Hello World! Welcome Friends! For those of us who enjoy eating meat and cheese for almost any meal, ketogenic diets sound like a small piece of heaven.
However, being on a ketogenic diet for a longer period of time can sometimes feel a bit heavy on our metabolisms. Along with some healthy ketogenic supplements, you will want to include some keto-friendly fruits to shake things up a bit as well.
Luckily, there are 10 low-carb fruits that you can enjoy while staying in ketosis that we have included in our today’s list. If you are curious about other keto-friendly fruits, check them out here.
Strawberries
Strawberries, just like most berries, are what we call a keto superfood. Not only are they tasty and sweet, but they can be used for a variety of fruit salads, milkshakes, and different beverages.
Though they are not as low in carbs as you may expect them to be, as long as you are using a moderate amount of them, you will be able to stay in ketosis.
A cup of strawberries contains 11g of total carbs, 7g of sugar, 3g of fiber and 8g of net carbs.
Watermelon
This summer fruit is high in vitamin A and makes you feel full for a longer period of time than most of its counterparts. Watermelon is refreshing, healthy and can be a great ingredient for just about any summer drink you can think of!
A cup of watermelon slices contains 11g of total carbs, 9g of sugar, 0.5g of fiber and 10.5g of net carbs.
Peaches
Surprisingly enough, peaches actually have a low carb count, in spite of their sweetness and savory taste. They can also be mixed up with a number of other keto superfruits in order to make a tasty fruit salad.
A cup of peach slices contains 15g of total carbs, 13g of sugar, 2.5g of fiber and 12.5g of net carbs.
Cantaloupe
Another great summer fruit that you can indulge in either as a snack or to make some delicious smoothies and is also high in vitamins is cantaloupe!
A cup of diced cantaloupe contains 13g of total carbs, 12g of sugar, 1.5g of fiber and 11.5g of net carbs.
Avocado
Though you probably did not expect to see avocados on this list, mostly due to the fact that they are not as sweet as other fruits, they can still be considered a superfruit (botanically, at least).
Avocados have an interesting consistency and a neutral flavor, so they can be used as a spread, in smoothies or even in soups. Check out these 33 awesome keto-friendly avocado recipes!

A cup of blueberries contains 21g of total carbs, 15g of sugar, 4g of fiber and 17g of net carbs.
Plums
As you already know, plums are more than beneficial for your digestion and can be used to make a healthy savory juice. Due to its unique taste, it can also be used as an ingredient in a variety of different meals.
A cup of plum slices contains 19g of total carbs, 16g of sugar, 2.5g of fiber and 16.5g of net carbs.
Lemons
Citrus fruits, in general, can be used as a ”dressing” in a lot of meals or can be used to dress up your plain tea/seltzer water, and lemons are definitely not an exception.
A lemon contains 5.5g of total carbs, 1.5g of sugar, 1.5g of fiber and 4g of net carbs.
Nectarines
Even though nectarines have quite a sweet flavor, they are still low in carbs. Nectarines are a great choice for making fruit salads, homemade ice cream and countless other desserts.
A cup of nectarine slices contains 15g of total carbs, 11g of sugar, 2.5g of fiber and 12.5g of net carbs.
Oranges
Similar to lemons in shape and size, oranges can be used as a dressing for some types of meat, but what more would you need than a glass of cold orange juice, really?
A cup of orange slices contains 1g of total carbs, 17g of sugar, 4.5g of fiber and 16.5g of net carbs.
