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.

Nut butter – one of my favorite variations is to make a berry smoothie with peanut butter
Collagen shake – putting collagen protein in smoothies can add amino acids that aid in tissue repair.
Post-workout smoothie – 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.
Add avocado – half an avocado adds creaminess and nutrients
Chocolate – add some homemade Chocolate Sauce, or blend in ½ teaspoon of raw cacao powder for the best chocolate strawberry smoothie
Swap out the vanilla – try adding almond extract instead
Use different berries – for a mixed berry smoothie or replace the strawberries with your favorite berry
Herbs and spices – such as crushed lavender flowers or thyme. Add some powdered ginger, cinnamon or even rose water.
MCT powder – is a keto-friendly supplement for some extra energy
