Strawberry Cheesecake Keto Smoothie Recipe
This easy keto smoothie recipe only requires 4 simple ingredients, plus I give additional options to kick it up a notch. A smoothie is the best way to get in a quick breakfast first thing in the morning.
Servings: 1
Calories: 224
Equipment
- high-speed blender
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ½ cup unsweetened frozen sliced strawberries (note 1)
- ½ cup ice cubes
- 1 ounce cream cheese
- ½ serving low-carb vanilla protein powder (click for my favorite) (note 2)
- 1-2 tablespoons sugar free powdered sweetener (click to see my favorite) if desired (note 3)
Instructions
- Add the liquid first for easier blending, then follow with the rest of the ingredients.
- Blend until smooth: start with a slower speed if your blender has that option, then increase the speed and continue to blend until completely blended. Pour into a glass and serve.
Notes
- Fruit: you can use fresh or frozen fruit. I like sliced frozen strawberries because they have the least amount of carbs. I have also used frozen blueberries and raspberries.
- Protein powder: I like to add some protein powder for a nice protein boost. Otherwise you have a keto smoothie that isn't very filling. I use Vanilla Premiere protein. I use ½ serving but a full serving will also work for even more protein.
- Sweetener: If you add the protein powder and it is sweetened, you probably will not need additional sweetener.
