What I love about smoothies is how quick and easy they are to prepare. They are perfect grab-n-go foods for those with busy lifestyles. But when you’re on a high-fat, low-carb diet like keto, it’s natural to wonder if you can even have smoothies. After all, plenty of them are loaded up with fruit, juice, milk, and other ingredients that aren’t exactly keto-friendly.
Luckily, plenty of culinary creatives have come up with delicious and nutritious keto smoothies, and I’ve compiled a list of 21 here for you! It’s time to take back quick and easy meals!

This has been one of my favorite low carb breakfast recipes ever since I first made it. I keep craving it again and again!

It’s easy to replace the sugar with a low-carb sweetener, and for the rice, you can easily replace with chia seeds. No worry!
17. Low Carb Lassi - Basic Lassi
Lassi is a popular Indian drink. It has numerous tasty and nourishing variations. These low-carb lassi versions are mild and easy to sip rather than those thick, dessert-type drinks.

20. Orange Ginger Lassi
In this drink the elegant and fruity flavor of orange peel is combined with fresh, tongue-tickling ginger. The fireworks of flavors are rounded with rich and creamy yogurt and gently sweetened with a zero-carb sweetener. When grating the orange, grate just the orange-colored peel and avoid the white pith, as the pith would give a very bitter flavor to the drink.
21. Coconut Milk Kefir
Fermented foods are not only beneficial for our health but are also great for a keto diet. Coconut milk kefir is a probiotic-rich non-dairy drink made by fermenting coconut milk and kefir starter cultures. Instead of kefir starter cultures, you can use 2 tablespoons of kefir grains or 2 capsules of your favorite probiotics.
