We all know once you get delicious strawberries, you will not stay with one box only.

Strawberry powder is a dry, dusty powder made out of dried strawberries. It does not contain anything else except strawberries.
Like any Fruit Powder, Strawberry powder retains its nutrients and, therefore, can be added to anything needed strawberries.
Its strong strawberry taste, flavor, and color immediately uplift your baking, making smoothies, flavorful milk, protein powders, or simple decorating with natural color.
As Strawberries are a part of keto fruit, the strawberry powder made from strawberries only falls into the keto Pantry and is entirely keto.

Whatever method you choose can be used for making a perfect strawberry powder.
Dehydrating Strawberries for powder
I have chosen a dehydrating method for our recipe as I often use a dehydrator to dry various berries and vegetables, make Fruit Roll-Ups, and so on.
I have made a separate recipe post on how it is best to dehydrate your strawberries, which is worth looking at if you follow this method.
How to dehydrate Strawberries for powder?
The only difference between dehydrating strawberries for a snack and powder is that you have to ensure your strawberries are dehydrated for making the powder.
Some people prefer dehydrated strawberries a bit thicker and softer as a snack, but this will not work for making the powder.
Your strawberries need to be fully dried; therefore, I suggest cutting them thin. After the dehydration process is finished, let them cool and check if they break easily, meaning that they are fully dry.
Can I use store-bought dried strawberries instead of fresh strawberries?
You certainly can buy already dehydrated or freeze-dried strawberries to make a powder.
Uses of Strawberry Powder
Using homemade strawberry powder is a great idea to add flavor, color, and taste to anything you can imagine entirely natural and nutritious.
Strawberry Powder can be used:
- In addition to your frosting for flavor and color
- Mixed into cookie batter for a perfect strawberry-flavored cookies

- Mixed in with natural protein to make your strawberry protein powder
