Best Low Carb Blueberry Chia Smoothie
A smoothie is a great go-to snack or breakfast that can keep your tummy happy until your next meal. This low-carb blueberry smoothie is naturally vegan friendly with just a hint of fruit from a small portion of blueberries and a healthy dose of protein from chia seeds.
What ingredients can you swap in this recipe?
In place of almond milk, you can use any other plant-based nut milk. Instead of coconut cream, you can use heavy cream. Although xylitol has been used to add extra sweetness to the smoothie, this can be subbed for your preferred low-carb sweetener or omitted altogether. Coconut oil has been added for additional fats but this can be subbed for MCT oil or omitted altogether.
Can you add more ingredients?
Of course, you can add whatever fits your preference. If you want a more nutritious meal first thing in the morning, you can add spinach, flax seeds, or any other ingredient that has a subtle flavor. You can also add vanilla-flavored protein powder for a protein-filled smoothie.
Is this recipe suitable only for breakfast?
Nope! You can have this Keto blueberry smoothie at any time of the day. You can enjoy it for lunch, as a snack, or as a pre or post-workout.

A little bland. I would add extra sweetener next time, and something to help the flavors stand out

Very small portion. Not satisfying. Too high in carbs - not worth it

Can I substitute peppermint extract for the pure peppermint? If so, how much?
Nana 3 years ago
I guess I just answered my own question. According to a McCormack rep, I can add 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract instead of 2 tablespoons of fresh mint.

Good, but I added a mini banana plus more sweetener. I also added ice cubes.

This is a delicious smoothie. I added some strawberries and 1/2 tsp of flax seed. Definitely will add this to my favorites.

I left off the mint, mostly coconut flavor. I think I would like better with more blueberries.

I made this without the mint leaves. It has a coconut flavor. I was hoping for something fresher tasting. Craving fruit badly. But it is very filling.
