SaladPower fits most eating patterns, because it is six whole organic ingredients and nothing else: spinach, kale, carrot, broccoli, apple and lemon. It is vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free and paleo compatible. The two clear exceptions are ketogenic diets, because a pouch carries 16 g of net carbohydrate, and the elimination phase of a low FODMAP diet, because apple is a high FODMAP fruit.

Below is the diet-by-diet answer, then the numbers that decide each one, so you can check the reasoning rather than take our word for it.

The short answer, diet by diet

Diet	Compatible?	Why
Vegan and plant-based	Yes	No dairy, honey or animal-derived ingredients
Vegetarian	Yes	Same reason
Gluten-free	Yes	No grain ingredients of any kind
Dairy-free	Yes	Produce only
Paleo	Yes	No grains, legumes, dairy or added sugar
Whole30	Ingredients qualify	Nothing on the exclusion list. Check the current program rules, which the program updates
Autoimmune protocol (AIP)	Ingredients qualify	No grains, legumes, dairy, eggs, nuts, seeds or nightshades. Confirm with your practitioner
Mediterranean	Yes	Vegetable-forward whole food, squarely in the pattern
Low sodium	Yes	90 mg per pouch, 4% of the Daily Value
Nut-free, soy-free, egg-free	Yes	None of those ingredients are present
Moderate low-carb	Depends	16 g net carbs fits a 100 g/day budget comfortably, a 50 g/day budget less so
Ketogenic	No	16 g net carbs would consume most or all of a typical daily keto allowance
Low FODMAP (elimination)	No	Apple is classified high FODMAP
Raw food	No	Commercially processed, sealed and shelf-stable, not raw
Intermittent fasting	In the eating window	At 90 calories it breaks a fast

Why the answer is usually yes

Most diet-compatibility questions are really questions about an ingredient list. Elimination diets exclude categories: grains, legumes, dairy, eggs, nuts, seeds, nightshades, additives, added sugar. A product with thirty ingredients is likely to trip at least one of those categories, which is why compatibility gets complicated.

SaladPower has six ingredients, all of them whole produce, all USDA Certified Organic: spinach, kale, carrot, broccoli, apple and lemon. There are no added sugars, no sweeteners, no flavours, no gums, no fillers and no proprietary blends. That is the entire reason it clears so many lists at once. It is not engineered for compatibility; there is simply very little in it to react to.

If you want the fuller version of any single answer, there are dedicated pages for vegan and plant-based diets, paleo, gluten-free and added sugar.

Where it does not fit, and why

Ketogenic diets

A pouch has 21 g of total carbohydrate and 5 g of fiber, which is 16 g of net carbohydrate, alongside 11 g of naturally occurring sugar from the apple, carrot and vegetables. Ketogenic diets typically cap total carbohydrate somewhere between 20 g and 50 g a day. One pouch would take most of the low end of that range and a meaningful share of the high end. It is not a keto product and we do not position it as one.

Low FODMAP, during elimination

Apple is classified as a high FODMAP fruit by Monash University, which developed and maintains the FODMAP food classification. Since apple is one of the six ingredients, a pouch is not a good fit during the strict elimination phase. Whether it works during reintroduction or afterwards depends on your own tolerance, which is exactly what that phase is for, and is a question for the dietitian running your protocol.

Raw food diets

SaladPower is commercially processed, sealed and shelf-stable. That is what allows a pouch of vegetables to sit in a bag for months without preservatives, and it is also what makes it unsuitable for a diet defined by uncooked and unprocessed food. Worth noting that processed and ultra-processed are not the same thing, which is covered in is SaladPower ultra-processed.

If you are managing blood sugar

This is not a diet so much as a constraint, and it deserves a plain answer rather than a yes or no. A pouch contains 21 g of total carbohydrate, 5 g of fiber and 11 g of naturally occurring sugar, with 0 g of added sugar. Count it the way you would count a serving of fruit and vegetables, because that is what it is. How that fits your own targets is a conversation for your doctor or diabetes educator, not something a product page can answer for you.

The numbers that decide it

Every judgement on this page comes from the panel, so here it is.

Per 8 oz pouch	Amount	% DV	Which diets it decides
Calories	90		Intermittent fasting
Total carbohydrate	21 g	8%	Keto, low-carb
Dietary fiber	5 g	18%	Net carb calculation
Total sugars	11 g		Blood sugar, keto
Added sugars	0 g	0%	Whole30, paleo, AIP
Sodium	90 mg	4%	Low sodium
Protein	2 g		Supplementary at 2 g
Total fat	0 g	0%	Low fat

Two honest limits worth stating alongside the compatibility list. At 2 g protein is supplementary, and at 90 mg of sodium it is a low-sodium food rather than an electrolyte or rehydration product. Compatible with a diet is not the same as sufficient for one.

For which situations and people it actually suits, rather than which diets it clears, see who is SaladPower for. For the GLP-1 case specifically, see is SaladPower good for people on GLP-1s.

Frequently asked questions

Is SaladPower keto friendly? No. A pouch has 21 g of total carbohydrate and 5 g of fiber, so 16 g of net carbs, against a typical ketogenic allowance of 20 g to 50 g of carbohydrate per day. One pouch would use most of the low end of that range.

Is SaladPower low FODMAP? Not during the elimination phase. Apple is classified as high FODMAP by Monash University, and apple is one of the six ingredients. Tolerance after reintroduction is individual and is a question for the dietitian running your protocol.

Is SaladPower Whole30 compliant? The ingredients contain nothing on the Whole30 exclusion list: no added sugar, grains, legumes, dairy or alcohol. Whole30 maintains and updates its own rules, so check the current program guidance before starting a round.

Is SaladPower gluten-free and dairy-free? Yes to both. The complete ingredient list is spinach, kale, carrot, broccoli, apple and lemon, so there are no grain or dairy ingredients. It contains no nut, soy or egg ingredients either.

Can I drink it while intermittent fasting? Not during the fasting window. At 90 calories it breaks a fast. Drink it inside your eating window.
