Prep the blender: Add coconut milk and almond milk to the blender first.
This helps the blades catch the frozen fruit and blend smoothly.
Add the flavor: Toss in frozen raspberries, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and a small pinch of sea salt. Add chia seeds or hemp hearts if you like a thicker, more nutrient-dense smoothie.
Sweeten smartly: Start with a small amount of your preferred low-carb sweetener. You can always add more after tasting.
Boost if desired: Add MCT oil or protein powder for extra satiety.
If using protein powder, consider adding a splash more almond milk to keep the texture silky.
Blend until creamy: Start on low, then increase to high for 30–45 seconds. Add ice and blend again if you want it thicker and colder.
Taste and adjust: Add more sweetener, a few extra raspberries, or a squeeze of lemon juice if you want more brightness. If it’s too thick, thin with a little almond milk.
Serve immediately: Pour into a chilled glass and sprinkle a pinch of shredded coconut or a few crushed freeze-dried raspberries on top for texture.
