You can make this recipe coconut-free

First, altogether omit the MCT oil powder as it is derived from coconut.

To do so, use heavy cream in place of the canned coconut cream. This recipe will work well if the heavy cream is used at a 1:1 ratio, meaning you will need 1/4 of a cup of heavy cream and then you can altogether omit the canned coconut cream.

Note: If you use heavy cream in place of coconut cream, the nutrition facts will change.

Using stevia or other keto-friendly sweeteners in smoothies

I use Lakanto Classic Monk Fruit Sweetener for this ginger smoothie, but other options will work too. If you have Lakanto’s Golden version on hand, you can use that at a 1:1 ratio and you will achieve the same flavor.

Prefer to use erythritol, Truvia, or Swerve? Feel free to do so, also at a 1:1 ratio.

If stevia is your sweetener of choice, that will work too; just be sure to look on the brand’s website to determine the correct conversions. This is because stevia a lot more potent than monk fruit sweetener, so you will need less stevia, regardless if the stevia is powdered or liquid.

If you’re unsure about how much stevia to use, I suggest starting with a really small amount, taste testing, then adding more stevia based on your sweetness preferences.
