Let’s talk about strawberries and blackberries!
Many fruits are high in carbs and don’t fit into a low carb keto plan. The great news is that strawberries and blackberries are an awesome keto fruit option. One cup of strawberries contains 7-8 net grams of carbs, while one cup of blackberries contains about 6 net grams of carbs. For reference, one cup of raspberries contains about 7 net grams of carbs. Both strawberries and blackberries are low-calorie, low carb foods which contain numerous nutrients. These include copper, folate, manganese, and vitamins C and K. They both also provide us with valuable antioxidants and are a good source of fiber. So, yes, in moderation, these berries can easily be incorporated in a keto plan!
Is this keto strawberry blackberry sauce difficult to make?
This is a quick and easy recipe, but there are a few things you can do to ensure yours comes out perfectly every time! First, it’s good to know every stove is different and heats differently. I heated my sauce over medium heat and stirred it frequently. If you notice your sauce is bubbling a lot, you can turn down the heat a little. The goal is to soften the berries and allow them to break down while they simmer. I didn’t want large pieces of berries in my sauce, so I smashed them up with a spoon while they simmered. If you’d like a chunkier sauce with larger pieces of berries, you can skip this step or smash only some of the berries. Last, you’ll want to remove your saucepan from the heat and then stir in the vanilla to help ensure the vanilla will keep its flavor!
How can I serve this keto strawberry blackberry sauce?
You have some great options for serving this delicious sauce. It can be served warm or cold. You can use this sauce to top keto pancakes or waffles. You can also serve this over your favorite keto ice cream. It can be served cold in place of jelly on keto toast or English muffins. If you’d like, you could mix some of this sauce in with some keto yogurt or add some to a smoothie for an extra special treat! Another great option is to use this sauce as a topping for keto cheesecake.
