Eating enough vegetables is a key part of the Ketogenic diet. Here are some of Keyto’s favorite vegetables for you to add to your plate today:<\/strong><\/p>\n Vegetables are absolutely crucial to maintaining a healthy balance on the Keto diet. They are rich in essential vitamins and minerals and most that grow above ground are also full of fiber, meaning the net carb count is low.<\/p>\n Here are the 10 best low-carb vegetables for Keto:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Broccoli<\/strong><\/p>\n With 4 grams of net carbs per cup, broccoli is an excellent vegetable to complement your keto meals.\u00a0Packed full of vitamins C and K, broccoli is believed to lower insulin resistance, especially in type 2 diabetes.<\/span>[i]<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>Other research suggests that it also protects against certain cancers.<\/span>[ii]<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>[iii]\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>From creamy broccoli soup to cheesy broccoli casserole, there are a number of exciting things you can do with this vegetable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cauliflower<\/strong><\/p>\n Cauliflower is one of the best low-carb vegetables for the Ketogenic diet. It’s very low in carbs with only 2grams of net carbs per cup and, like broccoli, it’s also high in vitamins C and K. There’s also some evidence it can help lower the risk of heart disease and certain cancers\u00a0iv].<\/a>\u00a0 Use it to create Keto friendly versions of rice, mashes, and pizza crusts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Avocado<\/strong><\/p>\n Technically, avocados are a fruit, but because they\u2019re often substituted in place of other vegetables on the Keto diet, we’re including them on the best vegetables list. Naturally high in healthy fats, avocados are an excellent way to increase your fat intake. Additionally, one cup of avocado contains only 3 grams of net carbs, making this one of the healthiest natural foods to consume in a low-carb high-fat diet. Finally, thanks to the avocado\u2019s high monounsaturated fat content, avocados are thought to help lower bad cholesterol. They\u2019re also high in potassium and vitamin C.[v]<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Zucchini<\/strong><\/p>\n With only 3 grams of net carbs per cup, zucchinis are an excellent vegetable to include in your weekly rotation. They’re also an excellent way to naturally get more vitamin C. Use them in stir fries\u00a0and\/or as a noodle replacement.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mushrooms<\/strong><\/p>\n Mushrooms are a fantastic way to add flavor and texture to Keto dishes. They’re one of the best low-carb vegetables out there with only 1 gram of net carbs per cup and they’ve been found to have amazing anti-inflammatory properties, especially amongst those with metabolic syndrome\u00a0[vii]<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Mushroom stroganoff, mushroom cauliflower rice risotto, stuffed Portobello mushrooms, and saut\u00e9ed buttery garlic mushrooms are just a few delicious mushroom dishes to add to your rotation.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Asparagus<\/strong><\/p>\n With only 4 grams of net carbs to every cup, asparagus is the perfect vegetable addition to any meal. It’s delicious steamed and slathered in grass-fed butter or wrapped in bacon and smothered with aioli. You can also chop it up and add to stir fries or simply bake it.\u00a0Packed with vitamins A, C, and K. It’s also believed to help lower anxiety levels while protecting brain health.[viii]<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Spinach<\/strong><\/p>\n Spinach is everything you want in a leafy green vegetable for Keto. It has 3 grams of net carbs for every cup of cooked spinach and almost no carbs when raw. It’s an excellent way to bulk up your meals and has a ton of vitamins and minerals. You can use it as your salad base, add to stir-fries, saut\u00e9 in oil or create high-fat creamed spinach.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Green Bell Peppers<\/strong><\/p>\n Bell peppers, specifically green bell peppers, are low in carbs, very nutritious, and packed with a ton of vitamin A. They also contain numerous anti-inflammatory properties thanks to the many carotenoids in them. They contain 5 grams of net carbs per cup. Also, don\u2019t be afraid to add color with its more colorful counterparts, as the net carb count per cup is only slightly higher at 6 grams net carbs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kale<\/strong><\/p>\n At 6 net grams per cup, Kale is on the higher end of the Keto friendly vegetables so be careful. It’s great to use in salad, stir-fries, and soups. It’s packed with loads of vitamin A and C and has been found to protect against heart disease and certain cancers.[xii]<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Celery<\/strong><\/p>\n Celery is super keto friendly. Every 100 grams of raw celery equates to around 1.5 grams of net carbs so you can eat a lot of it. It\u00a0provides you with excellent sources of antioxidants, essential minerals and vitamins like potassium, folate, and vitamins B6, C and K.[xiii]\u00a0<\/a>Feel free to snack on celery throughout the day and if you want to add to the fat macros, dip it in homemade guacamole or a keto-friendly nut butter.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [i]<\/a> https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.3109\/09637486.2012.665043<\/a><\/p>\n [ii]<\/a> https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0305737210000174<\/a><\/p>\n [iii]<\/a> https:\/\/www.actahort.org\/members\/showpdf?booknrarnr=841_20<\/a><\/p>\n [iv]<\/a> https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S000282230000420X<\/a><\/p>\n [v]<\/a> http:\/\/54.251.36.70\/apsc.public\/resources\/pdf\/19.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n [vii]<\/a> https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1023\/A:1025564930088<\/a><\/p>\n [viii]<\/a> https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s10571-014-0035-z<\/a><\/p>\n <\/a>[xii]<\/a> https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/01635580903191585<\/a><\/p>\n [xiii]<\/a> https:\/\/pubs.acs.org\/doi\/abs\/10.1021\/jf960339y<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Keyto Takeaway Eating enough vegetables is a key part of the Ketogenic diet.
