Nutrition Facts
Per 100g

Diet Ratings

KetoCaution

Frozen mixed berries contain approximately 8-10g net carbs per half-cup serving. While berries are the most keto-friendly fruit, portion control is essential to stay within daily carb limits.

Debated

Strict keto practitioners avoid berries entirely due to sugar content, while mainstream keto allows small portions of berries as occasional treats if carb budget permits and macros are tracked carefully.

VeganApproved

Frozen mixed berries are plant-based with minimal processing (freezing only). No animal products or derivatives typically present.

PaleoApproved

Unprocessed berries, frozen at peak ripeness to preserve nutrients. No added sugars or additives. Excellent paleo fruit choice.

MediterraneanApproved

Frozen fruit retains nutrients and antioxidants without added sugars or processing. Convenient whole food option fitting Mediterranean emphasis on berry consumption.

CarnivoreAvoid

Frozen mixed berries are plant-derived fruits with high sugar content. Carnivore diet excludes all fruits and plant foods. No exceptions, even for whole or frozen fruits.

Whole30Approved

Frozen mixed berries with no added sugar are whole, unprocessed fruit with no excluded ingredients. Fully compliant with Whole30. Verify no added sugar on label.

Low-FODMAPCaution

Frozen mixed berries vary by composition. Blueberries and strawberries are low-FODMAP at measured portions, but blackberries and raspberries contain polyols. Monash testing is berry-specific; mixed products require careful label review.

Debated

Monash University rates individual berries differently: blueberries (1 cup), strawberries (1 cup) are low-FODMAP; blackberries and raspberries contain sorbitol (polyol). Mixed berry products lack standardized FODMAP data. Clinical practitioners recommend identifying berry composition before consumption.

DASHApproved

Nutrient-dense fruits with high antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Low sodium, no added sugars (if unsweetened). Core DASH fruit choice with exceptional cardiovascular benefits.

ZoneApproved

Excellent low-glycemic fruit choice with high polyphenol content and fiber. ~1 cup (150g) contains ~15g carbs and ~3g fiber (net 12g). Ideal for Zone; supports anti-inflammatory goals. Fits within 2 fruit servings daily.

Excellent source of anthocyanins, polyphenols, and antioxidants. Freezing preserves nutrient content. No added sugars (if unsweetened). Exemplifies anti-inflammatory fruit recommendation.

GLP-1 FriendlyApproved

Frozen mixed berries are nutrient-dense (high in fiber, antioxidants, vitamin C), low in sugar relative to calories (10-12g per cup), and high in water content. They're convenient, portion-friendly, easy to digest, and support satiety. Excellent GLP-1 fruit choice. Freezing concentrates nutrients and prevents spoilage.
