Keto Chocolate Milkshake Makeover

Jun 29

Have you been wondering how to satisfy your ice cream cravings without buying expensive Keto ice creams or just wrecking your health goals with less than optimal choices?

There’s no need to head out to the ice cream shop when you have this easy and healthy milkshake recipe on hand!

The ultimate in low-carb comfort food, this dairy-free “milkshake” is super easy to make at home. You need just 5 main ingredients, two steps, and less than 5 minutes to whip up this Keto Chocolate Milkshake recipe in your blender.

Never worry about indulging in a milkshake again!

While traditional milkshakes are made with lots of cream, sugar, chocolate syrup, and ice cream my keto chocolate milkshake makeover is honestly as simple as blending 5 ingredients!

Just throw in a generous portion of coconut cream, some macadamia nuts and chia seeds, a splash of dairy-free milk, and some cacao and protein powder.

Talk about DELICIOUS and NUTRITIOUS!

Don’t skimp on the fat!

The best coconut cream to use is full-fat thick coconut cream without any of the liquid because that’s what’ll make the shake thicker and more like the “real thing”!

I choose macadamia nuts because they are richer, and blend up better in the blender without needing any soaking. But feel free to use any raw nuts you have on hand. For example, although they need some soaking, cashews are another great option that can make your milkshake super creamy!

How to Make Thicker Keto Chocolate Milkshakes

There is nothing better than a good thick milkshake, especially when it’s dairy-free, sugar-free, and super low carb!

Otherwise, it’s really just another chocolate smoothie, isn’t it? To make a thick and creamy milkshake every time follow these simple tips:

Start by using real coconut cream (and choose full-fat.)
Add just enough dairy-free milk to blend until smooth.
Let the chia seeds soak for a few minutes before blending.
For an even thicker shake, add a few extra macadamia nuts and a big handful of ice.
Lastly, make sure you’re ready to indulge before getting started or blending the ingredients. Most milkshakes will melt quickly. You can also put your milkshake glasses in the freezer to get chilled which will help to keep the ice cream frozen a bit longer!

To make this Keto chocolate milkshake without a blender, you can simply use any nut butter in place of the macadamia nuts, add the ingredients to a bowl (omitting the greens), and mix or whip until smooth.

This takes a bit longer and isn’t quite as smooth, but it still tastes great!

Now you have NO excuse to not indulge!
