Keto Smoothies

When you need an energizing, easy breakfast, keto smoothies are perfect for a tasty boost! With a few simple ingredient swaps, you can make a low-carb smoothie that tastes amazing and will keep you full for hours. Of course, I had to include coffee in it… I have it in my desserts, in my cocktails, you better believe I’ll turn it into a smoothie!

Keto smoothie recipes are hard to find because most smoothies are full of sugary fruits and juices. Avoid that sugar-crash-in-a-glass and instead let your body indulge in quality high-fat ingredients that will help you feel great all day. Bonus: All these ingredients are easy to find and keep on hand for a go-to healthy habit!

Why you’ll love it:

  • Quick & easy to make – Forget cooking or reheating anything first thing in the morning. You can blend this smoothie together in 5 minutes with your eyes half closed.
  • Can be healthy or indulgent – With just 1 or 2 add-ins, you can turn this into a green smoothie or something closer to a mocha milkshake! Whether you want to add more fiber, protein, or other vitamins and minerals, you can easily adjust this to become your favorite keto smoothie.
  • Perfect way to keep you on track – If you’re new to the keto diet, finding a simple, low-carb breakfast that is easy to fit into your routine will help you build your keto lifestyle!

Keto Smoothie Ingredients

Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll need for this easy low-carb smoothie recipe. You will find exact measurements in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.

  • Coffee – I used my favorite cold brew coffee, but you can easily just brew a cup and let it cool off first. I have not tried this with any substitutions.
  • Frozen Avocado – This can be mashed, pureed, or cubed, whatever is convenient. You can use fresh avocado, but you’ll want to add ice to help make your smoothie cold.
  • Full-Fat Coconut Milk – You want the canned coconut milk, unsweetened. Give it a good shake before opening to get the best consistency. You could use coconut cream, heavy cream, or a low-carb Greek yogurt if you prefer. You can use unsweetened almond milk, but it will make the smoothie quite thin.
  • Nut or Seed Butter – I used peanut butter, but an almond butter (or pecan, cashew, or macadamia) would be great as well. Sunflower butter or even tahini are good nut-free options as well.
  • Monk Fruit Sweetener – You could also use Swerve, Stevia, or another alternative sweetener if you prefer. If you’re sensitive to the erythritol in a lot of alternative sweeteners, try a few drops of this liquid monk fruit instead.
  • Ground Cinnamon & Vanilla Extract – These add a great, full-bodied flavor that we loved! Feel free to skip, substitute, or adjust these how you’d like without worrying about much effect on the texture of the smoothie.
  • Optional: Unsweetened Cocoa Powder – I sprinkled a bit on top for a pretty garnish, but sometimes I add a scoop into the blender for a chocolate smoothie! This isn’t necessary, just adds a nice touch.

How to Make a Keto Smoothie

This recipe is incredibly easy and requires no cooking at all! You just need a blender, and you’re good to go. Simply pour all of the ingredients into your blender and give it a whirl! When the mixture is smooth and creamy with all the ingredients well mixed, you can pour into a glass and serve! Even better–Use a blender with a to-go cup to save time and dishes!

I know it sounds a bit odd, putting avocado in a smoothie. But it really doesn’t taste like anything, so this recipe just tastes like a coffee peanut butter smoothie! Want to make it extra special for a birthday, a big interview, or a special occasion? Add some homemade espresso whipped cream!

What to serve with keto smoothies

I’ll often have this smoothie on its own (or with some Grain Free Granola I tossed in my bag), but if it’s going to be a really long day, I love warming up a Keto Sausage and Biscuit just in case I have to skip lunch! If you love a sweet treat in the morning, consider adding a Keto Blueberry Muffin or a Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll instead. For those who prefer one big meal to get them through the day, get your protein from this Steak Omelet, add more fiber with this Swiss Chard, and enjoy a Keto Biscuit on the side!

Can you make smoothies ahead of time?

The best keto smoothies are super chilled and creamy. The best way to make this happen is to make the smoothies fresh with at least one frozen ingredient. The frozen avocado blends into a super cold, creamy mixture that helps thicken the smoothie without watering it down like ice would. Freshly blended smoothies have the best taste, texture, and appearance.

Healthy, Low-Carb Smoothie Add-Ins

There are so many healthy additives you could use in this easy smoothie! For the smoothest blend, consider blending your additives with half of the coffee FIRST, then adding the remaining ingredients and blending again. This can help prevent a gritty texture from the fibers, powders, etc.

  • Greens – Spinach is a popular addition to smoothies because it has a mild flavor, and you can get it processed super small in the blender. Kale, collards, celery, and other greens can also work well, but they may require a little extra blending and may have a stronger flavor. Blend them with half of the coffee until smooth before adding the remaining ingredients and blending again.
  • Seeds – Chia seeds have 0 net carbs, 5 grams of fat, 3 grams of protein, and 75 calories in 1 tablespoon. Adding 1 tablespoon of hemp seeds adds 0 net carbs, 4 grams of fat, and 3 grams of protein for about 50 calories. For the best texture, soak them in half the coffee first for about 5 minutes.
  • Supplements – Protein powder, collagen powder, superfood powders, and other products meant to add specific vitamins and minerals are perfect for smoothies. This smoothie already has a ton of healthy fats, so you can probably skip the MCT oil.

If you love this keto breakfast, you have to try these easy recipes!

  • Keto Lemon Chia Cheesecake Parfaits – It tastes like dessert but is an excellent no-cook keto breakfast! Each one has under 4 net carbs and is easy to make ahead of time.
  • Bacon Keto Biscuits – These are perfect for meal prepping, freezing, and then enjoying on-the-go after a quick reheat! Works for breakfast or lunch, just 2 net carbs apiece.
  • Air Fryer Denver Eggs – When you want a fancy omelet but don’t have the time, this easy ramekin recipe is the perfect compromise!
  • Sausage Stuffed Chaffles – Seriously, this is SO easy! There’s tons of protein and fats to keep you fueled and energized throughout your day.
  • Keto Sausage Egg & Cheese Bites – A whole breakfast rolled up in neat little baked breakfast balls! These low-carb bites are freezable and reheat perfectly for a great meal prep option.

Keto Smoothie FAQs

Are smoothies keto?

The ketogenic diet is all about reducing your sugar intake or anything that could cause a blood sugar glucose spike, then fueling your body with healthy fats. Most smoothies include tons of fruit, meaning they have way too many grams of carbs to be keto-friendly. While some berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries) can work with a keto diet, most fruits contain too many sugars. This keto smoothie avoids sugary fruits and blends avocado with coffee, peanut butter, and coconut milk for a thick smoothie at just 5 net carbs each.

Do you have to use MCT oil in a keto diet?

No, MCT oil or keto supplements are not a necessary for the keto diet. The main benefit of MCT oil is the added boost of fat, but we naturally get great, high-quality sources of fat in the avocado, coconut milk, and peanut butter in this smoothie.

Is peanut butter keto?

There are many peanut butters out there that add in sugar, corn syrup, or other sweeteners, making them a poor ingredient in a keto diet. However, there are tons of peanut butters that keep carbs low and ingredients simple, so you just have to check the label.

    How to make Keto Peanut Butter Bars

    This recipe has several steps, but it’s still very easy to make! This recipe is perfect for beginner cooks or a family meal prep day! The majority of the work takes place in a food processor or a very strong blender.

    First, you’ll start by grinding your peanuts in a food processor until it crumbles to the consistency of graham cracker crumbs. Then you’ll incorporate your creamy ingredients (like butter, sweetener, and peanut butter), followed by coconut flour and vanilla extract. This multi-step process will require you to scrape the sides of the processor down with a spatula several times, but the stop-and-go is worth it for these delicious bars!

    Finally, scrape the thick batter onto a pan (8×8 lined with parchment paper). Spread it to a nice even layer and allow it to chill for 30 minutes. While this is chilling, heat the heavy cream and add chocolate and peanut butter. Remove from heat and stir until super smooth. Pour this over the chilled peanut butter layer and chill for another hour before cutting and serving.

    How to store No Bake Peanut Butter Bars

    These peanut butter bars are best kept chilled in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. To keep fresh for longer, freeze and eat within 3 months for the best taste and texture. These will get softer as they get closer to room temperature, so keep that in mind if serving for a party or gifting to others.

    When storing these, make sure to place a layer of parchment or wax paper between the bars if storing on top of one another. This will help prevent them from sticking or getting misshapen.

    Tips for the BEST Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars

    • Use a high-quality food processor or blender. This mixture is very thick, and weaker appliances may not be able to handle this.
    • Make sure to line the pan with parchment paper, aluminum foil, or wax paper before spreading the mixture. The peanut butter layer is quite sticky, and it would be very difficult to remove pieces if you put this directly into an unlined pan.
    • Use roasted peanuts or roast raw peanuts for this. Roasted peanuts are able to achieve a creamier texture and provide a greater depth of flavor. You can use salted or unsalted (if using salted, make sure to use unsalted butter).
    • Don’t skimp on the chilling time. You want the peanut butter layer to be cold and well-set so that the warm chocolate layer doesn’t melt and seep into the peanut butter layer. If you don’t allow it to chill long enough before cutting, you’ll have a gooey mess.

    These No Bake Peanut Butter Bars are full of crunchy peanuts and rich dark chocolate! These bars are under 3 net carbs the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth!

    What to serve with No Bake Peanut Butter Bars

    This is the perfect afternoon treat to power you through the rest of a long day, especially when served with a Keto Frappuccino (maybe try this Salted Caramel version, or this Mocha one?)! This Vanilla Bean Frappuccino is low carb and a great option if you don’t love coffee or if you’ve got a little one wanting some homemade Starbucks, too!

    For a nighttime treat, serve these No Bake Peanut Butter Bars with a Keto Hot Cocoa with Espresso Whipped Cream

    Tips for Making Crockpot Peanut Clusters

    • Be sure not to forget that the Crockpot chocolate peanut clusters are cooking! If you overcook the candy, the chocolate will become hard. 
    • If you do find your chocolate is slightly overcooked, you can add a spoonful of coconut oil and it will help to soften and blend beautifully. 
    • Do a taste test before adding salt. Depending on the brand and type of peanut butter or peanuts you use, it might already have the perfect amount of salt. Do a quick taste test before adding extra sea salt.

    I’ve got a real treat for you today! Sometimes your sweet tooth calls and you need something quick and easy to satisfy it. These chocolate peanut butter fat bombs are just the ticket!

    My go to sweet snack lately has been this Keto Peanut Butter Fudge or these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies. Both are insanely delicious and freezer friendly, so I make a big batch and then pull them out one at a time. 

    Even though I love those other sweet snacks, these Peanut Butter Chocolate Fat Bombs are my new obsession!

    What Are Fat Bombs? 

    Since keto is a low-carb, high-fat diet, you have to make sure you eat enough good fats each day. Fat bombs are high in fat and make it easier to reach your daily fat quota. 

    In this particular recipe, the fat bombs have less than 1 net carb per bite and contain 5.2 grams of fat. Fat bombs always have a fat source — in this case coconut oil. Other types of fat bombs you may see could contain cream cheese or butter as their fat source. 

    Overhead view of chocolate peanut butter fat bombs piled in a green bowl.

    Ingredients for Chocolate Peanut Butter Fat Bombs

    This recipe for keto chocolate fat bombs has only four simple ingredients:

    How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Fat Bombs

    Making keto fat bombs is as simple as melting the ingredients together in a pan! Here’s how this keto peanut butter snack is made:

    1. For this recipe, I use a small saucepan and melt coconut oil, a keto friendly sweetener, peanut butter and sugar free dark chocolate chips.
    2. Stir the mixture as it melts until it is completely smooth.
    3. Once smooth I remove the pan from the heat and allow it to cool slightly, 5-10 minutes or so.
    4. Then, carefully spoon the mixture into a silicone mini muffin tin and freeze. 

    I like to sprinkle my keto chocolate peanut butter fat bombs with sea salt for that sweet and salty combo. I think it really makes the flavors pop, but it’s entirely up to you. 

    Overhead view of chocolate peanut butter fat bombs piled in a green bowl.

    What Type of Peanut Butter Should I Use for Fat Bomb Recipes? 

    Look for a low-carb, sugar-free peanut butter. You’ll want to use a creamy peanut butter to make this recipe. 

    Tips for Making the Best Keto Fat Bombs 

    • You can use granular sweetener if you prefer, but the confectioners does provide a smoother texture.
    • I freeze the fat bombs in a silicone mini muffin pan and once they are frozen I remove from the pan and store in a freezer bag. They’ll last up to three months. 
    • I like to let them thaw 3-4 minutes before eating them. This way, they melt in your mouth like fudge!
