoyed mine with spoon full of rebel vanilla ice cream, it’s so rich the ice cream paired perfectly!!! I used coconut oil as well to make mine. I think everyone should have a stash of these in their pantry. Thanks girl 4 another great video 😊
As soon as I saw the final results I put this mug cake in my online cart lol. Thank you for testing this for us, Nicole. I'm on a tight budget so this is a great option for me!
Shark Week! LMAOOOOO! Your humor is an added plus. Have you seen "Sugarless crystals " he does recipes. I like Thomas DeLauer, but he does too much modeling ish for me (like Van Damme used to show his body all the time).
Please help me find a good bread!! Maybe you have already done that video. I'll check. I'm new here and new to keto but I live this video. So glad I found you. Was searching how this Duncan Hines cake was supposed to look when done and guess what??? FOUND YOU and got so much more info than I ever was looking for. SO SO helpful!!!! Thank you. Hoping this Keto diet lifestyle change will help me to get healthy in my old age. (59) ✌️🥰🥰🥰
Hi Nicole, I saw that at Walmart and passed on it but I may go back and get it for a treat!! Thanks for doing the work for us!!! I’d like to see you try the Birchbrothers Keto pancakes and their mug cakes.
I haven’t been able to find those yet. I’ll look at Walmart again. That would be a great, easy option to have on hand. So glad it didn’t kick you out. I 100% thought it would. Thanks for the test. 🤩
I can’t bring myself to buy a meter because they are so expensive for the strips! So thanks for doing these vids!! I would like to see you try a low carb tortilla
VERY easy to prep these ingredients in baggies from bulk and make these for less money and easy, easy yum... add a few lily's chips after it cools a bit!
You better love the taste of coconut--a lot! Because it overrides the taste of chocolate. I don't mind coconut in the background of tastes, but I would label this as Coconut Chocolate Cake. Not sure how it compares to other Keto "cakes" or "brownies", as this is the first of such deserts I've tried. It looks moist, but the mouth-feel is pretty dry and "crummy". If you have a tolerance (or love!) for coconut, it's worth a try.
Just found your channel, loving your videos! Could you try doing a glucose test on a high key product specifically one that has tapioca fiber in it such as their pancakes, muffins, brownies, or blondies? Would love to know the results!
I have been buying these for a few months , my granddaughter LOVES them this is her treat half with SF whip cream for each of us seems to work for each of use for our dessert birthday cake is her favorite
I just bought this and had to try before seeing this video, I thought it was delicious, I did add some cool whip though. Glad to know it increased ketones!😁
Awesome video. I was expecting it to kick you out of ketosis. Nice surprise. Great little treat for portion control & not expensive win win. Do you recommend testing out keto readings 3 times to see if it affects us or 1 time is enough?
Birch Benders came out with a range of cups that look pretty clean-no maltitol or maltodextrin! Maybe check into those and add them to a future keto kicker. PS: I dumped the Duncan Hines birthday cake and double chocolate cake. Totally did not see the maltitol in them when I bought them. Thank you for pointing that out!
Thank you for this review. I also bought this. I'm going to need to try it. I'm not sure if I'll use butter or coconut oil yet. I'll also test my levels too to see how I'm affected. 😁🙌
The only thing that aggravates me is that allulose is subtracted like fiber and sugar alcohols but is not listed on the Nutrition Facts label on the packaging like they are!
Just put these in my Walmart grocery pickup order and the double chocolate cake flavor too 😊 hoping I will be able to get it by Monday's pickup and it doesn't sell out. Also, this would be so yummy with a scoop of ice cream on top
I tried this yesterday was shocked at the carbs and couldn't figure out the net carb glad I found this video. Is it just me or is it nasty thow I had to add some Lilly chocolate chips for taste
I'm so thankful that I just watched your video I had one of these tonight and I'm new to keto I was scared to death when I saw the total carbs so do I count the net carbs or the total carbs also what should the percentage of protein Bay there so much different information out there
I love these type of videos, fact checking with the monitors. I have a request. Can you please do a video to see if the Nut Pods break a fast, by checking glucose and ketones? The reason I ask is because I've been trying to do Intermittent fasting (18/6 or 20/4) the last week and a half. One day last week I could not wait and made coffee with the the Nut Pods and I lost weight the next day. This whole week I've had the Nut Pods every morning, before breaking my fast and have lost weight. I've been in a stall for months, so this is a big deal for me. I've not been doing carnivore, so there is no change in my diet. I have been walking 5-6 days per week since April 1st. So, nothing new to my lifestyle to attribute the weightloss. I think Intermittent fasting is definitely working, and I'm guessing the Nut Pods are NOT breaking a fast. I'm waiting until Ketocoach dual monitor is available to do my own testing. In the meantime, could you do a video to see if it breaks a fast? This could be a game changer for anyone (like me) that just can't drink black coffee first thing in the morning!😖 it's absolute torture waiting for 12 noon or longer to be able to enjoy a good cup of coffee with HWC. I don't care about eating in the morning. In fact, I'm not even hungry, but a good cup of coffee is so essential to starting my day!!🤗 ps, I use the non refrigerated Nut Pods, because I can't find the other ones in my area.
Actually not surprised by these results. With the fat content and the fact that you added coconut oil, I actually did expect your ketones to go up. Glucose didn't do bad at all. I'd be curious what a standard clean keto meal does to glucose by comparison. No matter what you eat, glucose will go up a little naturally. You just don't want the large spikes. I wish there was a decent one with good ingredients that isn't chocolate cake or brownie...not a fan.
I'm guessing that your ketones were boosted because the macros on it essentially made it a fat bomb. Between the walnuts and coconut oil, most appeared to be high-quality fats, too (except for the palm oil).
The monitors should not b approached as if they’re exact. Google: how the BG monitors can b +/- 10% (about) differential. You should use them as an average, not exact.
Good video - good blood sugar readings. The coconut oil you added probably was why your ketones went up - that isn't really ketones from the body but oil eaten which spikes ketone readings. Butter probably would have not spiked the ketone reading. Palm oil is far from clean too - really bad for inflammation.
I've tried all three. I Didn't care for the Walnut fudge brownie. The birthday cake is OK. The double chocolate one 🔥🔥🔥. There $1.98 where I live. ( I like to put cool whip on top of mines as well)
@Nicole Burgess. It really is. I kinda laughed when u said having the brownie with some coffee. I did that one morning. Didn't know what I wanted to eat so I went for it lol
Great video! Glad you ended up back into nutritional ketosis and then some by the end. There didn't seem to be any suspicious ingredients that would cause me to be surprised by the results.

This came just in time! My husband’s birthday is on Monday and didn’t feel like baking a cake for just us two. Thank you!
Wow 😳 I’m surprised really thought it was going to throw you out of ketosis. Well pick one up. Happy Saturday 😊😘
Ah!!! My husband found these at Kroger and bought one for me. He and our girls are going to make cupcakes so he wanted me included. So excited to try it! 👏 🎉
That is awesome!
Nicole thank you for testing the Keto Duncan Hines all I wonted to do was eat some brownies !!!! so glad your ketones stayed good..Keep up the good work you do for ALL OF US !!
Thank you for testing and please continue to do more. I'm not surprised by the rise of ketones because you added coconut oil to the recipe.
it might be keto but prepared it’s almost 600 calories for a snack. that’s ridiculous. that’s a third of my daily calories.
I just enjoyed mine with spoon full of rebel vanilla ice cream, it’s so rich the ice cream paired perfectly!!! I used coconut oil as well to make mine. I think everyone should have a stash of these in their pantry. Thanks girl 4 another great video 😊
I love these video! 😁👏🏼🙌🏼 thank you Nicole
Thanks Logan❤
As soon as I saw the final results I put this mug cake in my online cart lol. Thank you for testing this for us, Nicole. I'm on a tight budget so this is a great option for me!
Right!? $1.98 for something keto friendly I'm all about!! Hope you enjoy it girl❤
Most of the 5 ingredient homemade mug cakes are cheaper and cleaner if you are watching the budget, Julie.
Shark Week! LMAOOOOO! Your humor is an added plus. Have you seen "Sugarless crystals " he does recipes. I like Thomas DeLauer, but he does too much modeling ish for me (like Van Damme used to show his body all the time).

So happy you found me!! Welcome to the fam🥰 Base Culture & Unbun are the cleanest keto bread options on the market & I love them❤
Hi Nicole, I saw that at Walmart and passed on it but I may go back and get it for a treat!! Thanks for doing the work for us!!! I’d like to see you try the Birchbrothers Keto pancakes and their mug cakes.
Hello, May I request you do the Duncan box mixes? The yellow cake and brownies.
Thank you for this video! I have been eyeing these Duncan Hines cakes but the carb count kept me from getting it. I'll be trying them now.
I haven’t been able to find those yet. I’ll look at Walmart again. That would be a great, easy option to have on hand. So glad it didn’t kick you out. I 100% thought it would. Thanks for the test. 🤩
Shelly King Fred Meyer has the two cake ones, birthday cake and double chocolate, no brownie, but today was the first time I’ve seen them there.
My new fav youtuber! Ty for this video!
wow I wasn't expecting that result at all... I really enjoy those videos
I bought two of these and ate one tonight. I was surprised at how good it was.
Heck yea I have this in my cabinet & was worried when I seen this!
same! i just bought it and was so worried
I can’t bring myself to buy a meter because they are so expensive for the strips! So thanks for doing these vids!! I would like to see you try a low carb tortilla
VERY easy to prep these ingredients in baggies from bulk and make these for less money and easy, easy yum... add a few lily's chips after it cools a bit!
Thank you for testing this! Very surprised with outcome!

My birthday is in 20 days think this will be my cake. Thank you.
Nan Catlin They have a birthday cake one. Happy early birthday btw. 🎂🎈🎁

Hey tfs sharing!! Love the idea that u can have a treat every now and then that will keep us on track!
That's what I'm looking for and slowly going to keto and wanting to have more meat while still being able to have a sweet treat.
I just bought this and had to try before seeing this video, I thought it was delicious, I did add some cool whip though. Glad to know it increased ketones!😁
Very interesting! I've heard moxed reviews about the taste of these cups. The results were better than mine for the birch benders cups
Thank you! I was going to try this but put it back since I did not know about allulose -- just that the carbs listed were high!
I’m with you with the Maltitol/maltodextrin. Besides being a crap product, it kicks me out of Ketosis every time!
Awesome video. I was expecting it to kick you out of ketosis. Nice surprise. Great little treat for portion control & not expensive win win. Do you recommend testing out keto readings 3 times to see if it affects us or 1 time is enough?

Have you tested the Kitu Super Coffees? I can't remember. Great Video
Thanks for trying this out! This is great to know! 👍
I just bought one of these. The front says 5 net carbs but on the side it says 33 grams of carbs and 6 fiber. How does this calculate to 5 net carbs?
Just put these in my Walmart grocery pickup order and the double chocolate cake flavor too 😊 hoping I will be able to get it by Monday's pickup and it doesn't sell out. Also, this would be so yummy with a scoop of ice cream on top
oh that is so cool. It would be great to have something like that when I go to birthday parties and have something I can eat.
I love these!!!!!! Can you do rebel ice cream?
I tried this yesterday was shocked at the carbs and couldn't figure out the net carb glad I found this video. Is it just me or is it nasty thow I had to add some Lilly chocolate chips for taste
I'm so thankful that I just watched your video I had one of these tonight and I'm new to keto I was scared to death when I saw the total carbs so do I count the net carbs or the total carbs also what should the percentage of protein Bay there so much different information out there
Hey girl! Thank you for your keto kicker videos
I was not expecting you to be in Ketosis! Love It!

The zero carb bread from aldi increases my ketones. Blows me away.
Wow!! That's great!! No Aldi here unfortunately!
That’s interesting. I saw those at Kroger but was scared off by the total carbs. Something I’d buy for a vacation treat.
Wow! I was shocked at that ketone reading!
Surprised 😮 ! Might try myself, I react different then most people. I need to test myself.
Actually not surprised by these results. With the fat content and the fact that you added coconut oil, I actually did expect your ketones to go up. Glucose didn't do bad at all. I'd be curious what a standard clean keto meal does to glucose by comparison. No matter what you eat, glucose will go up a little naturally. You just don't want the large spikes. I wish there was a decent one with good ingredients that isn't chocolate cake or brownie...not a fan.
Any thoughts on the Duncan Hines keto chewy fudge brownie mix?
Thank you
Thanks for doing these!
Thanks for this. I love the brownie!
Planning on looking for the mudcakes.
Wow, I’ve seen it at my Wal-Mart. I will give it a try!
Oops!!! Forgot to mention, one of the items I would like to see tested is the KITU Super Coffee! I love the Mocha .....so yummy! :)
I meant to add in my comment before. I'd like you to test out the Good Deeds Blonde mix. 😁
Wow I have a lot to learn
I'm guessing that your ketones were boosted because the macros on it essentially made it a fat bomb. Between the walnuts and coconut oil, most appeared to be high-quality fats, too (except for the palm oil).
Probably, but the glucose coming back to baseline was awesome for the product itself❤
I really like allulose. I did the same tests on this mug cake and had very similar results. A once in awhile winner for me. By the way I used butter.
Is the total calories shown on the label including the butter and oil added ? Or just the mix alone?
I have a thought on your numbers. You used coconut oil, which has MCTs in it. That may have increased your ketones.
I was the thinking the same!!
Can you do jordans skinny syrups!?
Personally in my opinion, a spike is 30 points higher than baseline, so 14 is fine
Nice review but your Ketones probably went up because of the Coconut oil honestly. I would like to see another test without the use of Coconut oil
I want to see more of these!!
Hi Nicole, could you le t me know where to find info on your new keto coaching?
Awesome surprise!!
I just had one of these. Did not feel good afterwards, was okay.
The monitors should not b approached as if they’re exact. Google: how the BG monitors can b +/- 10% (about) differential. You should use them as an average, not exact.
Love the baby spoon!! #mamalife
I am shocked, I thought that it would be trash and a definite no go!
I bought these for 50 cents. I wonder why? Probably not selling.
Not sure I’d classify 14 points as a significant spike...
That looks good, not too bad... I’m going to see if I can find some. 🍫💙 👍🏼
Should have done a ketone test at 30min :)
Can you do the new bolthouse keto drinks
It is 380 calories that scared me more than carbs...
20 + grams of sweetner, that's like 2 tablespoon..not that bad.
Good video - good blood sugar readings. The coconut oil you added probably was why your ketones went up - that isn't really ketones from the body but oil eaten which spikes ketone readings. Butter probably would have not spiked the ketone reading. Palm oil is far from clean too - really bad for inflammation.
does anybody know if the nutrition facts include the tbsp of butter?
How do you feel about xylitol?
Put almond butter on there, it's delicious
I ate the same one and it contains maltitol as well weird...i wonder why mine did and yours did not?
Super weird!!
Isn't palm oil bad for you? I see that in a lot of keto sweets.
Wow!! I agree! 🥰
O Yes So Ymmy I put Sugur Free whip on it!
I've tried all three. I Didn't care for the Walnut fudge brownie. The birthday cake is OK. The double chocolate one 🔥🔥🔥. There $1.98 where I live. ( I like to put cool whip on top of mines as well)
Topped with rebel vanilla!!!
Yes💯💯
For the price, it's a great option👍❤
Laura Gullett lol... I'll have to try that. Sounds good 😋
@Nicole Burgess. It really is. I kinda laughed when u said having the brownie with some coffee. I did that one morning. Didn't know what I wanted to eat so I went for it lol
Thanks
what’s wrong with maltitol?
Hi why do you need two monitors and what does the black tell you
one is a ketones monitor and one is a blood glucose monitor for monitoring insulin... HTH 💗🥰
And I buy them all the time I I love them
Thanks.
Thats not bad it didn't rais it ro high and it went down
Ty
Good Morning 😃👋💙❤️💜👍👍
