IS WATERMELON KETO FRIENDLY?
Watermelon can be consumed in moderation on a keto diet, as it contains natural sugars that can increase carb intake. However, it is relatively low in net carbs compared to other fruits and can be included as part of a well-balanced keto diet.
One cup of diced watermelon (152g) contains approximately 11 grams of carbs and 0.6 grams of fiber, resulting in a net carb count of around 10.4 grams. While this might seem high for a keto diet, it can still fit within a daily carb limit, depending on individual needs and goals.
INGREDIENTS
Just 2 ingredients make this easy keto mimosa recipe. Fresh watermelon and a chilled bottle of something bubbly.
Add a dash of lime juice for a sharper flavor.
HOW TO MAKE KETO WATERMELON MIMOSA
