The ChipMonks Go To The Grocery Store! Our Low Carb, Keto Shopping List
Our pantry is looking a little sparse, so it’s time for the ChipMonks to head to the grocery store and stock up on our favorite low carb favorites. Follow along to create your very own keto grocery shopping list:
The Fruits:
Our first stop is the fruit aisle! But unfortunately, most fruits and berries contain quite a bit of sugar and carbs. They are, after all, ‘Nature’s Candy’, but if you are practicing a ketogenic diet, those sweet snacks might be knocking you out of ketosis. That’s why our shopping list includes some of our favorite low carb fruits, along with their number of carbs per 100g serving:
- BlackBerries — 5*
- Raspberries — 5
- Strawberries — 6
- Watermelon — 7
- Cantaloupe — 7
- Lemon — 6
- Peach — 8
- Coconut — 6
*estimated Net carbs (g) per 100g serving
The Veggies:
Next stop is veggies! Fortunately Mother Nature was a little kinder with vegetables because most of them are relatively low carb. While you should try to avoid a few high carb outliers like sweet potatoes, beets, and corn, there are still tons of keto-friendly vegetables to enjoy. Here’s what the ChipMonks are bringing home:
- Red Peppers — 4*
- Broccoli — 4
- Mushrooms — 1
- Avocados — 3
- Cauliflower — 2
- Green Beans — 5
- Lettuce — 1
- Garlic — 1
*estimated Net carbs (g) per 100g serving
The Meats:
You might be surprised to learn that ChipMonks aren’t vegetarians. In fact, if you’re like us and living the low carb, high fat lifestyle, then meat is an excellent source of protein and energy, and it’s all totally carb free! Here’s what the ChipMonks are craving:

- Chicken Thighs — 280 calories, 25g fat, 14g protein per 4oz serving
