IS FRUIT KETO? Answers to questions about fruit allowed on the keto diet

[@terrioakley2250]

I love pumpkin and green beans, I wasn’t aware they were keto friendly 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Thanks for sharing

[@ebgbjo2025]

Will definitely be making the fruit salad! I actually still eat watermelon because you can still have some of almost every fruit as long as you look up nutritional info to know how much carbs are in fruit, and actually all food, are in each gram. I am good with 40-45g of watermelon every so often to satisfy my craving. That's less than 4g carbs (2.8g of NATURE'S natural sugar).

[@Iluviggys]

I use 50g of frozen watermelon cubes in 150ml of soda water (+ sweetener if liked), into a blender and voila, a delicious watermelon slushie!!

Whenever I have tomatoes that are in danger of being "past their use-by" I put them in the freezer whole. Then once in a while when I have a reasonable amount of them, I take them out of the freezer, run under cold water tap for half a minute, and then the skin just comes off so easy!

[@KetoFocus]

That is a great tip! So easy! Thanks for sharing

[@buffetheroes8335]

Changing to a keto lifestyle was sustainable for me because I included berries. It helps me so much. Thank you for your ideas. Xxx

[@jodybogdanovich4333]

Same! I also sneak in 1 kiwi or mandarin orange on occasion. Not checking for ketosis anymore but am listening to my 67-year-old disease-ridden body. Life's too short LOL 🤷‍♀️ Still doing low-carb/healthy fats/lots of veggies/clean eating.

This is one of your best videos. The information is so crucial for healthy eating and Keto diet. Thank you for taking the time and for the recipes.

[@KetoFocus]

Thank you! I will have more coming out like this. Info + recipes

[@JRLB38]

I could absolutely eat more than a cup of berries in one sitting. I've stopped doing it, but I have many times pre-keto and it would be easy to again :(

[@KetoFocus]

Yes, it’s easy to go overboard with the berries

[@daniellelawson1279]

I normally have my fruit in smoothies usually a cup and a half of mixed berries with 1 cup nut milk some chocolate protein powder some cinnamon and maybe canned coconut cream or heavy cream for a more cream texture I will sometimes add some avocado I do low carb I tried keto but found it unsustainable for me I got good results but was unhappy with the limited food Choices trying to stay under 50 carbs so i moved up to low carb between 80 to 95 carbs per day and have found a better balance and happy lifestyle using keto recipes but getting to eat more of it and having wiggle room with fruit

[@ketofriendlymeal9467]

thanks! good idea, worth to try

[@GMAlisa]

You look beautiful today💜gunna try the chicken and avocado today Thank you

[@flowerpixel]

I didn't learn until gardening recently that most "vegetables" are fruits

[@SnowyRVulpix]

Knowledge is knowing tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not using it in fruit salad.

[@judysbakeryandtestkitchen1654]

The cucumber bites sound delicious. I might add some capers! Thanks for the great recipes. I didn’t know most of these were fruits! Pretty blouse

[@KetoFocus]

Thank you! Capers would be a nice addition

[@normamcbride2673]

Another fruit I like to use, especially to make jam, is cranberries. A cup of cranberries (fresh) has 7.6 net carbs.

[@psychicgambler9883]

Throw a meatball, ricotta, a pepperoni slice or two, a tiny spoon of sauce and mozzarella in a pepper (Red in particular), bake that 😋😋😋😋

That sounds delicious 😋

[@ahnaahna7278]

Me too…..but I allow the skins anyway because by then……they are so broken down…..that their contribution to any dish is minimal. Don’t stress the skins…..

The buffalo chicken and avocado recipe looked delicious- UNTIL it was mentioned that the avocado goes into the oven. I find cooked avocados to be not so tasty. I much prefer them raw.

[@KetoFocus]

You can enjoy it raw too as the chicken is cooked. Or just have them separately 😀

[@GothicElf68]

@@KetoFocus THAT sounds very good. I imagine I'd need some kind of tin to bake the chicken in, but that's not a difficult proposition. :-)

[@adassociates8235]

@@KetoFocus Health Benefits of Barberries By WebMD Editorial Contributors Medically Reviewed by Poonam Sachdev on June 23, 2021 Berberis vulgaris, commonly known as barberry, is a family of shrubs that grow around the world. They’re popular with gardeners for their colorful leaves, but some varieties, especially the Japanese barberry, are considered invasive plants. Barberries have a long history in eastern and western traditional medicine for treating various health issues like constipation, heartburn, diarrhea, malaria, and more. Most of the plant can be used, including the bark, root, stem, leaf, as well as the fruit.

It's mid Jan. 2023. Can I use frozen fruit from Costco, and still have a great tasting fruit salad? It seems that every keto friendly recipe I find online is always FRESH fruit, not the FROZEN FRUIT SALAD which I type into the search bar. I also must say that there hasn't been anything telling me to NOT use frozen fruit...

[@Iluviggys]

I wish you wouldn't talk about "cups" as a measurement. It is SO inaccurate, as it depends on whether the thing being measured is small or large (eg, sliced strawberries versus whole) and also, the size of a measuring cup is different depending on where you live! What's so difficult about grams or ounces? Even worse is to refer to a "serve". Totally meaningless!!

[@KetoFocus]

I’m US based as is the majority of my audience. Since I cater to home cooks who mostly use the imperial system, that’s why I speak of cups.
