Keto Honey Review - Three Different Brands 

Thank you for including Wholesome Yum Keto Honey! I appreciate the feedback on the label... the bottle is small so it was hard to fit it all in, but I will see if there's something we can do to improve that. (Yes, 100% of the total carbs in it are from allulose.) Regarding the aftertaste, we actually reduced the amount of monk fruit in it recently to reduce that aftertaste you experienced. :) Can't wait to see if you end up using it in recipes like you mentioned!

I use the Wholesome Yum brand. If you eat it off the spoon you do get a slight aftertaste, but when used in a recipe you only get the honey taste. We have dogs and cats and I refuse to have Xylitol in the house - accidents can too easily happen.

I use the All-U-Lose honey for my honey mustard dressing.

Little piece of advice for those hard to read labels, take a picture of it and blow it up on your phone. I have only found the natures hollow ‘honey’ where I am in Canada. It is supposed to be refrigerated after opening and it has clumps of crystallized sweetener. For $8 for that tiny container Id expect better product. Taste wise its okay IMO but Im not a fan of xylitol either.

I totally love following a former, recovering “foodie”. In my mind, it gives you instant credibility! You have never let me down with product reviews and recipes. Love the following up with the blood tests. My husband has type 2 diabetes, has lost 50 lbs and as long as he sticks to the plan, is off nearly all medications. I’m working on weight loss and getting off my high blood pressure medication. I love 💕 how I feel on Keto, the foods are delicious and satisfying AND I find that my former “go to favorites” no longer taste that great anymore. Thanks for all you do. You are a great couple!!!

You both are sooo cute... love to see the love ❤️ and not apologizing for it!! Thanks for the video... awesome & Blessings 🌞

Hey Steve! Re: small print labels If you have an iPhone you can make it work as a magnifier. Just go into settings. Then when you click the power button 3 times it turns into a magnifier. Very useful! Also, you and Terry had a very relaxed and happy, laid back vibe. I think the no-kids thing agrees with you!

PB and Honey sandwich here I come! Thanks for posting.

I never bring anything with xylitol into the house because of how deadly it is to dogs 🐶. I.appreciate you guys doing this taste test. I miss honey in tea

You two are adorable!! If we all had this kind of relationship after the kids left, the world would be a better place. I love Teri’s no nonsense approach. She doesn’t treat it like a wine tasting, but we love Steve’s attention to detail. Blessings you two!

Flatout to the point and informative. A hallmark of this channel.

Your strategic choice of danger pinata tshirt for this honey video was thoroughly entertaining and appreciated! And you guys are so stinkin cute together!

Love seeing you two. Especially enjoyed your opening quips.

Great video! We really appreciate you two doing this!

I'm looking forward to see how each of these react in recipes. As always, thanks for the information.

I’m so glad for you guys in the new phase of your life.

Thank you Steve and Terry, I truly value your reviews! I find them vert honest and reliable💖

Thanks for doing this. Looks promising. Looking forward to your other videos on these products.

More compelling content from Steve and Terri! Just the other day I was thinking about keto honey- thanks for this timely dynamic duo episode!

Appreciate your reviews, & was excited about this one. Looking forward to those 37 recipes you mentioned. 😜

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Can hardly wait to see your honey-based recipes.

Laughed out loud at your shirt Steve! Love your channel, Terri added a lot to this episode.

Thank you! Was actually looking at some brands yesterday and as usual, you did the heavy lifting for us. I just used your link to order.

You two are adorable! I love that you both do reviews. Your different perspectives really helps in understanding the products and what I might like or not like about them. Thank you!!!

Steve and Terri, Love seeing you both in a video. Thanks again for helping narrow down the choices. I have pets so some are completely out!! Waiting on the recipes to try. Great show:)

We come for the videos and stay for the t-shirts! Lol. You've got an awesome shirt wardrobe! Seriously, best videos ever!

Love when you have your family in your videos

I enjoy your reviews with you and your wife. Thank you.

Thank you Steve, as always you you give us just what we need, even if we didn't realize we needed it. First thing I'm making is honey mustard vinaigrette. And we love seeing Terri - such a sweetheart!

Hey Steve! I'm new to your channel and I love it. I'm now binge watching while working, lol. You're so entertaining and funny and your shirts make me laugh. You are so methodical in your tests and recipes. I love that you're in your own kitchen with "real" tools and appliances we all use. Thanks for putting out great content. I just joined as a channel member and I've never done that on RU-vid before if that means anything. Peace!

Thank you Steve & Terry for this review! I'm not big on eating honey off a spoon however as you stated there are many recipes that are now an option. I'm looking forward to your future recipes with this substitute.

I've been following you since you began. Although I'm not keto, I enjoy watching you and your family. I love all the research, analysis, and organizational skills. I'm exactly the same way. It's fun to watch someone be as geeky 🤓 as me. I'm glad you kept going when you were thinking of quitting. I look forward to your upcoming honey videos!

Thank you for the review, I have an unopened wholesome yum honey in my cupboard and I'm glad to hear you liked it. I have used the wholesome yum pancake syrup on both my family and a Puerto Rican friend of my sons without them knowing and everybody loved it on their pancakes.

Thank you for this video Steve. Looking forward to finding out if any behave like honey in recipes.

As a Type II Diabetic who is also pregnant. Thank you SO MUCH for making this video!!!!

So excited for some keto honey recipes!!!

Related to other vids where you said people bash you for trying things. I love how you go out of your way to be very transparent and clear. Can't see why someone would call you out. As far as the honey WIN WIN ! Once again your vids are making me salivate and can't wait to get to my kitchen reno.

I'm so happy your wife joined......so nice to see....: )

Terri, made the right choice. The nature's honey is what I use for all my recipes and I use it when I wrap my ribs. Good stuff.

TY 4 this review! Nature's Hollow is the only one I've been able to find in Canada (first discovered on Amazon, then found it at much better price at Sugar-free and More Store in Edmonton), so now if the others show up, i know not to bother with them. So this is very helpful to me!

Ohhhh I forgot you did side by sides with your wife. I watched a few of these a year or 2 ago and remember enjoying them. We have only actually been watching Carbs and wheat for 2 weeks. Love the honesty this keto channel provides. Hope your wife feels better soon.

Yes yes yes yes! Honey! I’ll definitely try one or two of these! Thanks guys another great review.

Hi Steve & Terri! Thanks for your review I appreciate it very much. I'm not to a point where I can afford that amount of carbs yet but will file the information away for future use.

Thanks so much for the review! I have only tried Nature's Hollow. I like to mix it with a bit of yogurt and nut granola, and I find that it mixes in well. It does crystallize rapidly once refrigerated...squeezing it out is now a feat that requires a hot water soak and a vigorous shake. I look forward to trying the Wholesome Yum "honey" next.

Thanks Steve and Terry. I don't use honey much, but miss it in my tea. I've tried the Allulose. It wasn't great. I won't use xylatol. so i'm gonna try the Wholesome Yum. Thanks again.

Again need to thank you, and Terri for doing all the work for us! I thought you might get a kick out of the fact that my husband wants to try the peaches and cream KetoChow. He's of the opinion that he's not going to just blindly go along with your choices the way I do! Muhaaha

Thank you for this review. I don’t use xylitol in my food at all as I get abdominal cramps, I only use it in my home made mouth wash

Great video!!! I really enjoy watching you and the little Mrs. Have you tried activating yeast with these. I use inulin now but it doesn't work as well as honey. Please do a video showing this.

I tried the Nature's Hollow and one other one called Pyure Harmless Hunny. It contains soluble tapioca fiber and is sweetened with Stevia. They were both OK, but not something I would crave. Thanks for the review.

THANK YOU STEVE! Sorry for the yelling. I had no idea there are Keto honeys. I was never much of a fan of real honey but once in a while... a little taste of it was nice. They are expensive but I will not drink them like soda either. Thanks Steve. Terry's reviews are helpful. Non Keto tastebuds are different. I don't remember what normal food tastes like so I cant compare but Terry can.

Could WONF mean without natural flavors? Just a guess.

take a picture with your phone of the ingredients and then zoom in, it works.

Y'all are so fun to watch!👍💞

Thanks for the eye opener! I too had no idea there’s keto “honey”. What a great revelation! If it hasn’t been asked for: honey mustard dressing, please! 🙏

This helped me a lot. Thank you.

Thank you Steve and Terri. I’ve fell off the keto train a few months ago and having such a difficult time getting back on. I am convinced it’s sugar that’s causing me not to start keto again and I can’t remember what I done in the beginning to satisfy my sugar cravings, I think I am gonna have to go back and find some videos on how to start keto all over again.

Glad you are considering a future video with allulose and fruit. Hope you pick a fruit that would normally be a bs spiker (like mangos - miss them so much) and not strawberries like T Delauer did. Thanks.

Love to watch you 2 you're great together Terry seem to be getting more comfortable in front of the camera

Natures Hollow, is My favorite, Its the closest I have tasted to real Honey, I use it in making Honey Mustard sauce, its its really good

Terri. I love your tee.

Hi Steve, thank you for the quality content you create ❤ Xylitol has a delayed effect on blood sugar levels (similar to sorbitol and maltitol) because about 50% of its carbohydrates become active after +/- 4 hours 🙈 Disrupts the balance because it has a surprising effect >> like a 'postpone check' on a bank account (and yes, also affects the digestive system). l 'm a tipe 1 diabetic

Great review as always. Thank you both! This is going to open a lot of recipe doors; I can't wait to see what you come up with! Caution dog owners: Xylitol is extremely toxic to dogs even in small doses.

I've been wondering how the honey substitutes were. Thanks for being the guinea pig!

TIP / TRICK When I cannot read very fine print (like on some ingredient-lists), I use the camera on my phone and use the zoom-function to read the text. I agree with you general disappointment with ridiculously-small print, but also wanted to offer an tangible, practical solution for when you feel like you 'need' to see the ingredients. Thanks, Eric

I'm not going to lie. At the very start of the video I had to pause to read the sign that was posted on the vac seal. Took me a bit to make it out, but it was fun figuring it out.

I like Pyure Harmless Hunny. Haven't tried these versions.

It would be great to have a honey option for cooking and putting in tea and every day usage

Ty for your reviews. Do have a place somewhere that you post a quick reference grid/list of your review results?

Good to see you and Terry doing a comparison video. I've wondered about the keto honeys. I wish wonder if there is a recipe for making keto honey at home.

I like when you have your wife on the show you can tell the products that taste the most “normal” by what she likes because she doesnt follow a keto diet So they must taste close to the original 👍

Natures hollow makes my favorite sugar free strawberry preserves.

I’ve only used Natures Hollow really like it because it’s thick and great in recipes. Xylitol doesn’t affect me though.

I cannot wait to see follow up recipes :) I cannot have too much xylitol for the same reasons you can’t 😂. Love your shirts!!!

All-u-lose maple syrup is my fav besides homemade.

I was using Pyure brand “honey”, but they’ve quit making it... I tried the All-U-Lose, but it’s just flavored water to me... then I found the Wholesome Yum... it feels AND tastes like HONEY!!! it now resides on my dining table lazy susan, and I eat it almost every breakfast, drizzled on one of my homemade oat fiber buns, that I’ve toasted, and spread with peanut butter... pnb&h!!! I never thought I’d be able to indulge in that combo ever again in my life, and it doesn’t spike me...❤️

I agree with Terri. Nature’s Hollow is delicious. Since do not have any pets at this time, it is my go to.

Steve. Your tee is hilarious. And true!

I just saw the wholesome Yum At Sprouts. I tried reading the back but between the color of the writing and one the lab l and the size, I decide to look it up online to review. Idk who thought of that kind of label.

🖐❤Hi Steve & Teri, Thank You so much for this honey review. I loved honey in my tea but haven't had that in years. I am SoOoo Excited and Thankful 🤗 Grace, Peace, Big HugS and much love to you both❣ Ps. perhaps a magnifying glass might help read the labels 😁👍 Question: lol Umm curious to know why you know what burnt rubber taste like 🤪😂 Have a Blessed day❣

I forgot to add to my previous comment that if you put the nature's hollow honey in the microwave it makes it thinner and easier to pour. It also has to be kept in the refrigerator After opening so microwaving it is a must.

The only one I've tried is the Nature's Hollow bc at that time, it was really the only one on the market. I'll try the Wholesome Yum one, I think.

This was good....enjoyed...

Hi Steve... I recently adapted an old Weight Watcher recipe called Honey Pecan Chicken using the Nature's Hollow honey and your breading recipe to substitute for corn flakes. The honey wasn't as sweet as regular honey so I added some swerve. It came out almost identical to the original recipe. I too am not thrilled that it has the xylitol, however it doesn't seem to affect my stomach and Believe it or not I am allergic to Allulose. More products seem to be using allulose for sweetener these days. I agree it tastes great in baked goods, but I feel like I'm going to pass out within 30 seconds after eating it. Keep up the reviews... Very informative and appreciated.

I was not surprised at your blood glucose readings as allulose lowers blood sugar!

Great video! Thank you! Incidentally, since you didn't care for either the super thin nor thick textures, you could always try mixxing them together to see what you get, or even all three! Again, thank you for all your great work!! P.S. How are we coming on the caramels?

I was glad to find this review! I have a honey dependent holiday recipe that I"d like to ketofy. I have a question that all your research might've found the answer to. You talked about xylitol effects... It hits me the same way. Same with allulose. (Your Wonderful caramel sauce made me pay for a full day : O but I was home so I et the whole recipe anyhoo ) They both feel to my guts like sorbitol. Which raises my blood sugar as much as SUGAR sugar. Does anybody know - if your gut reacts badly, does it follow that your blood sugar is reacting badly also? Even though these sugar subs are technically not Supposed to?

Thanks again for a great review. You mentioned honey for BBQ sauce. Have you seen the No Sugar Added Sweet Baby Ray's? They have about 4 varieties using allulose and they are AWESOME. And they are priced very nicely. Usually about $3.50 for 18.5 oz bottle but I got it on sale at Shop Rite for $2.19

Take a picture of the label with your phone and the enlarge it. It works🙂

We do not have dogs, but I had made a decision on principle not to buy ingredients like xylitol that could accidentally kill pets. (Even though it's in most of our toothpaste products, including the one I need to use.) Then, a friend gave me Nature's Hollow Mountain Berry jam and I was pretty impressed. At the holidays, I took advantage of a 50% off "TRY ME" coupon code and ordered their sampler jam package of 6 flavors, the honey, the ketchup and the bbq sauce. My favorites in this order: The jams The honey Mediocre to me: The ketchup, the bbq This honey....it was a dark horse win for me. I really didn't even need a honey substitute. No aftertaste at all. I love that I now have a quick liquid, neutral sweetener like this. It's become kind of that go-to squirt into an entree, a dressing, a mayo-based salad like cole slaw where I want a quick hit of sweetness. Even for marinara sauce where the sauce tastes a tad too acidic. Regarding honey texture and appearance....I never noticed the issues mentioned in the video. I have no issues with mouth-feel, appearance, cooling, etc. I actually like that it's thick, that means I can squeeze it into something and not worry about making that something runny. That's especially great when making bbq sauce or a meat glaze, because a lot of the ingredients (like vinegar) are very runny. I am grateful to have something that doesn't spike my blood sugar and adds an option to my pantry. For those interested in the jams by this company (a review, Steve?) The apricot jam, I would buy, even ahead of many regular sugar brands. I believe all of the jams are just 2-3 net carbs per T. I don't eat a lot of jam, but I have found that the flavor is good enough that one T is more than enough for me on keto toast. No weird tastes. I use the apricot for glazing meats, desserts and on keto toast. I gave the sampler box of 6 as gifts and one low-carb/keto couple has reordered multiple times. The strawberry and raspberry do not have impressive coloration, but the taste is nice and I know it's at least one of my friends' favorite. Others love the Mountain Berry & The Peach. My favorite is strongly in camp apricot....a flavor not easy to get on keto.

I can only get the Nature's Hollow stuff and the taste is OK but it's over thickened and is very difficult to dissolve. I am a bit paranoid about having xylitol in the house. I don't think I'll re-order it

Wish we could easily get allulose over here really interested in its caramalisation properties, seems that it hasn't been approved yet, so we can only import through ebay/amazon, which is expensive. Hate how 95% of low/zero cal syrups are way way to runny. Like horrible glue, it's the only one with honey consistency, honey is extremely thick. But slime is an issue.

First - I feel the same way about small print and white letters on black background. Just = No! As usual, Terry's face says it all. I find that most "keto" reviewers approach products "hoping" that they taste good. I appreciate the non-keto perspective. That said - thanks again for another great video!

Try mixing them together in different combos perhaps?

Hey Steve have u tried testing the Low carb balance tortillas from Mission?

Your “Honey” did a honey review with you! 😃

Now we wait to hear if the xylitol upset Your innards; praying it doesn't. It has always been my go to Best sweetener. Only one I will use in my coffee where MUST be NO taste. Though I have a friend who swears it tastes artificial to her with an after taste. Thank You Terri! I'm heading to 'the amazon' ;-) & ordering from Your store!! I'm sold!! If the texture is too gross maybe I can cut with RX sugar plain allulose syrup?? Love their maple one too! Yes wholesomeyum is better but a LOT more expensive. Though I can't see just eating honey these days with my sweet need mostly dormant; will just be in recipes. GREAT review!! MORE blessings upon You all!!

Tell Terry I love her tshirt.! Cute.

When the print is too small for me, I end up taking a picture of it with my phone and enlarge it. Or if I really am interested I will check out the website.

My cheat on reading tiny print is to take a picture with my phone and then enlarge it on my screen. People do look at me funny when I do that at the grocery store.

Thanks for the review. Have u done one on keto maple syrup substitute? I have 3 different ones. I would like to see that. I should do a review!
