Peaches

Ain't it peachy? In the keto world, unfortunately not. As much as you might crave this sweet, fuzzy fruit, peaches are a poor match for the keto diet.

A single, small peach delivers 12.6 g of net carbs, which would be high for an entire meal, let alone a simple snack. And canned peaches? Don't even think about it. They're often stored in sugary syrup, driving the carb count even higher.

Alternatives

Unfortunately, only a few fruits have a low enough carb count to fit the keto diet. Berries tend to be your best bet. Here are a few keto-friendly options:
