- Blender
- 1/2 cup blueberries ((fresh or frozen))
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk ((or any low-carb milk of your choice))
- 1/4 cup full-fat Greek yogurt ((ensure it's unsweetened to keep carbs low))
- 2 tbsp almond butter ((for healthy fats and added richness))
- 1 tbsp chia seeds ((for fiber and a nutritional boost))
- 1 handful of spinach ((optional, for added nutrients and color))
- Stevia or erythritol to taste ((optional, for those who prefer a sweeter smoothie))
- Ice cubes ((optional, depending on your preference for thickness and temperature))
- Prepare Ingredients: If you’re using fresh blueberries, ensure they’re washed. For a thicker smoothie, you can freeze the blueberries ahead of time.
- Blend the Smoothie: In a blender, combine the blueberries, unsweetened almond milk, Greek yogurt, almond butter, and chia seeds. If you’re adding spinach for extra nutrients, include it now. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth.
- Adjust Consistency and Taste: If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency. Taste the smoothie and, if needed, add a bit of stevia or erythritol for sweetness. Remember, the goal is to keep it keto-friendly, so be mindful of the sweetener.
- Serve: Once your smoothie has reached the desired taste and consistency, pour it into a glass. If you prefer your smoothie cold, blend it with ice cubes or serve it over ice.
- Enjoy: Enjoy your keto blueberry smoothie as a nutritious breakfast, snack, or even a dessert alternative.
- This smoothie combines the antioxidant-rich blueberries with healthy fats and proteins to keep you full and satisfied, all while keeping your carb intake low. Feel free to adjust the ingredients based on your nutritional needs and preferences.
