This keto strawberry raspberry cottage cheese smoothie is creamy and delicious. And it only takes 10 minutes to make this amazing smoothie!
When you want a quick and easy pick-me-up drink, this keto strawberry raspberry cottage cheese smoothie is an awesome option. Smoothies can be served for breakfast or for a quick and easy snack or even as a dessert. The secret ingredient in this smoothie is the cottage cheese which adds a creamy texture while still keeping the carb count down.
Let’s talk about strawberries and raspberries!
When doing low carb and keto, many fruits are not allowed because of their carb count. The great news is that most berries, eaten in moderation, are a wonderful keto option! One cup of strawberries contains about 7-8 net grams of carbs. One cup of raspberries contains about 7 net grams of carbs. Both fruits are low in calories but rich in nutrients. Strawberries provide us a source of folate, magnesium, manganese, potassium, and vitamins A and C. They are also a good source of antioxidants and fiber. Raspberries provide folate, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, and vitamins C, E, and K. They are also a good source of fiber. I used frozen berries for my smoothie, but you can use fresh berries if you’d like. If you’d like to use all strawberries or all raspberries, you could also do that.
What other ingredients go into this keto strawberry raspberry cottage cheese smoothie?
The base of our smoothie is unsweetened almond milk. You can use any brand you’d like, just make sure it is low in carbs. My unsweetened almond milk contained 1 net gram of carbs in one cup. The cottage cheese adds a little protein to our smoothie and makes it nice and creamy. The heavy whipping cream gives our smoothie incredible richness and creaminess. The other ingredients in our smoothie are ice, keto powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. I used the Swerve brand of powdered sugar as it contains zero calories and zero net carbs. It is also delicious. You can use your favorite keto powdered sugar for your smoothie. Some brands are sweeter than others, so you may want to give your smoothie a taste and add more sweetener if you’d like.
Do you have any tips for making this keto strawberry raspberry cottage cheese smoothie?
This is an incredibly easy recipe, but there are a few things you can do to ensure yours comes out perfectly every time. First, I recommend you use cold almond milk so your smoothie will be as cold as possible. Next, you don’t want to thaw your frozen berries for this smoothie. Frozen works the best! If you use fresh berries, simply rinse them, and then hull your strawberries before adding to the blender. You can use ice cubes or crushed ice for your smoothie. This recipe makes 2 large smoothies. If you’d like, you can also divide it to make 3 smaller smoothies.
