Fine in a portion — worth keeping an eye on.
Strawberries are a low-sugar star: a full cup has roughly 7 g of sugar — about half a banana — plus 3 g of fibre and a day's worth of vitamin C. That combination makes them one of the best fruits to reach for when you're cutting back.
Because the volume is generous for the sugar, they satisfy a sweet craving without much cost. Watch only for what you add — chocolate dip, sugar, or sweetened cream can quietly triple the total.
Lower-sugar swaps
- Eat them plain or with a spoon of plain Greek yogurt
- Blend into water or sparkling water for naturally sweet flavour
