When you are watching your weight, you always look for ways where you can save calories. When I heard about Kiva Organic Stevia and recently saw some blogger talking about frozen blueberries – I had a plan. I am on Weight Watchers and many of the recipes I had found for blueberry sauce were not 0 points – so I decided to test and create my own Weight Watchers friendly sauce.
I used my favorite steel pan to create this sauce and it was perfect because the heat really was able to reach all parts of the ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon Kiva Organic Stevia or your preferred sugar substitute
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 8 ounces frozen blueberries
Kiva Organic Stevia replaces sugar but check out the conversion chart below. With no aftertaste, no one will even know the difference that it’s low calorie and it is also great for my blood sugar and type 2 Diabetes.
You can adjust the sweetness level to your liking so if you want a little less sweetness you can decrease the sugar – got a sweet tooth you can of course add more! You may have to cook it a bit longer so the sugar is fully immersed in the blueberries.
Instructions
- Bring water, salt and sugar to a boil
- Add blueberries
- Add vanilla
- Bring to a boil
- Remove from heat and use or you can allow it to cool for freezing
So now this is where you have to watch it because it will start thicken and the liquid will evaporate really quickly.
You can add some cornstarch if you feel you need it, but I did not even though the original recipe called for it. You do not want to use it if you are in fact on Weight Watchers.
And now it is done! There are so many things you can use this blueberry topping for including:
- Add to pancake mix
- Drizzle on vanilla ice cream
- Add a scoop on your oatmeal
- Perfect on cheesecake

I love blueberry sauce on many things, waffles, pancakes, ice cream and a bunch of different baked goods. Since I have Type II Diabetes, this would be a great alternative than using sugar. Thanks for the recipe.
