Keto Chocolate Smoothie
Keto Chocolate Smoothie
"This low-carb, high-protein chocolate smoothie will make you look forward to your mornings. It takes only 5 minutes to make and offers plenty of keto nutrition alongside a decadently creamy, chocolate flavor. Make it for a quick grab-and-go lunch or drink it with your breakfast to boost your morning protein intake. This smoothie has a particularly good balance of healthy fats and protein. You’ll get heart-protecting MUFAs from avocados and almond butter, anti-inflammatory omega-3s from chia seeds (or flax, if using), and MCTs from the coconut milk. "
NotesIngredient Alternatives - Most smoothie recipes are pretty forgiving when it comes to tweaking. This one is no exception. You can replace the chia seeds with 2 tablespoons flax meal or even Glucomannan powder. You can also use almond milk in place of coconut milk or peanut butter in place of almond butter. Keep in mind that this will slightly alter the smoothie’s macro composition.
