Let’s talk about our berries!
Although many fruits are high in carbs and not included in the keto plan, blackberries and strawberries, in moderation, are great low carb keto options. One cup of blackberries contains about 6 grams of net carbs while one cup of strawberries contains 7-8 grams of net carbs. If you’d like to substitute raspberries for your smoothie, they contain about 7 grams of net carbs per cup. Another great thing about berries is they contain some important nutrients. Some of these include copper, folate, manganese, and vitamins C and K. They also provide you with valuable antioxidants and are a good source of fiber.
What other ingredients go into this keto blackberry strawberry smoothie recipe?
We combine unsweetened almond milk with heavy whipping cream and ice for this smoothie. This gives our smoothies the perfect consistency while helping to keep our carb count low. I used the Swerve brand for my keto sugar. It contains zero calories and zero net carbs. It’s delicious and is a 1:1 substitution for regular sugar. If you’d like your smoothie sweeter, you can add a little more sugar. I suggest you taste your smoothie, then add 1 tablespoon of sugar at a time until your smoothie reaches your desired sweetness level. I find a little vanilla and salt bring out the other flavors and add an extra level of flavor.
How do I make homemade keto whipping cream to top my keto blackberry strawberry smoothie with?
It is so incredibly easy to make your own sweetened keto whipping cream. After starting to make this, I can’t believe I ever used anything else! Start by chilling your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. After they’ve chilled, add 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons of your preferred keto powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla to your bowl. Beat until stiff peaks form, which takes only a few minutes. You can easily double or triple this recipe. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also experiment with using different extracts in your whipped cream.
