Low-carb and high protein smoothies can be an effective way to manage blood sugar (I discuss this in my hormone balancing smoothies, lose weight, or for weight maintenance! Whether you follow a keto diet or are looking for better ways to balance blood sugar, a good smoothie recipe is a great meal to start your day.

As a nutritionist, I am often creating meals and breakfast ideas that won’t spike blood sugar. The best way to do this is to increase healthy fats, fiber, and protein. While this smoothie is a great egg-free option, I also love keeping variety with savory favorites like Instant Pot Egg Bites or even an elegant Keto Eggs Benedict for weekends.

Ingredients with adaptations

Berries: berries are a low-carb fruit. You can also substitute raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries. Fresh or frozen berries both work in this recipe. Berries also increase vitamin C and fiber in this recipe!
Milk: you can use coconut milk, unsweetened almond milk, or my personal favorite: homemade cashew milk.
Greens: I love the refreshing taste of mint in this recipe, but spinach or kale is also a great option!
Healthy fats: You’ll find chia seeds in tons of my recipes. They’re one of my favorite ways to add fiber naturally. Other options include flax seed, nut butter like almond butter, nuts, or hemp seeds. You can even use avocado in it’s place! All of these items also help to create a thick smoothie.
Unsweetened coconut flakes: I love the coconut flakes in this recipe for another element of fat
Protein powder: I use unflavored collagen peptides so that it doesn’t change the flavor of the drink at all. But feel free to add in your favorite protein powder.
Ice cubes: if you like it cold and are not using frozen berries, I do like a handful of ice cubes in this recipe. This will also help to thicken the smoothie.
