It's hard to believe these berry beauties have less than 100 calories and only 4 grams of sugar. But the benefits don't stop there. They're also rich in a powerful antioxidant called ellagic acid that has been found to slow the growth of some tumors and help cancer cells self-destruct.Time To Table: 30 minutes

Ingredients
2 cups organic raspberries
1 cup organic blackberries
2 tsp organic arrowroot
3 large organic egg whites
1 cup organic erythritol (try ZSweet)
1 tsp organic vanilla extract
1 tsp fresh organic lemon juice
1 ounce organic, unsalted pistachios, chopped
1/4 cup spring water
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°F. In a medium saucepan, combine raspberries and blackberries with 1/2 cup erythritol, vanilla, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring often. Add arrowroot and continue to stir until thickened, about 1 minute. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Gradually add in the remaining erythritol, 2 Tbsp at a time, and continue to beat for about 3 minutes. Gently swirl in 3/4 cup of the berry mixture -- leaving streaks in the egg whites. Spoon remaining berry mixture into six 1/2 cup ramekins. Top with the soufflé mixture, sprinkle with pistachios, and bake until golden on top, about 6 minutes.
