Is Hollandaise sauce Keto?

This is the question that is on many people’s minds these days? We all know that there is nothing like a good sauce with eggs benedict, but is it keto-friendly? It is true that most types of sauces are not necessarily low in carbs or calories, and this includes an egg yolk-enriched hollandaise sauce. There are ways to make your favourite meals keto-friendly by adjusting small things like adding more healthy fats (e.g., avocado) instead of breadcrumbs for crunchy texture or using almond milk instead of cream in your coffee drinks.

This dip is low carb high fat, and the best part is that is quick to make.
