Sticking to a keto diet isn’t too challenging for the most part. You just have to know what is proper to eat and drink, and what you need to avoid. Basically, protein, healthy fats, and whole foods are great, but you generally want to avoid most everything else. The biggest hindrance to successfully adhering to a keto diet is probably the lack of versatility. Although it is relatively easy to eat according to the keto methodology, it can become rather bland over time.
Keto requires you to cut out quite a few different food groups which can reduce your menu options. If you are looking to spice up your eating time while sticking to keto, then you should consider making a keto smoothie. Most smoothies are just sugar bombs, but a keto smoothie actually tastes great and helps you stay in ketosis. Read on to learn how to make your smoothies the keto way
Make Low Carb Keto Smoothies
Fruit
You want to make sure not to overdue it on the fruit. Stick to a few frozen berries, like blueberries or strawberries. The fruit is there strictly to sweeten up the smoothie.
Greens
Dark, leafy, green veggies, such as, spinach, arugula, kale, romaine, parsley, etc. should form the base of your smoothie. You want to add at least ½ a cup to your smoothie mix.
Protein
Protein is of course a necessity for the keto diet. Make sure not to use a protein powder with an artificial sweetener.
Superfoods
This is where you spice up your smoothie. Use seeds such as, chia seeds, cacao nibs, flax seed, hemp seeds, Acai, matcha, etc. as a garnish. You can either blend them into the smoothie directly or add them after you make the smoothie.
Fats
No keto diet would be complete without some healthy fats. Mix in some coconut oil, natural peanut butter, almond butter, or avocado to give your smoothie body and make it a true keto product.
