So what are some of your favorite or go-to smoothie recipes? Any good lo-carb books you've found for them too?

Thanks

Amy

    1/2 c. Frozen Blueberries
    1TB almond butter
    1 c. So delicious unsweetened vanilla coconut milk
    1/2 c. So delicious unsweetened plain yogurt
    2c. Frozen Spinach

    Low sugar and pretty low carbs. I was still able to make my 50f 30p 20c macros

    I'm keto now so I can't do this but when I'm low carb I love this smoothie:

    1c unsweetened almond or cashew milk
    1 scoop whey protein (vanilla or cookies and cream are my go tos)
    1/2 an avocado
    1c mixed berries
    a handful of spinach
    sometimes I'll add cinnamon as well.

    I'll let you mix and match these ingredients. Some keto friendly options are:

    Liquids - Almond mik, water
    Thickener - Low carb ice cream (Breyers Carb smart for ex), Low carb/full fat greek yogurt, avocado
    Veggies - Spinach, Kale
    Optional Mix ins - Protein powder of your choice, chia seeds, flax seeds, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, peanut butter, coca powder, flavoring (vanilla extract, banana extract, sugar free syrups, etc)
    Optional Fruit - Raspberries, blackberries - very few

    Example: Almond milk with coca powder, 2 tbsps almond butter or peanut butter, 1 scoop of vanilla protein and ice = Reese peanut butter cup shake. If it's too thin add some low carb yogurt or ice cream.
