Simply Strawberries Low-Carb Gluten-Free Recipe
Some people may ask “are strawberries low-carb?” but in general, berries have the lowest carbs per serving of almost any fruit. Low-Carb desserts don’t need to be difficult to make – they just need to be Low-Carb!
You can use other types of berries if that is more to your liking. Simply Strawberries is a sweet yet light ending to any meal.
These berries can also be used as a topping for other desserts or low-carb pancakes.
This Low-Carb Gluten-Free berry recipe is so good on its own that you don’t need whipped cream! But if you do want to add whipped cream, we suggest whipping a small amount of heavy cream – you won’t need to add any sweetener.

- Pour the sugar-free raspberry syrup over the strawberries and mix well.
- Tightly cover the bowl with the lid and store in the refrigerator until it’s time to serve the berries.
Notes
Leftover Simply Strawberries will keep 2 or 3 days in the refrigerator if tightly covered, but don’t count on them being there that long.
Try some of the leftovers over low-carb pancakes in the morning, or in a salad with a raspberry vinaigrette salad dressing for lunch tomorrow.
VARIATIONS
Torani Sugar-Free Orange syrup is also very good on strawberries.
Mix in other types of berries with the strawberries.
