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. ;)) I recommend taking advantage of its high healthy fat and fiber content, and enjoying 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.

Coconuts are loaded with healthy fats and fiber, and I love that they’re versatile for sweet or savory dishes.

While you can enjoy them fresh, I primarily use coconut milk, coconut cream, coconut flakes, and coconut flour for baking. Just keep in mind that coconut flour 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.

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.

Higher-sugar citrus (like oranges) doesn’t always make the list of keto friendly fruits, but lemon does! You only need a little bit to add flavor.

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. I use them a lot for Mexican recipes in particular!

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

I’ve never seen raw monk fruit at the store, as it’sprimarily used to make sweeteners — and 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.

Confession time: I don’t love olives (though I do love olive oil), so I don’t have many recipes with them! But, feel free to request them and I might make an exception. 😉

Raspberries have more fiber than any other keto fruit! Since they’re lower carb than most berries, they’re equally ideal for snacking on their own as well as in recipes.

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

Strawberries are surprisingly keto-friendly! With their carb content offset by natural fibers (and lots of vitamin C), you can enjoy these sweet treats in moderation. Just watch your portion size!

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

Yes, tomatoes are keto friendly fruits, not veggies! Whether you cook with them or enjoy them raw, they add so much flavor (and a light sweetness) to every dish.

Tomatoes have 4.8g net carbs per 1 cup serving. They’re also high in lycopene, an antioxidant.
