You’ll add some ice and sweetener of your choice to sweeten it if your berries are a bit tart, but that is optional.

See the keto berry smoothie recipe card at the bottom of this post for exact quantities.

Instructions

Making your low-carb berry smoothie is easy. Simply place all the ingredients into a high-speed blender, close the lid, and let it blend for 15-30 seconds.

Then pour your smoothie into a cup or drink it directly from the blender if it’s an individual blender cup. If you like your smoothie thicker, add more ice and blend again.

Hint: Add your ice to the blender last. Pouring liquid over the ice will make the ice melt faster.

Substitutions

Only a few ingredients are used to make this smoothie. If you have an allergy or something that doesn’t fall within your dietary restrictions please see the list below of easy substitutions your can make.

  • Nut Allergy – instead of almond milk, use unsweetened coconut milk, flax milk, hemp milk, or even regular milk instead of unsweetened almond milk. Keep in mind this will change the nutritional values and may no longer be dairy-free.
  • Coconut Cream – replace the coconut cream with plain full-fat yogurt, Greek yogurt, or leave it out all together. Yoghurt will add extra protein for a quick keto protein shake.
  • Fresh berries instead of frozen? – Frozen berries are often cheaper than fresh berries and they make the smoothie ice cold. But if fresh berries are in season you can definetly substitute fresh berries instead of frozen.

The substitutions above can be extremely helpful if you also have family members or friends with dietary restrictions who would like to try this smoothie recipe.

Variations

Now that you have added this keto berry smoothie to your meal plan, you may decide it is time to mix it up. If you are looking for a new twist on this smoothie the variations below will make sure there is a flavor that the whole family will love.

Make it high protein keto smoothie – add a scoop or two of your favorite keto protein, keto protein powder, peanut butter, almond butter, or whey protein to drink as a meal replacement and keto protein shake after your exercise.

Chocolate berry keto smoothie – Add a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to the blender before mixing your smoothie.

Keto mint smoothie – Mix in a few leaves of mint for that fresh minty flavor.

Choose your favorite berry – in the mood for just one type of berry? Why not try a keto blueberry smoothie recipe! Frozen blueberries are a low-carb berry that is quite inexpensive.

Low-carb smoothies (extras) – why not add vanilla extract? Low-sugar syrup (or make your own keto maple syrup). And if you need to take MCT oil (for medical reasons) then this is the perfect keto-friendly recipe to use.

Equipment

A blender and measuring spoons/cups are all you need to make this smoothie. Any blender will do.

If you are using a stick blender, be sure to add your ingredients into a tall jar to make your smoothie. This will keep the contents in the jar rather than splashing around your kitchen!

Storage

Smoothies are best when you serve immediately. If for some reason you can’t drink your smoothie right away, it should be stored in the refrigerator for no longer than a day.

The ice in the smoothie will melt, but the smoothie will still be incredibly refreshing and hydrating.

Top tip

If you are adding keto smoothies to part of a meal plan I recommend pre-measuring your ingredients (minus the almond milk) into individual storage containers or ziplock baggies and storing them in the freezer.

When you are ready to make your keto berry smoothie, simply dump the prepped ingredients, add the almond milk, and blend!

    My kids made this yesterday before heading out for basketball. They absolutely loved it and want it again (which is a miracle with my picky eaters). Thank you for always making family-friendly healthy recipes.

    I have tried many keto smoothies and this is the best by far. I often throw some keto protein powder or protein collagen powder in for an extra punch of protein before a workout.

    I used unsweetened almond milk, allulose sweetener, coconut cream, ice, blueberries raspberries and blackberries. The only change I suggest, is to use way more frozen berries than 1/4 cup. I used a whole cup. It is delicious!!! Easy. I think I will add protein powder and fiber next time.
