Ingredients
  

  • Raspberries (fresh or frozen), about 1 cup
  • Unsweetened almond milk, 3/4 to 1 cup
  • Full-fat coconut milk or heavy cream, 2–3 tablespoons
  • Chia seeds or ground flaxseed, 1 tablespoon (optional for thickness)
  • Vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon
  • Keto-friendly sweetener to taste (erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit)
  • Ice cubes, 1/2 to 1 cup (adjust for texture)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional, for balance)
  • Lemon zest or a squeeze of lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Method
 

  1. Prep your berries: If using fresh raspberries, rinse and pat dry. If using frozen, there’s no need to thaw unless your blender struggles with ice.
  2. Add liquids first: Pour unsweetened almond milk into the blender, followed by coconut milk or heavy cream. Starting with liquids helps the blades catch everything.
  3. Layer the flavors: Add raspberries, vanilla extract, a pinch of sea salt, and lemon zest or juice if using. The lemon brightens the berry flavor.
  4. Sweeten smartly: Add your preferred keto sweetener. Start with 1–2 teaspoons and adjust after blending. Taste, then tweak.
  5. Boost texture: Sprinkle in chia seeds or ground flaxseed if you like a thicker, more filling smoothie.
  6. Add ice and blend: Toss in 1/2 to 1 cup of ice. Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until smooth and frosty. If it’s too thick, splash in more almond milk.
  7. Adjust and serve: Taste and add more sweetener or lemon if needed. Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy right away.
