Want to make the Smoothie King Keto Champ Chocolate at home? This homemade copycat recipe uses easy ingredients you can find anywhere and tastes just like the store version. It’s keto-friendly, protein-packed, and super quick to whip up in minutes.
How I Figured Out This Recipe
When I first tried recreating it, the flavor was close—but it was too thin. I knew Smoothie King uses almond butter and almond milk, but the richness needed a bump. Once I added cocoa powder and a full scoop of protein, it started tasting just right. The texture improved when I added a bit of ice, making it thick like the original.
Then I swapped plain cocoa for 100% cacao and used stevia like they do at the store. That chocolate taste popped loud and proud—just like the real thing.
Keto Champ Chocolate Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (like Califia Farms): keeps it smooth and dairy-free.
- 2 tbsp almond butter: adds healthy fat and creamy body.
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder (100% cacao): gives that rich chocolate flavor.
- 1 scoop keto protein powder (or chocolate whey): provides a protein punch.
- 1 packet stevia (or 1 tsp): for sweetness without carbs.
- ½ – 1 cup ice: optional, for extra thickness and chill.
How to Make Keto Champ Chocolate (Copycat)
- Add the basics: almond milk, almond butter, cocoa powder, protein powder, and stevia to your blender.
- Blend on low then high for about 30 seconds until it’s smooth.
- Taste and fix: too thick? add almond milk. Not sweet enough? add a bit more stevia.
- For a frostier drink, add ½–1 cup ice and blend another 10 seconds.

Why This Tastes Like the Smoothie King Version
- Uses almond milk and almond butter for that rich, keto texture.
- Cocoa powder brings real chocolate notes like theirs.
- Stevia mimics their zero‑added‑sugar sweetener exactly.
- Keto protein powder matches their “Keto Protein Blend.”
- Ice gives it a thick, spoon‑worthy consistency.
Easy Tips and Swaps
- Use chocolate whey if keto powder isn’t available.
- Vegan? Try pea or soy protein for the same texture.
- Want more fats? Add a teaspoon of MCT oil or a tablespoon of chia seeds.
- Less sweet? Skip stevia and add a few berries or a drop of vanilla extract.
How to Store Your Smoothie
- In the Fridge : Place in an airtight jar and keep for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking—thickness firms up when chilled.
- In the Freezer : Freeze in a sealed container. Thaw overnight in the fridge and blend again to refresh the texture.
