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.
!!!!
This smoothie 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 chocolate peanut butter 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.

jori says
January 21, 2019 at 9:34 pmI always sneak a spoonful of peanut butter for a mid-afternoon snack. I’ll have to replace that with this smoothie!

Emily Swanson says
January 22, 2019 at 2:31 pmOoh peanut butter cups on top of this would be amazing. It’s so creamy.
Taylor Kiser says
January 23, 2019 at 6:23 amWhat wouldn’t peanut butter cups be good on? LOL
Katie Harris says
January 27, 2019 at 7:53 amThis sounds so good!
I’m allergic to avacado, what would be a good substitute?
Thanks!
Taylor Kiser says
January 27, 2019 at 12:43 pmI 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
April 5, 2019 at 5:00 amMaybe a banana? I know both avacado and bananas are used for smooth texture. Try frozen bananas and this will also decrease need for ice.

February 21, 2019 at 10:51 amI 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
February 21, 2019 at 12:33 pmCan’t go wrong with PB and C right?!
Natalie says
March 31, 2019 at 10:26 amThis 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
March 31, 2019 at 10:28 amSorry *15 total g Carbs
Em says
May 16, 2019 at 4:05 pmThere’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
March 31, 2019 at 2:43 pmI’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
April 7, 2019 at 2:27 pmCan I use PB2 powdered peanut butter instead of regular peanut butter?
Taylor Kiser says
April 8, 2019 at 6:10 amYou can try, but it will totally change the taste and texture.
Mel says
May 22, 2019 at 3:43 pmThis is better than I expected it to be and I’m so happy! Thank you!
Taylor Kiser says
May 26, 2019 at 7:04 pmSo glad to hear that Mel! You’re welcome!
Charlotte says
June 2, 2019 at 7:14 pmLoved 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.
