Low Carb Shakes Recipe Notes
Here’s everything you need to know about whipping up these bad boys:
Ingredient Notes
- Check your yogurt! Use a low carb / high protein greek yogurt combo to really get the most out of this ingredient.
- Same goes for your milk. A low carb milk helps keep this smoothie in a healthy carb range.
- Freezing your berries allows them to contribute to the creaminess of this low carb smoothie. Plus, they’re always available.
Tools To Make
All I use to make this keto strawberry smoothie is a blender! Using a good one is helpful to get the ice well incorporated, so if you don’t have on, maybe look into a Blendtec or Vitamix.
Be sure to add milk first, then the other ingredients. This saves me from using some sort of utensil to scrape down the sides and bottom (remember – no dishes is the goal!)
Storing Tips
Smoothies will keep for a little bit once mixed up. I just pop a lid on the blender and store any leftovers in the fridge…
…But don’t wait too long. The ice will met, and it will be less “low carb strawberry smoothie” and more “cold strawberry soup.”
Can You Freeze This?
Freezing the INGREDIENTS for this keto strawberry smoothie ahead of time will actually help it to be even more smooth, creamy and delicious!
Meal Prepping Tips
Smoothies are great for meal prep because you can bag all the ingredients together, taking this ALREADY fast recipe to record-breaking levels.
Simply prep your ingredients (besides your milk) into individual small serving baggies and freeze. Then, you can just pop them into your blender with your milk and you’ll have breakfast in no time.
Recipe Variations
This low carb strawberry smoothie is an easy healthy recipes fave, especially because I can customize it however I want:
- Have berries I need to use up? Perfect!
- Feeling like chocolate? Throw in some carob chips of cocoa powder!
- Need to up the protein count? Throw in some protein powder!
How Can I Make This A Healthy Breakfast Smoothie?
I’m one of those people that can always go for ice cream. Unfortunately, society frowns on dessert before noon, but that’s where this keto breakfast smoothie saves the day…
Sometimes I add in some chia, flax or hemp hearts to really make this a healthy breakfast option that even I forget isn’t from my freezer!
Can I Add Greens To This Healthy Smoothie?
Even though this low carb strawberry smoothie is pretty in pink, healthy smoothies come in all shades of the rainbow.
Not only are keto green smoothie recipes super instagrammable, but they’re also a great way to get in some much needed veggies. I just toss in some spinach and avocado instead of (or in addition to) the berries, and bam – a healthy milkshake, plus a boomarang as a bonus!
How Can I Make This Into Low Carb Meal Replacement Shakes?
This low carb strawberry smoothie makes for a great keto breakfast just as it is. But to make this a bit more of a meal, throw in some whey or plant based powder to transform this into a low carb protein shake.
Make sure you choose one that’s low carb and that you enjoy the taste of! Be sure to add it in after your liquid so that it blend in seamlessly.
How Can I Make This A Creamy Low Carb Smoothie?
This low carb strawberry smoothie can easily be turned into a keto milkshake with a few simple tweaks…
Sometimes I swap the milk for heavy cream, which makes it absolutely LUSCIOUS, and one of the best keto snacks!
Or, make it a keto peanut butter smoothie by adding in some natural peanut butter! The oils in the PB really make this smoothie thick and delicious. Plus, low carb and sugar means this smoothie is great anytime of day!

Lindsey's Tips
- Lakanto, Swerve, or Erythritol. I stick to Lakanto and Swerve which are a 1:1 swap with traditional sugar. If using a different brand of Erythritol, keep in mind it's 70% as sweet as sugar, so you may need to add more to taste.
- Milk. I swap between unsweetened light almond or coconut milk.
- Nutritional information is based on 1 smoothie, if you make 2 smoothies using this recipe, and was calculated using whole milk Fage (for Greek yogurt), and ISO Pure vanilla protein powder:
I made the recipe using chocolate protein powder instead of yogurt. I did add one packet of Stevia. It was so good!
Sounds great Chris! thanks for sharing your tweaks!?
I’m looking for some good smoothie recipe ideas that dont use yogurt! What could i substitute for the yogurt in this recipe? I just cannot stand the taste of yogurt.
Hi Dana! You can use avocado for a similar texture and mild taste. Check out all my low carb smoothies here, most of them don’t have yogurt as an ingredient. Enjoy 🙂
Hi – great site, thanks.
Thank you Annie, Happy to have you here 🥰
How do you make one serving or how would you measure the 2 servings to divide it. I would like to just make one serving.
Hi Nicole! Just half all ingredients listed and toss them into the blender. I find 2 smoothies are easier to make than 1 in a standard blender (Blendtec/Vitamix), as the added liquid helps to get everything smooth — so if I’m making a smoothie for just myself, I stash one in the fridge for the next day. Either way, enjoy!
