How to make this Keto smoothie?

The plant-based milk that this recipe calls for is vanilla almond milk, but feel free to replace it with your favorite type of milk. The almond butter pairs incredibly with the chocolate flavor, and adds creaminess and richness. We have also added half an avocado and chia seeds for added healthy fats and nutrients. The chocolate element in this recipe comes from unsweetened cocoa powder, which is the most Keto-friendly option. Simply blend all the ingredients together in a blender-proof cup or a blender! This recipe can be prepared in less than 5 minutes.

What are some variations to this recipe?

This recipe is so versatile that you can create many flavors out of it. You can replace the almond butter with peanut butter, hazelnut butter, or cashew butter. You can also add a little bit of instant coffee to get a mocha-flavored Keto beverage or a little bit of sugar-free caramel syrup for another layer of flavor.

What are other sweetener options that work in this recipe?

You can use any calorie-free liquid sweetener of your choice. If you use granulated or powdered sweeteners, they might not dissolve completely and sink to the bottom. The amount of sweetener you use depends on how sweet you like your smoothies.
