Keto Food Questions
Is coconut milk or water keto-friendly?
Canned coconut milk (1 cup):
Fat—58g
Carb—13g
Fiber—5g
Net carb—8g
Potassium—631g
Silk coconut milk (1 cup):
Fat—4g
Carb—1g
Potassium—310g
Depending on what type of coconut milk you get, it’s going to be more or less keto-friendly, but even 8g of carbs aren’t too bad. You just want to make sure you have less than 20g-30g of carbs per day to really get into ketosis.
Overall, is coconut milk keto-friendly? Yes. And, it works great in coffee and in all kinds of keto-friendly recipes.
Coconut water (1 cup):
Fat—0.5g
Carb—11g
Potassium—600mg
Sodium—282mg
A lot of people consume coconut water for electrolytes because the potassium/sodium ratio is pretty good. I do think the carbs are a bit too high for keto. But, depending on how many other carbs you have in a day, you may still be able to get away with it. It’s definitely much better than juice or soda.
