The 11 Best Keto Smoothie Recipes for Weight Loss

Following a ketogenic diet requires us to dramatically reduce our carbohydrate intake while increasing our fat intake. It has become a very trendy diet with a number of health benefits and most popular its links to weight loss. [1] [2] [3]

Traditional smoothies often contain high-carb ingredients such as sweeteners, fruits, milk and grains which can't be consumed on a keto diet with a limited carb intake. If you love having smoothies as a quick and healthy meal you might be sad to hear this!

Luckily, there are lots of keto smoothies for weight loss that don't contain a large number of carbs. These low carb smoothie recipes are loaded with nutrients and vitamins. They will boost your metabolism, energy levels and keep you feeling full all day.

And guess what? Low carb smoothies taste absolutely amazing!

What Are Keto Smoothies?

Keto smoothies and keto shakes are a little bit different than other smoothies because we need to keep the carb content down. Most traditional smoothie recipes are loaded with fruits that are high in sugar. For those of us on a keto diet, this is a big no-no.

Our easy keto shakes for weight loss use healthy greens, low sugar fruits and a variety of other keto-friendly ingredients. We also add protein powder and sugar-free sweeteners to add extra nutrition and sweetness. These will all help to keep you in ketosis and boost your weight loss.

Best Ingredients for a Low Carb Smoothie

As we mentioned above, most smoothies are loaded with high fructose sugars that give you a sugar rush. Keto smoothie recipes incorporate healthy fats, fiber and protein to keep you feeling satisfied with no crash.

Milk - There are a number of choices you can use for milk in keto shakes. Low carb, plant-based types of milk all work well, just go for the unsweetened options. Almond milk, coconut milk, macadamia nut milk, flax milk, soy milk, cashew milk and pea milk are great choices.

Fruit - You have to be careful with fruit because there are a lot of high fructose variants. Keto-friendly fruits include watermelon, strawberries, raspberries, peaches, cantaloupe, star fruit, blueberries and strawberries.

Greens - Adding vegetables and greens to your smoothie will give you an extra boost of nutrition and fiber. Kale, spinach, celery and avocado are all great choices.

Nuts and seeds - Get additional healthy fats, vitamins and nutrients by adding nuts and seeds to your keto smoothies. Flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts and almonds all go well with smoothies.

Healthy fats - Because we are in ketosis we need to make sure our body has a good supply of healthy fats. Adding a tablespoon of coconut oil or MCT oil is a great way to do this.

Protein - Adding a scoop of low-carb protein powder is a great way to give your smoothie a boost. With the additional protein, it will keep you feeling full and satisfied much longer. Make sure you carefully research which protein powders are keto-friendly.
