Keto Orange Mimosa
Can you drink mimosa on keto?
Many people wonder if consuming mimosa is suitable while following a keto diet, well with the right combination of ingredients, you can enjoy a mimosa and still stay in ketosis.
Is Champagne allowed on keto?
Wine and Champagne are relatively low on carbs. Dry wine such as Sauvignon Blanc has just 2g of carb per glass, while Champagne has even less, just 1g of carb for the same serving size. Hence, they can be enjoyed while following a keto diet.
What can be a good substitute for champagne in a mimosa?
If you are looking for an alternative to champagne, you can try Cava or Prosecco. Both of them are extremely low carbs wines and mixes well with the juice.
Are there any keto orange juice substitutes?
The classic mimosa contains orange juice, which is excessively high in carbs.
According to FoodData Central just 100g of OJ contains a whopping 10g of carbs, with 8 of them being sugar.
Since oranges naturally contain sugars there is no such thing as a sugar-free orange juice.
That is why this keto diet mimosa recipe is made with diet orange crush soda which doesn’t contain any carbs or calories and tastes quite similar to OJ.
You may be able to fit the real orange juice into your daily macros but the fact is, it’s a very high carb drink and you will be sacrificing having almost any other carb sources throughout the day and could even be risking kicking yourself out of ketosis.
What juices are low carb?
Lemon, Lime, or grapefruit juice are great options for a low carb mimosa. They are low in carbs and full of flavour. Blueberries or Raspberries can also be included but in a moderate quantity.

How to make the perfect keto mimosas?
The best ratio for Champagne and Orange Juice for mimosa is 1:1. (you can adjust the quantities according to your taste too)
