Perfect Keto Blueberry Smoothie

This keto blueberry smoothie is great for a quick low carb breakfast. Dairy-free and so refreshing, it would also make a perfect post-workout snack! It contains only 4 simple ingredients.

I used to drink plenty of smoothies before I started eating low carb. I'd add lots of fruit and ALWAYS a banana to thicken it. Which tasted great, but essentially I was drinking a huge glass of sugar.

The good news is that there is no need to give up fruity smoothies when you are on a keto diet. You just have to be mindful of WHICH fruit you put in and HOW MUCH.

This low carb blueberry smoothie recipe is so refreshing, creamy and naturally sweet. And even better, it is just 4.8 grams of net carbs per portion.

I often make this smoothie in the mornings when I want something light yet nourishing. My kids enjoy it too, they ask for it regularly.

Ingredients

This recipe is so simple, without powders or fancy ingredients.

1. Blueberries: I'm using frozen berries, which helps thicken the smoothie. If you want to use fresh berries, be sure to add an ice cube or two to make it thick and frothy.
2. Unsweetened almond milk: Or use any other nut milk of your choice - or unsweetened coconut milk.
3. Avocado: I added about ¼ small avocado. This makes the smoothie super thick and creamy. Avocado is incredibly nutrient-rich - it contains nearly 20 vitamins and minerals, plus healthy fats.
4. Vanilla extract: Unless you add powdered sweetener, the smoothie is not particularly sweet. To give it a more mellow, warm flavor, I always put in a little vanilla extract.

Instructions

There really is only one step: Put all ingredients in a blender jug and blend until smooth!

High-speed blenders will give the smoothest, creamiest result.

Variations

If you have a sweet tooth, add 1-2 teaspoons of powdered sweetener such as allulose, xylitol or erythritol. Or, add a few drops of stevia.

Use strawberries, raspberries or blackberries instead of blueberries - or a mix of all.

If you use fresh blueberries, add a few ice cubes to the smoothie. Or, use frozen avocado.

For a thicker smoothie, add 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter.

As an alternative to the vanilla extract, try using a squeeze of lemon or lime!

I sometimes add a handful of spinach leaves. Just be aware that this will change the colour and make it a bit grey-ish.

Heavy whipping cream and cream cheese would definitely taste good in this recipe. But I'll be honest with you - this would make it less of a healthy smoothie and more of a dessert.

Storage

This blueberry smoothie is best when it is fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day.
