Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (keto-friendly, low-carb)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream (for extra creaminess)
  • 1 tbsp MCT oil or coconut oil (optional for healthy fats)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for enhanced flavour)
  • 4 ice cubes
  • Low-carb sweetener (stevia/erythritol) as per taste

Equipment

  • 1 Blender
  • 1 Measuring Cups
  • 1 Measuring Spoons
  • 1 Glass Or Shaker Bottle

Method
 

  1. Get the hardware ready: get together almond milk, cream cheese, cocoa powder, heavy cream, sweetener, vanilla, food coloring and ice.
  2. Blend well: transfer everything into a high-speed blender to make sure it is all mixed well.
  3. Blend: Cover the blender and blend on high speed for 30–45 seconds until smooth, creamy, and frothy.
  4. Taste Your Sweetness: Taste the mixture, and if necessary add more sweetener as you like.
  5. Thin to Taste: If too thick, thin out with a splash more almond milk; if necessary, toss in more ice or cream cheese to thicken.
  6. Rest: Allow the shake to sit for 1–2 minutes so the flavors can meld and thicken a bit.
  7. Serve: Divide between a tall glass, top with whipped cream if desired and drink straight away while cold.

Notes

  • Make it with chilled almond or coconut milk for a little added freshness.
  • Toss in chia seeds or flax seeds for even more fiber.
  • For a desserty shake, add a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream.
  • For shakes on the thicker side, use less milk and some extra ice.
  • Other hidden carbs: Be sure to read your protein powder label and look for these words “added sugar.”
