Keto Strawberry Cream Smoothie - Thick, Sweet, and Satisfying
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen strawberries (unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or macadamia milk)
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons full-fat Greek yogurt or coconut cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit blend (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- 4 to 6 ice cubes (adjust for thickness)
- Optional add-ins: 1 tablespoon MCT oil or avocado oil, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 scoop unflavored or vanilla collagen peptides
- Optional garnish: a dollop of whipped cream, a sliced strawberry, or a sprinkle of unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Add almond milk and heavy cream to the blender first. This helps the blades catch the frozen fruit.
- Add frozen strawberries, sweetener, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend on low to break up the strawberries, then increase to high until smooth and pink.
- Add ice a few cubes at a time and blend again until you reach your ideal thickness.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or add more cream if you want a richer body.
- Pour into a chilled glass. Add optional whipped cream or a strawberry slice on top.
