  • Blueberry limeade – Replace the lime slices with blueberries.

Tips & FAQs

  • If you do not have monk fruit on hand, you can use 2/3 of a cup of confections swerve to sweeten the limeade instead. 
  • The lime zest is optional. It’s purpose is simply to add a nice rich color to the limeade and add some more zesty flavors to the drink. Without the zest, the drink will still taste great.
  • For this fresh limeade recipe, six limes (about 95 grams each) were used to derive at 1 cup of fresh lime juice.
  • If you can avoid it, try to stay away from bottled lime juice. The flavor in bottled lime juice is very inferior to the flavor of freshly squeezed lime juice

 

Are limes keto?

Limes are indeed keto friendly. While they have slightly more, carbs than lemons, 1 lime weighing 67 grams has roughly 7.04 grams of carbs and 1.88 grams of fiber.

How many carbs in lime juice?

There are approximately 20 grams of carbs in each 1 cup of lime juice. This may seem like a lot to anyone doing keto. However, because no one is drinking an entire cup full of lime juice in one go, there is no need to worry. For example, this ket friendly limeade recipe makes 5 servings. Therefore, there are only 4 grams of carbs in every serving of sugar free limeade!
