Are Strawberries Keto-Friendly?

Strawberries are relatively low in carbohydrates and are a good addition to a keto breakfast such as a smoothie.

What is the Difference Between a Keto Smoothie and a Regular Strawberry Smoothie?

People who eat keto work hard to keep their net carb intake below a certain number.

If you are not following a keto diet, you might enjoy smoothies with added sugar or high-carb fruits (such as bananas) as a main ingredient.

Options for Liquid in the Smoothie

• Almond Milk: Unsweetened almond milk, either plain or vanilla, is a popular option for liquid in a smoothie, especially among those following a keto diet.

• Coconut Milk: Adding coconut milk or coconut cream to the smoothie is an excellent dairy-free option.

• Heavy Cream: Some people prefer heavy whipping cream to add liquid to their favorite smoothie recipes.

• Sugar-Free Beverages: When enjoying a smoothie in the afternoon, I add sugar-free lemonade instead of liquid to the recipe.

Other Choices and Add-ins

• Flavorings: Consider adding a teaspoon vanilla extract, espresso powder, banana flavoring, etc. to your smoothie to create unique flavor combinations.

• Fruits: Blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries are all keto-friendly smoothie options. You can use fresh or frozen berries. Bananas are a great way to add potassium but keep in mind that they are not keto-friendly, so don’t add too much!

• Nut Butter: Peanut butter, cashew butter, or almond butter are all great additions to flavor a smoothie, adding protein and healthy fats.

• Protein Powder: Some people add protein powder to their smoothies to get additional protein to start the day. Just note that many protein powders are loaded with sugar.

• Veggies: You can toss some spinach into a fruit smoothie to add vitamins without many calories, and it does not alter the taste at all!

Ways to Thicken a Keto Smoothie

If you are trying to thicken your smoothie, chia and flax seeds both expand, add healthy Omega-3s and thickness. You can also use nut butter to add fiber, protein and thickness.

Oats are another popular smoothie additive for thickening a smoothie; however, oats are not keto.
