• 1 tbsp MCT oil (for energy)

• 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla keto protein powder

🍳 Instructions

1. Prep Your Blender
   Add the almond milk and heavy cream first—this helps everything blend smoothly without clumping.

2. Add the Flavor Base
   Toss in cocoa powder, hazelnut butter, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt.

3. Blend Until Smooth
   Blend on medium-high for 20–30 seconds until the mixture looks silky and fully combined.

4. Add Ice & Thickeners
   Add ice cubes and optional chia seeds or xanthan gum. Blend again until thick and frosty.

5. Taste & Adjust
   Taste your shake—adjust sweetness or cocoa depending on your preference.

6. Serve Immediately
   Pour into a chilled glass for best texture and flavor.

🍫 Optional Toppings

• Whipped cream (unsweetened or keto-sweetened)

💡 Pro Tips

• For a stronger Nutella flavor: Add a drop of hazelnut extract.

• For a thicker shake: Use less almond milk or more ice.

• For a dairy-free version: Replace heavy cream with coconut cream.

• For meal prep: Blend everything except ice and store in the fridge. Add ice when ready to drink.
