Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Unsweetened almond milk (or unsweetened macadamia milk)
  • Full-fat coconut milk (canned) or heavy cream
  • Vanilla extract (pure)
  • Ground cinnamon
  • Granulated or liquid keto sweetener (erythritol, allulose, or stevia blend)
  • Chia seeds or ground flaxseed
  • Collagen peptides or unflavored whey isolate (optional, for protein)
  • Ice cubes
  • Sea salt
  • Optional extras: MCT oil, almond butter, nutmeg, sugar-free vanilla syrup

Method
 

  1. Add 1 cup unsweetened almond milk to your blender as the base.
  2. Spoon in 1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk (or 2 tablespoons heavy cream) for creaminess.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  4. Sweeten to taste with your preferred keto sweetener. Start with 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of granulated allulose or erythritol, or a few drops of stevia, and adjust after blending.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon chia seeds or 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed to thicken and add fiber.
  6. If using, add a scoop of collagen peptides or unflavored whey isolate for extra protein.
  7. Drop in a pinch of sea salt to brighten the flavors.
  8. Add a large handful of ice (about 1 to 1 1/2 cups) for a cold, thick texture.
  9. Blend on high for 30–45 seconds, until smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a splash of almond milk. If it’s too thin, add more ice or another 1/2 tablespoon chia and blend again.
  10. Taste and adjust sweetness or cinnamon. Pour into a chilled glass and sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top if you like.
