New Keto Friendly & Low Calorie Smoothie

Oooo who doesn’t love a delicious smoothie? Recently I’ve upgraded my recipe (see original one here) to a chocolate berry mix that the savory crowd will appreciate. I also recently discovered that Swerve makes “Brown Sugar”, and added it to the recipe, it’s so freaking good. So, here’s how you make it:

QUICK TIPS: So I realize the highest carb item on this list is obviously the unsweetened mixed berry blend. If you wanted to substitute this out for a cup of frozen raspberries (6g net carbs), for example, you would lower the total net carbs for this recipe to 14 grams.

This recipe is also a great opportunity to throw in your protein supplement — lately I’ve been using this Chocolate Peanut butter flavor from Garden of Life and I love it. Adding it to the smoothie recipe just gives me more of that chocolate peanut butter flavor that apparently I’ll always crave!!! 😜 TRY IT AND ENJOY!
