Low Carb Smoothies!! Keto Smoothie Recipes! #kickstart2019
(upbeat music)
- Hey, Munchies, happy Monday.
I'm Alyssia if you're new,and in case you haven't heard,
I'm hosting new videosevery weekday in January
to kickstart your new year,
so if you want more content,be sure to subscribe,
and hit the bell, soyou don't miss anything.
Everyone is looking forsmoothies in January,
but this year I have hadmore request for Keto,
and low-carb recipes than ever,
so here are some low-carbsmoothie options,
because believe it or not, it can be done.
Now remember, Keto is a high-fat diet.
I have an entire video onit if you're interested,
so part of how we keepthese smoothies low enough
in net carbohydrates is by upping the fat,
so these are filling, andreally should be looked at
as more of a meal than a snack.
Of course at the end of theday, your Keto diet is up to you
and it's all about your overall ratio
of fat to protein and carbohydrates,
and your carbohydrate tolerance,
so you need to do what works for you.
Today I've got five low-carbsmoothie recipes in this video,
and then three more for a total of eight
in the free e-book that you can download
using the link in the description box.
Let's start with cucumber,celery, matcha, lean and green.
(upbeat music)
In to my blender I add,baby cucumber, celery,
avocado, and coconut or MCT oil.
So MCT stands for mediumchain triglyceride,
or medium change fatty acids,
and it's a type of fatderived from coconut oil.
It's colorless, odorless, and stays liquid
at room temperature, so a lot of people
on a low carb diet add it tofood, coffee, or smoothies
to boost the fat content in their diet.
It's easy to digest,and suppresses hunger.
Remember, you really shouldn't be hungry
on a low-carb diet, and itprovides quick, clean energy
for your body, and especially your brain.
We can all benefit fromMCTs, low-carb or not.
I also add matcha powder.
Make sure you use a high quality brand,
which will mean it's a vibrant green,
and annoyingly expensive.
I've linked a bran I usesometimes in the description,
but it isn't my only brand choice,
and feel free to addlow-carb friendly sweetener,
or stevia drops to taste.
Finally, for my liquid,I add creamy cashew milk,
but you can use whatever you prefer.
Blend it up.
I love the vibrant, andfresh color and taste
Cucumber is always so distinctto me when it's in a smoothie
and I like it.
This smoothie only hassix grams of net carbs,
and all of the nutritioninfo for all these smoothies
can be found in the freee-book, along with the recipes.
Next up, a low carb golden milk smoothie.
(upbeat music)
I start with coconut milkfrom the can, shake it up.
Make sure it's really well integrated,
and then add that to an ice cube tray
to make coconut milk ice cubes.
They may separate a bit while freezing,
but it's no biggie.
Just keep those in the freezer
for whenever you need themfor smoothies or cooking.
Thaw them out for a few minutes
before adding to your smoothie.
For this smoothie, I addcoconut milk ice cubes
with an additionalsplash of milk, MCT oil,
and remember that canalways be coconut oil,
vanilla extract, turmeric fora nutritious golden boost,
cinnamon, ground ginger,salt, and sweetener to taste.
Naturally sweet, cinnamon-y,and a kick from those spices.
I love the creaminess thecoconut milk provides,
and this smoothie only hasfour grams of net carbs.
How about a berries andcream protein smoothie?
(upbeat music)
This one starts with frozen raspberries,
which are one of the fruitslowest in carbohydrates,
then I add MCT or coconut oil,
a scoop of collagen protein powder,
optional sweetener to taste,and low-fat coconut milk.
A lot of people are mistaken,
and believe that Keto means no fruit.
Keto does not mean no fruit,
it means very high in fat,and very low in carbohydrates.
We all have a differentcarbohydrate tolerance,
and the only way to know is totest your blood ketone levels
while tracking your macronutrient intake,
so if you can keep yourratio working for your body,
while still eating some fruit, go for it.
Some people, most people,can have some fruit,
or at least berries.
Probably most peoplewill have to stay away
from higher sugar fruitslike bananas, and mangoes,
to keep their carb content down,
but it's mistaken tosay that Keto means no
to any specific food.
It's really about the overallcarbohydrate consumption,
and fat ratio.
This smoothie is creamy,sweet, with a bit of tang,
and I love using collagen protein powder,
because the one I use is flavorless,
so I don't even know it's there.
I am not a huge sweetenedprotein powder fan,
and I do love the joint,hair, and nail benefits
that collagen provides.
Okay, bullet-proof smoothie anyone?
This cinnamon, almond bullet-proof shake
is delicious, and filling.
I start with some of thosecoconut milk ice-cubes,
MCT oil, almond butter,flax meal, cinnamon,
sweetener to taste, apinch of salt, and coffee.
Blend it all up.
Okay, if you want your coffeeboost kicked up a notch,
this shake will do it.
You've got the caffeine from the coffee,
the brain boost from the CMTs,
and just the invigorating excitement
from this being a delicious,indulgent low-carb shake.
Six grams of net carbs,so much satisfaction.
The last one I'm sharing here
is perhaps the most desert-like.
Surprise, blackberry cheesecake.
Frozen blackberries, cream cheese,
or if you're a dairy-free low-carber,
you could sue coconut milk, but of course,
it won't have the same cheesecake effect.
I have seen a coconut based cream cheese
at Trader Joe's, that couldwork, but I haven't tried it.
I'm also adding MCT oil, vanilla extract,
optional sweetener, a pinch of salt,
coconut milk, and water.
This one is the most indulgent.
It's extremely delicious,
but it's also the highest in carbs.
There about 10 grams ofnet carbs in this smoothie.
Keep in mind, some people can handle that.
Personally, when I did Keto,
and tracked my blood ketone levels,
I can handle about 40 to50 grams of carbs a day,
and still remain in ketosis.
Some people can only handle 20 or less.
It really depends on the person,
so if you know thissmoothie won't work for you,
I apologize, but I hopeone of the others will.
Remember, I do have three more smoothies
in the free e-book that you can download
using the link in the description.
There is a peppermint protein milkshake,
a creamy cashew acai smoothie,
and a chocolate macadamia nut, yum.
All recipes and nutrition are included.
Thanks so much for being here with me.
