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.

I absolutely love this smoothie. I substituted PB powder as that was what I had on hand. Delicious! However I would caution anyone on keto that the nutrition info here is dead wrong. It’s much higher in carbs (and that’s considering that 1/2 the sugar alcohols don’t count towards net carbs). I am calculating 17g of net carbs per smoothie if you use PB powdered — probably more if you used peanut butter. If you are on the keto diet, please calculate recipes on your own before trying anything online, particularly on blogs where the author is not knowledgeable of the keto diet. With that being said, this is a damn good smoothie and is far more nutritious than anything you could otherwise make. It’s just not keto friendly unless this is all you plan to eat all day.
