How to Make a Keto Smoothie 

To make a keto smoothie that’s both nutritionally satisfying and delicious to taste, you need the right ingredients. 

Since the keto diet limits carbs, you need keto-friendly ingredients.

While each recipe card has a different ingredient combo, here are some of the staple items you should have on hand for keto smoothies. 

Liquids:

  • Full-fat coconut milk 
  • Coconut milk
  • heavy cream
  • Unsweetened almond milk Cashew milk
  • Plain Greek yogurt 
  • Coconut water
  • Black Coffee

Fruits and Veggies:

  • Blackberries
  • Raspberries
  • Watermelon
  • Avocado
  • Celery
  • Cauliflower
  • Spinach
  • Other greens
  • Cilantro
  • Mint

Flavors:

  • Nut butter (almond butter, peanut butter, cashew butter)
  • Nuts and seeds (peanuts, almonds, macadamia nuts)
  • Keto sweeteners (monk fruit)
  • Lemon juice /Lime juice
  • Ginger
  • Cinnamon
  • Matcha powder
  • Sugar-free chocolate
  • Cacao powder

Optional Add-ons:

  • Ice cubes
  • Collagen
  • Protein powders
  • Calcium
  • MCT oil
  • Coconut oil
  • Heavy whipping cream, whipped
  • Cacao nibs

Having these low-carb ingredients in the fridge/ pantry will make it easier for you to whip your keto smoothie in minutes. 

Step 1: Choose a liquid

The first step in making a keto smoothie is to choose your liquid. You don’t have to stick to one and can combine a few. 

To make a creamy smoothie, you need thicker liquid like yogurt and coconut cream. 

Also if you are adding other thickening ingredients like avocado and cauliflower, you may want to stick to thinner liquid like almond milk. 

Also, liquids offer an easy way to make your low-carb drinks high-fat. Pick a liquid rich in fat. If not, be sure to add other fat sources like MCT oil to supplement your fat intake. 

Regardless of your liquid choice, be sure to pick an unsweetened, plain variety to avoid sugar.

Step 2: Add Fruits/Vegetables

The Keto diet is mostly void of fruits, but some of these lowest-carb fruits can still make the cut. Fruits like acai, avocados, blackberries, and watermelon are amongst the lowest in sugar content. 

You can use either fresh or frozen fruits, but some fruits like acai and star fruits mostly come in a puree. That’s perfectly okay and actually helps add creaminess and velvety texture to your drink. 

Low-carb vegetables are an essential part of a low-carb lifestyle. They help add vitamins and minerals to your keto recipe. With the right flavor combo, you often even taste the bitterness. 

Step 3: Add Flavors and Textures

This is the best part of making a keto smoothie. If you are looking for a keto recipe to make your low-carb breakfast smoothie, add peanut butter. Your keto smoothie can have your favorite breakfast flavors like peanut butter and jelly with raspberries. 

If you are a chocolateholic, you can add a teaspoon of cacao powder to make your drink a chocolate-heaven. 

Also, be sure to add your choice of sugar-free sweetener if your other ingredients lack sweetness. Stevia and monk fruit are naturally derived sweeteners and a great choice if you want to avoid artificial sweeteners. 

Step 4: Add Optional Add-ons

Whether it’s whipped cream or a dash of matcha powder, add-ons truly add real value to your keto smoothie. 

This is also where you can include an additional dose of fat to make it truly fit for your keto lifestyle. Play with different optional ingredients to make your drink a real treat on a hot day. 

Below I will share 7 of my favorite smoothie recipes you can enjoy on your low-carb diet, keto.

7 Easy Low-Carb Keto Smoothie Recipes

How to Make a Keto Smoothie 

1. Chocolate Macadamia Nut Smoothie

Thankfully chocolate is one of the few foods you can indulge in while on the keto diet.

As a devoted chocolate lover, I can literally eat chocolate every day. And this smoothie makes it all possible.

Not only that, this chocolaty goodness tastes more like a dessert, which most of us can appreciate.

To confirm, it’s perfectly keto-friendly and won’t kick you out of kick ketosis, so you can enjoy it without guilt.

It also comes with all the convenience of smoothies. 

It’s fast, easy, and portable, great for a quick breakfast on those busy mornings. 

It’s packed with healthy fats and essential nutrients, all wrapped up in sweetness.

Macadamia nuts provide healthy, monounsaturated fats while cacao adds antioxidants. 

They keep your gut happy, and inflammation at bay, and satisfy your sweet cravings.

All in all, it nourishes your body and boosts your energy spiking your blood sugar as other drinks do.

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 looking for an energy booster and nutrient-rich smoothie recipe, look no further.

This smoothie recipe will literally knock your socks off!!!

Packed with a bunch of superfoods, it is utterly delicious.

Not to mention, a tad of bitterness from green tea is truly addicting. It’s one drink you find yourself making three days in a row before switching it up.

But what’s really cool about this smoothie is not its deliciousness. It’s the nutritional values that come with it.

This keto green matcha smoothie contains healthy fats, potassium, and magnesium.

It’s also packed with 10 grams of protein, 8 grams of carbs, and grams of fiber. 

It’s a low-carb protein shake that can boost your metabolism and increase satiety. 

Just a word of caution. With a half avocado and coconut milk, this smoothie is super filling. You may want to treat it as a meal replacement shake than a mid-day snack.

Here’s what you to make this keto smoothie.

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

  • 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 love this triple berry keto smoothie recipe. It’s filled with all my favorite low-carb fruits: raspberry, blackberries, and strawberries. They’re the lowest in carbohydrates. 

Berries are high in fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants. Adding berries into your keto diet can help prevent many chronic illnesses and reduce symptoms. 

Berries are a good example of good things that sometimes come in a small package! 

If you are using fresh berries, add 1/4 cup of ice cubes when blending. You can also pop them in the freezer a day before to freeze them. 

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. Keto Green Smoothie

Green smoothies are not only unique in color, but they also offer unique health benefits.

This keto green smoothie is no different.

Greens such as parsley, dandelion, and chicory are nutritional powerhouses. They are loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

A green smoothie on the keto diet is a great way to improve digestive health and help the body get rid of toxins.

Not only that, vitamins and minerals from the green help satisfy your hunger and detox your body. After all the meat and cream in a ketogenic diet, a superfood reset feels more like a must. 

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of filtered water
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1 tablespoon MCT oil (Simply Good Fats)
  • 1/2 organic cucumber

5. Strawberry Smoothie Recipe 

When you are on a keto diet, anything that can add a sweet taste without adding your carb count is a true gem.

This strawberry smoothie recipe is a perfect low-carb smoothie that satisfies any sweet cravings. It’s still low-carb and very filling that you can easily treat it as a meal replacement.

6. Coconut Chia Smoothie

This is another one of the recipes that can satisfy your sweet cravings while keeping carbs low.

Not only that, with both coconut cream and Greek yogurt, it’s fully loaded with healthy fats in one drink.

On your workout day, add in a scoop of non-sugar protein to make it a perfect keto post-workout smoothie. As is, you can enjoy it as a 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,

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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,
