It’s keto smoothie weather, if that is even a thing! If you’re anything like me, warmer weather means more ice-cold fun drinks, and who doesn’t love keto smoothies?
Store Bought Keto Smoothies Are a “No”!
Many store bought smoothies are full of sugars and preservatives, so making them at home has always made the most sense to me. I can add what I want, I can enjoy it when I feel like it, and home-made also means it is not ridiculously priced!
Variety is the Spice of Life
The fun part about smoothies is that you will never run out of variety. You can also add chia seeds for added fibre, you could add nuts, sweetener, coffee, protein, collagen, MCT oil, avocado, or coconut flakes. As long as your choices will keep you in ketosis, you can customize yours in whatever way you choose.
This is a recipe I personally love. It’s simple enough that I can just make it and go, but it also feels like a delicious treat:
Keto Blueberry Cheesecake Keto Smoothies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Almond milk (any milk alternative will work)
- 2 ounces (¼ cup) Cream Cheese
- ¼ cup Fresh Blueberries – or any keto friendly berries you prefer
- 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder (I recommend the one from Perfect Keto)
- 5-10 drops Liquid Stevia or sweetener of your choice
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract
- 6-7 Ice cubes
Place them all in your blender and mix for around 2 minutes or until it is thick and creamy, pour it into your favorite jar or cup and enjoy, that is it!
Alternatively, for a dairy-free option you can do the same with the following:
Key Lime Pie Keto Smoothies:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of water
- ½ cup of unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup of raw cashews
- 1 cup of spinach
- 2 tablespoons of shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons of lime juice
Smoothie’s are a perfect way to get in important nutrients and vitamins, and they are a convenient snack when you are on the go. Many people like to have a smoothie to break their fast when intermittent fasting, and some just love a smoothie as a snack or dessert item.
The goal is always to keep them high in fat and fibre, and low in carbs.
There was a time I thought smoothie’s would not be a healthy option for keto. I was used to sweet smoothies full of sugars, ice cream, high sugar/carb fruit, and in sizes that no person should be drinking!
Little did I know that with some research and consideration, I could make keto smoothies a delicious part of my life again!
Now when I make a smoothie I know I’m putting the best possible ingredients into my body, I am maintaining my weight and my health, and most of all I am enjoying every sip until the very end.
I hope y’all enjoy this keto smoothie season as much as I will! Let me know in the comments if you would like more smoothie recipes, strawberry season is among us!

Strawberry smoothies are actually my favorite so any recipes you have would be great!! I made a blueberry one yesterday with frozen berries instead of ice – was perfect! Thanks!
These sound great! Trying one today!!
Thanks for the recipes.
I’m looking forward to trying these , I’m always looking for keto smoothie recipes.
I just took advantage of the “free” ketones even though I’m in Canada and had to pay $14 shipping.
Thank you for posting these and for all you do.
I think you mean the electrolytes? I don’t personally recommend ketones
I’m going to try the blueberry cheesecake one. I see so many smoothie recipes, but they all have bananas in them.
Thank you. The sounds delicious ‼️
Thank you for sharing
Key lime sounds delicious.
Thanks for the recipes.
Thank you so so much for the Smoothie recipes!!! I’m always trying to figure out how to change it up. My biggest problem with trying to lose weight is figuring out what I can eat that’s different. I find I get bored really easily, and get tired of eating the same thing. I love Smoothies as my breakfast option!!! I would have never thought to put cream cheese in a Smoothie!!!
Thanks so much for all you do Amy!!!
I love smoothies! Thanks for the ideas!
Sounds yummy!! What is your take on Dr. Berg’s Keto shake?
Don’t know much about it but as I mentioned in the post smoothies in general are so much better made at home without being premixed etc
Hi, I have recently learned almond milk is mostly chemicals. How do you feel about that?
Thanks Sarah
Thank you! Any coffee smoothie recipes? 😍
The Logiq coffee (instant) mixed with ice and almond milk maybe a bit of cream could totally work too. Avocado could work well with coffee too (sounds weird but almost chocolate like!)
Yummy smoothies sound great. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing these smoothie recipes. I just got a blender so I will be trying these.
I appreciate all your help and encouragement you give to help so many!!
i never really thought about having a smoothie, but these sound amazing. cant wait to try them
Smoothie very good how many carbs/ calories?
Almond milk and cashews are high in omega 6, which can create inflammation. I know the replacement for Almond do you know anything for cashews. Smoothie sounds good, just need to watch omega 6.
You could just use water 🙂
Thank you so much Amy for the smoothie recipe! I love them and have some fresh blackberries growing in my backyard!
Today I tried the Keto Blueberry Creamcheese Keto Smoothie and it was delicious! I’ll be making these for lunch on regular basis. Thank you, Amy.
