Rhubarb delicious leaf stalk

Oh, WOW!!!

I remember the first time I had rhubarb!

It was in a rhubarb pie served at a local family diner. It was incredible!!!

And I was hooked!

Fast-forward several years –

To the time I needed to eat low-sugar, low-carb, gluten-free, keto-like foods.

In researching what I could possibly eat, I ran across one thing that was healthy, yet had VERY low sugar:

Enter rhubarb!

Just from looking at the vibrant red color, it looks healthy.

Combine it with strawberries (and some form of sweetener to your preference), and you have a simple, healthy, low-carb dessert.

It can help add variety to your diet, as well as provide nutrients to your body.

Win – win!
