Pro Tips
• For the smoothest, creamiest texture, use a high-speed blender. An immersion blender also works well. If shaking by hand in a jar, be prepared for a less uniform consistency.
• For an instantly refreshing shake, make sure your coconut milk is well-chilled before blending. You can even chill your glass for a few minutes in the freezer for an extra frosty treat.
• Easily turn this into a post-workout recovery drink by adding a scoop of your favorite low-carb chocolate or vanilla protein powder. You may need to add a splash more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
• Customize your sweetener. Feel free to use monk fruit, erythritol, or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener. Always start with a small amount and adjust to your personal taste.
