Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.
- (Optional) For an extra touch, top with whipped cream and crushed graham crackers before serving, if desired. Use any crumbed keto / low-carb sweet crackers or cookies, like this easy keto 3-ingredient shortbread cookies, or just mix powdered keto sweetener with toasted almond flour.
Notes
- Strawberries: Each medium strawberry contains 0.9 net carbs. For keto, I suggest 1/3 cup or about 4 strawberries. If low-carb or not following a diet, feel free to increase the amount of strawberries to 1/2 or 2/3 cup.
- Protein powder: Micellar casein makes the thickest and creamiest shake. Second best powders for smoothies are whey + casein blends, egg white protein or plant protein (like pea or hemp - use flavored). Whey protein isolate does not yield an exceptionally creamy smoothie.
- Sweetener: Use any keto friendly sweetener you prefer (liquid monk fruit or stevia drops, or erythritol / allulose). If adding a flavored protein powder (vanilla, strawberry or cheesecake protein powder) you might not need to sweeten it. Taste the smoothie before serving and add sweetener to taste as needed, then blend a couple of seconds more to mix it.
