Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup frozen blueberries (wild blueberries are great for flavor and lower carbs)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or unsweetened coconut milk for a richer texture)
  • 1/4 cup full-fat Greek yogurt (or 3 tablespoons coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon nut butter (almond, macadamia, or peanut butter)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, adds warmth and helps balance sweetness)
  • Pinch of sea salt (enhances flavor)
  • Low-carb sweetener to taste (monk fruit, stevia, or erythritol; optional)
  • Ice cubes (4–6, for thickness and chill)

Method
 

  1. Soak the chia (optional but recommended): Combine chia seeds with 2 tablespoons of almond milk and let sit for 5–10 minutes. This helps them gel slightly, creating a creamier smoothie.
  2. Load the blender: Add almond milk, Greek yogurt or coconut cream, soaked chia, nut butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Add the blueberries: Toss in the frozen blueberries. Using them frozen keeps the smoothie cold and thick without extra ice.
  4. Sweeten to taste: Add a small amount of your preferred keto sweetener. Start light; you can always blend more in later.
  5. Blend until smooth: Start on low, then move to high for 20–30 seconds. Add a few ice cubes if you want it thicker and blend again.
  6. Adjust texture and flavor: If it’s too thick, splash in more almond milk. If it needs more sweetness or brightness, add a touch of sweetener or a squeeze of lemon.
  7. Serve immediately: Pour into a chilled glass. Sprinkle a few extra chia seeds or a dusting of cinnamon on top if you like.
