Summer holidays have started here in Canada, so I thought it would be great to take the kids strawberry picking while they are still in season. The strawberries grown here are so lovely and sweet, and we filled 5 containers for just $10 which was great.
Of course next morning I just had to make a yummy breakfast where we could enjoy them, so decided on some french toast. I have been loving using Sweet Freedom Choc Shot as a low syn chocolate flavour, so added it to the egg mixture to make a delicious chocolate french toast to compliment the fresh sweet strawberries.
I had so many strawberries that I also decided to make up a strawberry sauce which I could add to my french toast or American Style Pancakes or that the kids could spoon on top of some ice cream.
Remember though that fruit not in it's raw form is synned, so if you cook, blend, or it comes from a can etc it then becomes synned. If you want to keep the syns down you can just serve with fresh strawberries, but I had so many strawberries to use and this was worth it for a treat.

I had this for breakfast this morning and was not disappointed. I nearly left out the strawberry sauce, just to save on syns, I'm so glad I didn't as it worked perfectly.
Could I use chocolate syrup instead as i'm in UK. Thanks.
The sweet freedom chocolate syrup is from the UK 😉
