NOTES & TIPS

(1) Almond Milk. Almond milk is used for its lower carbs compared to dairy milk. You can substitute with other nut milks, ideally unsweetened and plain. Find them in the refrigerated fresh milk section of a grocery store. To determine if your nut milk is unsweetened, look at the carton’s nutrition facts — it should only have 1 gram of total carbs per 1 cup serving. Anything more than that and it’s likely sweetened with a lot of added sugars (meaning it’s not low carb) and your drink will end up tasting too sweet.
(2) Raspberries. You can substitute with another kind of berry, like strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries. In general, berries tend to be lower in carbs compared to other fruits. I use fresh ones, but frozen ones should also work well. If you’re looking for non-fruity flavors, check out other keto drink recipes like Chocolate Avocado Smoothie and Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake.
(3) Sweetener. Confectioners Swerve is a dry erythritol blend that measures the same as regular powdered sugar. Note that in terms of volume, confectioners (powdered) sweeteners measure differently than granulated sweeteners since they pack differently into a measuring cup. Either powdered or granulated will work for this recipe. Substitute your preferred dry or liquid sweetener by blending in small amounts at a time until your desired sweetness is achieved.
(4) Blending. I use a Nutribullet to blend the smoothie; it’s a personal blender, not a full-sized one. The blender container is actually a cup that’s inverted onto the blender base. It works great for small liquid amounts, and produces a very smooth drink.
(5) Serving. If not serving right away, keep the smoothie chilled in an ice bath. Separation is normal so give the smoothie a stir before drinking. In the photos on this page, the smoothies are served in 8 fluid ounce glass “milk bottles.” They come with lids, which makes it easy to shake up the smoothies if they’re made ahead of time.
(6) Adjusting Yield. You can halve or double the ingredients proportionally. If increasing the yield, check that your blender has enough capacity for the increased amount of ingredients.
(7) Carbs. The nutrition calculation assumes you are using Swerve or a similar erythritol-based sweetener that uses sugar alcohols, whose carbs are non-impact and therefore not included in the nutrition estimate. Apps that count sugar alcohols will show a higher number of carbs.

Delicious! I substituted the raspberries with cacao and reduced the Swerve to 1 1/2 tbl sp. And it was the most delicious chocolate shake! Thank you!

Didn’t have any eggs this morning so was searching for a breakfast idea and needed to use ingredients I had on hand. What a great find. My husband loved it.

WOW is the only word that can describe the taste of this drink. I really can’t believe it’s Keto. You need to sell your recipe to Starbucks for a Keto version of the pink drink!

Oh my gosh, you are my hero! This is amazing! Thank you for such a great recipe. I didn’t have cream cheese but ironically had mascarpone on hand which worked perfectly! Can’t wait to make again!

What are your thoughts on splenda?

Splenda is fine to use in this recipe. It uses sucralose and measures the same as sugar. I usually opt for erythritol-based sweeteners but sucralose is a great alternative.

So I have an issue, you have 150 calories or kcal but in actuality, a 1/4 cup of heavy cream is 200 calories alone so the drink is around 400 calories. It is delicious but I hope I can omit the heavy cream.

Sounds like you’re assuming the recipe yields 1 serving? The recipe actually yields 2 servings, and the calorie information is for each serving.

I haven’t tried that before. I imagine there will likely be quite a bit of separation, so you’ll need to shake it up again.

If you’re trying to follow a low carb diet, then no I wouldn’t recommend using honey as a sweetener unless you plan to use a very small amount of it.
