Keto Chocolate Almond Smoothie Recipe: Low-Carb, Creamy, and Delicious

If you're craving a rich, creamy, and satisfying smoothie that fits perfectly into your keto lifestyle, this Keto Chocolate Almond Smoothie is the answer! Packed with healthy fats, protein, and just the right amount of chocolatey goodness, itโ€™s the ideal treat for breakfast, a post-workout snack, or even an afternoon pick-me-up. With simple ingredients like almond butter, cocoa powder, and unsweetened almond milk, this smoothie is low in carbs but high in flavor, making it a deliciously guilt-free way to indulge. Ready to blend your way to a healthier, more energized you? Letโ€™s dive in!

If eating keto is relatively new to you, check out Dave Asprey's website or Jimmy Moore's.  Those are two great resources.  In a nutshell, it's a way of eating that keeps the body in a state of ketosis.

This enables the brain and the body to utilize its own fat stores and dietary fat for fuel.  In essence, you become a "Fat Burning Machine" rather than a "Carbohydrate (Sugar) Burning Machine."  

A huge plus for me has been increased energy, greater mental clarity, weight loss, mood booster, and my #1 favoriteโ€ฆ I'm not hungry anymore.  

Drinking a keto smoothie like this one or a Bulletproof coffee is a great way to jump further into ketosis first thing in the morning or keep you going in the afternoon.

But let's face it, there are some things I miss and some things a used to miss.  I used to miss ice cream, but not anymore.  Thank you Dave Asprey for your Get Some Ice Cream.  It was a true lifesaver, especially when I first started.  Up until recently, I missed milkshakesโ€ฆ a lot.  So I came up with this healthy omega-3 protein packed ultra low carb smoothie that gets me going in the morning.  (And I can save Dave's ice cream for a nightly treat. Yeah, baby!)
