How many carbs are in keto guacamole?

Each serving has just 2.5g net carbs (7.5g total carbs minus 5g fiber), along with 165 calories, 2g protein, and 15g fat. This recipe makes 6 servings of about 1/3 cup each.

Is guacamole keto-friendly?

Yes. Avocados are one of the best keto foods — high in healthy monounsaturated fat and fiber with very few net carbs. As long as you skip the tortilla chips and dip with veggies or pork rinds, guacamole fits a ketogenic diet perfectly.

How do I keep guacamole from turning brown?

Acid and air exclusion are key. The lime juice slows oxidation, and pressing plastic wrap directly onto the surface (or adding a thin layer of water on top) keeps air out. Stored this way it stays green for up to a day in the fridge.

This restaurant-style keto guacamole leans on creamy avocado, bright lime, and fresh cilantro for a snack that's loaded with healthy fats and almost no net carbs. Whip it up in 10 minutes and scoop it with veggies or pork rinds for the perfect low-carb bite.

Ingredients

3 large ripe avocados (about 600g flesh)

1/4 cup finely diced red onion

1 medium Roma tomato, seeded and diced

1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (optional, for extra fat)

Instructions

Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Add the lime juice immediately to prevent browning.

Mash the avocado with a fork to your preferred texture — leave it chunky or make it smooth.

Stir in the red onion, tomato, jalapeño, cilantro, garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined.

Drizzle in the olive oil (if using) and fold gently. Taste and adjust salt and lime as needed.

Serve right away, or press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and refrigerate up to 2 hours before serving.

Tips & notes

For maximum freshness and the least browning, keep the avocado pit in the leftover guac and press plastic wrap flush against the surface before refrigerating.

Pair with pork rinds, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, or celery sticks instead of tortilla chips to keep it strictly keto.

Add a pinch of cayenne or a splash of hot sauce for extra heat without adding carbs.
