Keto Fruits

Avocado is the most keto friendly fruit of all! (In fact, I love avocados so much that they are part of the Wholesome Yum logo. ;)) Take advantage of its high healthy fat and fiber content, and enjoy it more frequently than other fruits.

Avocado is one of the few fruits where moderation is not really necessary for a keto lifestyle. Avocados have only 1.8g net carbs per 1/2 avocado serving, and plenty of healthy fats.

Blackberries are easy to portion control, making them ideal keto fruits. They taste best in easy desserts, or on their own as a snack.

Blackberries have 3.1g net carbs per 1/2 cup serving.

Blueberries are one of the best fruits for keto if you watch your portions – they do contain more carbs than most keto fruit options. I like using them in keto desserts and other baked goods for a burst of natural sweetness.

Blueberries have 8.9g net carbs per 1/2 cup serving.

Coconuts are loaded with healthy fats and fiber. Use them in sweet or savory dishes for a tropical flair. You can also use coconut flour for baking, just keep in mind that it absorbs a lot of moisture, so needs special coconut flour recipes to work — don’t try to replace other flours with it.

Raw coconut flesh has 2.5g net carbs per 1/2 cup serving, while coconut flour has 2g net carbs per serving. Coconut flakes, dessicated coconut, and coconut milk are also keto friendly. Just check the labels to ensure there is no added sugar.

While processed cranberry products often contain lots of added sugar, cranberries by themselves are a naturally low carb fruit.

Raw cranberries have 4.6g net carbs per 1/2 cup serving.

Citrus doesn’t always make the list of keto friendly fruits, but lemon does! You only need a little bit to add lots of flavor to sweet and savory dishes.

One whole lemon has 5.4g net carbs. You can also use the zest which is virtually net carb free (0.1g per teaspoon).

Limes are keto fruits, too. One squeeze adds delicious taste to anything!

One whole lime has 5.2g net carbs. Similarly to lemons, you can use lime zest freely.

Although you can eat monk fruit, it is primarily used to make sweeteners rather than being eaten in its whole fruit form. It’s the primary ingredient in all of my Besti Sweeteners!

Monk fruit extract (and Besti sweetener) has 0 net carbs, as its mogrosides – the sweetening compounds – are not absorbed by the body, so there are no carbohydrates or calories.

Olives have a similar fat and fiber content to avocados, in a much smaller package. They’re easy to snack on or chop up for savory recipes!

Olives have 2.2g net carbs per 1/2 cup serving.

I’m going to tell you a secret… I don’t love olives (though I do love olive oil!), so I don’t have many recipes with olives on the blog! But, feel free to request them and I just might make an exception. 😉

Raspberries have more fiber than any other keto fruit… but you won’t be able to tell in these sweet recipes. Since they are lower carb than most berries, they are also ideal for snacking on their own.

Raspberries have 3.3g net carbs per 1/2 cup serving.

Strawberries, while containing carbs, are surprisingly keto-friendly! With their carb content offset by natural fibers, you can enjoy these sweet treats in moderation. Just be sure to watch your serving size!

Strawberries have about 8.5 net carbs per 1-cup serving (about 8 berries). Pair them with a keto fruit dip for a simple low carb snack!

Yes, tomatoes are considered a fruit — and yes, they are keto friendly fruits! Whether you cook with them or enjoy them raw, they add a light sweetness to every dish.

Tomatoes have 4.8g net carbs per 1 cup serving.
