Why Choose a Keto Peanut Butter Cup Smoothie?

Sticking to a keto lifestyle can be challenging, especially when you have a sweet tooth. Fortunately, this smoothie not only tastes like a decadent dessert but also supports ketosis. Here’s why it’s a great choice:

• Low in Carbs – Made with keto-friendly ingredients, this smoothie won’t disrupt your macros.
• High in Healthy Fats – The combination of peanut butter and low-carb milk provides sustained energy.
• Packed with Protein – A great option for post-workout recovery or a satisfying meal replacement.
• Rich in Antioxidants – Dark chocolate or cocoa powder adds a boost of beneficial compounds.

Ingredients Keto Peanut Butter

• Heavy whipping cream or coconut cream

You can make this recipe vegan by using coconut cream instead of heavy cream but it won’t be as thick.

• Unsweetened almond milk

• ice cubes

There is no exact amount if ice the you “have” to use. You can even skip if if you want.

It just provides the “iciness” that a lot of people look for in their chocolate shakes.

• Unsweetened Peanut butter– the creamy kind of course

Feel free to exchange this with powdered peanut butter. Or you could exchange half for peanut flour. It will make your shake very thick though.

Of course you know that you should be using the “natural” kind of peanut butter in this recipe.

When I first started eating “Keto” I hated “natural” peanut butter. I hated that the oil separates out of it and I hated the mess that stirring a new jar creates.

But, I discovered a trick.

Before I open a new jar of natural peanut butter I always store it in the fridge UPSIDE DOWN for at least a couple of hours.

• Cocoa powder– unsweetened

Feel free to use less of this ingredient if you don’t like dark chocolate.

It’s pretty interesting and includes all of the nutrition facts, benefits of each.

• Allulose or sweetener of choice to taste.

Me and my boyfriend  are fully Keto adapted and we only use 1-2 tbsp of sweetener. But, I was getting a lot of complaints about it not being sweet enough so I altered the recipe.

Feel free to add as much as you like. It won’t affect the carb count.

I really have been  loving Allulose lately. It’s a rare sugar and doesn’t upset my stomach at all.

If you don’t have powdered allulose on hand just put granulated allulose in the blender first and “blend” before you add anything else.

This will make it finer and help it melt into your shake better.

Or, you can use any sort of low carb sweetener that you like.

• Salt– optional but great.

Sweet and salty…need I say more? If you are the type that shakes a little sea salt on top of your low carb ice cream or enjoys salted caramel, add it.

The salt really enhances the flavors in a way that no other ingredient does.

How to make

• Put everything in the blender and whip it up until it’s smooth and fluffy.
• Pour and enjoy.

📋Tips & FAQ’s:

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Nope. Smoothies are best served right away. It’ll separate and have a funky texture if you make it ahead of time.
