Strawberry Rhubarb Compote
It’s strawberry picking season in NC currently and one of my favorite things to do with too many strawberries is to add rhubarb and make a delicious and healthy fruit compote.
Rhubarb is rich in fiber which makes it a great addition to help keep you regular and improve gut health. It’s also a great source of Vitamin K.
While I grew up eating strawberry rhubarb pies, I now enjoy this awesome tart and sweet flavor combo more regularly on yogurt, cottage cheese and even toast!
Ingredients for Strawberry Rhubarb Compote:
- 3 stalks of rhubarb
- 1 cup of strawberries
- 1 squeeze of lemon juice
- Low cal sweetener of choice, to taste (I like this recipe very tart!)
Directions for Strawberry Rhubarb Compote:
- Clean and chop rhubarb stalks. Clean and cut strawberries. Add both to a non-stick pan on medium heat.
- Add lemon.
- Add sweetener.
- Let simmer on low, approximately 5-10minutes or until fruit is tender. Make sure to stir occasionally.
Struggling to stay consistent with healthy eating? You’re not alone. At True 180 Personal Training, we believe nutrition should be simple, realistic, and sustainable—not restrictive or overwhelming.
Despite misinformation and conflicting opinions, most people intuitively understand “eating right.” It’s pretty simple: reasonable calories, get enough protein & fiber, and focus on more filling foods (example: 400 calories of chicken and carrots will be far more filling than 400 calories of chocolate croissant.)
We can split hairs over meal frequency, alkaline water, etc, but no matter how you split the hair, the basics are still pretty simple. If we basically know what to do, then why is it still so hard to eat right consistently?
