Why you’ll love this 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.

Keto smoothie recipe FAQs

    Hi, I’m needing (smile) to make these smoothies. What would you suggest if I don’t have espresso powder? Should I wait until I buy some? Thanks very much for your great recipes!

      You could use instant coffee powder!

    I’m sorry, but Monkfruit sweetener has 6 carbs per tsp. Where is all that fiber that you canceled out the carbs with coming from?

      No, Lakanto’s monk fruit sweetener contains 4g total carbs per serving (0g net carbs per serving). The fiber listed in the nutrition label includes the total fiber content and sugar alcohols of the ingredients.

      Heavy cream, monk fruit sweetener (amounts to 0g net carbs), cocoa powder, espresso powder. Every ingredient aside from salt, water, and ice cubes in this recipe contains carbs.
