Healthy Homemade Sugar Free Strawberry Syrup
This Healthy Homemade Sugar Free Strawberry Syrup has all the flavor of strawberries but in liquid form!
This low-calorie syrup contains no high fructose corn syrup, granulated sugar, or artificial food coloring… just pure strawberry goodness. Perfect in oatmeal, yogurt, ice cream, smoothies, and more!
Instead of sweetening this syrup with high fructose corn syrup, bleached white sugar, artificial sweeteners or aspartame, I used all-natural stevia.
Instead of sodium benzoate (a preservative) I used… oh wait, this recipe doesn’t have any preservatives! WOOHOO!
Instead of artificial food dyes (that may be linked to hyperactivity, ADHD, tumors, cancer, etc etc etc) I used all-natural, plant-based food coloring.
Unlike regular syrups, this Healthy Homemade Sugar Free Strawberry Syrup doesn’t require any cooking (so you don’t need a candy thermometer). Just gather the ingredients, whisk it all together and refrigerate. Then it’s time to pour pour pour away!
Healthy Free Strawberry Syrup

- Natural Red Food Coloring
- 1 cup Stevia in the Raw or 1 tsp Stevia Extract

And for comparison, here is the nutrition label for Hershey’s Strawberry Syrup. BIG difference, eh?
100 calories vs. 5 calories
High Sugar vs. Sugar-Free
Artificial vs. Natural
Unhealthy vs. Healthy
I don’t know about you but the right column sounds way better to me!
This Healthy Homemade Sugar Free Strawberry Syrup is sweet, smooth, and syrupy. Get all the flavor of strawberries in liquid form and without those pesky seeds!
This is the perfect replacement to storebought syrups (both the sugary ones and the sugar-free ones). I’ll be back later, I’m about to pour this over everythang in my kitchen 😉
Enjoy!

I love this recipe! I love your site so it’s no surprise I love this recipe. 😉 You could use just about any natural flavoring in it. I feel your pain about the HTML disaster, yikes. Before I started to build my site I thought I sort of enjoyed site building and coding. After building my site – I will be very happy if I never have to see HTML again. ;P Or CSS, which is the even more foreign-language coding my site uses. This is why tech people get paid big bucks.
Kath @ Natural Kath-
YAY I’m so glad you like the recipe 🙂
And WOW, congrats on building/coding your site! I think my jaw just hit the floor. I take one look at all that code and it takes my breath away.
And that’s so true, the reason I tried doing all these fix-ups myself is because I couldn’t dish out hundreds of dollars for a simple fix. But maybe it’s worth the investment, knowing my luck haha 😉
Your site looks AMAZING!!! I love the new logo and especially the photography. Superb.
Thanks so much Lisa! Glad you like the new logo 🙂

WOW this looks awesome! 🙂 I quit sugar a few months ago and I really miss strawberry syrup and chocolate syrup 🙁 I’m so glad I found this thanks!
Vanessa-
So glad you found the recipe too! Hope you love it 🙂
Have you ever tried this with fizzy water? I have a soda stream from my soda drinking days, and I’ve been considering making mixes, similar to soda mix thickness, to use with fizzy water to have a soda kick every once in awhile! 🙂 I haven’t made this yet, but I don’t know how thick it is, or if it would be too much to have a soda lol.
Cianna-
Oh that’s a great idea! I haven’t tried adding this to plain fizzy water but I’ve added it to Zevia’s orange soda and it was great! You just need to swirl it in and make sure it’s fully incorporated 🙂
Now I want to get a soda stream… hehe 😉
Hope you like the soda!

All the syrups you made..can they be frozen?
I haven’t ever tried freezing them so I can’t be sure, sorry!

I know this article was written a while ago, but I have to ask. How long does the syrup keep?
Since the syrup doesn’t require any fresh fruit, this syrup keeps for quite some time! I’d say about 1 month?
Could you make a recipe of Strawberry Syrup with strawberries, please?
I do! 🙂

What is “ natural strawberry flavor” ? Like what is it and where do you get it from?
Sorry for the confusion! The company who designed the recipe box app was experiencing technological difficulties for the last week, so links weren’t showing up :/
It should be working now though!
Natural strawberry flavor is just like vanilla extract, except a strawberry version. It adds extra strawberry flavor to the recipe, and it’s all natural, nothing artificial 🙂
