Ingredients
  

  • Macadamia nuts: Raw, unsalted. Whole or pieces are fine.
  • Unsweetened canned coconut milk: For maximum creaminess. Light coconut milk works if you want it lighter.
  • Unsweetened almond milk or macadamia milk: To thin the smoothie without adding carbs.
  • Vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste: Real vanilla gives the best flavor.
  • Low-carb sweetener: Erythritol, allulose, or a monk fruit blend. Liquid stevia also works.
  • Ground cinnamon: Optional, but adds warmth and dessert-like notes.
  • Sea salt: Just a pinch to enhance flavor.
  • Ice: For chill and body.
  • Optional boosters: Collagen peptides or unflavored whey isolate, MCT oil, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, or avocado.

Instructions
 

  • Add the liquids: Pour 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk and 1/2 cup unsweetened almond (or macadamia) milk into the blender.
  • Add the nuts: Add 1/4 cup raw, unsalted macadamia nuts.
  • Flavor it: Add 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon, and a small pinch of sea salt.
  • Sweeten to taste: Start with 1 to 2 teaspoons of your preferred keto sweetener. You can always add more after blending.
  • Ice it: Add 1 to 1 1/2 cups of ice, depending on how thick you like it.
  • Boost if you want: Add 1 scoop collagen peptides or 1/2 scoop unflavored whey isolate for protein. Add 1 teaspoon MCT oil if desired.
  • Blend until silky: Blend on high for 30–45 seconds, until completely smooth and creamy. Scrape the sides if needed and blend again.
  • Taste and adjust: Check sweetness and thickness. Add a splash more milk to thin or a few ice cubes to thicken. Add a touch more sweetener if needed.
  • Serve right away: Pour into a chilled glass. Sprinkle a little cinnamon on top if you like.
