Keto/LC Smoothies

I love a good smoothie, but I find that protein powders are expensive and full of chemicals.
Also, premade shakes are expensive and have the after taste!
I decided to experiment, and my first was a total success!
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup liquid heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp granular splenda
About 4 drops vanilla extract.
I put this in the blender, then on into the freezer for about an hour.
It was so yum! It had 5 protein and 6 fiber and 2 NC!
I will be using this for a few meal replacements!
What do y'all do for creative smoothies?

Hardly seems worth it for only 5g protein... Are you sure the numbers are correct?2

This is more of a fat bomb and unless you are already at your desired body fat % or weight, then this is actually detrimental to fat loss. The amount of protein is hardly worth the amount of calories.1

I'm new to this but this was what I stumbled across and it was great! filled me up til lunch time
half an Avocado
1/2 cup, Spinach
1/2 cup, Coconut Milk
3/4 cup of water
few ice cubes
1/2 tsp, Vanilla extract
1 tbsp(s), Brain Octane
Couple drops of Stevia Liquid Extract
one scoop of Collagen Hydrolysate
MFP put it out to 494 cal, 44 grams of fat, 8 net carbs and 15 grams of protein.0 -
Sounds like a good dessert, but I would personally seek a more nutrient and protein rich meal.

Lowish carb smoothie I've done and enjoyed as a breakfast when I was LCHFing:
Protein powder (I like sugar free Biochem, natural or vanilla) (90 cal, 1 carb)
About half an avocado (128 cal, 7 carbs, 5 fiber)
75 g spinach (17 cal, 3 carbs, 2 fiber)
85 g fennel (26 cal, 6 carbs, 3 fiber)
unsweetened coconut milk (box kind), 1 cup (45 cal, 1 carb, 1 fiber)
Total=306 calories, 18 g of carbs, but 11 g of fiber, for net 7. Also has 25 g of protein and 17 g of fat.1 -
These all sound great also! I am really not using it for a heavy meal just light snack/light meal. It has around 250 cals in it. It makes for a yummy treat also and a replacement for ice cream and milk shakes.0

I personally just melted coconut oil instead of using hemp oil, as I didn't have any on hand. I did use some heavy cream in it sometimes... But the protein from the hemp seeds is awesome.2
