7 Delicious Keto Smoothie Recipes
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

- Celery
- Cauliflower
- Spinach
- Other greens
- Cilantro
- Mint
Flavors:

- Keto sweeteners (monk fruit)
- Lemon juice /Lime juice
- Ginger

- Sugar-free chocolate
- Cacao powder
Optional Add-ons:

- 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.
