Keto Strawberry Smoothie is a low-carb and absolutely delicious item; nothing can beat the kind of recipe that is just as easy as it is delicious! Most fruit smoothies use bananas, honey, or sweetened yogurt to create that creamy feel, but not this one!
A few fresh or frozen strawberries will give you natural sweetness and the loveliest bright taste, ever tasted, while unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, or heavy cream gives you a creamy and rich base. Greek yogurt or a scoop of keto protein powder is often added for protein and to get that nice creamy texture. Adding in a touch of vanilla extract and low-carb sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit is even better.
This smoothie tastes great and is full of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, antioxidants, and healthy fats that help to keep us full and keep us going. It’s great as a fast breakfast, a post-workout recovery shake, or an afternoon p, pick-me-up. You could mix in extra chia seeds, flaxseed meal, or even a swirl o,f sugar-free whipped cream.
Low in carbs, light and refreshing, this low-carb strawberry is a perfect easy smoothie for the ketogenic diet.PS: this one will keep you feeling full at least for a long time, which is exactly what you want from a keto-friendly casual, expansive drink that feels like an indulgence, but you’re back on track.
