The perfect keto smoothie recipe

I am ALL for things that make my life easier. I LOVE “life hacks” and tips and tricks for saving time and making the day-to-day grind a bit less hectic. This could not be more true when it comes to cooking!

When I decided to put together a new smoothie recipe, my goal was to create something SO easy that I’d be able to successfully make it even during the busiest of mornings.

This recipe is so simple that it can be prepped and ready to serve in just five minutes, making it a perfect option for those days you’re really hungry but need to run out the door to work.

A DELICIOUS smoothie breakfast

This mocha smoothie is SO tasty! The perfect blend of flavor, this recipe uses cocoa powder, monk fruit sweetener, and espresso powder. I LOVE the coffee undertones mixed with the chocolaty flavor of the cocoa powder.

A tasty (optional) ingredient addition: MCT oil powder

Whether you’re a seasoned keto-er or you’re just beginning your journey, you may have heard about MCT oil powder. The MCTs (medium chain triglycerides) provide the body with satiating fat that will keep you full, focused, and energized between meals.

Commonly listed benefits that people mention after incorporating MCT oil into their diet is improved mental clarity, lowered blood sugar, and even increased energy!

If you’re looking for a boost of energy or an extra serving of fat, you may consider adding MCT oil powder to your smoothie! Simply add one scoop of Perfect Keto’s MCT Oil Powder and you’ll be satiated for hours to come!

A nut-free smoothie breakfast

For those with nut allergies or intolerances, this keto mocha smoothie is the PERFECT breakfast! It’s completely free of nuts, making it a quick, delicious, and nut-allergy friendly breakfast option.

How to make this smoothie dairy-free and vegan

This keto smoothie recipe can be EASILY made vegan! If you wish to substitute the dairy, simply omit the heavy cream and instead use canned coconut cream. For the perfect consistency, use 1/2 cup (120g) of canned coconut cream.
