Low Carb Fruit

Use these low carb fruit suggestions to add flavor to muffins and smoothies, or add to heavy cream for a great dessert or side to a meal.

Caution, though. Some people are sensitive the even the sugar in fruit, and in that respect, fruit can have the same effect as candy when it comes to glucose and insulin levels in the blood. The fiber in fruit does slow digestion down somewhat, but eating fruit does generate higher levels of blood sugar.
