Best Low Carb Blueberry Chia Smoothie

13 ratings

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.

  • Step 1

    Finely chop the mint and add to a blender. Add coconut milk, almond milk, blueberries, chia seeds, coconut oil, and xylitol. Secure the blender's lid.

  • Step 2

    Blend until smooth and the coconut oil is completely incorporated. You may still have small flecks of chia remaining. Taste, and add more sweetener if required.

    You do not want to refrigerate after making it as the oil will solidify and the chia will gel. Pour into 2 glasses. Serve immediately.

    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?

          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.
