⏱ Preparation Time
5 minutes
🥤 Serving Size
1 large glass (or 2 small servings)
🧾 Ingredients (Keto Approved)
- Unsweetened coconut milk – 1 cup
(Use carton coconut milk, not canned, to keep carbs lower) - Heavy whipping cream – 2 tablespoons
(Adds richness and keeps fat macros high) - Unsweetened desiccated coconut – 1 tablespoon
- Keto sweetener (erythritol / monk fruit blend) – 1–2 teaspoons (to taste)
- MCT oil or virgin coconut oil – 1 teaspoon
- Ice cubes – 4–5
- Vanilla extract – ¼ teaspoon (optional but recommended)
- Pinch of Himalayan pink salt – optional (enhances flavor)
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Method
- Prepare the blender
Make sure your blender is clean and dry. Add the ice cubes first to help with smoother blending. - Add liquids
Pour in the unsweetened coconut milk and heavy cream. This combination creates a creamy yet light base without raising carb count. - Add fats & flavor
Add MCT oil (or coconut oil), vanilla extract, and a tiny pinch of salt. These elevate both taste and keto fat intake. - Sweeten naturally
Add your keto sweetener. Start with a small amount and adjust after blending if needed. - Add coconut texture
Sprinkle in the desiccated coconut for natural coconut flavor and a subtle thickness. - Blend until smooth
Blend on high speed for 30–45 seconds until the shake becomes thick, creamy, and frothy. - Taste & adjust
Check sweetness and consistency. Add more ice for thickness or a splash of coconut milk if too thick. - Serve immediately
Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy fresh.
