This keto strawberry smoothie recipe was a huge hit at my house. My husband and son came in from working just as I was finishing up making these smoothies. They had a glass and came back for more. In fact, I had leftover strawberries and had to turn around and make a second batch!

Let’s talk about strawberries!

Many fruits are not good for keto because they are high in carbs. Strawberries, however, are a great keto option. One cup of strawberries contains about 7-8 net grams of carbs. For reference, one cup of blackberries contains approximately 6 net grams, and raspberries contain about 7 net grams. One cup of blueberries contains 17-18 net grams of carbs. They can still be added, but you’ll want to limit the amount you eat. Ok, back to our strawberries!🍓Strawberries provide us with some important nutrients. These include folate, magnesium, manganese, potassium, and vitamins A and C. They are also a good source of antioxidants and fiber.

What other ingredients go into this keto strawberry smoothie?

You’ll be amazed with the delicious flavor of these smoothies that comes together with just a few simple ingredients. To our strawberries, we add unsweetened almond milk. You can use any brand you’d like, just check to make sure it’s low carb. One cup of unsweetened almond milk should contain no more than 1 net gram of carbs. Heavy whipping cream adds incredible richness to our smoothies. To this mixture, we add some ice, keto sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. I used the Swerve brand of sugar for my smoothies. It contains zero calories and zero net carbs. It’s also delicious!

How do I make homemade whipping cream to top my keto strawberry smoothie with?

If you’d like to add even more decadence to this drink, you can top it with some keto sweetened whipping cream. This is incredibly easy to make, and it is delicious! I recommend chilling your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before using. Then simply add 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons of keto powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla to your chilled bowl. You’ll want to beat this mixture until stiff peaks form. Stiff peaks mean when you remove the mixer, your whipped cream forms a peak, and it completely holds its shape. You can also easily double this recipe. You can substitute other extracts for the vanilla if you want to be adventurous!
