Keto Low-Carb Vegetables List

12 Low-Carb Vegetables You Can Eat While on the Keto Diet

Whether you've just started the keto diet or have been going strong for some time now, the list of foods you can eat and not eat can get confusing. The last thing you want is to kick yourself out of ketosis unintentionally or to never even enter it. For example, just because it's healthy and a vegetable, doesn't mean it's not high in carbs.

This grocery list of low-carb vegetables is a great start to understand the basics of the keto diet or for when you're sick of eating kale every day. Let's stock up!

2. Spinach

Pass on the lettuce next time, and grab some spinach or other dark leafy greens like kale and arugula. They are super rich in iron and potassium and keto-approved.

7. Mushrooms

Although technically they not a vegetable, mushrooms give a nice umami taste to your dish and are a lot higher in protein content than other vegetables. If you find keto food bland, add some mushrooms to the mix.

8. Cucumbers

This vegetable is great at making sure you stay hydrated, and it adds tons of volume to foods without many calories. Next time you want to elevate your meal, try a salad with cucumbers.
