My Personal Experience

I absolutely love this Keto Low-Carb Banana Milkshake! It’s become one of my go-to recipes when I’m craving something sweet yet filling. The banana flavor is smooth and sweet, yet it doesn’t spike my carb count, making it a great option for a keto-friendly snack. I’ve found that adding a bit of cinnamon or a small handful of ice cubes enhances the flavor and gives the shake an extra chill. Plus, it’s an excellent option for mornings when I want something quick and satisfying, but don’t want to compromise on my keto goals.

Required Equipment

• Blender: A high-quality blender is essential for getting that smooth, creamy texture. I always use mine to blend the ingredients seamlessly, making sure there are no chunks.
• Measuring spoons and cups: Accurate measurements are key to keeping the carb count in check and ensuring your milkshake turns out perfectly every time. I find that having my measuring tools handy speeds up the process.
• Serving glass: It’s always more enjoyable to drink from a nice glass, right? I like to use a tall glass so I can see the milkshake swirl, but any will work.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• Banana extract (1 tsp): The key ingredient that gives this milkshake its classic banana flavor. You can substitute with other fruit extracts if you prefer, but banana gives it that comforting, nostalgic flavor.
• Unsweetened almond milk (1 cup): A low-carb, creamy base for the milkshake. You can substitute with coconut milk or any other nut milk, but be mindful of the carb count.
• Heavy cream (1/4 cup): Adds the richness and creaminess that makes this milkshake so satisfying. If you’re not a fan of heavy cream, you could use full-fat coconut milk as an alternative.
• Ice cubes (1/2 cup): Optional, but I love the extra chill and thickness it gives the shake.
• Sweetener (stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol): I usually use a few drops of liquid stevia to sweeten the milkshake to my taste, but feel free to adjust based on your preferences.
• Vanilla extract (1/2 tsp): A subtle touch of vanilla brings out the flavors without overpowering the banana.

How to Make Keto Low-Carb Banana Milkshake

1. Blend the base: In your blender, add the unsweetened almond milk and heavy cream.
2. Add the banana flavor: Next, add the banana extract and vanilla extract.
3. Sweeten the deal: Add your sweetener to taste. Start with a little and adjust as needed.
4. Blend until smooth: Add ice cubes for extra thickness and chill, then blend until everything is smooth and creamy.
5. Taste and adjust: Taste your milkshake and add more sweetener if needed, then give it another quick blend.

Tips for This Recipe

• For an extra creamy texture, use frozen almond milk cubes instead of regular ice cubes.
• If you prefer a more substantial milkshake, add some collagen powder for added protein, without affecting the carbs.
• To give it a richer flavor, add a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg.
• You can also make this recipe in advance and store it in the fridge for later, just make sure to give it a good stir before serving.

Optional Additions

• Chocolate chips: For a chocolatey twist, add some sugar-free chocolate chips or cocoa powder.
• Peanut butter: Adding a spoonful of peanut butter gives the shake a creamy, nutty flavor.
• Chia seeds: For added fiber and nutrients, sprinkle in a tablespoon of chia seeds.

Serving Ideas

This Keto Low-Carb Banana Milkshake is perfect as a quick breakfast, a refreshing snack, or a sweet treat after a meal. Serve it with some keto-friendly cookies on the side for the perfect dessert pairing. It also works great as a post-workout drink, providing healthy fats and protein to fuel your body.

Storage Recommendation

If you have leftovers, store your milkshake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. You can also freeze the shake into popsicle molds for a fun, on-the-go keto treat.

Reheating/Serving Tip: Since this is a cold drink, it’s best enjoyed immediately, but you can always give it a quick blend if it separates while sitting in the fridge.
