Keto
Method
Base liquid: Pour 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk into a blender.
Berry addition: Add 75 g of frozen mixed berries. For lower carbohydrate content, use mostly raspberries and blackberries.
Ice addition: Add a handful of ice cubes to the blender.
Cream addition: Pour in 3 tablespoons of heavy cream.
Sweetening: Add 8-12 drops of liquid sweetener, adjusting to taste.
Flavoring: Add 5 ml of vanilla extract.
Blending: Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Serving: Pour into a glass and serve immediately while cold for optimal texture and flavour.
Refrigerating: Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, but stir or re-blend before serving as ingredients may separate.
Freezing: Not suitable for freezing as the texture will become icy and the dairy components may separate when thawed.
Notes
Substitute almond milk and heavy cream with equal amounts of coconut milk and coconut cream for a tropical twist. Replace berries with strawberries or any other low-carb preferred fruit. Add 15 ml of MCT oil for added healthy fats. For increased protein, blend in one scoop (approximately 20-30 g) of unflavoured whey protein powder.
