Peanut Butter Low-Carb Keto Smoothie With Almond Milk

You’ll never be tempted to skip breakfast again after tasting this Peanut Butter Low-Carb Keto Smoothie With Almond Milk!

Who is guilty of skipping breakfast when you are running late and have a hectic schedule? I know I am. But I have realized that every time I skip breakfast, I spend the rest of the morning running extremely low on energy.

So, I decided to whip up a recipe for a morning smoothie that’s filling, keto-friendly, and packed with protein to make sure I’ve got tons of energy and I’m not hungry halfway through the morning. Introducing: My peanut butter, low-carb keto smoothie with almond milk!

It’s rich, nutty, and chocolaty with a hint of creamy avocado, and it’s perfect for busy mornings, lazy afternoons, or that post-dinner sweet fix. This smoothie is designed to cater to keto, low-carb, gluten-free, sugar-free, vegan, and even Paleo diets (just swap in almond butter), making it a universal crowd-pleaser!

The best part? It’s ridiculously easy to whip up. Toss everything in the blender, hit blend, and voilà—keto smoothie perfection in no time!

Is This Peanut Butter Low-Carb Keto Smoothie Healthy?

Absolutely, this smoothie is as healthy as it is delicious! Packed with healthy fats from the avocado and peanut butter, it’s a great way to stay full and energized.

The almond milk keeps this smoothie dairy-free, while the monk fruit sweetener gives it a sweet kick without the blood sugar spike. Plus, the unsweetened cocoa powder sneaks in some antioxidants for good measure.

Want to make it even healthier? Swap out the peanut butter for almond butter or sunflower seed butter to cut back on saturated fats. For an extra boost of nutrition, throw in a handful of spinach, ground flax seeds, or a scoop of protein powder.

How Is This Smoothie Keto?

If you’re new to the keto diet, here’s the deal: the diet focuses on keeping carbohydrates low and fats high to help your body go into a state of ketosis. This is where it swaps from burning carbohydrates for energy to burning fat for energy, and this can be helpful when trying to manage weight.

This smoothie is keto gold because it’s loaded with healthy fats from the avocado and peanut butter, while keeping net carbs in check thanks to the almond milk and monk fruit.

The secret to turning any smoothie keto-friendly is smart ingredient swaps. Skip sugary fruits like bananas and go for low-carb stars like avocado, raspberries, or blackberries. Replace traditional sweeteners with keto-approved options like monk fruit, stevia, or erythritol, and don’t forget the fats! Nut butters and coconut cream can transform a regular smoothie into a keto powerhouse.

Serving Suggestions

While this keto smoothie is the perfect meal by itself, I also love to have it for dessert after dinner. It follows on perfectly from Steak With Garlic Butter Mushrooms or Baked Salmon with Cilantro-Lime Cauliflower Rice, or this Chicken No-Noodle Soup.

For keto-friendly snacks or desserts to enjoy with your smoothie, I recommend these No-Bake Chocolate And Peanut Butter Fat Bombs, these Granola Bars, or these Blueberry Muffins With Almond Flour.
