Creamy Keto Raspberry Smoothie

I love a good creamy smoothie as a meal replacement or a rich, sweet dessert, especially on a Sunday afternoon. This Keto Raspberry Smoothie is creamy and delicious and is actually quite nutritional as it’s made with protein powder to help meet your protein macros.

I cringe when I think of the smoothies I use to make when I felt for something sweet, rich and creamy. Imagine mixing Ice cream, chocolate syrup, fruit, and sugar or honey into one smoothie. Ugh! Talk about sugar upon sugar.

Now I mix fat on fat! LOL, not really. I really try not to eat too much fat as I’m still in the losing weight zone and if we eat too much fat on the ketogenic diet, we end up burning only the fat we eat instead of fat the on our bodies. Leave the exogenous fat for when you’re in maintenance mode and only make this smoothie when you’ve had a clean-eating, zero carb day and you’re craving a treat.

That said, this keto raspberry cream smoothie is absolutely delicious and will satisfy your sweet tooth craving when it raises its ugly head.

New to the keto diet? Start here! This will help you to figure out how to stick to this diet and make it a lifestyle for you.

How to Make Keto Raspberry Smoothie

Of course, you can swap the raspberries for your favorite berry. I use blueberries all the time and strawberries can be used as well. When I get my hands on blackberries? Ooh wee!

To make this smoothie, you’ll need:

fresh or frozen raspberries
heavy cream
water
fresh lime juice
vanilla protein powder
sliced cucumbers
ice cubes

The cucumbers and ice cubes add a fresh spin to this smoothie so that it’s not too heavy like a milkshake. IT’s seriously delicious, you have to try it.

Your particular macros will be affected by the protein powder that you use. I’m using the Kiss My Keto Protein Powder which also has MCT oil for added fat and creaminess. It’s delicious and perfect for the keto diet. Use the code below for 10% off if you’d like to try it. You should try the Birthday Cake flavor, it’s delicious in coffee!

Whichever brand you use, just ensure that it has no added sugar! Lots of protein powders are packed with sugar and carbs which is why I recommend the Kiss My Keto brand which is formulated with us low carb dieters in mind.

If you’re lost and not sure how to get started with the keto diet, this meal plan is for you. It’s a fool-proof guide to winning at the high-fat, low-carb lifestyle.

Creamy Keto Raspberry Smoothie

½ cup fresh or frozen raspberries
⅓ cup heavy cream
1 cup water
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 scoop vanilla protein powder

8-10 large ice cubed
A dollop of fresh whipped cream and/or 2 or 3 fresh raspberries (option for garnish)

Combine all ingredients in a high-powered blender and blend on high speed for 2-3 until thoroughly combined. Add additional water, if desired, to adjust consistency.
Pour into two glasses and garnish with a spoonful of whipped cream and additional raspberries, if desired. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

I’ve broken out the macros for the smoothie without any protein powder so that you can combine it with your chosen protein powder. Here are the macros for the one I’m using in this recipe, the Kiss My Keto powder found here.

If you’re just starting the keto diet, a food journal specifically for keto like this one can help you to stay on track. Track your meals, macros, mood, fasting times and movement daily to spot helpful and harmful patterns that help you achieve your weight loss and health goals.
