Five Keto-Friendly Fruits

7/4/2020

The ketogenic diet calls for foods high in fat and very low in carbs. This means most fruits are off the table as they tend to be high in carbs. There are some exceptions though!

1. Raspberries
One of the lowest-carb fruits at 3g net carbs for a half cup serving, raspberries also contain vitamins C and K and antioxidants.

2. Strawberries
You can have 8 medium-sized strawberries for 6g net carbs. They also provide vitamin C, manganese, folate, and antioxidants.

3. Cherries
Cherries are packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds and yield 8g net carbs for a half cup serving.

4. Watermelon
Perfect for Summer and coming in at 11g net carbs for 1 cup, watermelon can help with hydration and also provide vitamin C, potassium, copper, and lycopene.

5. Cantaloupe
Another Summer favorite, cantaloupe also has 11g net carbs for a 1 cup serving. You’ll also get potassium, folate, and vitamin K.

Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years. My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday. Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change. Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds. I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons. Something was missing. I was thin, but I wasn't fit. I wasn't healthy. I could feel it in my insides. I was 136 pounds and a size 8. Something didn't add up. I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods. 90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4).

Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it. I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health. My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born. Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you. Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN. Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose.

Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business. Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at amanda@simplypreppedmeals.com
