15 Keto Smoothies ( Dairy-Free & Vegan Too)

Following a Ketogenic diet and looking for new smoothies to incorporate into your daily routine? Look no further! We have compiled this list of original smoothie recipes developed by a Registered Dietitian. And, most of the recipes are dairy-free and vegan (depending on the type of collagen or protein powder that is used).

These smoothie recipes are a great way to start your day, or could be consumed while at work or school; even for dinner if you are looking for something filling, nutritious, and easy to prepare.

It might be helpful to make a batch (or several!), portion, and freeze the night before so that you always have a smoothie on hand! 

A few quick notes; 

• The Ketogenic diet is a high fat, moderate protein, very low carbohydrate diet. Average daily intakes are about 5% total calories from net carbohydrates, 20-25% from protein, and 70-75% from fat. 
• Tracking your food using an app is helpful to figure out if you are consuming the appropriate ratios of food to ensure that you achieve ketosis in the healthiest way possible.
• In the Ketogenic diet, fiber is VERY important; when calculating carbohydrates, take the total carbs and subtract fiber to find your net carbohydrates. Fiber helps to keep you regular, can lower cholesterol, keep you feeling fuller longer, and promotes digestion and blood sugar stability. Fiber is found in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and oftentimes people following the Ketogenic diet don’t get enough fiber; these smoothies are a great way to make sure you are still getting plenty of nutrients in your daily diet.
