Best Blueberry Chia Smoothie

About

A smoothie is a great go-to snack or breakfast that can keep your tummy happy until your next meal. This low-carb blueberry smoothie is naturally vegan friendly with just a hint of fruit from a small portion of blueberries and a healthy dose of protein from chia seeds.

What ingredients can you swap in this recipe?

In place of almond milk, you can use any other plant-based nut milk. Instead of coconut cream, you can use heavy cream. Although xylitol has been used to add extra sweetness to the smoothie, this can be subbed for your preferred low-carb sweetener or omitted altogether. Coconut oil has been added for additional fats but this can be subbed for MCT oil or omitted altogether.

Can you add more ingredients?

Of course, you can add whatever fits your preference. If you want a more nutritious meal first thing in the morning, you can add spinach, flax seeds, or any other ingredient that has a subtle flavor. You can also add vanilla-flavored protein powder for a protein-filled smoothie.

Is this recipe suitable only for breakfast?

Nope! You can have this Keto blueberry smoothie at any time of the day. You can enjoy it for lunch, as a snack, or as a pre or post-workout.
