This post very detailed, so feel free to jump to the sections that help you make the best keto blueberry smoothie using the table of contents below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make a keto smoothie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Making keto smoothies can come in all different shapes and sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can add yogurt, protein powder, or play mix and match between coconut milk or almond milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beauty of a good smoothie really lies in the ingredients you have available, and the ingredients you find delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t ever let anyone tell you your smoothie is “wrong”. There should be no food shaming EVER.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flavour Combinations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This smoothie gives you plenty of energy, plus the flavours of vanilla and blueberries are an absolute flavour aficionado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original recipe was made with yogurt and protein powder together, in combination with MCT oil, and coconut milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve made this with almond milk, vanilla extract, ice and no ice, honestly, they all taste great, so get creative with your smoothie recipes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This smoothie is a little lighter in comparison to other traditional keto smoothies, so if you’re looking for a super thick smoothie, I suggest you try out my avocado green smoothie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health Benefits and Micronutrients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Antioxidants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Blueberries provide an excellent source of antioxidants which effectively “mop” up the free radicals caused by oxidative stress (exercise).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This keto smoothie used as a post-workout refuel option not only helps the recovery process but tastes pretty good too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Folate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Folate, or known as vitamin b9 – is a very important mineral for pregnant women, supporting normal fetal development by decreasing the risk of neural tube defects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nutritionist Tip!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Men also need folate for sperm with correct chromosomal structure! Folic Acid also supports the regulation of cholesterol as found by a polish study<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Vitamin C<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vitamin C is a powerful anti-inflammatory which aids in immune system support, as well as creating correct vassal dilation, which in turns helps rectify high blood pressure.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vitamin C is also used to prevent scurvy, but scurvy only occurs when your diet is completely devoid of any vitamin C (like being on a ship for 12 months with nothing but slop for food).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not something you need to worry about these days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
