Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 scoop unflavored or vanilla keto-friendly protein powder (optional)
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream or MCT oil
1 tablespoon chia seeds
5 drops liquid stevia or sweetener to taste
4-5 ice cubes
Instructions
Place the almond milk, frozen strawberries, cocoa powder, protein powder (if using), heavy cream or MCT oil, chia seeds, and sweetener into a high-speed blender.
Add the ice cubes last.
Secure the lid and blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary.
Taste the smoothie and add more sweetener if desired. Blend for a few more seconds.
Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
For a thicker texture, reduce the amount of almond milk slightly or add 1/4 avocado.
If you do not use protein powder, consider adding 1 tablespoon of almond butter for extra fat and satiety.
Use unsweetened cocoa powder to control the sugar content strictly.
