Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until thick and creamy, about 10 seconds.

Notes

TIP: If using fresh strawberries, it may be best to slice them in half so they blend easier
TIP: Ice cubes are optional, especially if using frozen strawberries. If using a Nutribullet, it may be best to let the frozen berries sit in the almond milk mixture for a few minutes to soften them slightly. And, if you choose to use ice in your Nutribullet, it's best to use crushed ice, rather than cubes. If you're using a larger blender, like a Vitamix, it can blend ice cubes and frozen berries easily.

Variations and add-ins

Keto smoothies are so versatile.  There are many ways to blend up smoothie magic and add more nutrition.  It’s fun to play around with different ingredients to create your own favorite.
  • Add a tablespoon of your favorite nut butter – one of my favorite variations is to make a berry smoothie with peanut butter
  • Try a collagen protein shake – putting collagen in smoothies can add amino acids that aid in tissue repair.
  • Make a luscious post-workout smoothie – this is a great way to refuel and ensure faster recovery.  Add some protein such as protein powder or nut butter.  Include some electrolytes to blend in with the fruit. Ultima has the BEST electrolyte powders. The blue raspberry, peach bellini and appletini are my absolute favorites.
  • Make a strawberry cheesecake smoothie by adding in a tablespoon of cream cheese
  • Create an avocado strawberry smoothie by adding ½ of an avocado which adds creaminess and nutrients
  • Blend in ½ teaspoon of raw cacao powder for the best chocolate strawberry smoothie
  • A shot of your favorite syrup can add a whole new dimension
  • Try adding almond extract instead of vanilla
  • You can add other berries for a mixed berry smoothie or replace the strawberries with your favorite berry
  • Add some herbs and spices, such as crushed lavender flowers or thyme. Add some powdered ginger, cinnamon or even rose water.
  • Since this is a strawberry smoothie without yogurt, feel free to add in up to a ½ cup for extra protein, calcium, probiotics and creaminess
  • For an additional energy boost, a shot of espresso for a coffee smoothie is just so good
  • MCT powder is a keto-friendly supplement for some extra energy
  • Enhance your immunity by adding reishi, turkey tail or agarikon mushroom powder
  • Create a fun, blue smoothie by adding blue spirulina
