Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (check for no added sugar)
- 1/4 avocado (for creaminess)
- 1 scoop keto-friendly vanilla or chocolate protein powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (for thickness)
- Sweetener to taste (e.g., 10-15 drops liquid stevia or monk fruit)
- 4-6 ice cubes
Instructions
- Place the almond milk, cocoa powder, peanut butter, avocado, protein powder (if using), xanthan gum, and sweetener into a high-speed blender.
- Add the ice cubes last.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and thick. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
- If the shake is not thick enough, add 1-2 more ice cubes or a small amount of MCT oil and blend again.
- Pour immediately into a glass and serve.
Notes
- For an extra cold and thick shake, freeze the almond milk in ice cube trays beforehand and use those instead of fresh ice cubes.
- If you do not have xanthan gum, you can use 1/4 cup of frozen heavy whipping cream instead to achieve thickness.
- Adjust the amount of cocoa powder to control the intensity of the chocolate flavor.
