Kiwis

Did you know that kiwis are actually berries? These little green fruits are sweet, tangy, and have a very tropical aroma that makes them easily recognizable. Not only are kiwis high in Vitamin C, but they are also low in sugar, too, with only 6-9 grams per fruit!

Strawberries

Another type of berry makes it to our low-sugar list with this summertime favorite. Strawberries pack a lot of sweet and delicate flavor into these tiny berries. By eating strawberries, you can get plenty of that lovable fruit taste without getting too much sugar, since one serving of strawberries is often less than 6 grams!

Avocados

How about a fruit that doesn’t really feel like a fruit? Yup, that’s a thing! Avocados are technically a fruit, but honestly, their taste and texture puts them in a food group all their own. They are a creamy and hearty food that has a unique flavor perfect for pretty much every dish and occasion. Use avocado as a bagel spread and pair it with an egg for breakfast, top it on a salad for lunch, or blend it into a sauce for dinner. The possibilities are endless! (You can even use avocados to make a tasty dessert!) Avocados are low in carbs and sugars, helping to prevent spikes in blood sugar, which makes it a great option for anyone looking to reduce their sugar intake without giving up delicious food!
