In this post of Keto Discovery, I will talk about a Belgian brand: Okono.
In Keto Discovery I write about keto-friendly products or services, available in the Netherlands and/or Europe. I will report my honest experience and opinion, so that can be useful for all of you.
Okono – 100% keto-friendly nutrition
Okono, a company focused on 100% keto-friendly nutrition. From the website:
OKONO is derived from the Japanese ‘Okonau’ which means ‘to perform’. Our high-quality products are designed to support your performance throughout the day and facilitate a healthy lifestyle.
The founder is Luka Bresseel. He started the company with the goal to support people following a keto lifestyle by providing healthy snacks. The company is also passionate about helping people reduce their sugar intake.
The products
Okono doesn’t have a large range of products, but has the right ones.
Chocolate boxes available in 5 flavours plus a Variety box
Granola available in 3 flavors
Breadmix a mix of seeds that you can mix to bake your bread
Pure MCT oil 80% C8 and 20% C10
They also sell for a special price a starter pack, that contain all these products.
The ingredients
The ingredients in Okono’s products are free from sugar, gluten, lactose, and soy. The whole assortment is vegan. They write all the ingredients on the website, so you can check them before you complete the purchase.
The macros
All the products are keto-friendly. The nutritional values are on their website. The macros are keto-legit.
The shipping
Okono ships to Belgium and Netherlands. They ship very fast: I did my order in the morning and the next day I received the package.
My experience
I have ordered a Variety Box Chocolate, so I could try all the flavors. I love chocolate and I trust the Belgian quality. The 5 flavors are:
75% Dark Chocolate Cacao Nibs
70% Dark Chocolate Chilli
42% Vegan White Chocolate Macadamia Nuts
70% Dark Coffee Chocolate with MCT
58% Vegan Milk Chocolate
Small hint: if you don’t want to spend more than 30 euro for try each taste, order a single tablet from Afvallen met Bregje. In the website they have also the test pack, so you can order this and more things, and you could avoid shipping costs.
A variety pack contains 2 bars of each flavor, so 10 bars in total. Each bar weighs 50 grams. The carbs per bar differ from 0,5 to 1,5 Net Carbs.
The chocolate is tasty and my favorite is the white chocolate with Macadamia nuts. The most particular is the one with chili.
I didn’t order the MCT oil because as of now I am happy with the oil I am using right now. I don’t eat granola but next time I will give it a try. And for sure next time I will order the bread mix.
Okono chocolate VS Funky Fat Foods
When I ordered the Okono Chocolate I was wondering about the differences between these two brands. The main difference is that the all the chocolate from Funky Fat Foods has MCT oil in it, while Okono chocolate contains MCT only in the coffee flavour. For the rest, the chocolates are both tasty and practical as a snack on the go.
Final conclusions
Okono is without any doubt a pleasant keto discovery. I expect this company to grow in the near future, adding more and more snacks. The starter pack is a great deal for those who are starting a keto diet, especially because they have their own MCT. The tastes of the chocolates are very original and I will order more.
