The ketogenic or keto diet is a term for a low-carb diet. It’s based on getting calories from proteins and fat instead of carbs. Since smoothies are often made of high-carb ingredients like fruits and milk, you may think you need to forget about them. Fortunately, this isn’t true; you just need the right recipes.
Read on to learn more.
Keto Strawberry Smoothie
This smoothie requires only three ingredients: milk, condensed milk or Greek yogurt, and strawberries. Of course, when we say milk, we mean keto-friendly milk like almond, soy, or coconut. Strawberries can be fresh or frozen, depending on your preference.
All you need to do is combine the three ingredients and blend. If you want a thick smoothie, add some ice to the mix. You can also add various seeds, nuts, and nut butter if you want to spice things up a bit.
During hot summer days, place this smoothie in the freezer for a few hours, and you’ll get a delicious frozen treat.
Peanut Butter Smoothie
Peanut butter is packed with healthy fats, so it’s no surprise it’s a common ingredient in keto-friendly smoothies. Besides peanut butter, this delicious smoothie requires almond milk, avocado, monk fruit, and ice.
Put all ingredients in your blender, turn it on high, and blend until you get a creamy, even texture.
Since this smoothie is full of fats and protein, it will keep you full for hours.
Enjoy Keto
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to give up smoothies on the keto diet. Although it’s true you need to be more careful about the ingredients, creating keto smoothies can be fun and tasty.
