    Low carb peanut butter and roasted strawberry 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. But, since we don't usually purchase or make any low-carb jellies, we decided to replace the jelly with roasted strawberries. And, to our surprise, we loved it! I now think about making this low-carb peanut butter and roasted strawberry yogurt most mornings. Yes, I'm a little obsessed with it at the moment. But, that said, if you like peanut butter and yogurt, you'll likely love this too.

    In this recipe, we sweeten the unsweetened peanut butter (we use Santa Cruz Organic Creamy Light Roasted Peanut Butter) and roast the strawberries with Swerve sweetener (but you don't have to). We love the added sweetness and even like to add a few pinches of keto granola on the top to make it crunchy.

    If you're in a hurry, you could simply use fresh cut strawberries, which work just as well. The strawberries take about 10 minutes to roast. This low-carb peanut butter and roasted strawberry Greek yogurt is 8 net carbs.

    Ingredients

    There are only 4 ingredients in this low-carb breakfast treat:

    • 1 6-ounce FAGE total 0% milkfat plain Greek yogurt
    • 2 tablespoons of unsweetened peanut butter -- we use Santa Cruz Organic Creamy Light Roasted Peanut Butter
    • 2 organic strawberries, quartered
    • ½ tablespoon Swerve sweetener for the peanut butter, PLUS ½ tablespoon Swerve sweetener for the strawberries

    How to Make

    There are just a few steps in making this peanut butter and roasted strawberry yogurt.

    • Prepare the roasted strawberries: Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrese and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Quarter two strawberries and combine with ½ tablespoon Swerve sweetener. Place the strawberries on prepared baking sheet a few inches apart and roast for 8 to 10 minutes, until strawberries soften (yet are still a little firm) and begin to release their juices.
    • Prepare the peanut butter: Mix two tablespoons of peanut butter with ½ tablespoon of Swerve sweetener. Heat in the microwave in 30 second increments until soft and a little runny.
    • Combine and serve: Mix 1 ½ tablespoons of peanut butter mixture with the yogurt. Spoon the remaining ½ tablespoon of peanut butter mixture over the top. Place the roasted strawberries on top and dig in!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can you eat peanut butter on a keto diet? Yes, unsweetened peanut butter can be eaten on a low-carb and ketogenic diet. Unsweetened peanut butter, such as Santa Cruz Organic, is low in carbs (2 net carbs per 2 tablespoons), high in healthy fats and a good source of protein.

    Can you eat Greek yogurt on a keto diet? If you're on a ketogenic diet, you'll want to consume Greek yogurt in moderation. And not all Greek yogurt is made the same -- some Greek yogurts are much higher in carbs and sugars than others. Therefore, be sure to check the carbs and sugars in the nutritional informational before purchasing. In this recipe, we use 6 ounces of FAGE total 0% milkfat plain Greek yogurt, which has 5 grams of net carbs. Those 5 net carbs come from the natural sugar found in milk; no additional sugars are added. Greek yogurt is a healthy food option since it's high in protein and calcium, and full of probiotics.

    Are strawberries okay to eat on a keto diet?
    Yes, you can eat strawberries (and in general most berries) while on keto as long as you monitor you how many you eat. A helpful rule of thumb is that one strawberry has about 1 net carb. This makes them a wonderful low-carb recipe ingredient since they offer a fresh fruity flavor — but just be careful not to add too many!
