Of all the berries, strawberries have got to be one of the best — they're sweet, juicy, a little tart and so tasty when in-season! And if you’re on a low-carb or keto diet, they can make a dessert, salad, breakfast or snack taste even better and sweeter.
Here are some of favorite low-carb and keto strawberry recipes to celebrate summer. Our most popular recipes include our simple strawberry tart, strawberry salad with poppy seed dressing, and our strawberry cheesecake bars. Be sure to enjoy ripe summer strawberries while you can!
SIMPLE STRAWBERRY MASCARPONE TART
This simple strawberry mascarpone tart is one my husband’s favorite low-carb and keto desserts. It's because it has a crunchy pecan crust, a sweet and creamy mascarpone filling, and is topped with fresh strawberries. It's a delicious low-carb and keto summer dessert (or anytime of year for that matter) to make when when strawberries are in season. Each slice is only 1.8 net carbs. Click here for the recipe.
PEANUT BUTTER & ROASTED STRAWBERRY GREEK YOGURT
We were inspired to make this low-carb peanut butter and roasted strawberry Greek yogurt after NYT Cooking did a post on peanut butter and jelly yogurt. If you haven't tried it, you should! In this recipe, we sweeten the unsweetened peanut butter and roast the strawberries with Swerve sweetener. We love the added sweetness and even like to add a few pinches of keto granola on the top to make it crunchy. Click here for the recipe.
STRAWBERRY SALAD WITH POPPY SEED DRESSING
Sweet, ripe strawberries take center stage in this salad, but the creamy, sweet yet tangy poppy seed dressing is absolutely delicious! This quick and easy weeknight salad can be made in about 15 minutes. It goes great with grill dishes, is fun for summer gatherings, and deliciously satisfying when you're craving something a little sweet. Each serving is just 3 net carbs. Click here for the recipe.
STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE BARS
These low-carb and keto strawberry cheesecake bars are the best of two worlds — the no-bake cheesecake top is wonderfully smooth and creamy with fresh strawberry slices, while the bottom is a crunchy, baked pecan crust that is almost as delicious as the cheesecake itself. These bars are quick and simple to make (just 20 minutes!) and are only 2 net carbs per serving! Click here for the recipe.
QUICK CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRIES
These low-carb and keto chocolate covered strawberries are refreshingly light, fruity, chocolaty, and a perfect summer treat! They're so easy and quick to make, too. You simply heat sugar-free chocolate chip in the microwave, dip the strawberries, and then let them chill for a little bit in the fridge. Click here fore the recipe.
COCONUT STRAWBERRY POPSICLES WITH DARK CHOCOLATE
These dairy-free and keto coconut strawberry popsicles with chocolate are creamy, coconutty, fruity and sweet, and perfect for hot days! Plus, these keto summer treats are super easy to make with just 6 ingredients: full-fat coconut milk, Swerve Sweetener, vanilla extract, strawberries, coconut oil and Lily's sugar-free semi-sweet chocolate chips. Click here for the recipe.
STRAWBERRY LASSI
This creamy, fruity and low-carb and keto strawberry lassi is a simple and quick treat to make. A lassi is a traditional, yogurt-based drink from India that is deliciously refreshing and healthy. Since yogurt is the main ingredient in a lassi, it’s high in protein and calcium, and packed with probiotics. It takes less than 5 minutes to make and is just 5 ingredients.

KETO STRAWBERRY LEMON CAKE
We love this moist and fluffy strawberry lemon cake recipe, adapted from Alyssa Rimmer at King Arthur Flour (Strawberry Almond Flour Cake). This low-carb and keto cake has no butter and uses whipped egg whites to create a nice airiness to the cake. Plus, it's just 8 ingredients, bakes up quickly, and one slice is only 4 net carbs. Click here for the recipe.
KETO STRAWBERRY CRISP
Strawberry crisp is one of the best summer desserts! In this low-carb and keto crisp, the strawberries are lightly sweetened and then topped with a crumble made from butter, cinnamon, pecans and almond flour. It bakes in the oven until the strawberries are bubbling and the crumble is golden brown. The prep time is less than 15 minutes and each serving is 5 net carbs. Click here for the recipe.
BREAKFAST CHAFFLES WITH SWEETENED YOGURT & STRAWBERRIES
Topping breakfast chaffles with sweetened yogurt and strawberries is a game changer for us. Not only for the yummy taste, but for the nutritional aspects as well. The sweetened Greek yogurt serves as an excellent source of calcium, protein and probiotics. Not only that, the yogurt is more substantial and filling than simply adding syrup. And when you add fresh strawberries — that's just icing on the cake! Click here for the recipe.
