🕒 Prep Time

5 minutes

🍽️ Servings

1 large shake (or 2 small servings)

🧾 Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for extra creaminess)

• 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream

• 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1–2 tbsp powdered erythritol (adjust to taste)

• ¼ tsp peppermint extract (start small—it’s strong!)

• 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional, for thickness & fiber)

• 1 cup ice cubes

• 1 scoop keto-friendly chocolate protein powder (optional for a meal-style shake)

• 1 tbsp almond butter (optional, for richness)

🍦 Optional Toppings

• Sugar-free whipped cream

• Dark chocolate shavings (85% or higher)

• Crushed keto cookies

• A few fresh mint leaves

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Add liquids first
   Pour the almond milk and heavy cream into a high-speed blender. This helps everything blend smoothly.

2. Add dry ingredients
   Add cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, and chia seeds (if using). Blend briefly to combine.

3. Flavor it up
   Add the peppermint extract. Be careful—not too much, or it can overpower the shake.

4. Boost it (optional)
   Add protein powder and almond butter if you want a thicker, more filling shake.

5. Add ice & blend
   Toss in the ice cubes and blend on high until smooth, creamy, and frosty.

6. Taste & adjust
   Taste the shake and adjust sweetness or mint level if needed.

7. Serve immediately
   Pour into a chilled glass and top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or mint leaves.

💡 Tips for the Perfect Keto Shake

• Go easy on peppermint – A little goes a long way!

• Use powdered sweetener – It blends better than granulated and avoids a gritty texture.

• Make it thicker – Add more ice or a few frozen avocado chunks for ultra creaminess.

• Dairy-free option – Swap heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream.
