LOW CARB JOURNEY
Whether you're new to keto diet, or just trying to cut back on carbs, you've probably wondered, "Are cucumbers keto friendly?."
The short answer is YES! Cucumber is a low carb vegetable, making it an excellent choice for a keto diet.
A standard serving of cucumber, or 1.5 cups of cucumber slices, contains 1.6 grams of net carbs.
With its minimal carbohydrate content, a cucumber is an excellent choice to keep your carb intake below 50 grams.
Cucumber is a low carb vegetable that can be enjoyed in many ways. Here are some of my favorite keto cucumber recipes from Scott:
