Due to their natural sugar content, fruits tend to be restricted on a keto diet however, low-carb fruits and berries can be consumed in moderation. Berries such as strawberries, raspberries and blueberries have relatively low carbohydrates and are high in antioxidants. Other low carb fruit with plenty of nutrients include avocados and tomatoes.

Certain dairy products can also be consumed in a keto diet. Choose full-fat options such as cheese, heavy ceram and Greek yoghurt which are all rich in healthy fats and protein whilst having a low carbohydrates content. It is very important to choose products with low added sugars or artificial additives.

Seeds and nuts are rich in fibre, healthy fats and nutrients. Consume raw or dry-roasted varieties of almonds, flaxseeds, walnuts or chia seeds which can be great for snacking or to complement meals. However, be mindful of portion sizes as they are calorie-dense.
