Keto smoothies are an amazing trend that’s taking off across recipe blogs everywhere – and we can see why.
A keto diet can be tricky to get the hang of at first (it’s about eating a lot of vegetables and proteins and fats…right?)
That’s why I often suggest starting out your keto diet by mastering some super simple and tasty recipes (like smoothies) to use as your go-to meals when you’re stuck for ideas.
Why I Love Keto Smoothies
Another reason I love to suggest keto smoothies? The variety!
I’ve experimented a lot with my Magic Bullet and found that sometimes even the most unlikely combinations can create something really delicious.
Have you ever considered adding kelp, or maybe switching out that milk for herbal tea?
Try it!

This is one of my absolute favourite keto smoothie recipes because I'm a sucker for raspberries and crunchy snacks. All you need is raspberries, chia seeds, spices, a splash of vanilla almond milk and voila! A perfect breakfast or snack smoothie that's completely keto-friendly.

This smoothie is perfect for those of us on a low carb, high fat diet looking for a tropical twist. Pineapple and coconut come together to make this refreshing breakfast that's keto friendly.
Net Carb note: I always like to calculate my net carbs by subtracting the Fibre from the Total Carbs. In this case, 35g total carbs minus 19g of fiber leaves us with 16g net carbs. You might want to save this one up as a treat as it is slightly higher on the carb scale for those on a very strict Ketogenic regimen.
If you're simply wanting to reduce your carbs and sugars or are now Keto-ish then this is the perfect recipe for you.

Net Carbs: when calculating net carbs we subtract the fibre from the total carbs. Fibres are not absorbed by the body. Our net carbs in this smoothie: 19g fibre minus 35g total carbs comes out to 16g of net carbs.
