Keto Cashew Cream Smoothie This flavourful and creamy drink is low-carb and oh so keto-friendly! Our favourite method is to turn to the cashew, which naturally has a buttery flavour, and when used in a smoothie makes this tempting texture that totally seems sinful but actually isn’t. This smoothie is so filling & packed with good fats to fuel your body for long hours. With its creamy texture and mild sweetness, it would also be perfect for a quick breakfast, a post-workout refuel and even as a light dessert that won’t pack on carbs.
Unlike traditional smoothies, which could end up being full of sugar, this cashew base creation is low-carb, nutrient-rich and just as delicious. The fats from cashews and cream will help to keep feeling full for a longer amount of time, and stay in ketosis. Mix it with a sprinkle of cinnamon, vanilla extract, or even cocoa powder for good measure. Whether you are running out the door or enjoying a mid-day snack, what I love most about this smoothie is that it comes together really quickly – requiring just a few ingredients and little to no prep work.
