This smoothie is perfect for those of us on a low carb, high fat diet looking for a tropical twist. Pineapple and coconut come together to make this refreshing breakfast that's keto friendly.
Net Carb note: I always like to calculate my net carbs by subtracting the Fibre from the Total Carbs. In this case, 35g total carbs minus 19g of fiber leaves us with 16g net carbs. You might want to save this one up as a treat as it is slightly higher on the carb scale for those on a very strict Ketogenic regimen.
If you're simply wanting to reduce your carbs and sugars or are now Keto-ish then this is the perfect recipe for you.

Jesus Christ how was almost 70 carbs for one glass of juice keto friendly?????????
Hi Ross! Sorry, I had the wrong (sweetened) coconut selected. The actual net carbs of this recipe using unsweetened coconut come out to 16 net carbs. Sorry for the mistake and thanks for pointing it out.
Just wondering how this is concidered Keto….
Hiya Brenda,
Thanks for your comment. I had an error in the type of Coconut and the automatic nutrition calculator went a bit haywire. I’ve updated the recipe and added a note about net carbs as well.
Dan
On a keto diet your only allowed 26 net carbs. So your drinking almost your whole day in 1 glass??
