PIN Keto Low Carb Smoothie With Almond Milk
Oh hey! Hi! Hello! It’s MONDAYYYYY.
Which means you’re probably wishing you were still snuggling in bed on a cozy weekend morning but, alas, you’re running around like the crazy-busy-gotta-get-the-week-rollin’ kind person that I know you ARE.
HOLD IT RIGHT THERE THOUGH. Just because you’re busy and running around does not mean I am giving you permission to skip breakfast. You know it IS the most important meal of the day and it’s going to give your busy-body the ENERGY and PUNCH that it needs to OWN the WHOLE week.
PLLLLUS, like, it’s FOOD and it’s the best way to start the day. It’s one of the MAIN reasons that I look forward to bed besides, well, SLEEPPPPP. We all know that bedtime is really just a time machine to BREAKFAST.
For those busy-no-time-to-cook kinda mornings when you were not your usual meal-planning-prepared self with some cookie dough overnight oats or breakfast egg muffins at the ready, this low carb breakfast smoothie is going to come in REALLLLLLL handy.
Are smoothies low carb?
Many smoothies out there, especially the ones you buy from smoothie shops, are not low carb as they are made from fruit, usually with added sweeteners.
I personally think that fruit sugar (and really any kind of sugar in moderation!) is a-okay, but I know a lot of you internet friends are doing the “low carb thing” soooooo a SUGAR FREE SMOOTHIE situation just sort of seemed in order.
Even though I’m a fruit smoothie inclusivist – a healthy strawberry watermelon smoothie or mango avocado smoothie is totallllly my jam – I am feeling VERY 100 about this no carb smoothie because it tastes like a swirly-twirly, frosty and CREAMY peanut butter cup or keto chocolate peanut butter fat bomb!
!!!!
This peanut butter chocolate protein shake is just going out to ALL the people of the universe who have found themselves in their pantry, chocolate bar in one hand, jar of peanut butter in the other, just DUNK DUNK DUNKING away, only to wake up in a protein peanut butter cups coma and not even being ONE BIT mad that they don’t know how they got there.
Exxxxcept, you WILL know how you got there because all-star low carb breakfast shake makin’ you put all 5 ingredients in a blender, pressed GO and entered the peanut butter chocolate coma VERY willingly and in a way that did not leave you with a massive sugar headache.
IMO if I’m gonna go into a sugar coma situation, it’s not going to be on Mondays. I feel bad enough just LIVING on Mondays without ANYTHING to make it worse, ya feel me?
But on Saturday……ALL BETS ARE OFF.
That’s a story for a different time though. Todays story is a peanut butter keto low carb breakfast smoothie with almond milk.
Or “normal” milk. Or cashew milk. Or oat milk. Or WHATEVER milk variety makes your heart happy.
You know what is also going to make your heart happy? Avocado. <– Heart healthy fats SAY WHAT?!
Happy, healthy heart. Happy, healthy stomach. Happy, healthy Y-O-U.
An easy-peasy breakfast that is just winning on ALL levels.

Oh lordy you had me at swirly-twirly, frosty and CREAMY peanut butter cup. This sounds to-die-for, or should I say to-WAKE-for? Love it!
Taylor Kiser says
Haha! Thanks Laura!
Laura says
Think this can be made with an immersion blender? I have a vita mix but oh lord, hate to get it out just for this.. haha sounds like a great keto treat!
Taylor Kiser says
I have no idea as I haven’t used one!
Teresa Wilson says
I am sure it can…I make smoothies all the time with my immersion blender?
Tracy says
Oh heeeyyy avocado! Love this addition! And damn who would want to skip breakfast when it looks like this?!
Taylor Kiser says
So glad you’re into it Tracy!
Melissa says
Can this be made with powdered eyrithritol?
Taylor Kiser says
Sure thing!
jori says
I always sneak a spoonful of peanut butter for a mid-afternoon snack. I’ll have to replace that with this smoothie!
Taylor Kiser says
Thats the best snack Jori!
Tisha says

Cookilicious says
Just saved this to my breakfast board on Pinterest! Love the facy that this is keto friendly!

Emily Swanson says
Ooh peanut butter cups on top of this would be amazing. It’s so creamy.
Taylor Kiser says
What wouldn’t peanut butter cups be good on? LOL
Katie Harris says
This sounds so good!
I’m allergic to avacado, what would be a good substitute?
Thanks!
Taylor Kiser says
I can’t tell you for sure, as I haven’t tried anything else. I’m sorry! You could try more peanut butter? but I can’t guarantee it will work!
Donna D says
Maybe a banana? I know both avacado and bananas are used for smooth texture. Try frozen bananas and this will also decrease need for ice.
Heart rate says
It looks so yummi. I’ll try your recipee today. Thanks a lot!
Heart rate says
Sorry, I forgot to rate the recipe.
Taylor Kiser says
Thanks! 🙂
Cassie Autumn Tran says
I have seen THREE keto smoothie recipes already–this one looks so freaking delicious! Peanut butter and chocolate, OMG–best pairing in the dessert world!
Taylor Kiser says
Can’t go wrong with PB and C right?!
Natalie says
This sounds great but on Keto I’m trying to stay at 20 grams of total carbs per day and this smoothie has 18 grams of total carbs. Any suggestions on making it lower carb?!
Natalie says
Sorry *15 total g Carbs
Em says
There’s 6.1 net carbs in this (=total-fibre-sugar alcohols), which is still a lot in the scheme of your whole day. It’s not VERY keto. But it is mostly keto.
You’d have to plan your day accordingly if you wanted this for breakfast.
Cos 6.1 is just less than a third of your daily intake.
[NB: unless the “sugars” in the nutrition label means sugar alcohols, which means this recipe is actually 2.8 net carbs, but assume 6.1 unless told otherwise]
Taylor Kiser says
I’m sorry but all the ingredients are pretty necessary!Typically people subtract the fiber and this has a lot of fiber. I’m not keto so I’m not sure what to tell you!
Connie Witherby says
Can I use PB2 powdered peanut butter instead of regular peanut butter?
Taylor Kiser says
You can try, but it will totally change the taste and texture.
Mel says
This is better than I expected it to be and I’m so happy! Thank you!
Taylor Kiser says
So glad to hear that Mel! You’re welcome!
Charlotte says
Loved it had it as a treat last night the only thing I changed was I added 2 &1/2 packets of sweet n low because it’s about the only sweetener I can tolerate. I will defently be making this again.
Thanks for sharing.
Taylor Kiser says
Yay!! So glad you liked it!
Emily Watts says

Taylor Kiser says
Glad you like it!
Alberto Olmeda says
After getting tired of eating eggs and bacon everyday for breakfast on the keto diet, I was anxious and desperate to try something new. I followed recipe accept for the avocado instead I traded it for a tbsp of coconut oil and damn this is one of the best keto discoveries I’ve found. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe.
Mary McCune says
So smooth, yummy and satisfying. I make
it as a dessert.
Taylor Kiser says

Kim
Taylor Kiser says
I really can’t tell you as I haven’t tried. Sorry! Let me know if you try!
Julia says
I just tried this tonight and OMG I’M A FAN NOW!! I just started Keto and usually get chocolate cravings at night. This definitely helped a lot with that tonight. Going to be annoying and introduce this recipe to everyone !!!! Good stuff!!
Taylor Kiser says
YAY! I’m so glad!
ADRIENNE says
To those that have tried this, can you really taste the avocado? I am definitely not a fan of them, but love the nutritional value and heart healthy fats.
Taylor Kiser says
I don’t think you can and have others love this but I’ll let people respond
Linda says
Absolutely no avocado taste, this is really really good. Tastes like you’re cheating 😉
Taylor Kiser says
Yay! So glad you liked!
Susan says
Does anyone have a substitute for the Monkfruit? Thanks!
me says
Damn, person, you do talk a lot before letting people know that damn recipe!
Taylor Kiser says

Afs says
Haven’t tried this recipe but sounds amazing. Question:shouldn’t you be using unsweetened almond milk to lessen the sugars/carbs for keto?
Taylor Kiser says
Yes – it is unsweetened. Sorry if the recipe isn’t clear!
Laura Merillat says
This is so good it is dangerous. This is the second morning in a row I have had this for breakfast. I have been keto for over the last two years and I just make sure that I work the carbs into my daily allowed amount.
Taylor Kiser says
Yay! So glad you like it!
Anna says
Great pics. Hard to go wrong with PB and Choc. I make a similar using cacao powder and maple syrup as my sweetener but use almond butter. I’ve heard of of Monkfruit as a sweetener but never used it. I am going to going to look into more now. Thanks
Taylor Kiser says
You’re welcome!
Patrick Jenkinson says
I’m confused. This says 15g carbs but on the Monkfruit package it says it’s 4g carbs per TEASPOON or 4g. The recipe calls for 3 TABLESPOONS which is 45 g which means 3 tablespoons is 45 g carbs That means this smoothie has WAY more carbs than it says. Am I missing something?
Taylor Kiser says
The carbs in monkfruit don’t count!
Wana says
Super tasty and filling!
Taylor Kiser says
I’m so glad!
Michelle says
Oh my goodness! I have been using a protein shake to make a so-so smoothie in the mornings. I will definitely be making this instead. It was amazingly delicious and filling!
Thank you for sharing!
Taylor Kiser says
I’m so glad!
