Start with the base: Add almond milk to the blender first. This helps the blades catch everything more easily.
Add the fats and flavor: Spoon in the peanut butter, heavy or coconut cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
Sweeten smartly: Add your keto sweetener.
Start small, then blend and taste before adding more.
Boost nutrition (optional): Add chia or ground flax for fiber, and protein powder if using.
Ice it: Add ice cubes last so they blend smoothly without clumping.
Blend: Start low, then increase to high for 20–30 seconds until creamy. If it’s too thick, add a splash more almond milk. If it’s too thin, add a bit more ice or a teaspoon of chia and blend again.
Taste and adjust: Check sweetness and salt.
A tiny pinch of salt can make the peanut butter flavor pop.
Serve: Pour into a chilled glass. For extra flair, dust with cinnamon or top with a few crushed peanuts.
