This Low-Carb Raspberry Cantaloupe Lassi is bursting with fresh raspberry flavor. Cantaloupe tames the sour berry and gives the drink a gently fruity note. Yogurt brings creaminess and richness.
Without further ado, here is the flavor-bursting recipe. Hope you enjoy it!

Be prepared to Thanksgiving and the holiday season with this delicious low-carb relish! This sweet and tart sauce, with all its intense flavors, is a perfect companion to turkey, chicken or ham. In fact, to any meat or fish.
This is a great make-ahead sauce. You can prepare it a day or two before, the flavors get even better when they can marinate for some time. Just reheat the sauce before serving so that all the tiny crystals of erythritol dissolve. If you prefer to serve the sauce cold, I give some hints how to sweeten it in that case.

If you have ever wondered how cloudberries taste, now there is a chance to taste some — without a single cloudberry involved. It’s a well-known fact in Finland that the combination of carrot and gooseberry produce the taste and look of cloudberry — at least they say so. Join me in my story as I explore whether that’s true or not.
If you happen to have some gooseberries at hand, that is a great opportunity to try out this enchanting recipe. If you cannot get gooseberries, I give some suggestions in the end of the post how to replace them.

It’s a looong hot summer, so you’d better to cool yourself with some of the coolest sugar-free low-carb drinks. If you don’t get chilled (out) with these, it would be worth thinking of moving to the North Pole!

Update: You might want to check my drink book (in Kindle format here) for more refreshing summer drink recipes! Over 40 recipes, plenty of variations, each serving under 1 gram net carbs!

One could have thought that after developing recipes for sugar-free raspberry jam and strawberry jam creating a recipe for blueberry jam would have been easy as pie. But no, that would have been too simple. Achieving the right taste was easy, though, but the perfect texture needed some research and development.
Because a mere jam recipe would have been a bit too plain, I’ve included a recipe for magnificent blueberry jam filled muffins in the end of the post as a bonus recipe. Enjoy!

What a fun way to enjoy yogurt and berries! This chilly sugar-free dessert pleases both kids and adults. I eat these ice pops for breakfast too, they are so good. A perfect way to start a day, especially now during hot summer.
For vegans and for those who don’t use dairy (paleo, for example), I created a vegan version. This modification and some other ideas for variations you find from the end of the post, like usual.

If you don’t consume alcohol at all, or if you would like to make this dessert for the whole family, I’ll give some suggestions in the end of the post for replacing the sparkling wine.

Halloumi is Cypriot cheese with salty flavor and semi-hard texture. Because of its high melting point, it’s great for frying and grilling. In this salad flavorful halloumi is combined with sweet strawberries — these two counterpoints make a perfect combination. This mouth-watering combination gets a subtle kick from freshly ground black pepper. Good-quality extra virgin olive oil gives the final touch with its richness and healthful fats.
In case you cannot get halloumi or other cheese suitable for grilling, I’ll give some ideas how to replace it in this salad. I’ll also give vegan and dairy-free alternatives in the end of the post.

This sugar-free frosting is bursting with flavor of real strawberries. Unlike creamy and buttery frostings, this dreamy meringue-like frosting is airy and fluffy, not heavy. Real strawberries guarantee the authentic strawberry taste without anything artificial. Using freeze-dried strawberries makes also sure that the frosting doesn’t turn out watery, like it would with fresh strawberries.
This frosting is perfect for cakes and cupcakes. You can also make gelatin dessert — just spoon the mixture into dessert bowls and let set in the fridge for an hour or two. A perfect way to finish any tasty summer meal!

I seem to be in a jam making mood. Last week I published the recipe for Easy Sugar-Free Raspberry Jam and now: Sugar-Free Strawberry Jam. I got so thrilled about my (finally!) successful raspberry jam experiment, that I wanted to try out the same method for strawberry jam. And, my husband prefers strawberries to raspberries.
Just replacing raspberries with strawberries didn’t work, there were many other things to consider and to change. But, finally I succeeded in making jam which my whole family likes, including me. Hope you like this as well!
