This Keto Blueberry Almond Smoothie is a chilled, purple-hued drink made with unsweetened almond milk and a controlled portion of berries. It has a creamy texture from the almond butter with a familiar sweet flavor from the blueberries and vanilla as a refreshing low-carb drink for a quick breakfast or snack.

About This Recipe

To reach a smooth and uniform consistency, the ingredients should be blended on high speed until the almond butter and blueberries are fully integrated. Using frozen berries is a solid option for creating a thicker, frostier texture without needing extra ice, which helps keep the flavor concentrated. If a thinner drink is preferred, a small amount of extra almond milk can be added to adjust the body to your liking.

The base of the smoothie uses unsweetened almond milk to keep the profile light, while the almond butter gives a rich mouthfeel. The blueberries provide a natural tartness and vibrant color, and the addition of a keto-friendly sweetener can help balance the flavors. The recipe relies on the fats in the almond butter to create a smooth, creamy drink that stays well-mixed after blending.

These smoothies fit well for busy mornings or as an afternoon drink and are easy to prepare in just a few minutes. It’s easy to customize by stirring in chia seeds for extra texture or adding a scoop of protein powder for a more substantial meal. It is best served immediately while cold, finished with a few extra berries or a sprinkle of sliced almonds on top.
