Ingredients for a Mint Chocolate Chip Keto Smoothie

It’s easy to keep the ingredients needed for this green smoothie on hand.

Coconut milk (for the best flavor, but the kind in paper cartons rather than cans, sold in Asian import stores or on Amazon. This is how coconut milk is sold in SE Asia, and it retains a better sweet coconut flavor than the canned option).
Almond Milk (unsweetened, vanilla)
Full Fat Greek Yogurt
Ice
Spinach (freeze some to always have on hand for smoothies).
Whey Protein Powder
Collagen Powder (optional)
Monk Fruit Sweetener
Peppermint Extract
Chopped Dark Chocolate, Sugar Free Chocolate Chips, or Cocoa Nibs

How to Make a Keto Green Smoothie

Step 1: Add all the ingredients into a blender, except the chocolate or cocoa nibs.

Step 2: Process the smoothie until it’s super creamy. Add the chocolate or cocoa nibs, and pulse 6-8 times to break them up into little pieces. These bites of chocolate make the smoothie!

Tips on How to Make a Keto Smoothie

Smoothies are great options on a low carb diet, if you stick to healthy fats, proteins, and low carb vegetables. Sometimes, I make keto smoothies with low carb berries, like this Keto Acai Smoothie.

Healthy Fats: Nut butters (like almond and sunflower seed), coconut milk, coconut oil, and dark chocolate are great additions to add staying power to keto smoothies.
Protein: I love whey protein powder and collagen in my smoothies to add a pop of protein. I also use Full Fat Greek Yogurt, which adds a delicious tangy flavor and some additional creaminess.
Liquid Base: Avoid juices in low carb smoothies. Green tea, coffee, almond milk, and coconut milk all make delicious bases for keto smoothies.
Fruit: Most fruit should not be added to low carb smoothies. Small amounts of blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and acai berries can be added.
Vegetables and Greens: Smoothies are a great way to sneak in low carb veggies! Try spinach, kale, zucchini, and cauliflower. I freeze these veggies and throw them into smoothies once in while.
Sweetener: Avoid sugars in smoothies, and use non-caloric sweeteners. My favorite is monk fruit sweetener, but if you enjoy stevia, it’s a good option as well.
