Keto Berry Smoothie
A Keto Berry Smoothie is a cool and refreshing drink to give you a burst of energy in the mornings. Filled with nutrients and fresh berries, this invigorating smoothie will have your taste buds singing. It’s completely added sugar free, low carb, gluten free, and dairy free!
There are several reasons why smoothies are the quick breakfast of choice for many of us. First of all, they taste incredible. Secondly, you can make them as healthy (or unhealthy) as you want. When you have picky people in your home, it’s important to be able to make food or drinks that can be adjusted easily. Plus, I like to sneak in all the healthy stuff when they aren’t paying attention.
One of my favorite things about keto smoothies is they taste like you are indulging, but in reality, they’re very good for you. Your family won’t even realize it’s keto friendly unless they helped you make it.
And when you get tired of egg-heavy keto breakfast recipes this keto berry smoothie is a great choice!

Ingredients
- Berries – This smoothie recipe is super versatile, and you can actually use fresh or frozen berries! Use a combination of berries or stick with one variety. I usually reach for strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Whether you want a low carb blueberry smoothie or a keto strawberry smoothie I have you covered.
- Coconut Milk – To make the smoothie rich and creamy, coconut milk is a must. You could use any other milk alternatives that you like, such as unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, cashew milk, or hemp milk, but unsweetened coconut milk is my preference for this drink.
- Greek Yogurt – I like to use Greek yogurt to help thicken the keto smoothie. Plus, its tangy flavor goes great with the other ingredients. If you want to make this dairy free as well just sub in coconut cream.
- Sweetener – The mixed berries are naturally sweet, so you don’t need a ton of sweetener. Just a little bit to help round out the flavors.
- Cauliflower Rice – Cauliflower is filled with vitamin C, vitamin B6, grams of fiber, and so much more. Because it has such a mild flavor, you aren’t even going to be able to taste it.
- Ice Cubes – I love my smoothies to be extra cold, and adding some ice cubes does the job.

How To Make A Keto Berry Smoothie
That’s it for making an amazing low carb berry smoothie!
Step One: Add the berries, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, sweetener, and cauliflower rice to a blender. Blend until it’s smooth. beef
Step Two: Then add in the ice cubes and blend again. You will need to blend until it’s super smooth and there aren’t any chunks of ice. Sip and enjoy!
Top Tip💡
If you don’t want to use all cauliflower rice, you can use 1/4 cup of spinach (or other mild leafy greens) and 1/4 cup of cauliflower rice together. You’ll still be getting lots of nutrients, and it doesn’t affect the flavor.
Variations
- Extra Thick – If you prefer a thick smoothie, opt for frozen fruit. Frozen fruit tends to make the smoothie more frothy too. Plus, you can get frozen fruit year-round and don’t have to worry about finding it in season.
- Extra Creamy – For a creamier drink, add in 1/4 – 1/2 of an avocado or a tablespoon of almond butter.
- Extra Fat – You can add a splash of mct oil or coconut oil if you would like this to have more healthy fats. You can even add some heavy cream if you’d like a higher fat content in this berry smoothie recipe.
- Flavor Boost – Adding a few drops of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon is a great way to boost the flavor without additional grams of net carbs.
- More Protein – To bulk it up, add in a little bit of protein powder, chia seeds, or collagen peptides.
- Whipped Cream. Go fancy and top your smoothie with some keto whipped cream! Just whip heavy whipping cream with a bit of your favorite powdered sugar substitute.

Equipment
The only thing you need for this keto-friendly berry smoothie is a high-speed blender. It really is essential to making smooth smoothies. I’ve had a Vitamix for 10 years and it is going strong despite because used daily. They are an investment but I think it is worth it.
Common Questions
Not at all! I promise. The other flavors in this keto berry smoothie hide the fact that this has cauliflower rice entirely. If you are on a low carb diet instead of a keto diet you can choose to use all berries but on strict keto that would probably be too many carbs. Using a bit of a mild-flavored vegetable such as cauliflower is a great alternative.
Not really. If you place it in the fridge, it’s going to be really watered down as the ice melts. If you freeze it it will solidify. Make it fresh and if you have leftover smoothie freeze it in a popsicle mold.
