Directions

Blend Ingredients
In a blender, combine the unsweetened almond milk, cooled espresso (or strong coffee), vanilla protein powder, cocoa powder, almond butter (or mascarpone cheese), erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener), and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well combined.
Adjust Consistency

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes one generous serving. The preparation time is about 5 minutes, making it a quick and satisfying treat whenever you’re craving something sweet but want to keep it keto-friendly.

Variations

Make it Extra Creamy: For a richer texture, substitute the almond butter with mascarpone cheese or add a tablespoon of heavy cream.
Spice it Up: Add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to give the smoothie a bit of extra warmth and complexity, similar to traditional tiramisu spices.
Add More Protein: Boost the protein content by adding a tablespoon of collagen peptides or more protein powder.

Storage/Reheating

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. The texture might change slightly after storing, so be sure to stir or blend again before drinking.

FAQs

Can I use decaf coffee instead of espresso?

Yes, you can substitute decaf coffee if you prefer to avoid caffeine while still enjoying the rich coffee flavor.

Can I use a different sweetener instead of erythritol?

Yes, feel free to use your preferred keto-friendly sweetener, such as stevia, monk fruit, or Swerve. Just adjust the amount based on the sweetness level of your chosen sweetener.

Is there a dairy-free option?

Yes, this recipe is already dairy-free by using almond butter, and you can substitute the mascarpone with a dairy-free cream cheese or coconut cream for a similar creamy texture.

How can I make this smoothie colder?

To make it even colder, add extra ice cubes or freeze the almond milk in ice cube trays ahead of time for an extra chill.
