🍸 How To Make Keto Mint Chip Breakfast Smoothie

  1. Add ingredients to blender: Combine almond milk, ice, spinach, coconut milk, protein powder, sweetener (if using), mint leaves, avocado, and cacao nibs in a blender.

💭 Recipe Tips

  • Use fresh mint leaves: They give the smoothie a natural, refreshing flavor without artificial extracts.
  • Adjust sweetness: Erythritol is optional—add more or less depending on your taste.
  • Avocado for creaminess: Ripe avocado makes the smoothie thick and silky while adding healthy fats.
  • Protein boost: Use a keto-friendly protein powder to make this a complete breakfast smoothie.
  • Make it extra chocolatey: Add a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder for a deeper chocolate flavor.

🧁 What To Serve Keto Mint Chip Breakfast Smoothie With?

This smoothie is filling on its own, but you can pair it with keto-friendly snacks like boiled eggs, cheese crisps or almond flour muffins for a complete breakfast. It’s also a great post-gym option alongside a handful of nuts or a slice of avocado toast on low-carb bread.

🎚 How To Store Keto Mint Chip Breakfast Smoothie Leftovers?

  • Refrigerate: Store in a sealed mason jar for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir before drinking, as ingredients may settle.
  • Freeze: Pour into ice cube trays and freeze. Re-blend cubes with a splash of almond milk for a quick smoothie later.

FAQs

Is this smoothie really keto?

Yes! With just about 4 net carbs per serving, it’s perfect for a ketogenic or low-carb diet.

Can I use peppermint extract instead of fresh mint?

Yes, but use sparingly—just 1/8 teaspoon, since extracts are very strong.

Can I replace erythritol with another sweetener?

Yes, monk fruit, stevia, or allulose are great keto-friendly options.
