Recipe For Keto Protein Smoothie

When you’re looking for a low carb keto protein shake that’s thick, creamy, and fruity, add this one to your list! It’s made with just 7 basic ingredients and is ready for slurping in a matter of minutes.

There are keto friendly protein shakes out there, but many of them are filled with artificial preservatives and processed ingredients — and many other protein shakes are not suitable for a keto diet at all, as they are loaded with sugar. That’s why I prefer to make my own homemade sugar-free protein shakes.

While I’m not a big fan of meal replacement shakes instead of actual keto meals, some people do have success with keto protein shakes for weight loss. And even if you’re not replacing a meal with this shake, it’s totally delicious as a snack or light keto breakfast.

Unlike most shakes, it’s not filled with excess sugar, carbs, or processed ingredients. Instead, we’re using berries to flavor and sweeten (the best low carb fruit!), along with Wholesome Yum Keto Simple Syrup. It has a neutral taste, zero net carbs, and is perfect for sweetening all kinds of keto drinks.

I will be the first to admit that I am a fair weather smoothie drinker. My husband loves them and will happily drink them in the middle of a snowstorm. But I need it to be hot and sunny out before I crave an icy drink of any kind.

Meal Replacement Keto Shakes (5 Flavors!)

Many keto smoothies and shakes suffer from being too thin, but these are surprisingly thick. So thick that when I accidentally spilled one while taking photos, it didn’t even run off the table. I was able to scoop most of it back into the glass with a spoon!

The flavor makes it over-the-top good. I wouldn’t be all dreamy-eyed about a keto protein shake if it tasted like many of the store-bought ones do. They’re either too sweet or have an artificial aftertaste. But this smoothie is bright and fresh, and perfectly balanced.

You don’t need me to tell you how to blend smoothies and shakes up in a blender. But I do have some tips for you to get it super smooth and creamy. And also to make it exactly to your tastes!

Keto Smoothie Recipe (low Carb, Sugar Free)

1. Put the frozen fruit in first. This way, the blades catch it first and really blend it up. I find that if I put in the liquids or yogurt first, I tend to get a few berry chunks.

2. Blend once, stir, then blend again. I have a really good blender, but I still recommend stopping the blender and getting in there with a rubber spatula. Push any chunky pieces down toward the blades.

3. Use crushed ice, not ice cubes. A little ice gives the protein shake added volume but also keeps it colder for longer. But bigger pieces of ice don’t break up nearly as easily.

Vanilla Chia Seed Protein Smoothie

You can also do other additional flavors besides lemon. Use another flavor of electrolyte powder or use True Lime. Or just use some vanilla extract, because raspberry and vanilla are delicious together. Really, the flavor variations are endless.

I recommend unflavored protein powder, as the flavored varieties can overpower the delicate taste of the raspberries. Many of them also contain added sugars and carbs. You can use whey protein, egg white protein, pea protein or collagen protein for this recipe.

The smoothie does not rely on the sweetener for consistency, so you can use what you like best. I recommend a powdered or liquid sweetener to avoid any grittiness.

Plant Based Keto Protein Blueberry Smoothie

Yes, you can make this dairy-free too! Use some thick coconut cream and coconut milk in place of the yogurt and heavy cream. Just be aware that the nutritional counts will change and it may be slightly lower in protein.

Not all protein shakes and mixes are keto friendly, so it’s advisable to read the labels carefully. Look for shakes that are under 7 or 8 grams of total carbs. Better yet, make your own keto friendly protein shakes at home. It’s easy and you can control the ingredients. They taste far better too!

You can use many forms of protein powder on the keto diet, such as whey, egg white, pea, or collagen. Just make sure the powder you use does not contain a lot added sugar or fillers. I like using unflavored whey isolate or egg white protein in many of my recipes, as they typically have zero carbs.

Low Carb Raspberry Smoothie

The carbs in protein shakes differ significantly depending on the ingredients. This Raspberry protein shake recipe has 7.9g of carbs and 3g of fiber per serving, so it has only 4.9g net carbs.
