Description
Make a rich, low-carb smoothie featuring chocolate and strawberry flavors that fits your ketogenic diet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon MCT oil or coconut oil
- 1 scoop low-carb vanilla or chocolate protein powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sweetener to taste (e.g., stevia or monk fruit drops)
- 4–5 ice cubes
Instructions
- Place the almond milk, frozen strawberries, cocoa powder, heavy cream, MCT oil, protein powder (if using), vanilla extract, and sweetener into a high-speed blender.
- Add the ice cubes last.
- Secure the lid and blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary.
- Taste the smoothie and add more sweetener if desired. Blend briefly to incorporate.
- Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a thicker smoothie, use fewer ice cubes or add 1/4 avocado for extra healthy fat and creaminess.
- Substitute heavy cream with 1/4 cup of full-fat canned coconut cream for a richer texture.
- If you prefer a less intense chocolate flavor, start with 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder and increase as needed.
