Preparing this Keto strawberry smoothie is quite simple, allowing for quick preparation even on a busy Monday morning. To keep the recipe fresh and avoid monotony, continue experimenting with different ingredients, ensuring that the replacements and additions you choose are keto-friendly.
Add all the essential ingredients to the blender jar, including unsweetened almond milk, protein powder, chia seeds, vanilla, and strawberry extract. To achieve the desired thickness and consistency, blend the mixture for approximately 2 minutes, pausing to check the smoothie's texture every 30 seconds.
After blending, allow the smoothie to rest for about 20 minutes; this waiting period lets the chia seeds fully absorb the flavors. Then, pour the mixture into a large glass and garnish with your preferred toppings.
If you'd like to add a dollop of heavy keto whipped cream on top, consider incorporating the chia seeds into the mixture later to maintain their distinctive nutty flavor.
