✅ Why Lupini Beans Are Keto-Friendly
Most beans are off-limits on the keto diet because of their high starch content. Just ½ cup of pinto or navy beans can eat up your entire day’s carb allowance. Lupini beans are different. They contain only about 1g net carbs per serving, yet pack in protein and fiber to keep you feeling full.
They also have a slightly nutty, firm bite that pairs beautifully with olives, cheese, and crunchy veggies. It’s a Mediterranean-inspired snack that doesn’t feel like “diet food.”
This lupini bean snack plate proves that keto can be both simple and full of flavor. With the salty bite of olives, the richness of cheese, and the fresh crunch of veggies, you get a little taste of the Mediterranean lifestyle—without the carbs that usually come with it. By making lupini beans the centerpiece, you enjoy a protein-packed, low-carb snack that feels indulgent and nourishing at the same time.
