7 Easy Low-Carb Smoothie Recipes

How to Make a Keto Smoothie 

Let’s dive in and discover these delicious smoothie recipes!

1. Chocolate Macadamia Nut Smoothie

Fortunately, chocolate remains a delightful option for those following a low-carb diet.

As an avid chocolate enthusiast, I find myself craving its rich taste daily. And with this smoothie recipe, indulging in chocolate becomes an effortless pleasure.

This chocolaty concoction not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also resembles a decadent dessert—a welcome treat for any occasion.

Rest assured, it aligns perfectly with your low-carb lifestyle and won’t disrupt your state of ketosis, allowing you to relish it guilt-free.

Moreover, it boasts the convenience of smoothies—quick, simple, and portable—ideal for hectic mornings when time is of the essence.

Loaded with healthy fats and essential nutrients, this smoothie provides a nourishing boost that keeps you satiated and energized throughout the day.

Macadamia nuts contribute beneficial monounsaturated fats, while cacao delivers a potent dose of antioxidants, promoting gut health and reducing inflammation.

By satisfying your sweet cravings without causing blood sugar spikes, this smoothie nurtures your body and sustains your vitality in a wholesome manner.

Make: 1 1/2 cups

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons macadamia nuts
  • 1 teaspoon MCT oil
  • 1 tablespoon coconut butter
  • 2 tablespoons chia seed
  • 1 tablespoon cacao powder
  • 1 stick of collagen peptides

Directions:

  • Measure all your ingredients. Add all of them to a blender and hit blend. 
  • Run the blender for a few minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Pour into a glass and enjoy. If you are saving for later, be sure to store it in an airtight container.

2. Matcha Green Smoothie

If you’re in search of a nutrient-packed smoothie to fuel your day, this recipe has you covered.

Prepare to be blown away by the sheer deliciousness of this smoothie—it’s truly a taste sensation!

Infused with an enticing hint of bitterness from green tea, it’s a beverage you’ll find yourself reaching for day after day, captivated by its irresistible flavor.

Yet, beyond its delectable taste lies its impressive nutritional profile, making it a standout choice.

This low-carb green matcha smoothie boasts an array of superfoods, delivering a wealth of essential nutrients.

With healthy fats from avocado and coconut milk, along with potassium and magnesium, it’s a powerhouse of goodness.

Plus, it packs a punch with 10 grams of protein, 8 grams of carbs, and a generous serving of fiber, making it a satisfying low-carb option that can enhance metabolism and promote feelings of fullness.

However, it’s worth noting that this smoothie is incredibly filling, thanks to the inclusion of avocado and coconut milk. Consider enjoying it as a meal replacement shake rather than a mere mid-day snack.

Ready to whip up this low-carb smoothie sensation? Here’s everything you need to get started.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 medium avocado
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach or kale 
  • 1/4 cup plain whey protein powder
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk 
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon Epic Matcha green tea powder
  • 5-8 drops liquid stevia extract (or 2 tbsp Erythritol)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Ice cubes

Directions:

  • Add all the ingredients to a blender. Add ice cubes as needed and pulse until smooth.
  • Pour into a glass and enjoy!

Nutrition Per Serving: 338 calories, 27g fat, 10g protein, 8g carbohydrate

3. Triple Berry Smoothie

I adore this delightful triple-berry low-carb smoothie recipe. Bursting with the irresistible flavors of raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries—all of which are among the lowest in carbohydrates—it’s a true treat for the taste buds.

Berries are not only delicious but also packed with essential nutrients such as fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants. By incorporating berries into your low-carb diet, you can potentially ward off numerous chronic illnesses and alleviate symptoms associated with them.

Despite their small size, berries pack a powerful nutritional punch, making them a valuable addition to any diet.

If you’re using fresh berries, consider adding 1/4 cup of ice cubes to the blend for a refreshing chill. Alternatively, you can freeze the berries in advance for a frostier texture.

Ingredients:

  •  1/4 cup strawberries 
  • 1/4 cup raspberries
  • 1/4 cup blackberries 
  • 2 cups of coconut milk 
  • 1 tablespoon shaved coconut, (Unsweetened for garnish) (optional)

 Directions:

  • Add all the ingredients except the shaved coconut to a blender. Blend until smooth. 
  • Divide between glasses and top with shaved coconut.

Makes for 2 glasses. 

4. Green Smoothie

Green smoothies stand out not just for their vibrant hue but also for their exceptional health advantages.

This low-carb green smoothie is a prime example.

Leafy greens like parsley, dandelion, and chicory are nutritional powerhouses, brimming with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

Incorporating a green smoothie into your low-carb regimen can enhance digestive well-being and support the body’s detoxification processes.

Moreover, the vitamins and minerals derived from these greens can help curb hunger and facilitate detoxification. Following a diet rich in meat and cream typical of a low-carb lifestyle, a superfood reset feels indispensable.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of filtered water
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1 tablespoon MCT oil (Simply Good Fats)
  • 1/2 organic cucumber
  • 1 large handful of dark leafy greens
  • 1 – 2 leaves of dandelion

5. Strawberry Smoothie Recipe 

When following a low-carb diet, finding ways to satisfy your sweet tooth without increasing your carb intake is a real treasure.

This strawberry smoothie recipe fits the bill perfectly, offering a delightful sweetness without compromising your low-carb goals. It’s substantial enough to serve as a meal replacement while remaining low-carb and satisfying.

Additionally, this recipe is suitable for those following a gluten-free, vegetarian, and dairy-free diet.

6. Coconut Chia Smoothie

Here’s another recipe that can quench your sweet cravings without raising your carb intake.

Plus, with both coconut cream and Greek yogurt, it’s packed with healthy fats, all in one refreshing drink.

On your workout days, consider adding a scoop of unsweetened protein powder to transform it into a perfect post-workout smoothie. Otherwise, enjoy it as a satisfying low-carb breakfast smoothie.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 cup full-fat Greek yogurt

    Hi there,

    Thanks for leaving your comment.

    You can substitute it with white egg protein powder if insulin resistance is an issue.

    It may just be me thinking this but whey protein powder is still a high-protein, low-carb powder that can help build lean muscle mass. Feel free to take it out of the recipe and use other keto-friendly protein powder alternatives like white egg protein powder.

    Thanks,

    Ingrid,

    So glad you tried out the smoothie recipe.
    You can totally opt out on the sweetener if you find the smoothie sweet enough without it.
    Also, was your coconut cream flavored/sweetened?
    Those things can make a difference too.

    Hope you find the right balance of those ingredients for your taste buds!

    Thanks,
    Tina

    Hi Carol,
    Thank you for asking!
    Whey protein powder contains whey, the protein found in milk. Vanilla powder, on the other hand, is powdered pure vanilla extract free of alcohol and sugar.

    Hope this helps.

    What is MCT oil?

  • Tina Alexandre

    Posted March 4, 2019 at 7:57 pm 0Likes

    Hi Karen,

    MCT is short for Medium-Chain Triglycerides.

    They are most often found in coconut oil and metabolized in the body differently by going straight to the liver from the gut. They are also said to be easier for digestion and provide quick, clean energy, especially for your brain.

    You see this MCT oil a lot in keto diet recipes!

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Sonya,

    Thank you for your comment and great question. Yes, you can absolutely have them as a snack or a meal like breakfast.
    I’m not a huge breakfast eater, so this works fine for me.

    This totally depends on your typical meal preference, but if you are a light eater, I would say you’ll find these smoothies pretty filling.

    Hope this helps.

    I am not doing keto, but I like smoothies. I have been making one for breakfast since February, and I could use some new ideas.

    However, I don’t like coconut. Anything I can use as substitutes for coconut oil, coconut butter and MCT that will not take away from the taste of these smoothie recipes??

    Hi Lee,

    It’s total carbs just to be safe.
    I used MyFitnessPal to come up with the nutrition info, and unfortunately for these, it didn’t give me the net carb count.
    It just stated “carbs”, so I’d assume total carbs.

    Taking out items like chia seeds, protein powders, and hemp seeds may help.

    Hope this helps.

    Now I need to ask you, if I want to substitute a meal with protein powder, what would be the best protein I should buy? I would need one that does not have so many addictives and sugar.

    Hi Megs,

    They are always best fresh, and I never made them a day in advance… I would say a few hours is fine but overnight may change the texture a bit.

    I’m sorry I’m not being really useful here… Maybe I just have to try it to see if they hold up for a day.

    Best,
    Tina
