1. Top 10 Low Carb & Keto Fruits

These top 10 Low Carb fruits have a relatively low carbohydrate count and can be used in a variety of different ways to prepare delicious keto desserts without all the sugar.

1. Raspberries
   Raspberries are a great choice for a low carb or keto diet as they only contain about 4.8g net carbs per 100g (3.5oz).
   They can be used to make dozens of delicious keto desserts, for example, keto raspberry macadamia cookies or a creamy raspberry “cheesecake” in a jar.
2. Strawberries
   Strawberries are one of the best choices if you would like to eat some fruit on a low carb diet, as they only contain about 5.5g net carbs per 100g (3.5oz).
   You can also make great strawberry keto desserts – how about a slice of keto strawberry pie or a scoop of keto strawberry ice cream?
3. Blueberries
   Blueberries have about 7.4g net carbs per 100g (3.5oz) and are thus a bit higher in carbs than other berries.
   Fortunately, you only need a handful of blueberries to make delicious keto blueberry recipes like this keto blueberry mug cake.
4. Blackberries
   Blackberries are just as versatile as raspberries or strawberries in the low carb kitchen.
   With only 4.9g net carbs per 100g (3.5oz) they also have one of the lowest carb counts of all low carb fruits.
5. Red Currants

Red currants are a bit higher in carbs if compared to other low carb berries (7.3g net carbs per 100g
or 3.5oz), but it’s difficult to eat a large amount at once.
Similar to blueberries, they are a great way to spice up your sweet low carb snacks with some slight acidity.

6. Lemons
   Lemons have about 6.5g net carbs per 100g (3.5oz) and eating them as a snack is definitely a challenge.
   However, lemons are a true low carb kitchen staple as they can be used as an ingredient in salad dressings, for a bit of extra flavor in your sparkling water or as an ingredient in delicious low carb desserts like this keto lemon curd cheesecake in a jar.
7. Passion Fruits
   Passion fruits contain about 13.4g net carbs per 100g (3.5oz) and are thus quite a bit higher in carbs compared to the other fruits mentioned above.
   But thanks to its’ high acidity, it’s difficult to eat a large amount of passion fruit at once and a single passion fruit is the perfect serving size that’ll allow you to indulge without getting kicked out of ketosis.
   You can also enjoy it in form of a low carb dessert, like this keto passion fruit cheesecake in a jar.
8. Coconut
   Coconuts (4.8g net carbs per 100g or 3.5oz) are probably not the first thought when it comes to delicious and sweet fruit.
   But even though it doesn’t taste as sweet as other fruits, it can be used as an ingredient for yummy keto desserts.
   Popular coconut recipes are our keto coconut macaroons and our keto coconut ice cream.
9. Peaches
   With about 8.9g net carbs per 100g (3.5oz), peaches are a bit higher in carbs than other low carb fruits and should not be eaten without limit.
   But a small amount of peaches can surely fit into your carb goal for the day.
10. Kiwis
    One kiwi is the perfect serving size if you want to snack on a sweet fruit without breaking your carb limit.
    With about 10.8g net carbs per 100g (3.5oz) they’re definitely higher in carbs compared to other low carb fruits, but a small serving won’t kick you out of ketosis.
    Tip: Never mix kiwis with dairy products! Kiwis contain enzymes that make dairy products bitter and unenjoyable.
